Races, rpgm, centaur mc? Thoughts, ideas?

[GaoChan]

I've never posted questions like this before, idk if this is the right place-

I am sort of making a game in rpgm.

Wondering what types of mc, or party members would be enjoyed as in their race or gender, (nsfw) fantasy setting.


RACES.

My first thing was to add centaurs, i don't know how to fix the sprites in combat, (since I want the side view battle to be the one used)
- if it's not in sideview the sprites aren't as much of an issue as the actors won't be seen in battle, only thier pictures.

Centaur, male or female- Thoughts? (Or a story only involving centaurs, (I kinda like centaurs)
Futa, perhaps a centaur or only with the "horse meat," between the legs and have the party members be various fantasy creatures-

Other actors, party members?
Fairy, (for smol but helpful) Harpy, (for the egg lovers) and something cool could be a queen of sorts, with a big stinger and wings, (wasp, bee) Anthro.
Then there's the obvious furry route, having perhaps a wolf girl go from hostile to somewhat friendly and be part of the party, a werewolf? idk, stuff like that-

I'm just a bit lost as there's lots of choices and I'm not sure what people think is underrated or overused in rpgm, and games alike where nsfw content is expected with the people you meet and befriend over the course of a game-

(Extra questions)
Having more than one mc, (is that bad) say you can swap to a person named Beatrice, she wanders into town with a party member, when swapping to this other members you might want to enter a "lascivious," establisment-

In there you as the male might indulge in certain acts, that the female mc wouldn't!
Beatrice leaves as she's too shy or anything like that, she might wait outside and will be able to rejoin once you go back to your home or leave-

But this means you can have multiple things occur, for different actors through the game, so picking up and spending time with an actor might lead you to events-
Seems like a lot of routes and that stuff to me is fun, but is it too much for no real reason?

Is that a wanted thing, or is it simply better if you build around the one, true, main actor! Or does it depend on what type of game is being made-

Because I feel there's lots of cool ideas, wandering into town as someone who's hometown it is, you might be greeted more friendly as you're a local, change into some stranger and they'll be suspicious of you, have a meter that if you do quests the town might start accepting you-

And that concept can work with all sorts of nsfw-

I'm just thinking lots and I'm, well... lost.

my vote for futa centaur main character - something unique

Other actors, party members?

let player select team, choose between human or furry friends in adventures

Having more than one mc, (is that bad) say you can swap to a person named Beatrice, she wanders into town with a party member, when swapping to this other members you might want to enter a "lascivious," establisment-

more work - more time between updates - generally bad idea unless you have rock solid plan/game design

centaurs niche(inside already niche anthor/furry community) genre - small fanbase - less feedback - less support

I will assume here that you are looking for creative input that might appeal to a broader audience and actually publish your work. If not, disregard what follows and just follow your own fetish. It's very hard to code (or should I say draw) your own porn game without trying to create something you fully enjoy yourself.

First off: Think really carefully about it before you decide to make the MC a Centaur as well. Assuming you want to include him/her in most scenes in your game, his/her Body structure would greatly limit the available positions and dominate most CGs, just by the general size difference.

Regarding Races:

Centaurs as part of the Main cast of any porn (or non-porn) game are quite uncommen, not only due to their more demanding body-structure, but also due to the fact that every Monster-Girl with a non-human size will have to be accounted for somehow. As soon as you start to include CG or anything Art related, that size difference will prove more challanging then lets say a fairy, which is usually on the smaller side and easier to include.

Generally speaking in the Land of NSFW Games Fairys are used in alot of games, usually in the role of a "helpful" character or a comic-relief/guide kinda way. That doesn't mean they are a bad choice, it's just that some prefer them small, some prefer them MC-size for "the scenes", so someone will always be unhappy in the comments.

Harpys are rarely part of the main cast and usually more of a one-time side thing. Funny enough most games don't even go the Egg-Route when actually working with them. Or the Flying-Fetish route, which is criminally rare in porn anyway (I don't think I saw more than 2 or 3 flying sex scenes in 20 years of english based porn, not even the pure text ones).

Same with Bee/Wasp-Type. They also tend to be a rare encounter in games as are all insect-girls in general. But Queens are quite commenly part of the plot in that context, as it naturally allows for some easy story inclusion.

Wolf girls/Werewolf-Girls on the other hand aren't that unusual in certain genres. Next to Fox-Girls (Kitsunes) or Cat-Girls (Nekomusume) they tend to be one of the Go-to cast members for any furry lineup.

What I did notice, was the tendency to include manly winged species in your own ideas next to the centaurs. Aside from the afforementioned Fairys, Harpys and Bee-Girls, you might want to think about: Bat-Girls, Angels, Dragon-Girls, Succubi or Moth-Girls. All of them comparativly commen in the genre, mostly in a near human appearance with only a few race features.
Regarding your own fetisch, you might also want to think about a Sphinx, Pegasus, Unicorn or Allicorn.

If you really are looking for more exotic options, I would reccomend taking a look at Monster Girl Quest/Monster Girl Quest Paradox Wiki:

You must be registered to see the links

Alternative, there is the Monster Girl Encyclopedia with various variations of pretty much every commen species.

Personally I am a big Fan of Harpys or winged creatures myself, so by all means: Go for it if you feel like you want to include them in some capacity. But be warned: Be it a flying sex-scene or a centaur-mating CG, everything exotic that goes beyond the normal human-karma sutra is quite hard to turn into a satisfying picture. A lack of patience when drawing stopped me from continuing my own game attempt, so start with that part before you even think about doing to much coding. I saw you posted a few 3D Images, so in your case: Try to get the models done first.

Fuck "what people think", add what you think is cool. What will make your heart skip a beat when you work on the character. Your passion is worth more than random dudes opinions, they will not be there when you're down or losing your motivation, only you will.

Was a trope done 1000 times and it turns you on? Yours will be the 1001. People call for a certain direction which doesn't excite you? You won't be able to produce high quality for them on the long run.

Also, there's the question of ease of creation. Perhaps you should start with stuff which is easy to draw/render and get to the more complex characters later.

As a fantasy game creator myself, here are some fantasy females I have in my game or intend to add:

1. Big, tough muscular orc girl
2. Tiny goblin girls with huge tits (shamelessly stolen from Tinkerer's Peasant's Quest). There will be more "tiny girl/huge rack" in the future as well (hobbits etc) as I love the concept
3. Elfkin: waifish elf like race of females with zero inhabitations when it comes to sex. They will literally fuck anything when horny, from beasts to gangs.
4. "Normal" elf girls

Good luck!
