And in order to have a baseline, how would you label uninhibited males?
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to sound rude (written stuff on the internet can be perceived different), but I don't care about uninhibited males, the more girls and less penises, the better. For some reason I love harem games I guess.
So...what do you consider "corruption?" Is it about becoming less compassionate, less considerate of others, or just having more sexual interest?
For me, corruption relates to the former items, someone losing their connection to others, becoming self-centered to the detriment of others in their lives.
Becoming more sexual isn't corruption, in my mind, it's awakening to new potential, new experiences.
You got me wrong. I just gave an example about the corruption genre here in the forums. To give an idea, I like games where innocent girls get corrupted into vixens or even interspecies pregnancy (don't judge me pls, I know to differ reality from fantasy), as long it is well written. I hate when the girls "fall" into the slutty theme for no apparent reason. Writting is what makes me engaged into the game. In our reality you can compare it to a religious girl that falls to pornography acting for example. That's what I meant about corruption.
I just gave that example, because while I like that corruption genre (again, when it is well written), at the same time Alyssa is already an well written character. That's why I said that, while I like that, it wouldn't fit her and she's already a great character. And I'm usually a guy who doesn't like those kind of characters, because unfortunely most devs don't achieve a good balance of shyness and character development. Many games who dive into that have boring and repetitive characters, with stale and corny scenes, which end up making the characters not being memorable.
So yeah, in a sense corruption is what you mentioned, losing their conection to others and ending up experiencing new stuff. Again, I reinforce that I understood when the previous comment meant afterwards, but just explained what I saw about ending up being slutty and "change". I want to differ with you though, that getting corrupted doesn't mean being less compassionate all the time. It really depends on how it is written as I mentioned above.
Sorry for the long post, just don't want to be misinterpreted.
edit: I'm blind and I just saw the username image now lmao. But yeah, on those games for example some characters are more memorable than others, because unfortunely somewhat repeat on their "theme" a bit. I'm not against, just not my thing. I like the conection of the MC with the heroines, but at the same time I want something different. Btw, I like the MC on My New Memories more when comparing to My New Family for this exact reason, I see way more development of his character and care with the writing. But experience in writing and developing games gives that I guess. Also, while I understand the MC loves other characters, sometimes reality and situations should force the MC to get angry or scared. That can also show care from the MC to those characters, and it isn't always a bad thing. It is also more natural. We're humans after all.
