It's all about choices. NTR should not be forced. Futa should not be forced (I don't like futa). Furry stuff should not be forced. Gay stuff should not be forced. Etc. Give people a choice to disable what they don't like.

Meanwhile, in the other corner of the castle.
Rowan and Jezera's adorable blue baby: "Waaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Jezera: "It's so cuuuuute"
Rowan: "Yeah, I know right."
*Andras enters Jezera's room with his adorable red baby in his hands.*
Andras: "What the fuck!"
*Rowan grins*
Rowan: "Hey man, Quid pro quo."
Well, having seen people who were 'vehemently' anti-homosexual on various sites talking soo much shit about homosexual content, but seemingly have no problem with lesbians... It gets quite overwhelmingly humorous after a while.
You see, I am not sprouting some bullshit SJW agenda (I do however support Social justice, but not in some vile manner), nor am I some Far-leftist moron. I have absolutely no problem with people liking F/F content, or straight people, and I certainly do get your point.
What I unequivocally do have a problem with (And what you have mentioned), Is the moment when 'straight' people start sprouting shit about "Faggots are ruining Muh game!" without giving a single thought about how, when they are opposing homosexuality on the grounds of homosexuality, are forgetting that Lesbians are also 'Dykes', yet they never raise the torch to the lesbians. No body 'lynches' the Lesbians in some written diatribe or other... No, it is always the 'Faggots' who have to go.
And thus, if you see it from my point of view, you will see hypocrites as far as the eye can see.
This, is my point. And this is why, when people start raising statements similar to what is stated above, that is where I derive some humour. In their vehement dislike of the 'Homosexuals', they will near-inevitably use double-standards to explain their position against homosexuality.
"Oh, Lesbians aren't gay. That's totally not gay!"
Which is funny, in the same way that people defend traps.
"Liking Traps isn't gay, it totally isn't gay!"
But gays... homosexual males.
"Faggots are ruining muh game!"
"Lets go kill all the faggots!"
And thus, one reaches an Orwellian level of 'double-think' (In that they dislike Homosexuals, but also enjoy Homosexuals, dislike Gays, but like Lesbians), to think away their woes, castigating people for their enjoyment of two people liking the dick, whilst enjoying two chicks merely scissoring it out for their visual enjoyment. This is where I infer that, people who raise the above sentiments, generally tend to be, you guessed it, Hypocrites.
As for political correctness. I undress it, douse it in gasoline, piss on it, and set the bitch on fire with a match. Political correctness, is the death of logic and reason. Certainly, if I were under the pretenses of being PC, I wouldn't be using Faggot or Dyke in this conversation, now, would I? Nor would I mention the casual undressing, pissing on and burning of a bullshit concept.
Political correctness is a crutch for morons with a rather overwhelmingly big desire for Authoritarianism.
But, George Carlin explains this best.
Edit: Additionally, I find it funny that you are asserting that I am a "acting like a SJW", when you do not know 'anything' about me. I don't know anything about you, I don't know you as a person and I don't know your opinions et cetera. Even if I did, I would not act out in any way malicious, and I certainly wouldn't infer things about you or label you, because I, unlike many people in the world, pride myself on my integrity, and on my belief in 'civil' discussion, and all that such entails. You may say of this, as you will, insult me as you will.
I certainly am not going to soil your name, nor will I insult you as a man/woman/attack-helicopter, and I won't insult you by putting words in your mouth, nor to add words where that do not need to be there. I may insult your character, and I may insult you as a person, but I will not insult your name. So do not add words down my throat and Infer that I am being something of which I am not, or of an agenda, of which I am not, nor of a group affiliation, of which I am not. Because then, where will the basis of 'civility' go? When you may label me, but I shall not label you?
So, to reiterate, I am not a 'Social Justice Warrior', nor was I, through my actions, being 'Social Justice Warrior-ish', I don't have an agenda. What I am, is biased, but that is merely a part of the human condition, and what I am, is human.
Additionally, I would be a terrible SJW. for you see, I am white and guilty of so many sins. Sins of which I have not committed myself, but of which I am guilty regardless. And so, you can see why I would be a terrible SJW. Not to mention, most SJW's are hypocrites also, and it is a hard choice between choosing whether the Anti-gays or the SJW's are more hypocritical. Because fucking hell.
If you feel that you must throw words or labels to your 'opposition', or infer that I am acting in a certain way, what you should call me is a pessimist, or perhaps a cynic. When people start saying that I am acting in a way, of which I know I am not, I think I can justify myself for being within this league.
Not to mention, with the amount of Anti-gay comments I have seen in my life. A fair amount of pessimism/cynicism, is... I feel, quite a healthy response.
If I have to be called a 'SJW' for expressing my viewpoint that 'Anti-gay' people generally tend to be hypocrites, I shall continue to do so. I believe in equality. Even if that equality means that both Gays and Lesbians should be equally mis-judged by unsavory people. At least those Homophobes aren't hypocritical.

You decide how consistent your characters are. You want Rowan to be a heterosexual male? Only pick scenes where he bangs a chick. Literally every scene basically gives you a prompt "Do you really want to get nasty with this person? Do you? Are you suuuuuuuure? Are you really really really sure? Really?".
You can play Rowan as a sex-addict, a loyal husband, a sissy fag, or a pussy-slayer. It's up to you.

Man I am so not getting into that discussion. All I say is this:
It’s 2018. Anybody who has a problem with the fact that somewhere out there in the world there are gay people doing jolly gay things, and that somewhere in their games and movies and books there are also gay people doing jolly gay things - is going to have an interesting experience with reality in the years to come. (Unless they live in the middle east or Asia, then they probably might get away with their very... respectable views for some more years).
Now, moving on, I wanted to comment on something.
- What is a specific character interested in sexually?
- Under what circumstances could character X fuck character Y?
We try to keep characterisation consistent, though with 4 writers on the team, each with varying content preference, it can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, especially as the amount of events increase over time.
If anybody here knows of any scenes where characterisation is glaringly inconsistent, they can point the out, and I’ll toss to them to my personal review “To do” list.

This is a well said point, and it has not escaped the writing team. While by design both Alexia and Rowan are at the very least bi-curious, other characters have more defined sexualities. A downright silly amount of time is spent debating:
- What is a specific character interested in sexually?
- Under what circumstances could character X fuck character Y?

Well, regardless of the content of a given scene, there generally speaking needs to be more dominant Rowan content. Also more of the elf-slut getting fucked by Rowan, because you can never have too much elf-slut.
Dominant gay Rowan, not just with feminine sluts but actual men. And let's not assume him as a complete bottom just because someone is bigger for fuck's sake.
The poor guy must have failed the skill check. Damn dice rolls.

Alright, let's fucking do this.
We do not need a single straight male to fund the M/M content. Among straight male players, statistically speaking, all of it is going to M/F or F/F content. Not one.
What that means is that if we simply ceased to make these scenes, then said people would no longer pay for the game. Which means that we would make one fewer scenes per month to two months. Which means, that even if we removed the M/M content from the game, the same exact number of straight scenes would be getting made each month.
So stop using your buzzword about "prioritizing". If we would be making the same amount of straight content regardless of whether or not we were making gay content, then why exactly would doing that somehow improve the business side of the game? The only way I can think of is if there is some massive segment of homophobes who want to donate to the game but refuse because they don't want to touch "the gay stuff" in a game with optional gay content. Is that the market sliver you're talking about that we can't reach?
Do you understand why the way you are framing your argument makes you sound like someone in that sliver?
It's not an attempt to claim hypocrisy. It's a claim that an argument isn't being made in good faith.
There will be an Overlord route. It will probably not play out exactly like that. We take generalized requests, but the exact nature of what happens will probably not be that specific.
More to the point, even in a more empowering context, the story here is not a complete empowerment fantasy. Even a Rowan that overthrows the twins will find that the world won't just bow to his whims. There will still be conflicts, failures, challenges, and things besides narrowly kicking ass and taking names. Good stories have conflicts. Bad stories do not.
You forgot about the other argument I made. Diminishing returns. The total audience share for H-games interested in M/M content is perhaps 10% to 15% based on statistics. Our internal polling shows that 10% to 15% of fans are vocally pro-M/M content. These people are funding the existence of these scenes IN ENTIRETY. In fact, it might actually be a bit undeserved, which is part of why we've been considering an expansion of M/M content.
We do not need a single straight male to fund the M/M content. Among straight male players, statistically speaking, all of it is going to M/F or F/F content. Not one.

I agree. The reason the F/F complaint is valid, is because it's an answer to some forms of the anti-homosexual content argument that argue that focusing on too many fetishes dilutes depth. It's an attempt to disguise the more socially unacceptable "I don't want optional gay sex!" arguments. I, and I think Sexnati as well, were pointing out that if that were the case, what would be removed would be more expansive then "remove the M/M".
It's not an attempt to claim hypocrisy. It's a claim that an argument isn't being made in good faith.
You're going to need to explain this complaint better. What do you mean by choices lacking consistent characterization? Please provide an example of an inconsistency.
Well that was...specific...

That's essentially our philosophy. If a player does not like certain types of content, nothing in the game will force players to engage in it. There are always alternatives.
Were they? I don't know the manner they got released. I just know that we didn't intend for their early release, and at present don't have much to say about the content with her. It's coming. Those scenes will be in the game. Just not yet.
There's more Helayna content this release. I plan on putting out another Helayna scene, god willing, in October. It's not like we aren't already increasing the dominant Rowan content.
There is a desire for more Rowan as a top M/m scenes. I can't comment on what those scenes will look like. I don't write the M/M content.
I might be in the minority but I really like male dom as well as hard NTR and all forms of cheating and shit lol. I love that this game can put up a coherent story that actually combines all of these fetishes in a single run. My main save is rowan banging all the chicks and claiming hylena while Alexia bangs Andras. It all flows well with minimal characterization clashes even when combining these opposing fetishes. He cant very well domninate the twins yet since his way weaker, so hes still their bitch which makes sense. I guess my only gripe is that Rowan is forced to be too morally conscious. I made a long post a while back about it. It would fit well if you are trying to play as honorable as one can be under the circumstances, but when you try to go really dark, there is a bit of clash with what would be reasonable based on his dialogue and monologues. Lack of dom Rowan scenes is noticable but im sure that will be worked on as the development progresses.

Since it has already been established that magic can make penises appear and disappear, one thing I'd like to request is the option to de-futa Roseln once she has been beaten. Futa on female is one thing, but Futa on male is another. This could be done with very little change to art, since you could just use variants. Similar things could also be done for other male on futa scenes.

I think the players and devs are talking past each other when it comes to dom Rowan. The devs keep pointing to Luriel and other super subs he bangs, but I think most the players are referring to his interactions with all the other characters. He tends to be submissive to almost everyone he meets, without ever being aggressive or even an equal partner, unless the characters are super submissive themselves. The way he is ordered around by Clan-min is a great example of this.

And here is where good writing and good game design comes in. Currently the game feels like a mosh pit of different flavors of genres. I feel like a centralized UI with the girls, eg Alexia, describing their "history" and the choices / scenes you made them go through will help tie this.
The best game that I've seen do this is

. You need to play a few hours and watch how her profile changes. There's a lot of programming involved here, but it's all text / programming work so if you're a competent coder, this shouldn't be too expensive. Compared to you hiring some dude drawing a bunch of scenes; it's going to cost less man hours. I'm almost inclined to write some library with RENPY using OOP to demonstrate a good way to code this... the challenge and fun is there. A well designed system will make adding / removing text in that menu a breeze. A badly written one will look like the guy who does Rogue-like which takes months to release bad code.

Hello seedlings,
Another month gone, and another release down. Again, like the last two months, it was a bit of a mixed bag in that release went smoothly, but there was practically no growth. Hopefully that will sort itself out, all we can do on our end is keep working hard, improving the game, and releasing on time.
Moving on, the date for the next backer release will be the weekend of the 27th-28th. As previously mentioned there will be a big focus this month on introducing Rastedel. This will involve opening up the second half of the Rosaria map (which will unfortunately require a new game to be started), with players now being able to travel to the capital, and begin the narrative arc that will form the conclusion of the game's first act.
To that end, Winter has been working away writing, splitting his work last month to do double duty, and we are hoping to give you the first two stages of the Rastedel storyline (which should be something like eight events) to serve as a solid introduction. He'll also be doing a bit more with Helayna, and a few small events, while Rein will be focusing on a few Alexia events.
Art wise, Sommy has already finished one Rastedel background that we will be sharing over the next few days, and he'll be working on another for the release. He'll also be doing two CGs for this release, one of which is a non-sexual story CG important for the Rastedel narrative. MDN has been giving his four CG descriptions, and I'll be sharing those with backers as they arrive. Finally Keidi has been working on the sprites for new characters needed for Rastedel, including the baron above - here's Winter to say a little about him.
Meet Baron De Rosa, the ruler of Rosaria.
Impressive outfit, right? Well, I'd say so. Anyway, for all of his power the Baron isn't there a 100% anymore. Kind of a problem in a system of one man rule. I doubt I need to explain what role he's going to have on the plot in too much detail. When the ruler is weak, what does his kingdom (well, barony) look like? We're also going to go deeper into his psychology and motivations, and perhaps even get a few surprises.
Back to you, boss!
That's all for today. We're really excited about Rastedel, and we hope you are looking forward to visiting too.
New update, Rastedel is coming up next. For the record, I''m kinda curious how noble ranks work in this setting exactly. Is Baron De Rosa just the guy's name or is it his title? I would assume that a kingdom would be led by a king.
