I wonder, will Juliette have a role in SoC Act II? If Rowan takes her after the fall of Rastedel, will she become a member of his harem?
Juliet will potentially re-appear in some capacity in SoC 2. I have plans for her.
I know you were trying to sound impartial dev, but one user was expressing his desire for a fetish in your game, another user kinkshamed him and mocked him. Your answer so far to the ntr haters is to say "it's avoidable and you've got plenty of content to enjoy in this game." So why not do the same for maledom harem haters?
Anyway, back to the topic, I think a while back roughly 25% of the game was estimated ntr and 15% gay and furry. Is there an estimate on what percent of the game has maledom non-ntr focus?
As with all things, there is an element of context. This thread is like 500 pages long, and if you want you can find pages and pages of arguments on the subject of Andras' role in the game. My wall of text above is less about lambasting any particular member of the discussion and more about finding the appropriate framing for considering the question.
Being charitable to Rivon, I am reasonably certain that they mostly just associated the comment with one of the prior flame wars. But, being charitable to Ori, I also understand how it can make such a response feel wildly disproptionate.
That said, there's a solid chance folks
haven't spent a lot of time on this thread and it's endless debates (which is probably a mental health benefit). And assuming that Ori has missed the "Andras wars" of the last few years, then I'm profoundly sorry this is the conversation dynamic you walked in on. And I hope the answer I provided afterwards clearly answered the question.
Rest assured, I think Maledom Harem stuff is a cool thing to want. I'm the principle writer of that type of content (Helayna, Liurial, etc) and it definitly has a place in SoC.
tl;dr: The thread gets bombarded by angry 4chaners mad about non-harem content, so it makes people more defensive and rude then they ought to be.
Regarding extent. This is a hard question to answer.
The thing about Gay, Lesbian, NTR, and Furry is that they're kind of easy to quantify. There's not really a grey zone for most. And with NTR, we mostly just counted Alexia x Andras, Alexia X Jezera, and any other scenes on their routes (Alexia x Garforth for example)
With Maledom, there's WAY more grey area. Like, Liurial scenes and Helayna scenes with Rowan are all clearly in the category. But some of the others it's less clear. Is Delane maledom? It has harem undertones, but it's mostly vanilla or her lightly topping. Is Shaya maledom? He's in a "power position" of sorts in many of their scenes, but the power dynamic there is complex. Then there's Rowan x Alexia, which has a few out and out maledom scenes. But a lot of their material is vanilla or has complex dynamics.
Then we get to the harem category, which is another can of worms. Like, if you really want to think about it, isn't Draith a Rowan haremette? Certainly more so then Shaya or Cliohna.
If I'd have to give an eyeball to it, maybe 10% to 15% of the game's content are strict Mdom with Rowan on top. And then there's like 30% or 40% of the game's content that is somewhere in "it depends" zone. But, that's just eyeball.
