Why.... Why Every F***ing time when i see a real good Hand Art Style Project,
with a good story and gameplay, Every F***ing time i aslo see this:
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?????????????????????
There's 1441 games on this site with Female Protagonist + 2dcg tags and Male Protagonist tag excluded (so female protagonist exclusive). That's against 2466 games with Male Protagonist + 2dcg tags and Female Protagonist excluded. That's already over 1000 more games with male MC.
We can go even further and substract RPG Maker games from these numbers, because good amount of hand drawn female MC games are Japanese and often machine translated, so that's not exactly the high quality we're going here for.
That leaves us with:
810 games with Female Protagonist + 2dcg and without Male Protagonist + RPG Maker
2024 games with Male Protagonist + 2dcg and without Female Protagonist + RPG Maker
Which means 1214 more games with hand drawn art and exclusive Male Protagonist.
Now, how many of these are "a real good Hand Art Style Project" is an entirely different matter, because that tends to be subjective. I would still bet in favor of male protagonist, though.
Anyway, listen. I get that you feel disappointed when a game with good hand drawn art ends up being female MC only. I feel the same every time a new, promising male MC game pops up on latest updates page. But, please, don't go into those games' threads just to complain about it. There's at least one person like you grumbling about their disappointment with MC's gender in almost every game thread that has female protagonist tag (probably the same goes for male protagonist tag). You have 2466 (or 2024 if you dislike RPG Maker) games with your preferable MC's gender. I'm sure you can find something to your liking, eh?
Unless you're Futa/trans protagonist fan. In that case, sorry for my assumption.
And to add something about the game itself just so I'm not completely off-topic. I got to say that I'm a bit disappointed with the switch from RPG Maker to Renpy. Normally that would be a good thing, but this game actually had some awesome original sprites, backgrounds, ui etc. instead of the usual stock RPG Maker stuff. That said, I'm holding off on my judgement until I actually play that new Renpy version. As long as art style stays the same it should be good.
