Not really what I want from you, dude, but hey, at least you're making something again.
2 minor points, imo.
1) Even if the lesbian stuff isn't optional, in the sense that it happens regardless of what we want (although I'm into it, so whatever for me), you should make it skippable to at least try to appeal to the haters. People drastically prefer avoidable/optional to skippable, because it still gets referenced as having happened in the story for skippable... but at least you don't have to watch it.
2) Making all main LIs non-optional, too, is gonna really turn off people. Even someone like me, who usually accepts ALL LIs in the bigger harem games, wants the option if one is just an awful bitch or something. Or if someone you like is like, "Please not HER." Might be too much "branching" depending on how you make the dialogue, but if you could just make it so the sex with them is optional, but have the MC be a bit of a flirt or something, and not shut down everyone flirting with him, but you still CAN turn down the sex? Or again, bare-minimum, make it skippable.
I think you'll have a better chance at more people playing and enjoying, which means better chances of supporters.
Anyway, good luck. I'll add it to F95 Checker and come back in a few updates and see if it seems worth trying and stuff.
(Really just want more Stormside, though)
