You nailed it on the head, couldn't have said it better myself. I know i can't please everyone and i won't even try. But i won't be allowed to be manipulated either. I have a clear direction and i will stick to it. I appreciate feedback and criticizm but if it doesn't fit my story i won't consider putting it in. Simple as thatSo, yeah, sounds like some wires had gotten crossed then. Miscommunications happen. This makes it sounds like there are only two love interests total, one male and one female, and you pick between them. Every other character is just a side character NPC, not a side love interest. That's fair. Some of the phrasing before just made it sound like you had planned side love interests which is why some people where confused (I think) as to what you were planning. No one's fault, it just happens some times, especially in purely text based communications.
So obviously if the Mc isn't even able to have sex scenes with more than one characters depending on path (male or female) then you wouldn't have a harem, there aren't any other love interests, main or side. It does still sound like when you hear harem you think of it as a type of cheating or something, but it isn't. Just as an aside, if you plan on making more games or being around the hobby and stuff, it could be a good idea to look into what a harem actually is, again, not a big deal now since you've clarified some stuff. That this is more of a solo love interest game were you pick between two options.
One of the reason people care so much about future tags is because there have been devs who have actually just lied about it. Devs who promise one thing and then do another. And devs who refuse to answer so they can bait in people and then surprise them with tags. Which is lame because those tactics only work on new releases and before the game is done. Once it is done all the tags will be out, and all they did was show they aren't trustworthy when it comes to future projects (EDIT: Not that you have done this, it has just happened before, so it makes people cautious of new devs). And tags are mostly just a genre thing. Players knowing a tag isn't a spoiler because they is still the who, how, when, where, and why, of how the tag gets implemented. Saying, "My game will (or might) have 'X' tag," is no more a spoiler than saying "My sci-fi game will have aliens and space ships." Using something you already said, a character will die, and apparently an important one. That's incredible helpful, but doesn't spoil anything really. All it does is interest and entice people who like stories with that kind of stuff, gritty scenes and revenge plots, but it also lets players who hate any character death know the story isn't for them. It sounds like you're telling a gothic horror story, so fans of the genre now know that and people who don't like it can avoid it more easily, it's a win-win (if it isn't gothic horror the point still applies, more information is almost never a bad thing). Players will still have to learn the context and executions of those things. So sometimes people get nervous when devs don't share or make clear what tags they want to add.
Anyway, I have a tendance to be long winded, sorry about that. Thanks for replying before and best of luck again,
Thank you for your feedback. I will see what i can do about implementing some more fonts, at least one more that is more on the ''standard'' side of things
Still up in the air on that one, but i will see what i can do on that front. Either way, its not something that will happen in first few chapters, i would like to say more towards the middle of the game. It is certainly something i can consider.
Well, for this game, i wanted to do something different that others haven't done yet, hence the female MC. I have played a number of vampire themed VN's and 9/10 its a male protagonist so i wanted to make something a bit different, in more ways than one!
