When playing as the female MC, sex scenes with male character will be possible, but optional (i.e. skippable)
  • This will apply to some of the other more divisive fetishes (e.g. futanari, if added).
  • One of my concerns with this approach is that it risks diluting the content if every other sex scene will be optional (so probably not a lot of these will be added)
This would be a pity. I really like the visuals and your writing is definitely above average so I am really looking forward to this game and would be disappointed to see you censor yourself. People have different tastes so I hope you'll do what you enjoy and ignore the negative voice. As for making some content optional, I am not sure this will be very motivating for you and I am concerned you might want to avoid it altogether. I doubt this game will explore any of my favourite kinks but I'll make sure to keep an eye on it just for the quality of it.

I don't mind having mandatory sex scenes with females when in control of a male body =]
Being forced to have sex with a guy as female MC is kinda mehh though, so good thing those are optional.

Will there be a variety of lesbian content as female MC? I personally hope so:p
What do you have in mind for "divisive fetishes" other than futa?

1. Yes, lesbian content will be plentiful, for sure.
2. Well, actually futa was the main one I was thinking about maybe adding in the future (we'll see about others)

Impressive game so far! I love how it just looks and feels different than anything I've seen in awhile, especially for a Ren'Py game. There's a cinematic quality to it. While I'm sure it wasn't "simple" to implement, simple things like the moving lights in the forest and the fire in the background are impressive and help with immersion. Even just the nontraditional text placement gives it a unique feel.

The idea is to have a succubus/demon transformation of the MC, but this is something more long term that will happen gradually.
For the more near term, the main character will be able to take control of other people's bodies (male and female), not sure if transformation is the most accurate description of this.
The transformation tag tends to apply to games where a male slowly transforms into a female (or the other way around?), which is a rather specific fetish. People may potentially avoid this game simply because of that tag even if the game doesn't contain that form of transformation...?

Looking forward already to the next installment!

As the guy above said... transformation is now used almost exclusively for gay shit (unfortunately) so you might want to put "transformation (into succubus)" instead or something related to body change

Hey guys,

I'm going to try and answer a couple of questions/concerns, so wall of text incoming :)


Though I would like to promise monthly updates, it's probably not realistic at this time.
Maybe in the future if I streamline/automate/outsource some of the game dev processes or if I could dedicate more time to this game I would be able to achieve this.



Some sex scenes will be mandatory, but those will more likely not include some of the more divisive fetishes (further explained at the bottom of this post)


Chapter I contains one masturbation scene with a brief part containing actual nudity. Future updates will provide more adult content, since the first chapter was focused more on introducing the story.

I've added some screenshots of the scene:

---------------------------

The Lust Within, fetsihes, and you (or why it's not gay to play a female MC :p)

Joking aside, I understand that playing a female MC is not something all people are comfortable with, more specifically having sex scenes with a man be mandatory while playing a female character.

The direction in which I would like to take the game will hopefully alleviate this concern somewhat:
  • The story will follow two main threads, one where the main character inhibits the female body you got to know in chapter I, while the other will have the MC take control or share experiences of another character (including male)
  • While in control of a male character sex scenes with other female characters will not pose any problems (thus there will be some that will be mandatory)
  • When playing as the female MC, sex scenes with male characters will be possible, but optional (i.e. skippable)
    • This will apply to some of the other more divisive fetishes (e.g. futanari, if added).
    • One of my concerns with this approach is that it risks diluting the content if every other sex scene will be optional (so probably not a lot of these will be added, we'll see)

---------------------------

Thank you, and keep the feedback coming.
Thanks for the response, love succubization, sounds interesting. Also don't get hung up on the people who "insert" themselves as the MC and let it divert your original intentions for the game. Sure it's a porn game and it has to be fappable to gain support, but people who can't play a female PC who has straight sex? Really? There's only so much catering one can do without completely compromising their vision. Worst case you can go the CoD route and put in trigger warnings and "skip the terrorist attack" for the people who can't handle a female PC or something. Preferably in the menu like some vore games do so it doesn't affect the flow of the story. Looks promising, I'll probably check it out later when there's more content, thanks again for posting the screencaps.

Theres any chance to make this mandatory sex scenes "not mandatory"? Or let's the player choose with who him whant make some mandatory scene?
And this "futa" content can be nto mandatory? Like, more avoidable, if is possible...

In short: any chance to be a full "no dick" experience?
=P

Good start, only suggestion I'd say is that you should give the player the option to choose what personification they play in.

Rather then using "You" as a pronoun allow the player to give her a name and play in 3rd person rather then 1st. Nice art style, and development however.

I was reading the comments of everyone who was passing on this game because the MC was female. Then as I played it seemed that Lilith's comments about the world repressing their desires due to societal norms had a double meaning. Maybe this game will free the players as much as the quest being offered will free the minds of those in the game world....
So far it has a great sense of mood and pace and I can't wait to see how it develops.

I have to say, this is one of the most promising new games I have seen. Here's hoping for fulfillment of that promise, and all the success it deserves!

In terms of Render Quality, this game has some serious competition from Family Secrets. And both of y'all value quality over quantity. Looking forward to both!

Yeah sex types with a game is always difficult. I would love to see a big psych test on a game and see how it comes out, the % of how people feel.
Like Futa. If you were into F/F, blury line between that and a really realistic strapon heh.
But that's also brings in the Futa with or without balls lol.
F/Futa I like, but I think a lot of that is that F/Futa is usually written as Futa also dom. And I'm a sucker for F MC in the perilous world trope.

Anyway, loving your game. Love the characters (nice realistic builds) and the shots. Thanks.

Yeah that would be interesting. I want to know how outside the norm I am, or not.

Personally I HATE futa (like kill it with fire hate) and find F/F only ok...

Heh, I'd call it more the average (mainstream?) than 'norm'. As normal has a bit of a loaded meaning (judgement) depending on how you look at it. I'm sure just being from a difficult culture would change the results. Like you can be Normal if you live here, then Abnormal if you move to there heh.

And it can even not be down to outright dislikes, but being bored. Nothing against F-M, just bored as so many games are M (MC)/F where M fucks all the bimbos, or F (MC) get fucked by all the M.
With all the limitless potential of videogames and the graphics engines.. just need a break from another 3DCG blow job heh.

And I guess that comes into your sex choices. Go mainstream, you compete with the masses, go more niche less competition but smaller overall pool due to those that won't even touch it.

Is the music supposed to be working? I notice there's an option for music and sound under settings, but I can't hear anything.

There's no music yet as the game's development has only just begun.

I'm liking where this is going. The animations are very polished and the dialogue is well constructed and thought out. My only issue is that a lot of sentences end without punctuation, making it feel a bit robotic.
Hmm, I have a chance to bail on Emma during the wolf attack, but I'll probably never use that option... Given the nature of a 0.1.0 Tech Demo, I can't imagine it would change much.
