Thank you,
lionmc , for your reaction. I really mean it. It's time to sort it out.
I disagree. I try to make it constructive, and I hope that I don't fail with it.
It could be harsh, and therefore I apologize in advance.
This is meant as Preview. Make what you want, of course.
Nether the less it is a free Forum so let's go.
...I admit we underestimated how strongly some people would react to it...
This sentence I read a lot from Devs, so you are not alone. You are comic book authors at first. You expect readers and be confronted with gamers.
Gamers want to immerse themselves with the Main Character. Here comes the next problem. And again, you are not alone. We are confronted with weak, unimmersive MCs left right and center. Good written MC are very, very rare. In near to all games, the MC is on a year-long journey to find their backbones or balls somewhere. And lose them constantly, again and again after they find them. I don't get, what's the Fun of playing such a character? Character growth yes. But wimps and idiots? Your MC is weak and react in a way I would never react. Example:
Now, I really would have rather not stepped into this particular swamp but the sex between the MC and Brigitte cannot honestly be mistaken for non-consensual
Here is a quote from the MC: "Why don't you get on my cock and find out?"
And again when leaving the house he is practically patting himself on the back: "It's been quite the night all considered"
His reaction make it even worse for me. Who in this world would react in such a way to that. Stockholm syndrome at its best.
I am a gamer and wanted choice, especially in a sandbox game. We don't have a choice there. What we have is a Mini game, which I tried to lose, so Brigitte don't get her way with me. No doesn't work either. A player shouldn't feel that powerless in a game.
Which brings us to the next problem: Power.
This is supposed to be a Mind Control game. The ultimate Power Fantasy. And we are able to get our Mother controlled enough to get us some coffee. Yes, that's exactly what Mind Control Fans are waiting for ...not.
I exaggerate it a little bit sure. But If mind control is in the game or not, it doesn't matter. We have mind controlling power bound to two rules, ok. Why no Harem? What stops us?
For the record we plan for some more power-play in the game but nothing that even the most generous souls would define as femdom.
Power plays all well and good. They are fun. But how can the MC grow with so little screen time?
So let the Femdom/rape in as a learning experience for the MC. Why not. But let him learn!
It doesn't matter how light or heavy you're thinking the Femdom is. But Vanilla? No!
It is in the game. I was roped down two time by Brigitte in my play through. And both times in a sexual manner. So it is femdom. You are known for ENF and CMNF content. Which for me is Maledom. Mind Control game with male protag are in essence Maledom Power fantasies. Period. And Male Domination is nowhere to be seen.
Next Problem.
One third of the lewd content in the Game are Bath tube Fantasies. Which contribute nothing to the game.
Another Third are Memories of people who once lived. That contributes to the story, but is overdone as much. Because they contribute nothing to the gameplay. You are Comic book authors and this thing are comics and not gameplay.
And the rest is 30 minutes of gameplay for the MC. Which should be 95%.
Bath tube Fantasies and Memories don't count for me.
If it were a more niche fetish, displayed more graphically, I could understand the outrage better. It fits well in the story, because the protagonist is is out of his depth and uncertain about his role in the story.
I hope you understand better why some of us expect something from the game which we don't get. And that's the reason for every discussion on F95.
Hope it was not too harsh and argumentative enough.
Unique game yes. Ok.
What wants the game to be? For what audience it is made for? Is it even a game, or more of a comic?
