The stats aren't arbitrary. They're tied to a lot of systems and those systems are tied to other things.
There's always a risk of the domino effect.
Welcome to programming, and as programs go, this is a relatively small and simple one.
We're in early beta as well.
I bet it's a little frustrating dealing with people that are acting like this game is finished or close to finished when it reality it is barely started.
And... technically it's not even Beta, it's Alpha. Beta implies a more or less finished project and you're down to polishing and bug fixing. This is more accurately an early Alpha as so much is left to be done.
I'd suggest using something like the Steam "Early Access" description as that is a fair description of the game.
The takeaway is that once we complete the game for a straight male Null, we'll be able to add a gay Null or a female Null in less than half the time.
Which will still be significant effort.
Oh... they probably didn't want to hear that.
Girls have standard trope personalities. You make them gay in your head. Alright.
People rarely realize that a significant part of what they see in art is their own interpretation of it. A lot of times where people say that something is obviously about XYZ is actually projection, that they want it to be true (for varying reasons), so they are seeing it, That isn't to say that artists (including porn game designers) don't try to convey certain things, just that unless it is blatantly obvious, the odds are most people will miss it and come up with their own interpretation - which is why there is often huge debates about the meaning of old stories.
Abstract Art is completely about that. While the artist may have had a certain idea in mind, it is difficult to convey through abstract art, and what most people will see when looking at it is what they brought to it.
So, in that regard all art is to some degree a Rorschach test.
