Hurrah for professional integrity :FuckYea:As my friend and business partner, @Palanto Games has indicated, there will be Male/Male content in certain sections of the game that will be available to players and those routes will avoidable for those who are not interested in that sort of content as the story progresses.
While it is not my "kink", I have many personal friends who live that lifestyle, as well as, are also in a state of transitioning or have completed their transition in their lives to help make sure that the routes of M/M, Transformation (not the MC but another Male Character... i.e.: Claire's brother William) and Sissy Training are done correctly and remains consistent with the current storytelling that people have become familiar with from us.
These routes will be clearly marked, among others, that players can avoid if they want through the choice based system, it will only ask once and if selected to avoid, then all future choices of that nature will be "greyed out" and not selectable in future route options.
While this had been a route feature that was requested by many players, it was honestly planned while creating the story, so it wasn't a "cave in" on our part, but really a desire to create a game title that would support players of all "kinks" and walks of life and be inclusive.
While players and fans are free to express their desires and interests in seeing "unplanned" storyline and content, the truth is, we will only add that stuff in if we feel that it can be successfully injected within the game and storyline without being heavy handed or disruptive.
We know that this game is not going to be for everyone; already we've seen some complain as to such things as the religious aspect and explanations within the game that challenge today's religious beliefs and heavily utilizes the fact that the main MC in the game is the prophesized "Antichrist", as well as, such things as skimpily dressed fantasy characters and, although only mentioned and never shown, a daughter willing to explore her sexuality with the family pet.
Our main goal is to tell an interesting story that is inclusive to a multitude of people of various lifestyles and kinks and entertain them, while also making a name for ourselves as good storytellers and programmers and make a little money doing what we've always wanted to do... make a game, be entertaining, show off our abilities, to be different from other adult game creators and open a door for us to maybe do this for a living one day.
And... hopefully, we can succeed in that mission statement!!
While certain things don't fit my personal tastes (e.g. Male/Male, NTR towards the PC, gender transformation in most cases to name but a few), I have no problem with them existing in a game provided they are purely optional content and can be avoided (obviously if the whole premise of a game is one or more of those things, then asking for it to be optional content would be moronic. In that case I'd just move along, as it's not meant for me).
It's good to know that you only intend to add content if it fits in well with the existing and planned story rather than just throwing as much in as possible regardless of whether it fits or not, as some devs seem to do.
While not fitting my tastes it's also good to hear that you intend to do it well (and have people that you can turn to in order to help you achieve that), as there's nothing worse than a half-assed/half-hearted attempt (especially if you already have a good story going).
I'm sure that if you maintain the same level of professionalism/professional integrity (which I'm sure you will) then it's merely a matter of time before you're able to do this for a living *inserts a thumbs up emoji here*
