PS: The wife asked me to thank all of you for the words of support and kindness that you've expressed!
it is great that you are going into so much detail in your story keep up the good work. and seeing it from your side you have every reason to be pissed off at me for my comment since you have a lot pressure on your mind so it's alright. i just didn't want to offend you that's never been my intention. thank you for taking your time in replying to me i really appreciate it. good luckYou really don't have to apologize, @jacktrail, but I do appreciate that you have; likewise, I am deeply sorry for being as curt as I was with you... so, please, forgive me for that.
Been under a bit of stress around here and up to my bushy eyebrows in trying to get our next release done, so I haven't been taking the kind of time that I should in my replies and my [rather short] fuse seems to get easily lit right now... and I should've worded my reply to you much better than I did, while clearing up the misunderstanding about the level of 'bestiality' that was mentioned in our game.
I understand that people have lines that they don't want to cross while playing games and enjoying themselves... I have my own that I won't cross, I might toe the line a bit... but won't cross them, so I can understand when people reach an area within our game that might make them uncomfortable or unhappy... and may not desire to finish our game as a result of that.
As @DA22 states above my post (thanks for the help, my friend) the scene that upset you was done to show the audience, and prove to the MC, that the MC had very little knowledge about the activities that were going on in his own family... that his 'perfect' vision of his wife and kids, their level of 'innocence' wasn't what he imagined and was only perceived by him, but not the reality at all.
As the writer, it was important to 'shock' both the audience and the MC out of the impression that he was living this 'perfect' life and that his daughter wasn't the 'perfect little angel' or 'innocent flower' that he believed her to be... it needed to be done quickly and leave an emotional impact on both the character and the players (like tearing a Bandaid off) where there would be surprise, pain and a sickening feeling where you didn't really want to look at the wound under it, but a morbid sense of curiosity and concern would keep you from not being able to look...
I had initially toyed with the idea of a scene where the Player caught her masturbating or one where her boyfriend sneaks into her room and that is what the MC would see... but ultimately felt that it was very cliché and wouldn't have an impact and shock that both the MC and Players would be able to react to... might've been a shock to the MC, but Players would brush it off quickly or found it erotic and stimulating; so the scene needed to have a lasting effect on both the MC AND on the Player... so mention of the household dog was used.
In the scene, if people notice, I chose to focus on the MC... not on the act that was taking place in the room, or even showing it, the intent (I thought) would be clear that the intent and focus should be on the MC's reaction to what he was witnessing rather than what was transpiring in the room... and make a social point that parents tend to have these illusions of who their children are and that those illusions make them complacent and unable to see the truth of things... until it is too late.
The scene also creatively provides Players who may choose to pursue using the MC's daughter a form as a means in which to 'Power Up' with a form of absolution with an internal argument of: "If she can have sexual interaction with the family dog, why not with me?"
Humans always look for ways in which to justify their behavior, allowing themselves the ability to rationalize the reason that they are performing an act that they wouldn't normally succumb to or allow themselves... they use that reason as means to absolve themselves of any guilt that they might feel... and, as the writer, it is my job to sort of provide the MC with those reasons to make the story more believable and provide an 'excuse' for that action if players choose to use it... even if those reasons might be a reflective excuse or a common trope like: "Well, if my wife is cheating on me and having sex with others, I guess I can too..."
Anyhow, hope that better explains the reason for that scene for you and any others... but again, most of scene is only hinted at, it is the reader that is filling the blanks in and if anyone took it beyond what I had written, than it was their own imagination... not mine.
No worries, @jacktrail and, again, I am sorry for being as curt as I had been. Thank you for taking the time to at least try our game and for reaching out; hopefully, you may try to continue trying... but, if not, we at least appreciate the time that you did take to do so!it is great that you are going into so much detail in your story keep up the good work. and seeing it from your side you have every reason to be pissed off at me for my comment since you have a lot pressure on your mind so it's alright. i just didn't want to offend you that's never been my intention. thank you for taking your time in replying to me i really appreciate it. good luck
Um... errr...i just played the game the first scene uncle-niece sex scene was fantastic and detailed and the story was great at the start then i found my self in different era with different girls and female protagonist instead of male ????? i closed the game
is the game going to continue with female protagonist ??? and can i avoid all the female protagonist scenes ??
i only want the male protagonist (i feel wired when controlling a female)
Front Page Overview said:Overview:
Each month, in our game: “Wicked Choices”, you will play one of the TWO major characters that you will control... the first is MICHAEL PRESTON (or the name of your choosing), the true Main Character that chronicles the events that unfolds (and that you, as the players, decide) as he is introduced and thrown into a world seeped in lies, deceit, incest, corruption, humiliation and all manners of dark desires. Married into a wealthy family that carries a dark secret and heavy burden, Michael Preston will learn that he has the destiny of being the ‘Antichrist’... the one fated to unleash onto mankind the demons that have long been kept imprisoned. Enter PRINCESS LYNARA, a young angel, wanted by her own kind for the truth she holds and who’s destiny is to find and meet the ‘Antichrist’; will she try to stop him… or will she allow herself to be corrupted and help aid him in his destiny?
so i cannot avoid the female protagonist scenes because it's typically part of the storyUm... errr...
No, you cannot avoid the female protagonist scenes, because her part of the story weaves into a much larger story...so i cannot avoid the female protagonist scenes because it's typically part of the story
Because that is the way we designed the game and helps determine the outcome of the approaching war...but why do i have to control her decisions
BOTH are the protagonist, hence the tags "Male Protagonist" and "Female Protagonist" and you can't get the story from only one viewpoint...how can i put my self as the male protagonist now (i like to be in the place of protagonist)
Can't help you there... sounds like issues that you'd have to overcome if you wanted to play our game.and of course i am not going to be the girl
Yup, no problem.okay thanks anyway

So I am finalizing a review of the game and I played the power up scene several times and in several ways and found some more typos.
