Nah this forum is full of tolerant people, including myself
The main problem is that I don't want to force the plot trying to reach all tastes. As Aleema told me privately, there's nothing wrong in trying to make a male-oriented game. I mean for RPGs I think is better to try to please everyone, for visual novels or other genres, you can't always have bisexual or gay romances of all kinds. Last year I made several "female-oriented" games: Love & Order (even if had a bit of GxG was soft), Always Remember Me (pure otome) and Winter In Fairbrook (again pure otome).
X and Y wrote:Yes to TanyaXHelen! I still want to get Tina involved in a GXG pairing somehow. She didn't have such a big role in the first game, but she resonated much more strongly than any other character for me. That's a shame about the BXB: they tend to be more popular among females, don't they? Or am I mixing up my statistics?
I'm not sure about BxB but from what I know/heard I think so!

Tina GxG... I never thought about her like that, but to be honest all she did in first game was flirt with Robert, but she seemed pretty concerned about Tanya so might work
X and Y wrote:We can definitely try to reword the selections so that people have an idea about what skills might be associated with each choice. After all, it's much the same in daily social interactions: you kind of navigate social waters at your own risks, correct? I don't think it's possible to shut down the rollback system, is it? As Aleema pointed out, the rollback does make it much easier to "cheat," but then again the selections are interactive enough that you'd have to rollback repeatedly to get at the correct "solution".
No you can block rollback if you want, indeed I plan to do it in the final game

I am thinking to remove the skills completely though, since I'd prefer the player to play as he/she wants - if player wants to be a sexy Tanya or a intimidating one, it should be all his own decisions I think.
Anyway: today if I have time will try to send you a new storyboard!
