Hmmmm... I mean, this is a HS2 based game after all :3 And for why it might look the "same" as other game, it's most likely because of the hair. But yeah... Idk why you think it's ugly tbh. Can you tell me why MC looks ugly? Ngl, I've seen worse where the MC literally look like a default HS2 MC.
As for the other "female" characters, this is just the beginning. I don't want to repeat my past mistakes of introducing all the LI's in one go.
All these games, using this MC, are basically games made as passion projects with HxS/HxS2 assets. That is why all the guys, and the girls too for that matter, look the same.
But is also A) Why they are FREE, as to sell them would be copyright theft, and the company which owns the property is more than willing to bring suit. B) They are usually SO GOOD, because the devs already know how far they can push with Adult scenes, and the engine allows that easily. Does not mean there is not a lot of work, but a little less work than using RenPy architecture, which still needs more animation work, as not all can be copied. This allows, it seems, in my experience, for better writing and character development, if you are a sole dev working as a passion project.
But the MC does not really matter, in a good AVN... tbh, I have never understood that. What matters is hot women, in long, well 'shot'... paced, lit, angled, controlled, adult scenes.
If the women are hot, and the adult scenes make Paul Thomas, Andrew Blake and Mario Salieri look amateurs when it comes lush ambient aesthetic erotica.... the MC could look like me and I would not give and fuck... and I make the ManBearPig look sexy, I am so ferally, bestially, ugly I make eyes bleed.. even my own... but would not care, if the adult scenes were hot and female character models sexy.
