Thank you for the reply,
I understand that you are trying to keep it vanilla now, and I can agree that since you are not into a lot of things you shouldnt be forced into it. After all, consent is not just part of the game but also reality.
It was just a possibility after all, since the game leans towards it.
If you dont want it or feel like you couldnt do it, then dont. It is your game, it is your choice, and no one can and never should be able to force you. However I do think that adding them talking about kinky stuff may add to the narrative. Something like "oh and I looked up that, thought I like it." and then it goes a bit back and forth hesitantly, before throwing the idea out alltogether because of the cat and mouse play you present.
Lastly, I do want to ask if this is the only game or narrative we can see Zack and Braden in. Meaning, will there be a second game where the hot stuff happens like your friends at Apollo Studios have done with New Hope, where there is this paid christmas special where the MCs get into things. Even if just vanilla. And since it is non-canon from what I understand it doesnt interfere with the narrative itself.
Also, if you feel like you want to please kink audiences but dont want to get into it yourself because, for instance, you are afraid of it, maybe you could get someone else to write the story or make the scene? I dont know how viable this is for you, but its an option if you, lets say, "want to explore other horizons" with scenes.
But all in all, I once again thank you for this amazing gem of a game. It will forever have a special place in my heart, with or without roped up Zack (imagine laughing emoji)
And with that, let yourself never be pulled in by what people want and stay true to what you do, like you have done so far!
