I know about the off limits fetish list for what the dev doesn't want,but I'm wondering if there'll ever be hard or soft BDSM elements. It's not in the off limits category,but it's not mentioned either. I think that given the tone the game is going for,having a kink that's literally based around trust and consent could work well for the story and characters.I also just like it. And if not for this game,would it be something you would consider adding in future projects?
It is very complicated because of the past of all the girls. But the door in the management room hides something that will be discovered one day... Yuna will always be out of any kind of thing that happens in there.
In L'sA, I'm going to add in the future the "fun house" where there will be almost no rules and several things related to non-vanilla things will be included except for futa/trap and everything having a penis (it's a Yuri game).
LA will always follow a vanilla line with soft femdom and some soft maledom.
L'sA is very focused on love and romance + naughty stuff and will go out of line a bit as it will include something a bit less soft in terms of femdom and the "fun house" will have fewer limits although no one will see anything they don't want to see and I won't include things I don't feel comfortable working with (futa/trap/femboi, rape... anything that is non-consensual and ntr, of course).
I get that maybe at first the girls wouldn't be comfortable with hard or soft BDSM,but you could just make it so you have reach a really high level in specific girls stats(min this case probably trust)before they're willing to try it. IMO,just because if BDSM might be in the game,doesn't necessarily mean that the romantic feeling has to go away,in fact it could enhance it because despite the fact the girls have been through shit, the fact that they trust the MC enough to let him do it is romantic in itself. Could be shown as a significant step in overcoming their past and not letting it rule them. But I understand why you might not want to go hard on that because all the harem girls are traumatized and that can get dicey story-wise when you're adding in something like BDSM.
Like I said, proper BDSM no matter how hard or soft it is as a concept is based around love,trust,consent. That's why subs having limits and safe words is one the core driving factors. And honestly, given your own tastes,you'd probably be able to actually portray BDSM unlike a lot of mainstream shit cough*Fifty Shades of grey*cough.
But if you don't want to do it for LA,then that's fine, but it's a bit disappointing as good BDSM portrayals are already hard to come by in other media, but it's especially true in the AVN space. And in LA's story it could've fit as a somewhat core thing,instead something that's half-assed just for obligation like other AVN.I do still like game though,don't get me wrong.My taste lean less towards vanilla,but it's nice once in a while to play something vanilla.
So it won't be in LA,but is that sort of thing is off the table for future projects?
I don't think you understood my initial message although I appreciate all your text.
I don't talk about the future of LA in that respect because I don't know how I will introduce it.
In L'sA you are going to see all kinds of things including BDSM.
In LA probably too but I can't assure you 100% because I don't know how each girl's individual story will develop.
Enya, without going any further, is the most dominant of all the girls, even more than Mara. Speaking of Mara, not even 25% of her alpha side has been seen.
I can't tell you things I can't be 100% sure of but I know I have a good premise for anything I want related to all BDSM stuff especially with feet/pee fetishes being very present (my favorite fetishes).
So as I say, I can't tell you for sure what will happen but at the moment I can assure you that it's on my list of possible things to add but not 100% guaranteed.
Why? First of all, because I have never worked with it, once I do I will know if I want to continue with it or not.
Secondly, most of my audience is looking for vanilla content, so adding things outside vanilla is more complicated than it seems from my side. I can't please everyone and I don't intend to.
I doubt there will be hardcore stuff in LA (from the MC to the girls) and in any project but I don't rule out other things.
Are you looking forward to seeing Yuna tied up? I don't think it's going to happen even though already in this new version we find out a bit that Yuna is submissive.
Seeing the others tied up and being spanked? Well, who knows, right now I'm prioritizing other things (main plot) while thinking about the development of all the girls.
I'm currently focusing on L'sA to bring a demo soon but all this is something I already have in mind to sit down and see what kind of approaches I can do and how to introduce something non-vanilla so to speak.
Oh yeah, also don't expect to be able to put a dog necklace on a girl and treat her like a pet, it's out of my limits despite having the pee in the middle.
Again, I appreciate your time and your words.
PS: All very vanilla but it will be in terms of male > fem domination because femdom is very present and to me, it doesn't seem like vanilla content as such...
Alright. I do like the game, and I wouldn't want BDSM stuff for characters where it isn't their kink or doesn't make sense for them to try. I would still want it make sense for the story. Maybe I'll find something on itch.io that has more of my less vanilla tastes. I doubt it though because like I said, anything that isn't soft BDSM is pretty much rare. But hey, maybe I'll get lucky. Itch.io is becoming more popular,more AVN novels are being made every day. Good luck with the project!.
