Hi, I'm really loving this so far (especially Irus!), but is there any chance you could add flirt options for an MC who is more stoic? My male MC is stoic/acerbic and intro but confident and 'unwillingly' attracted to the Ro/s, but the existing flirting options always feel really out of character for him - the shy/intro flirt (he's not shy), or the flirtatious/brazen flirt (he's not flirtatious) - when often the more 'denying how I feel' or 'deliberately being an unpleasant ass because I really hate how I'm unexpectedly feeling right now' option which would suit him better is not a flirt and gives friendship/normal responses. I realise this may be asking a lot, but is there a chance an additional 'flirt' option could be added to accommodate a character who shows their interested in a less obvious way (like, instead of blushing they get annoyed or snippy), with the RO/s catching on and teasing it out of the MC in their own way?
Also, how tall is the prince? because there is a moment where it mentions him tipping my MC's chin up to look in his eyes (when I tried a shy flirt) and I have my MC's height set to 'very tall'.
Thank you so much for playing 😊 I do realise that the flirt options are lacking in the variations of choices - I just went with shy/flirty choices because they were the easiest to start off with and write. I do hope to add more variations to the flirting choices when the first draft of the game is completed, since I also know others want a friendly flirt option as well 🙂 this is simply because of coding and writing the different variations would take up a bit more time and I hope to finish the first draft before going back to polish up and add in variation scenes.
Do keep in mind though that you don't need to flirt with the ROs to gain romance points. You will be given clear choices of who you like (like at the end of chapter 2) and that, combined with your friendship stat will determine the outcome of pursuing a romance 🙂
Irus in game height is the tall option, so even though he and MC might both be tall, Irus will still be slightly taller than them by a few centimetres at most 😊
Thanks for replying! I'm really glad to hear you're considering offering some more flirt options for MC's with different dispositions.
I felt my MC was quite naturally guided into the stoic & confident personality, chiefly because of the whole growing up alienated by everyone in the village and never really 'clicking' with his dad (both of them having personalities that are not the easiest to get along with), but having a strong survival instinct and having no one else to really lean on, trusted in himself (and yeah, he's lonely af, but he buries that deep deep down under many layers of denial). It ended up fostering an MC who knew what they wanted (at least goal-wise) but was really not used to dealing with being interested in someone romantically, and being completely out of his depth if/when someone actually showed an interest in him, so naturally diverted to what he was comfortable with: acting like a stoic/cold b*stard. The sort of guy who seems like he'd rather be anywhere else but beside the RO, and yet the next minute would risk his life for them (cos deep down he's just relieved he's not alone, and that the RO hasn't already left his sorry ass, but he's kind of socially stunted and way too afraid of being vulnerable and hurt to admit how he feels). ANYWAY...
As you can probably tell, I got quite invested in this story thus far, hence why I thought I'd ask if a 'stoic/unflirty' flirt could be added. On that topic, I also really love me some sexual tension ramping up between characters, particularly when one (or both) are unwilling to admit how they feel/what they want. That's always fun to read!
Since posting my last message I also tried out Oren and the Queen, and they both seem really interesting so far, too. The sparring session with Oren was great! I'm looking forward to finding out more about both of them and pursuing them in parallel playthroughs in future. :)
Good luck with the game going forward!
I really want players to be able to play a character they feel most comfortable with 😊 Thank you for letting me know more about your MC, because it really helps when coming up with choices in game.
Once chapter 3 is completed and updated, I will be revising the first 3 chapters again and hopefully will add in the flirt options for a more stoic MC 🙂 Thank you again for being so detailed with your feedback 🌼💖
Thank you for playing and being so supportive! I really appreciate it 😊
