There's no need to force yourself to check it out. I understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea ^^ Thank you so much for your input. It helps me to understand what everyone prefers!
I did play it, it was short enough.
Naturally the story is charming even if both characters are women. I like their personalities and backstories even if it's not my preferred coupling. I can imagine it being difficult to write those backstories for males.
But yeah, I'm cool with whatever you make, even if I pass based on the subject matter sometimes. It would certainly expand your fanbase if you do more than just BL. Nobody can fault you for that, especially if you simply want to make those games.
(Because spoilers, I put this at the bottom)
The twist I saw from a mile away, but there were many hints. I feel more sorry for Cynthia's father honestly, because she can never take back what she said and he has to live with the guilt of pushing his daughter away and thinking she left while hating him. Meanwhile, since she still regrets her last words, she and Lynette can stay together. Unless her disappearing at the end was meat to symbolize her moving on.
Well, I mean... the signs were all there. Being able to touch ghosts was a big one, then not being tired or thirsty/hungry after staying up all night? Yeah...
I totally getcha. I love that you make so many BL games. Forgive my Desires is still my favorite, with Mixed Feelings being a close second.
Honestly your games let me live out my gay little fantasies, and have helped cement my 'types'. I also love that you don't shy away from polyamory, or imperfections. Your games normally just feel so realistic and not like fairytales.
I always feel like there aren't enough gay games with actual humans (the majority on itch are furry... I don't dislike them, but I gotta be in the mood). And the ones that do focus on humans are almost always focused more on sex than the relationship aspect. I prefer when sex is a secondary or even tertiary motivation for people. Plus, making the characters likeable and relatable... I swear most MCs are just dull nobodies that are walking sex dolls for everyone else in the game. Usually the models/art used are even generic.
Honestly, I kinda feel the same. I'm glad that asexuality is becoming more common and accepted because I also want stories to focus on sex less. There was this great ebook that I bought and I loved the first half because it was about the two main characters building a meaningful connection turning from enemies to lovers. Then the other half of the book is just sex over and over again and it hurts my soul because the story was amazing before they kept shoving sex scenes in my face.
I certainly don't mind sex scenes, but I prefer when it's done after a connection between characters has been firmly established. I'm demisexual, though, so that could just be my own sexuality talking lol. I can take it or leave it, even irl. Sex is extremely low in importance to me.
It just bugs me that so many people focus on the physical part of a relationship. Sex isn't everything, and relationships built on such a thing fail like 99% of the time.
Probably why your games are such a breath of fresh air. If there's any sort of hint of such a thing, it's just when sharing your bed with Percy or Gavin in Prince or Villain, and even then it's up to the player to fill in the blanks if they want.
