But, isnt this what MANkind have looked forward to, since he first gazed up into the midnight sky? to penetrate hot alien babes?

Bah, its like you guys haven't even put hours into contemplating erotic game design. What's wrong with you? Are you some sort of degenerates?

There are two reasons for why the protag is the way he is. One was stated by the developers, the other I can infer based on my uh friend's thorough experience with the genre.

According to the devs, introducing facial features exponentially increases the amount of work required to produce an animation. If the choice is between being able to see your dude's face and having more animated sex scenes in the game, I suspect that the majority of people will go for the latter every time.

Based on the pre-release voice reels and character bios we can see that the protagonist does indeed have a personality and a backstory that connects him to other characters (he also has a very particular accent and we all know what that means.) He also seems to be a pretty generic and humorous character. In my...informed opinion, this type of character suits the game for the same reason why the male part of black-tie dress code is, well, black - it allows the ladies to stand out. But moreover, the more developed the protagonist of an eroge game is, the narrower its target demographic will be. If the protagonist was an assertive douchebag ala Rance, then that would scare off people looking for femdom. If the character was a submissive pushover, that would frustrate people looking for maledom, and so on (not that you can't subvert this dynamic by having a dominant person in a submissive position or a submissive person in a dominant position ((see: Sanguine Rose)) but again this would make for a rather particular story that won't appeal to as many people.) So if Studio FOW is trying to hit as many people as possible with their first game, they probably want to go for a relatively generic protagonist.

I do understand the concerns that gay and bisexual Codexers such as jf8350143 have brought to this discussion and for them I suggest only that they investigate this thread for they may find it to be of great interest.

Then why can't you be a girl to satisfy those customers looking for a steamy lesbian adventure :rpgcodex:

Obviously that would be even more expensive and while yuri connoisseurs are many the MF lovers need their DICC.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I want the market to be flooded with porn games catering to all kinds of kinks, even those I don't share. Non-consensual foot-fetishism with the backdrop of political intrigue? Sure. Mind control yuri-powered prolapseporn? Why not. I'm just explaining why it is understandable, to me at least, why this Studio's mainstream offering is going with a generic masked protag.

They did say that there are going to be lesbian scenes, so there is that.

Goddamn why do you have to mention that specific example, now I want that game to exist. But there are barely any decent foot fetish games as is :negative:
It is shame that the codex can't go for the 750 tier,a nazi roleplay with some foot play would have been a prestigious thing.

do tell JarlFrank, do tell

Lilith's Throne has some minor foot fetish content... but only footjobs for now, nothing for girl-on-girl. I'm pretty sure it's going to be added during the course of development though.

It's also the only erotic RPG where the erotica part is also an RPG. I have no clue why other games of that type don't do this. Usually you get into combat, defeat the enemy, then get to have sex with the defeated enemy (or the defeated enemy with you), and the sex is just an animation or a text description of what your character does, with zero interactivity.

Here, you actually get to play out turn-based sex with your and your enemy's fetishes determining how quickly your orgasms build up :salute:

Merida, again
glad they're working on futa but what about NTR
Whilst walking past the Laboratory, the player can hear sexually suggestive moans coming from within as a bipedal alien stud called Bulgetto pleasures your Chief Science Officer. There is nothing you can do about this, so don't even try.

Shit man, you can't even join? Shit game then.

1 million for a porn game.....why there is nobody screaming decline?

Cause its fucking amusing to see a retarded porn game developed by some smelly disgusting neckbeard subhumans(i.e. not diversity hired, actual game developers) getting tons of cash.
All the while publishers continuously streamline, monetize, politically correctify and fuck up their degenerate games in a vain struggle to feed the ever growing cancer of investor expectations.
Maybe it will be a nice 6/10 RPG/SHMUP hybrid. Maybe even 7/10.
You can also wank to it.

Don't you like to wank?
