Hi, I totally understand and agree that it would be lovely to have game translations, but these things work on a volunteer basis and would require someone offering to translate the work so this can happen! Should someone offer, I will see what I can do to try and bring this to life in Spanish too :)
ps im totally not against people expressing polite wishes for translations, mc's etc, as long as they do so with no expectation or entitlement, and your message was perfectly sweet and polite, so thank you for that!! <3
It is IRL with perfume, but gosh do I love that perfume!
I guess it's not for everyone, and I totally understand, but to me, the added layer of chemical attraction, permanent bonds, and fated mates is fun to explore :)
That being said I love what everyone else is doing with wlw/mlm omegaversa as well as role reversal in het couples, yipee that everyone gets their cake!!
please everyone i'm begging lets all hold hands
> the game originally didn't have a he/him pronoun option bcs it was made for a jam and i ultimately make my games for me (the most cis passing non binary person afab on earth)
> i am not opposed to adding he/him and they/them pronouns as i have done in many other games i've made before, but it is extra workload for me both in writing and implementation. again, it was made in a jam, and im disabled and i get overwhelmed easily. also keep in mind omegaverse adds extra complexity to the gender/sex implementation. i mean, taliesin wants to get you pregnant either way. i think in earlier iterations of development there was also going to be a toggleable female sprite which is also part of why things worked out the way they did.
> i think it is worth considering when making suggestions and requests on free indie games that you are requesting the labour of a stranger, or maybe even multiple and to value that appropriately <3 (not saying you don't, just mentioning!) often times, scope was already cut to respect peoples time, effort, and artistic boundaries. we would all love to make fully customisable mc's but its not always possible.
> i dont think adding a pronoun option takes away from the player experience for anyone? in my bumble opinion, but that's just me. it does fundamentally change the genre label of this game, but that's by the by. i do think the female/she/her experience in my games will probably always be the most enriching just because i was raised this way and unfortunately a lot of my tastes were shaped by heteronormativity and romance novels.
> i am all for gay men having more games catered for them, especially ones that do not feel fetishistic or exclusionary. may i suggest to anyone reading to check out the other omegaverse jam entries to see if anything there takes their fancy! There's BL, WL, trans characters!
A/B/O Speed dating is BL and tonnes of fun which I personally recommend.
anyway peace and love and please remember were all just people on the other end of these silly little pixels <3
I can totally understand your concern as this has been mentioned before.
The backgrounds are not AI, they are photographs edited in Photoshop to look more "painterly" and the process does merge a lot of detail together. I can provide source images if you would like me to go find them on my PC!
No need to delete your comment, as I hope this is helpful to others.
I have never used AI in my projects and never will. Usually, I am incredibly blessed to work with talented artists from all disciplines, or have the funds to purchase prepaid assets, but for this project I couldn't find the backgrounds I needed in this manner so I had to rely on my own "skills", lol!
AAAH tysm!! <3
It's a maybe to some side stories and spin-offs for sure! I'm up for it if the team are too and we can find a jam it'd work for :)
As for the fade to black, I'm uploading the rest of the first scene to my patreon this month, but I know this isn't accessible for everyone. If we do come back for more side stories and such, I will make sure there's a full sex scene or two in there for everyone.
It's a little harder to get eyes on projects with nsfw but, i need to feed y'all for sure <3
I think as a dev, and I know others feel the same, it can just feel like we're being ragged on from all angles sometimes. The initial comment felt a bit snippy to me, though of course that could just be my interpretation of it and my aforementioned defensiveness!
The OP is familiar with my work, and I suppose in my initial response I assumed that meant they understood that my game pages tend to be pretty representative of the content. If there is a gender chooseable MC, that is mentioned on the page and the game is tagged with a wider range of genres. BUT you know what they say about assumptions, lol. My mistake, truly :)
I understand that there is some people who use the otome tag erroneously, but I also think there are a (not insignificant) group of us that just generally view the tag differently.
My games are made for a primarly female/woman/feminine audience, with male LIs, and I do not think a pronoun option changes that they are spiritually and functionally otome, and I think it's the same for some other devs who use the otome tag with pronoun/gender options. Until amare is a popularised term, it's also just untenable for many of us to avoid the otome tag when, as I said, the games are functionally otome.
Just my two pennies, not trying to debate that this game being tagged otome + female protagonist is the right move :)
