Agreed… I’m a sucker for the unfailingly loyal types (especially if funny scenarios might occur due to their loyalty, which seems possible in this XD )

:? I never heard if that term… (or is it a mistyping of skoliosexual? I thought by now ceterosexual is the preferred term for attraction towards nb people)
eh…it depends how it gets presented (because people are different especially in such a diverse group like the people falling under the nb umbrella), but big number of people are uncomfortable, yeah, so if it’s not used at all I would prefer the game to ask instead for presentation over agab…
(this game technically could have plot reasons to ask for it, but if you go with that the main struggle would probably have to be about MC’s gender, not missmatching orientation, together with the more humorous tone I think it’s fine to let this slide, realism be damned. Let people have fun basically)

raptor screeching I apologize, I’ve never heard of the term until now, and skoliosexual was what I found. I shall update it ASAP. Thank you for correcting me.
I’ll have to think about everything. The game was a lot simpler when it was only gay and lesbian, but I’m not going back to that. I’ll do my best to find a good solution for everyone.

It’s fine, terminology is changing that fast, it’s understandable difficult to keep up with it at times.

Aw, I feel like you misinterpreted what I was trying to say. Ideally, allowing a player to customize their characters traits will involve giving them the widest possible selection to choose from, to accommodate to as many potential players as possible. I can understand it when some games that offer limited customization options - simply because they are not able to have a broader selection - still claim to allow players to customize their character in that way, but this is a somewhat different situation. This is a case were one potential option has been removed entirely due to it being incompatible with the story you want to tell. Again, that’s not a bad thing, I lend my full support to pretty much any method an author may use to improve their story, but it just doesn’t quite seem like the same thing as allowing full customization. Let’s say, hypothetically, that there was a game about playing as a member of medieval European royalty, and that game advertised allowing the player to customize their character’s race. But when you get into the game, all the options are of European descent. Saxons, Romans, things along those lines. Certainly, these are separate and unique races, and lumping them all into the same category is in a way insulting to their cultural differences, but they contain key similarities. And, more importantly, they don’t even come close to representing the entire spectrum of races. Like in your case, the restriction is justified by the story that the author is trying to tell, but all the same it doesn’t seem right to describe it as letting the player pick what they want to be.

Okay. You have stated several times what your problem is. I don’t agree with your opinion, so I won’t be changing it. Thank you for bringing forth your opinion, but it has been heard, and at this point you’re no longer bringing anything new to the conversation. Please change the subject. Thank you.

Very well. Can you at humor me with one final request? Can you at least change the thing in the faq? Something along the lines of, “Can you really describe the game as allowing the player to choose their orientation when they can’t be attracted to the opposite sex?” That way it’s at least a question rather than a statement, and doesn’t seem nearly as dickish.
It has been changed. Thank you for your input.
I am lost in this are you gay or straight
Gay. The main character is very gay. They’re in an arranged marriage made under the assumption that they’re straight.
Thanks for the quick reply my good man i guess ill take a pass on the game.
Alright everybody! In a few hours I will be departing on my first ever trip via plane. I will be headed to Puerto Rico and I will be there until June 5th.
I’ve made progress on the game, character creation is almost finished. After that I will be adding more conversation with Harper, and then I’ll probably release a demo. If I think it’s long enough. I’ve never been on a plane but if I can work on the game while I’m on the plane, then I’ll probably do that. Provided I’m not panicking. Or crashing into the ocean. Whichever!
Thanks for the patience everybody!
On another note, I was going through one of my old notebooks and found a joke game i was working on and found it quite amusing.
"It’s your best friend Sam’s first cookout. BYOB. The menu includes all the classics, rat steak, roach on a stick and the ever so popular blood cake. It’s just too bad that you’re busy with work. And no, not your job as a hairdresser. The other job, as a pit fighter. Sam insists you come, and not only that, they insist you bring a date. The only problem is that due to your reputation as a hair dresser, no one wants to date you.
Hire a mercenary to pretend to be your date, buy a hell beast instead of groceries, and save your friend…s cake, from the clutches of an ancient monster. Can you survive on the surface?"
Sounds kinda familiar, right? Lol.

Mmm, blooood caaake…
I’ve had blood cake. 
I found it… about as nice as it sounds… 
This sentence kind of confuses me, honestly. Does it mean that I could play as a straight person if I wanted to? If so, then it completely contradicts this sentence:
So, if you get the chance, can you please clarify?
This question has basically already been answered in the FAQ.

Wow ok, I really need to start reading the FAQs when I see them 
.
So now I’ve got a new question to ask. Please don’t hate me for asking, but what are skiliosexual, androsexual and gynesexual? Sorry if my questions are offensive.
Androsexual, attracted to masculinity. Gynesexual, femininity. And skoliosexual is out dated. I haven’t corrected it yet. What I meant is ceterosexual, which is an attraction to nonbinary people.

Ok, thanks for answering my questions and I hope you enjoy your trip to Puerto Rico! It’s a beautiful place to visit… not sure if it still is, though, since the hurricane hit. The last time I spoke with my mom about she told me it was starting to look like Puerto Rico again. Just watch out for the mosquitoes, there’s a lot of them there!
Hurricane season starts in June O_O hopefully there won’t be anything like that hurricane. (Not trying to scare you or anything, it’s unlikely something like that will happen again in the next few decades)
