Is there a list of ROs and do we get to pick out own gender?

[Lucid]

You can be any gender and identify as any gender. You are who you want to be.

There are 7 ROs:
Gary/Gertie
Mel/Melanie
Jasper/Jasmine
Meadan/Meadow
Revin/Raven
Adam/Ada
Destin/Destiny

All of the romances are completely unique from each other and each person is very different. They each have their own plot arc and resolution.

I have a few people requesting Beta Testing, but I’m making some more big changes, so I’ll send out those invites later today. Around 8 hours from now, I think.

A save system would rly help me test…but love it so far! sometimes the stats don’t reset after I hit restart btw

[Lucid]

Quick poll for those who have beta tested this game. I’ve recently added the choice where you can now declare your own gender…

• I feel more comfortable now. I like the option of declaring my gender.
• I liked it before. There was no need to declare my gender.
• What? I didn’t even notice that I didn’t declare my gender before.

[Centralrouge]

Lol I totally didn’t realize I hadn’t declared my gender and I’m OK with that this is just my opinion but I liked not declaring my gender again this is just my opinion

[achtungnight]

I noticed but said nothing since I’ve also noticed a trend to not declare gender in CofG titles recently. I like declaring it personally- more immersive if you want to imagine a character of a certain gender. Just my opinion of course.

[hapamama93]

Seconded, I like the option just like picking an ROs gender

[Ramidel]

Erm…while I liked choosing gender, the way you did it conflates sex and gender, as well as implying a certain degree of possibly-excessive modesty in the character.

I changed my mind on reflection. Better to take this out again.

[Lucid]

It doesn’t imply the identification of gender, and since you can choose to not say what those body parts are, it further removes any worry over that becoming a problem.

I agree that it assumes modesty though, but I thought that it was worth it since it reinforces the absurdity of the situation and makes it more tactile.

Crap, I really liked it. You think it’s bad? If so, I could find a new way to ask, but I thought it was a fun, inclusive, and tasteful way to do so.

[achtungnight]

I think it’s fine. Hard to maintain boldness in a strange new world.

[hapamama93]

I still rly support it, I think it’d be cool if we could pick how we look or dress as well. It’s rly important to me to be able to mold my character. I Feel Like Character Description adds fun details that ultimately make a great strategy game immersive

[Carson_Lindsey]

can i test please…

[Charles_Lai]

Sign me up for it if there’s still a chance, thanks

[JVM]

I’m free to beta test if you need more testers

[Centralrouge]

Guys don’t ask in this thread send @Lucid a email to the address in the first post

[Lucid]

My inbox is empty. We’re half a month to the end. If anyone has feedback sitting in a document, send it now! New testers, don’t hold on to anything for more than a day.

I think it’s starting to look polished. Perhaps we’re getting close to the end?

[Lucid]

Now that the Beta Testing is coming to an end, I have some questions! Please only do this poll if you helped to Beta Test this game. Ready?

What do you think about the NPC genders?

• I enjoyed choosing the genders of the characters in order to set up the story I wanted to read.

• I would prefer that all of the characters come with fixed genders.

How do you feel about the festival mini games?

• I liked playing the little games.
• I always threw away my tickets. I didn’t like the mini games.

How difficult is the festival? I want the Taste to be pretty easy, the Bottle to be difficult, and the Cask to be very challenging.

• The Taste is too easy to get.
• The Taste is just right to get.
• The Taste is too difficult to get.
• I didn’t play the games.

I made a great effort to follow the aesthetics of CoG and their guidelines which means that this game doesn’t look like my others.

• You did good. I think CoG will be happy with it.
• You didn’t quite do it. This still doesn’t follow CoGs guidelines.
• Sorry, I haven’t played your other games.
• Sorry, I don’t know what CoGs guidelines are.

What do you think of this new style?

• I like this style better!
• I miss your other style, even though it doesn’t follow CoGs guidelines.
• Sorry, I haven’t played your other games.

How difficult is the game itself? Be sure to answer according to a recent playthru since the balance was greatly adjusted from when the beta test began.

• I was able to reach my desired endings.
• It was too hard and I couldn’t reach the endings I wanted.

Is the game ready to be submitted?

• Yes, send it in!
• No, I’m still finding errors.

What do you think my chances are with regards to the contest?

• You have a good chance of placing in the Top Three.
• Sorry, but I don’t think you’re going to win.
