I prefer the business model where the consumer buys a game and owns it outright. Unfortunately, it's more profitable to charge for different game elements separately.

I haven't decided what to do yet. It's too early for that. I'm not a business so I'm reliant on word of mouth and good reviews. I need to balance keeping my customers happy with the workload and income. This is a side project for me, but I'd really like to take it full time.

For the lwed part I was kinda in between option 1 and 2 to be honest. Just saying.

I feel like I need to include some sort of lewdness because it'll get attention. I want normies to freak out and post YouTube videos of the game while they hyper-fixate on a character's bouncing package or giant boobs. I also want to pander to furries because I think that's my route to success. These things are all about differentiating what I'm making to help it stand out in a very saturated gaming market.

Yeah it will help it stand out. Good idea.

I say make the lewd option like an on/off switch. turn lewd on for covered, then turn lewd off for just full on nudity.

I've thought about having an "adult mode" toggle or some sort of "sex appeal" slider. I certainly wouldn't mind a sexually explicit game! We already have tons of violence in games, but strangely very little on the sex appeal side.

I could have something like a clothes-ripping thing as your character takes more and more damage. That's a good way to get away from flashing and redness that's a staple in Smash Bros. This is the direction I'm leaning towards taking.

did this last night in a fit of insomnia but wanted to add that my favorite f2p model is the rare "everything is free except cosmetics" (DotA2 model). good luck!

Agreed. I value the level playing field. If it affects gameplay then you need to have access to it. That holds that all characters must be available. Cosmetics would have to be serious themes or design changes to the core characters to sell. I think doing F2P right may take more resources than I can have available at launch.

yeah doing f2p well is always the challenge right? It's so easy to do that gatcha-style (collectable) random paid drops but that sucks. Dota2 only works (imo) due to Valve both having people on staff to just make items and also letting the community submit items for the store. I think Path of the Exile also does this sort of thing. Definitely tough to do!

Took the survey! I think the lewd option should be old-school, make the models covered (but showing off the goods in tight clothes) by default, but the nude option is unlocked with a code. <3

I could do that through an "adult mode" toggle system. It's definitely possible! I have to see how much work it is to handle models with different sexualization parameters. It might be simple to change dong and breast size without affecting the skeleton; then share all existing animations. It might be more complicated than that. Dunno! Still investigating this one.

If it's possible, I'd love a clothes bursting little cutscene when you "unlock" the nude option. With jiggling. >:3 Rrrwwarff~

I soooooooo want to do things like moves that cause inflation or hyper or some sort of growth. Might include some macro/micro ones too since I know people like that (myself especially). Regardless, I think size play would be a fun and distinctive gameplay element. Just need to figure out how to actually implement that (it's hard), and what is the right balance.

I wonder, will there be fat characters? :3

Yes there will!

Well now you have my attention! 👀

Well this is interesting. Questionnaire completed.

I dunno about it being too lewd, it might make the view of furries even worse in society, if it hits on something like Steam. I mean, it's really common to see people wish us dead nowadays.
