Patron Only Poll(Chastity Quest): To Futa or Not to Futa
🕑 Added 2020-03-30 00:54:58 +0000 UTCTLDR: This is a long-winded explanation. If you don't want to read it all, skip to the bolded bit that says: "TLDR Version starts here."
Okay, so...I mentioned this poll a bit ago, in another post. However, I kept putting it off as I wasn't sure how to even separate the poll options properly. It needs doing, though, so I've been working over how best to word it in spare moments, and hopefully I get it across well enough.
In essence, this poll is simply to get a feel for how interested in Futanari content (such as that with Vendora MorningWood in Hope's Rest), patrons specifically, are. I know it's a common theme for the people over at TF Games, where I know some of my patrons trickled in from, and I've so far included at least small amounts of it in every game except Cosplay Cafe (which will never feature it, for reasons that mostly relate to it having a male protagonist). Now, despite its common inclusion in my games...it's honestly not something I'm personally into. I don't mind it, it just doesn't do anything for me, either. I include it in games purely for the enjoyment of others, whom I know like it.
As evidenced by the fact that Chastity Quest already has one Futanari character, obviously it's going to be in the game to at least a very minor extent. There is, in fact, also a plan for New Landing to have the chance for Kiralia to end up with temporary futa status, as well. Purely optional and easily avoidable, of course. Quite a few people like it and its easy to insert some optional content for it without bothering most people, so the game gets at least a small sprinkling of it.
*TLDR Version starts here*
HOWEVER, the amount of it to put in the game, is definitely in question. I will say, upfront, that it is never going to be a main focus of the game. For the previously mentioned reason that it doesn't really appeal much to me personally. So, if you don't like Futa content, no worries. Even if the votes go as heavy to it as possible towards it in this poll, it STILL won't be the primary focus of the game.
Having said that, here's what the three options more or less mean:
Minimal Futa Content: In this version, there will probably be only a single character in any given Hub Area (Like Hope's Rest or New Landing) that is futanari. That character might or might not be a Major character. Moreover, the number of scenes playable by any temporarily-futa Kiralia will be kept to only a handful. The vast majority of sex scene sets will not include a futa-option for Kiralia, disabling any sex interaction with many characters/jobs while/if Kiralia has a cock. This is easily done by simply having the characters involved be put off by the idea.
Medium Futa Content: Each Hub Area would have at least one Major character (like Vendora) who is futanari. And possibly some side characters, or random NPCs in job results (say, for example, that you might get a futa in a brothel-service job). When/if Kiralia has the chance to temporarily gain futa status, many of the major/minor characters will have unique scenes to account for the option.
Major Futa Content: Every Hub Area will have multiple Futanari characters. Possibly multiple major ones, and/or options for some that aren't normally futa to become so for specific scenes. Likewise, the vast majority of all major/minor scene sets will have futa alternatives. I may even make longer-term futa status possible (but avoidable) for Kiralia to gain. It will still be entirely avoidable. But, at this level, there will likely be some in almost every release...and fewer non-futa scenes per build simply because that's how logistics works.
So, what does everyone think? Feel free to comment as well as vote, if you have something to say on the topic!

This tends to be how I define it myself, from my exposure to the various adult game and hentai communities. I've found that a lot of people only passingly familiar with it, however, tend to use the words very interchangeably! Which probably means it was a good thing someone asked :-).

Generally futa is the popularized by the Japanese term for hermaphrodite which is a fully equiped female with a penis. Usually if its going to be female top with male bottom it will be referred to either a trap or shemale. If its the rare reverse where male chest with female bottom there are those that refer to them as cuntboys. But more often then not Futa is swap able with herm.

That....is an excellent question! Currently, as I have it in-game, Futanari characters are fully functional hermaphrodites, with a penis+pussy+breats but no balls. In so much as I have any preference, that's the way I prefer to see it...probably mostly because it's kinda the 'Futa Lite,' I suppose? I also felt that was probably the most commonly accepted in general, as well as the most versatile, though not perhaps the most common preference for those that are really into it? I'm not really against including the other variants for those that prefer them (not for every scene, obviously, but different versions for different characters), though it's considerably more work for me, so I might have to run a second poll to see what the overall preferred version is? It's a good point, thanks for bringing it up!

My only question is, "What do you mean by Futa?" The term gets thrown around a-lot, but means somewhat different things to different people. For instance, do you define "Futa" as 'Male on the bottom Female on top', or do you define it as, 'Basically a functional Hermaphrodite. e.g. both pussy and penis, womb with ovaries and ability for penis to shoot sperm'. I think you will find slightly different answers to your poll for each of the different definitions. In the second camp, you will even get different answers based on if you go "Futa with balls vs. Futa without balls". For the people who have these particular fetishes, there is a very big difference in the first two major catagory differences, "e.g. male with breast vs. hermaphrodite", in particular, and a lot of games that have been coming out from western authors recently seem to be using the term "Futa" almost entirely for 'males with breast', and not the second category at all. So.... Which version are we talking about here?
