MC Location Preferences (Patreon)

Just a quick poll about the MC because I'm trying to get a bit of feedback. 

Where do you guys prefer to see the MC? On the main area where all the other sprites appear (so she'd appear right next to all the other characters, not in the corner.

Down in the left corner by herself and separate from the others?

Sometimes trying to code the main character down in the corner means there are special things you have to code, or limitations to what you can do. It also typically means seeing less of the sprite. But it does mean the that player character is set apart from others in a way that might it easier for players to play as if they're viewing the story from her eyes rather than watching a story they aren't a part of.

Putting her up with all the others, means two things - one, you have to be more careful with group scenes because the MC takes up a normal sprite position. She's less distinctive because she doesn't get a special spot. At the same time, you can see more of the sprite, and there aren't any special considerations or limitations. The MC sprite is treated the same as all the others. (This is especially nice in Renpy, where the "side image" is sometimes annoying to deal with).

I'm just curious how much placement of the player character even matters to people!
