Content

Throughout the years we have been discussing the possibility of adding Female MC option into our game, and as of recently, also a Futa MC option to play through the game with. As we stated many times, adding Female Protagonist would mean reworking the majority of in-game's content, including scenes, story, and more. 

While it's true that adding new MC option to pick from would be a fundamental task, we are also interested in attracting new audiences and offering the existing player base a new way to enjoy our game. It's not something we are planning to do in the nearest future, but nevertheless it's possible.

That being said, Female MC and Futa MC would require a drastically different approach and I would personally argue that of two, Futa MC is a more realistic options short term, since we could reuse the majority of assets, while only changing the character's appearance. With that approach, it's definitely not out of the realm of possibility for us to add Futa Protagonist as a playable character, while also keeping content intact.

This poll serves an "interest check" purpose. We are not planning to start development of neither Female, nor Futa MC right away, but it would be great to know how many of you would be curious to see this type of additions.

There is also a chance that if we ever decide to add more than one playable MC, we would create a separate Patreon page to fund our efforts at expanding our game into more directions than one, since we would most likely need an extra team of few artists just to get all of the content out without harming the production of A34 itself.

But again, it's all plans and ideas. You can vote for what you would want to see, but keep your expectations in check.

The fact that more people aren’t voting for Futa is absolutely criminal.

Good on you guys. It’s so refreshing to see a team take feedback from the community, while being upfront about the work it’ll take. So refreshing to see a team not overburden themselves with constant additions without foresight into the consequences

just a question on the mc options, making a personalizable mc is 2 much of programing? just a question

Shaitan

If you want to do a female mc, maybe just have it so they always use a strap on/double ended dildo? Might make it a lot easier

Young & Naughty

Not programming, but it would require us to update every scene with MC to be compatible with new customization options, which by itself is months of work. It's not difficult if we are talking about dialogue sprites only, but scenes would be a pain in the ass.

Young & Naughty

That's also an option, thought lots of lines and story bits would still have to be rewritten, since there's plenty of times when someone dreams about MC's dick. Also, it might feel as slightly half-assed approach.

Antare5

Interested in both, and while my vote is going towards Female MC first, I could see an argument for using futa first or the strap-on idea for slightly lower overhead at least to get some ideas out there and into the game. As with just about every idea, there's always interest! Question is what is possible with time and resources.

Shaitan

Fair but like you said, it would be a ton of work. Plus at that point, shouldn’t the male characters also be romancable? Seems a slippery slope to lots more work

Young & Naughty

Obviously, male characters would be romanceable even without the introduction of Female/Futa MC options. This year we are planning to implement Luca and Clyde routes for starters and then we'll see how it goes. We aren't afraid of work, it's more about what we should allocate our resources towards. If none of our ideas for A34 would fly, we can always just create more games, so there's that.

As a lesbian I'd really love a female MC! I imagine I am in a very very small minority of non-male players but I've gotten used to things in this genre being very male-centric and a female playable character would be incredible!!!

Namm Namm

personally if I would be developer, I think futa first and then female, is the most logical, since you already got the half done when you start with futa, and same story with female

Dahns Avaexi

Female will be difficult to implement given the... Hm mechanic of how sex scene work. Futa will be easier. What's the plan for female ? Redo all the scene ? Use strap-on ?

THE BEEKEEPER

Would love to see a female MC added at some point, because while this would definitely be a lot of work it would provide options for our lesbian players out there and also for people who just want to try something new!

THE BEEKEEPER

I completely agree. I believe that adding a female MC option to an already well liked game could bring in a lot of new support!

phoenixfire

I like the idea of a strap on as a way to reuse existing scene writing/content. Maybe that could be in addition to new scene choices for female mc (without strap on). I wonder if any characters would switch from being a bottom to a top (or vice versa) with a female mc? I don't know why, but Andre comes to mind. I'd love to see you guys explore how the difference in mc gender affects the relationships.

IvyReed

I'm pretty sure you know this already but, a "nice to have" in terms of project management would be planning a regular expected delivery (maybe once a season/3 month period) and putting that into your calendar for future updates. and if you made the dialogue sprites first (or whatever you'd call those), and put a little disclaimer at the beginning that the sex scenes were works in progress (or something to that effect). Then most of the game could be played with the new character, and all the current story lines, available from the get go. ya'll do such fantastic work that whatever you decide I'm sure it will more than satisfy!

Argos The Warmind

Thanks again to the devs who care about their users!

Dishwasher

so firstly, i really appreciate your transparency and scope management, nice to see a studio do this And i'm personally all for making this game more appealing That being said, might I suggest a similar poll to this, but looking into the interest for male-male scenes? I personally would like to see that, but I understand that it would be significant work and it might not be for everybody. I also highly value this kind of scope management, so it'd be great to see the community opinion on it, so I know if i should keep me hopes up or not

Or..... you could add luca (this is just something that i want I'm not trying to sound like an asshole but luca content would add more variety)

Young & Naughty

Thank you for your feedback on the matter! The reason why there wasn't any male-male polls or discussions is because we already have plans to introduce routes for Clyde and Luca (femboy from Aurelie's storyline), and hopefully we'll be able to do this in relatively near future.

Fuck yeah (I'm def gonna keep supporting what i can)
