-So for this poll I have a question for you all. Do you want to see named characters? I'm in the process of writing a script for the voice actors and I realized that if I don't have names for the characters then how will they be introduced on screen. 

This creates an issue for me because I like that fact that you all can now name the character on screen whoever you want when they don't have names. 

 For Instance this is Jill.... or is it Karen or Alice?

Let me know what you think about naming characters in the poll.

You could always auction off naming rights to patreons or somesuch?

if there is a story i am 100% for naming characters if not then no

In the context of your stories, names in general, including ones for the various creatures, hasn't really mattered. However, that doesn't mean that named characters aren't a positive thing for the purpose of story. I voted no preference, because it really depends on the style of story you want to tell. If it is just a short story, like the various alien invasion type ones you've done, names aren't particularly relevant, unless you want a more detailed rationale/build up to said sex event. So, names for the NoG 2 worked bc it kept it clear who was who. Named characters can also be impactful if you're making a specific model for said character (name) and plan to reuse for future content (even if it is a diff story line).

I mean, why the hell not? Wouldn't hurt, and would enrichen your story, and allow you to re-use the "named characters" for parody scenes or something. /shrug It's all about the creativity.

Voted no pref. Overall I think sometimes its good to have names, and sometimes its exciting to have an unlucky unknown hot girl being raped and disappearing from society. Depends on each story/setup but keeping a balance on both is the best/safe bet imo.

On stand alone stories where there is no interaction, a name is not the necessary ... like you said, it adds to the viewers imagination. I can see it on your longer story arcs, though, especially with character interactions. Really ... do the monsters care about the woman's name? The girl in the above pic; I think she's tired of being quarantined!

Just imagine using a co-worker's name who you wanna smash on one of your girl characters. That's some dark shit right there, LMAO...

Naming characters probably makes it easier to reference or request something you've done. For example, I like ****** from the Night of Ghouls II vid. I'd like to see more of her. And then you'd ask, "Which one?" And I'd say, "You know, the one with the hair. And the penis." :-D

I have a question unrelated to this post (I stand with names on the topic by the way). I was actually curious, have you ever considered using any of your main characters from previous stories in other stories? They would be almost like actresses in a movie. You have your story and you just through them into it. You must have a decent pool of female characters that you can use. I would imagine it would save you some time on creating new characters. Also it would be fun to vote on who would "star" in your latest video. This was something I thought about and wondered what your take on it is. Also love your new character designs.

I prefer named characters, only because I didn't commission/draw them myself. If they were mine to do as I please, I'd name them, too. But, since they're not, any name you come up with is perfectly fine. And leaving it blank so I can 'name' them myself just feels off.
