discussion Should incest games have more look-alike characters in the same family?

[DeusX]

If you're going for realism, then yeah it makes more sense

 

[FancyPrince]

They dont have to EXACTLY lookalike but some similarities would be nice tho

 

[Umutumtrak]

Depends but I dont prefer to see same chactrer face as mother and daughter similarities would be nice ..

 

[Som90]

I'm a sucker for realism in my stories. I would love for them to have traits that are similar to one another; but as someone who had a lot of siblings, I'll tell you right now that siblings don't look super similar all the time. I think it should be subtle, eyes, skin tone obviously, but a few differences in hair (or they can dye their hair) and different facial features are fine. Obviously body types can vary wildly.
But I definitely prefer when you can look at one and say "ya, ya I can see it" especially if you add an LI that's either not a family member, or is more distantly related and it's obvious there's a difference between that character and the other LIs.

 

[Jambagi]

They definitely should yeah, even if it's not going for the whole twin thing. I know some families can have a blonde and a brown haired sibling but, let's be real, that aint what people are looking for.

 

[AbbaDoo]

They should look vaguely similar-ish. On the other hand, I know real life families where brothers and sisters do not really resemble each other - one takes after the dad and the other takes after the mom.

 

[Python3]

Well, siblings in real life do not look very much alike most of the times. It's more the case that when they do, people notice and mention it as something funny and curious.

Unless they are radically different phenotypes, it's fine with me.

I find it more to be the case that sons look quite like their fathers, and daughters look like their moms, than that siblings look alike.

 

[kodex]

Absolutely. It's a part of the kink, imho. If there is no likeness, it goes straight into the "step-family" category, which is meah to begin with (there is no taboo).

 

[solcrow]

It would make sense, but variety is fun.

Varity is definitely the flavor of life.

 

[Vulky]

The problem is that when they're similar they can get confused, so some variance I suppose has become expected.

 

[Chrissy]

Siblings often do not really look similar at all. More often they resemble a parent or grandparent more than each other.
With more variety the probability of one or more of the characters meeting my personal taste increases, so I prefer them to be different.

 

[Trickster]

I don’t usually pay much attention to whether they look alike or not, but if asked, I prefer them to look similar if they’re from the same family

 

[TH1987]

It would be hot if it did

 

[dank04]

I like some variety, but I like identical twins even better

 

[Deleted member 112555]

Look alike.
No steph family cope out.

 

[User_136321]

Yeah, games like Radiant are a bit weird. All three sisters have radically different hair colors. I suppose they could dye their hair, but I doubt that was the intended reason.

 

[notabadone]

I prefer having variety over realism. But I guess it depends on the style of game, and what its aiming for

 

[MajinGuu]

Unless they look radically different, I don't think it matters too much

 

[LewisCarroll]

I'm developing a game and that's one of my main issues. I try to add qualities into each character within the same blood-line, but dealing with some of the models is difficult. Something I didn't know was how assets can break when applied or altered by other setting, meshes and shaders. It's a real pain in the butt to develop characters that can be used in all environments. It's a game of compromises.

 

[JadedSkywalker]

Exact lookalike like a clone no. Twincest maybe. Cute Redhead Girls sounds nice to me. Though Blondes are nice, and brunettes.
