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

[Dummy256]

There should be some resemblance; otherwise their family ties are difficult to believe in.

 

[Charmingone]

Well familiar trates must be evident, I think. They can't all look alike, unless they're twind or something...
Not even in real life siblings loo all the same

Question for those of you who like incest: do you prefer all the girls to look alike, y'know, since they're family and all? Or are you willing to sacrifice that bit of immersion if it means getting more LI variety?

Was going through the incest tag to find a new game to play through when I realized that a lot of the girls in those games look nothing alike, despite often being daughters, sisters, mothers, etc, so the question sort of popped into my head.

Never really paid much attention to it honestly, but I thought about using Parent Characters as Parent morphs so I can use them to make their children have some similarities.

I think it's something that sounds better in theory than it would be in practice. If there's 3-5 girls and they all look like differently aged versions of the same girl, I'd be very disappointed. It would be especially bad for 2D but even 3DCG has it's limitations when it comes to differentiating characters. Can't let 'realism' get in the way of making a good game

You're right, but you can make morph new character with another character...they don't need to be the same person at different ages...!

 

[DisguisedLizard]

just a little in my opinion

 

[james223]

Yeah that could be good make it more intense

 

[User_138467]

They should be similar to some extent, same kinds of features etc. A blonde brother enjoying his black haired sister just kills the vibe you know

 

[Ashwind]

Yes, for sure. I think it is good design if I can tell the characters are related just from the preview images.

 

[famkam1111]

Yeah, I do prefer if they look a like

 

[longgoneguy46]

i prefer the former, cos, you know, it's incest and that's what i want.

 

[dolmzalskiD]

A familial resemblance would be nice.

 

[Barryton42]

Somewhat yes, but i don't mind

 

[sirfapalot]

At the very least with the skin colour and facial features there should be some kind of resemblance.

 

[RustiBollux]

I'm a big fan of immersion ...siblings, family members that don't resemble each other breaks that immersion. Light of my Life is one example of doing it really well, while still giving each girl a unique look.

 

[SirBanana]

Making them look similar is preferred and as long as it doesn't go too far off I won't mind. As long as it stays mostly realistic.

 

[Seo In-guk]

No, because then I won't be able to identify, for example, when translating your question, you say that she looks similar and I understand that having the same face will be a bit confusing in knowing who she is or if you say because of her age, then the mother will be very mature, age 50 :v

I think within the framework of artistic freedom, not all descendants of the same parents have to look the same.

It's usually either twins or variety for different tastes but similar or even twins with different proportions would be awesome. I could see more similar characters working but don't think many Devs would bite since it means less variety and less money from those not interested so it probably would only be implemented in a few games.

 

[nofax54587]

Nah, I rather have variety

 

[xatfx]

For more realism, it could be better indeed.

 

[Gonzo01]

Have some resemblance, but it always makes for a better storyline if they have different characteristics (such as a loving one and a snotty one).
