discussion Whats the perfect number of characters in a scene??

MC +1 is what I prefer, but MC +2 max for me. If there are more then it just feels crowded to me.

+1

This might be an unpopular opinion, but men are not built to satisfy multiple women at the same time. A man only has one dick to give, and there's only so much he can do with his mouth/hands.

I like variety, but when the dev starts putting many different girls in his game, the result is that no one have enough screentime and character development, so even though I don't think there's an specific number, it should be taken in consideration when making a game.

2 - mom and sister. Don't need anyone else but them.

1-4.

Anything more than that I find 99/100 games cant devote the proper amount of time to flesh out all the characters and they all suffer for it. I'd rather have a couple of characters that are an ocean deep than 25 characters that are shallow as a puddle. Makes for a far better game imo.

When a dev is a year into updates and suddenly adds a new LI to a game is when I start to check out of the dev and accept its going to have a disappointing ending that was thrown together last min.

I play most porn games while they're still being developed, sometimes months between sittings. I load up the game, and re-encounter some chick from earlier in the game and have no idea who she is. Even Eternum is pushing it.

Depends on who's making the game. For most devs, 6 starts to push the number of characters that they can handle and still devote enough screentime to each to keep them interesting and well-writen. Some devs can handle a massively multiplayer cast. Most can't and it shows really quickly.

I can't say more than 5 as the main focus. You can have however many just quickies/1 or 2 scene girls but only at most 5 main girls because anymore than that the story drags and just becomes scene after scene of sex with no context.

Why do so many people respond in this thread as if the question was "What's the perfect number of LIs in a game?"?

MC+1. +2 is ok for special scenes.

I voted for MC+3, if there are more, it will be a bit difficult for them to fit on the screen.

Three is the magic number, it works for the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch and it works for me too.

MC plus 2 is the way to go. More just extends the scene far past what it should be.

MC? Does this mean main character? If it does, mostly I like 1 or 2 because it make writing the story easier than have too many. Plus it can get confuse if there are too many.
