Status of the Demon King in Rise of Corruption.
Added 2023-04-20 14:41:42 +0000 UTCI have mentioned before that there would be a poll determining if certain harem members are added into the game, and this is it. So here it is now that we are nearing the point where it would be needed.
Spoilers for Rina's route ahead in the next paragraph.
In Rina's route, you will travel to the Demon King's domain in order to find a way around the Zerethin Wall, which can be seen in the overworld. The exact nature of the wall, and the method to get around it will be revealed in Rina's route, but what is important right now, is the Demon King.
As established in the intro, the Demon king is a separate being from the Dark Lord, with different goals and views. Around the time I was getting the V0.1.0 release ready to post, I had considered writing the Demon King as the Demon Queen. Ultimately, I had decided against it at first since at the time I felt it didn't fit with what I wanted for the game at the time. But after thinking about it after the Initial release, I got ideas how the Demon Queen aspect could actually work, and I wanted to at least give you all the option to chose.
To be clear, the change would be a simple rewrite of a few lines for later content to build on. Not adding genderbending content later on.
Leaving the Demon King as is will give the player an almost entirely hostile relationship with the Demon King, and much less overall content for his domain, but the content in it will be a bit more varied, optional, allow for quicker updates, and it will allow me to add more of a focus on corrupting the elves, goddesses and angels later in development. While there would be a conclusion to the Demon King's story, it would be more optional, and less involved in the rest of the story, with the options you have on how it plays out resulting in less sexual content in the Demon King's domain in favor of crushing and humiliating the only possible male rival for those that want that type of content.
Changing the Demon King to the Demon Queen Would be a package deal with two demon girl generals of the Demon Queen to corrupt over the course of the game to set up their betrayal of the Demon Queen for you. For those that would want more types of demons in the harem, this would be one of those chances. This would also allow for the interesting situation of being able to corrupt the Demon Queen and Supreme Goddess together, and have some interesting scenarios with that. The drawbacks of this would be less varied and optional content when it comes to the Demon Queen's realm, with more non optional content being added, longer update times in updates where this content would be added, more linear content with the Demon Queen's domain, and the "corruption" of the Demons won't be as drastic as some of the others you corrupt, since you can't really get too more corrupt than a demon. This would also make the Demon Queen and her domain more involved with the rest of the story.
I had considered adding the female generals to the Demon King, but doing so would clash a bit with what I have in mind for that option, so it would be best to chose between one or the other.

2023-04-20 16:40:31 +0000 UTCAs a general rule, I think it's best to go with the option that involves the most sexual content/mind control, since that's what most people are here for. If only in doubt, of course.

2023-04-20 15:28:48 +0000 UTCHonestly, both ideas could work, and I’d be happy with either - for a demon king option, it’s a common trope that a demon king sometimes has a daughter, could that not also be implemented? Like the female generals are possible the demon kings daughters?
