player character customzation

[Ducky]

I was wondering if there would be more playable characters, such as a girl MC or player customization. one of the flaws i would say this game has is that there is an actual face and identity with the MC which isn't bad but it does ruin the immersion just a little but, I felt like this game was trying to be meta-and not meta at the same time. after playing the game, I was confused on whether or not the story was just a story or if the main-plot also focused on the main character as well. Either way it was a great story and at the end i was left satisfied, however something struck me, this next part is spoilers so don't read if you haven't beaten the game yet.

anyways, in the void or the in between worlds section there's a puzzle where mini-me's run around and you have to guide them into the hamster door thingy to open the gate. then I remembered the long hair mita explain that every player and Mita has a chibi version of themselves. one of the mini me's is a female character. which made me wonder if they would add more player customization later on.

I wanted to have a in-game reason for this to be added other than just "because" and I saw somebody else ask the same thing and I realized i'm not the only person that thought that. I understand if it's not added, because the main narrative focuses on this character in particular but it'd still be cool for the "Friendly version" where you choose to stay with Mita instead of looking in the basment.

thanks for reading my little rant but a female MC and maybe character creator would be so cool :D

Real and true... I wouldn't mind if devs might just add an actual story/DLC later maybe of a new character whom you can customize. Cause current story looks like a story of MiSide's dev trapped in a cartidge.

Indeed i think that would give the game a lot more of familirization with the players, not everyone is a man.

oh man... that's an interesting thought... I feel like the social implications for that are quiet complex. While this isn't *specifically* a dating game, it does feel like there's some major physical-attraction undertones. Kinda changes the whole vibe of the game. And yet, there isn't any reason, at least as far as i've gotten, why such a thing is necessary for the story (although I guess the "walking in on Mila" scene would not have nearly the same implications with a female player). Idk, other than the character model and maybe some pronouns, it probably wouldn't take a lot.

There has been some rumblings on the forum about how the male loneliness epidemic might be some of the social context for this game. And if that was an artistic intention of the creator, then adding the female option would drastically change the meaning of the work.

Although I wonder if perhaps those are being projected onto the game by players, rather than intended by the dev... i thought I heard this was a russian dev, and i usually hear about the male loneliness epidemic in reference to america (and maybe to a small degree, maybe western europe). Russia's got a different male social issue to deal with atm.

But then, perhaps the dev is simply a businessman, in which case the female player would make the game appealing to a wider audience.

Still, it's an interesting question.

I agree with you but i still think having more options dont hurt the meaning of the game. Maybe the loneliness view of men youre saying is from a certain percentage of players, and most of the players i think they come just from the game being so popular. I may be wrong idk, but ill love to see a fem mc. Srry for my bad english.
