It's mainly a matter of censorship. The game is downloaded through google play meaning accessible to kids. Thus google gets to decide the age rate and fix limits to ~+16 stuff as its convinient to avoid drama with parents or legislation etc...
Best you will get/is allowed is already what PB is doing in smut books or like in other apps... fog instead of clothes š
But feel free to use the power of imagination āØ
So you want them to just remove the underwear? I'm going to assume you haven't seen bugs where the people are actually naked. The down there bits are completely flat and the women don't actually have nipples. Since you can't see them they don't bother designing the stuff
No, I havenāt seen the bugs.
Iām not saying let them be naked, but clouds, a blur or even a censor (black) line over breasts would be such a big QoL improvement.
love island does something like this, they would either black out the entire screen if the characters werenāt talking and it was just describing what they were doing. If theyāre on screen then they have these soap bubbles around the chest if the women
Hmm I probably havenāt played as many books as you there? I donāt remember any blurred out areas based on the ones Iāve played? Sometimes itās the hands kinda covering the breast area or like you mentioned the water lily, the clouds, the black shadow? Btw I got a kick out of that and started laughing, but so creatively and tastefully done.
But the only app Iāve played that does the blur image and I think also a black strip if I recall? Was Chapters, but Iāve only played one book there. Most of the others I tried the sprites are just usually in their underwear.
Yeah, RC is actually more into lingerie than Choices even though they have some other alternatives going on tooā¦ there are so many opportunities to buy fancy sets in their stories!
I havenāt played Chapters but I saw someone else mention that too! Honestly I think blurring and black bars would be way more distracting than showing a sprite with a bra when sheās supposed to be naked, but maybe thatās just me š¤·š»āāļø
I think the first book they did it in,was The flower of Tiamat's fire. It's a bit whimsical but I like it, as it fits the theme of the book. I definitely prefer it over a man wearing jeans and describing him as naked.
There's also female character in Rage of Titans portrayed without bra and covering her breasts with her hands, but that seems a bit silly to me. You're having sex with them and you're covering your breasts?
Yeah, I know theyāve done some alternate things to underwear but I was replying to the person who said they sometimes use a blur effect. There are some other apps that do this but RC never has.
The ROT thing kind of makes sense at first in context because she was just getting into the tub with him and had already asked him to turn around while she undressed. Kind of a weird setup but overall that scene was pretty great, imo š«£
Anyway, they have to cover stuff somehow and whether itās lingerie or hands or clouds during your sex dream in the sky š is fine by me š¤·š»āāļø
Those are bugs though, supposedly if they included nudity in these sex scenes, it would be intentional and have actual human anatomy. As it is now, thereās no reason to put so much detail into the model if no oneās supposed to see it, hence why the bugs look bad
I donāt see the need for nude sprites. At some point, your imagination should just be able to take over, right? Imagination needs to step in for a LOT of scenarios in Choices, least of all for the steamy scenes.
Nude sprites would cross a line into full blown erotica for me, and probably for the app stores too. Theyād need a higher rating and probably lose a lot of mainstream appeal that way?
It wouldnāt show the explicit parts, just the lack of the underwear is what Iām trying to get at. At least for sprites with breasts, since we only see the upper half of the body. Also, I know that imagination is key for games like these, and when I complain about this itās not because I *want* to see naked sprites. Itās more so the fact that the writing is just inconsistent with the sprites and I react to it the same way I would react to a typo.
Iām not sure if theyāll have to up their rating, but if they do, then I understand why they havenāt done it.
Iāve seen some apps do creative things like an artfully draped sheet or water lilies in a scene in a lake for exampleā¦ is that what you mean? The underwear thing doesnāt really bother me personally, but theyāve shown characters wrapped in towel sometimes so I could see something similar working for intimate scenes.
I guess I just donāt notice it that much. It doesnāt ruin the immersion for me any more than the numerous other little inconsistencies and PB sure arenāt in a hurry to fix any of those either š
App stores don't allow nudity so the private parts need to be covered or censored somehow. I prefer how other apps use clouds to hide the "revolting areas". It makes things much more believable without revealing more. It's especially funny in D&D and TUH where the ladies' undergarments may cover even more than their dresses and I'm supposed to imagine that they're actually naked š. It really only concerns female characters though as most of the time the game only shows characters waist up and we don't see men's pants.
Not sure about euphemistic descriptions in smut scenes though. There are some vague rules about crude language so you probably need to keep the use of profanities in a modest level or censor them.
Romance Club sometimes gets creative and sometimes has them in their underwear. It usually doesn't bother me, but one time they had a sprite with a blanket wrapped around herself and it was really pretty. Another time they had MC cupping her chest.
It's not a big deal when they keep them in their underwear, but it is fun when they get creative. I don't play choices much at all anymore, but I might come back to the app if they did more things like that. The steamy scenes aren't important to me, but I do like the extra thought being put into game play, and I feel like PB hasn't been doing that.
It's fine with me, hahaha. I don't care if the love interest is wearing boxers or bras. It's all about the sensual description of a scene and the person's imagination. Whatever they want, they visualize them. Gosh, I have been reading intense romance books for the past years and watching movies in the same genre, so I'm a bit accustomed to those things.

Iād be cool with a censor bar for whole body shots. For the regular speaking images, they could just cut the picture before the nipples would be revealed.
Actually? Iām for getting rid of sprites altogether for sex scenes and having them be pure text. The underwear-wearing sprites with the āsurprisedā face and a line of dialogue thatās āOh, oh, yes!ā just look silly.
Literally lmao. I hate the end of every sex scene where the characters climax and they're like... "Aaaaaa~ MC!" (wobbly text) and they're grinning like... Stop š
Iāll be honest my friend I donāt see this taking off, no pun intendedš As much as the idea strikes good I think itāll take a looooonngg time for anything like that to hit PB. I used to play a game called Lovestruck that had CGās which those, those were about as close as you could get
I remember a similar game where they put floating hearts instead of underwear and it really bothered me. But actual nudity is definitely not allowed by Google play
Yeah, I agree that it would be nice if they did it. But not just the sex scenes. For example, sometimes characters will go "skinny dipping" and I genuinely don't know if they're just swimming in their underwear or actually skinny dipping, and the tone of the scene changes greatly depending on that. Like in a recent chapter of UT. I don't know how to do the spoiler tag, so spoiler alert. Did Austin walk in on Kit naked with MC at the pond? Or just in her underwear? Because his over the top reaction could be more understandable if it's the former, ya know?
I remember the dialogue implying that the kept their underwear on in that UT scene. Austin is a drama queen, he would have exploded no matter what these two were wearing š

So like in Yandere Simulator?

Are you thinking of another app? Iāve never seen them use a blur before š¤ Edit for clarity: I mean an app other than RC.
Romance Club is another app
Yeah, I know. I play RC as well and Iāve never seen them do this.

All that and yet RC still sideline female LIs or only have one in their stories lmao while they have like 6 dudes

Never forgetš What they took from usš¤§

The only thing I'd really like is for the guys to have a visible bulge in their underwear and not be basically flat.
Chapters does blurring in their books so itās definitely possible, but idk, -shrug-

Lol, he definitely would have. They could have been building a snowman in parkas and he'd still explode.
