Alright, so we had a really good discussion so far on Male character behavior in this post:

So I'd encourage everyone to take a look and read through the discussion in the comments to get all of the context. I got a lot of great feedback and opinions from those who responded.

A pretty good idea came from Hexamore, which was to put the guys on a 10 point scale from Terry down at 1 (the nicest/most normally behaved guy) to Dr. Milburn at a 10 (Wants to impregnate & imprison every girl in town). This is a pretty good idea for gathering easy feedback from everyone as people can just pick a general number about where they would like the average male to be in terms of how they behave towards/treat the female characters in this game world.

This isn't a definitive poll or anything like that. It's just an easy way for me to gather a consensus on what people want to see in terms of the average male character. I added in all of the males as where I'd personally rate them. I rated George at a 8 since he didn't give Tiffany any choice in their scene, where as Robert did. However, Robert was injured at the time, so who knows what he would have done if he had the choice... But that's why they're separated here, as an example of the way we saw him behave in general.


  • So, pick where on a 10 point scale (from Terry - Dr. Milburn) you think the Average Male in this world should be in terms of how they behave/treat women.


Thanks for your feedback and support! I updated the v0.06 progress report with some of my progress.

If people are confused and need further explanations, feel free to ask me to clarify here.

Average should be higher than 5 imo, because the "whole world is going to shit" and they´re just like "fuck it, lets go ham". :D

Will the male behaviour be for the game world as a whole, or is it just confined to the infected town and surrounding areas?

Yes, it's intended to be the societal norm. So the average male inhabiting the gameworld not just Ashton Lake. So it would be irrespective of the apocalypse. Though all of the men you meet in-game will be in areas that are experiencing the apocalypse anyway.

Something that I brought up over in the discord server. This is more about what is normal in this game's society than the men specifically. As in, whatever is the average male character considers normal/appropriate is what the average female character considers normal/appropriate as well. For example, in the case of a 6, if it's normal and appropriate for the average male (Robert in this case of a 6) to expose themselves in-front of a hot woman they just met and propose impregnation sex, then that would be what the average female of this world would accept as something that was within the bounds of normal/appropriate behavior.

What if someone ends up being worse than Dr. Milburn?? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOO5S4vxi0o" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOO5S4vxi0o</a>

Well, it’s entirely possible there could be one or two real pieces of work in the future, but I’m not really interested in any themes too much darker than what I’m already portraying.
