General interest in future otome games (Patreon)

Tailor Tales won't be the only game I'll be developing, I am planning on more in the future. I've got two ideas, and they're two completely different genres as well as gameplay.

Here's just a very short summary:

1. The dating sim - slice of life
The idea is to be able to fully self-insert and customize your MC. From the way they look, to pronouns, to choosing every single line of dialogue. You will be arranging dates through a dating app and go on short and fun dates you pick out (leftover from Tailor Tales' date mechanics!). Would likely include touching as well. The user is able to indicate their own gender preferences, so you could date an all male cast, or some women included as well.

2. The merchant RPG - fantasy
You're one of the first settlers on an unexplored island. To explore more of the island, you send out mercenaries and explorers. Whether their mission succeeds depends on the clothing and armour you give them. You are able to walk around town and interact with NPCs. You can romance them too, or play cupid and create couples by making them do missions together.

Given these two vague concepts, which would interest you more?
