What age should the player be? (Patreon)
Content
Hello everyone! So I mentioned in my last post that I was going to ask more feedback from the community. So here we are! The first poll of 2022.
Player age
There have been a lot of re-writes on top of re-writes changing the protagonist's age. Switching in between:
-Older more experienced character (like Orange Trainer & Paprika Trainer)
-Younger roughly the same age as the rest of the campers character
Experienced character
Having had experience writing for Lowlife and New Guy, this would be an obvious choice. Someone with a bit more life experience who can point out the ridiculous nature of the situation you're in. He would be closer to a Camp Counselor rather than a camper.
An example of the more experienced guy would be:
- Genie from Akabur's games
- Lowlife from Orange Trainer
- New Guy from Paprika Trainer
Same-age character
I have a little less experience writing these, but I can see the potential. The benefit of having a younger character is that there's a bigger potential for adding friendships and romance to the game. Also it would play into the whole 'naughty camp experience'. Where you go out and peak on girls, get your first kiss and hang out with friends.
An example of the younger / inexperienced guy would be:
- Summertime Sage protagonist
- What a Legend protagonist
What would you personally prefer playing as?
