Changing the point of view of the player

Post by golgafrincham »

Most teases take the form where the player is looking at the characters depicted in the photos in the tease, but I've been thinking of switching it where you are playing the person in the photos and the characters are simply talking to you.

I did think of making this work also as more of a two way conversation by incorporating text in the photo to represent the voice of the player on the screen, and then text in the text box beneath as per usual as the counterpart.

Does anyone know of teases out there that work in this way?

As a hetero guy, I really can't see the appeal of looking at pictures of a fictional "me" while engaging in auto-erotic activities. The vast majority of teases featuring attractive women does not seem like a coincidence to me. At least for me, the visual stimuli provided by the fairer sex's bodies are a key component of a web tease experience and, unlike with a regular book or movie, I'd have a hard time identifying myself with a female protagonist in an erotic web tease.

Don't let me stop you, though. Fresh ideas are always welcome.

I second what undeniable_denial said and would even take it a bit further. For a computer game, third person can work very well, and if you just want to use this site to tell some erotic story or make an erotic game, that can work. But if the tease contains instructions that are supposed to be carried out, this does not really make sense. You then are carrying out the instructions on your self but at the same time they are supposed to happen to some other main character, that you are just playing. At this point it is not even that a male main character would not be attractive to a male heterosexual player, but it just starts to get a dissociative identity disorder feel to it. It could only work if this is intentional, e.g. if it is some fantasy setting where you turn into somebody else. Or maybe if the tease sometimes switches perspectives, and you play some other character for some intermediate plot. But this would require some quite sophisticated story telling. Webteases rarely are this complex.
