This is TJ from the (cancelled) dating sim Sisters of Cheyenne High.

His game flopped harder then Lehman Brothers in the 00s , netted a total of 50(fifty) bucks and ends up being cancelled after the release of one(1) demo.

How would you fix his design so he would be more appealing to his target audience?

He looks fine the way he is, depending on the setting, and I doubt his design was the only factor in why your game didn't do well. What do the girls look like?

If it's a dating sim we need to know what the characters who you'd be dating are, not the protag.

his design is probably not the issue and the real problem is more than likely whatever writing the game had, if its that terrible in the demo that makes people drop it before it even comes out

mc looks pretty interesting tho. gives you a desire to learn about his (sad) backstory, which also could be used ot hide a twist or something.

He seems in the shy side but without falling into the generic shy beta. If people didt like him, seems more like a problem with whatever premise or (lack of) hook the game had. Like, throw that character into a dead game setting and you have kino

Your shit aint even niche it's just irrelevant forgotten dogshit that you only like because you have brain damage. Notice how you HAVE to make threads on /v/ that die after 50 posts because literally no one else is going to talk about it on the internet, anywhere, ever. What a sad existence. Even the dumbest gorilla nigger westernslop VN probably has a dedicated community somewhere.
