Similar questions to the ones I asked on Giantess City, obviously switching out the word "giantess" for "S.W." to tailor them to the audience here.
Original topic at Giantess City. Since the question about the game "Big and Small" does not apply here, I have swapped it out. That question was related to feedback that was given to the "kiosk" Giantess Arcade (basically my friend who I made video games with) had at the Size Convention, because people really seemed to want a game like it, where you would play as a giantess and destroy the military. Obviously the military could have tiny ladies in it too.
The original three questions:
1. Are there any existing game genres that you believe would be good as a giantess game?
2. Is lack of a game like "Big and Small" since "Big and Small" a sentiment that is shared by the wider community here (and not just people attending the convention)?
3. What has been your biggest gripe with giantess games that have appeared in the community in the past (in terms of ones you have played)?
*Big and Small video demonstration, for those curious:

New questions tailored for the Shrunken Woman Board:
1. Are there any existing game genres that you believe would be good as a S.W. game?
Some of the responses I got for question one are as follows:
- Nobody seems to be making use of Ren'Py to make (giantess) games.
- More than one person mentioned they'd like to see a "giantess dating sim" game.
- More than one person said they'd like to see an "on the rails experience" (think the original Pokémon Snap)
- A stealth game, something like "search and rescue" or "cat and mouse"
2. Do you have a favourite S.W. game?
This question was not asked at Giantess City. Naturally, people did list some of their favourite fetish games they have played in the past.
3. What has been your biggest gripe with S.W. games that have appeared in the community in the past (in terms of ones you have played)?
Some of the responses I got for question three (as it relates to giantess game) are as follows:
- Lack of networking (i.e. people with skills not talking to each other so that they may make bigger projects together.
- Toxicity within the community, both from the side developers and players/fans.
- Video games not being completed and over-ambition in general.
- Too many people making games in R.P.G. maker (other people did defend R.P.G. Maker as a tool, mind you, so it's a polarizing topic).
I'll also ask the bonus question that came about from the original topic:
What Accessibility Options Would You Like In Giantess (S.W.) Games?
From
this topic at Giantess City.
These are a few options I thought of that would make games more accessible:
1. Ability to edit key bindings
2. Colour blindness support (i.e. the ability to change certain colours, if required)
3. Ability to change the text size
4. Difficulty settings for those that want/need them (e.g. if somebody can only play the game on handed)
5. Text to speech (e.g. for dyslexic people)
6. Ability to change screen resolution
Somebody else mentioned:
- The ability to toggle/disable headbob and screen-shake makes it a lot more enjoyable for people who get motion-sick easily.
After the next update of Under Her Shadow is out (end of January I am hoping), I reckon that for Giantess Arcade I will be working on a game similar to Frogger by Konami, but with a macro twist. You would have to get resources and then take them back to your bunker or something similar (not clear on the finer details).
In terms of pure S.W. content, I am currently also working on a new visual novel, titled "Between The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea". In the game, you play the part of a slave lady who was left for dead on a island (sandbank) and a giant demon lady decides she wants you as pet. In order to satisfy here, you must first complete some challenges for her. This game has an all-female cast of four characters (two giantesses and two "S.W. characters", and I am expecting it to contain around one-hundred unique images, like my other visual novels.
