Philosophy - More Than

I may or may not have talked several times about the ladies and their timelines when it comes to having sex with them. I won't pretend that's not what you're here for. I'm here for it, too. But I wanted to talk a little bit about how I've gone into the story and the characters beyond the sex.

When I designed the characters, I designed them from the ground up. I wrote their backstories. I wrote their personalities. I wrote the plots that revolve around them. I wrote how you progress through their story and where things end up. I wrote all of the details that make them who they are.

One of the reasons I wrote and planned all of these things because I knew not every character was going to appeal to everybody. I know that there are some of you who just want to hook up with every single girl and get into a relationship with them. But with several different options, there's the inevitable possibility that someone won't be interested in some or even most of them. So that's how the characters were designed: On the assumption you wouldn't pursue them.

The ladies in the story are strangers who grow into friends. You have unique relationships with them that have story elements but they're also there because sometimes that's what a friendship is. The story is and always will be my main focus. And a story isn't any good unless the characters in that story are interesting, too.

That's how I went into designing the characters and writing their stories. I wanted to give them personalities. I wanted to give them reasons for those personalities. I wanted to write all of the little details and small quirks that made them who they were. I think it's important in fleshing out the story and the world that you're playing through. I hope that you've noticed that these girls have some semblance of a background and personality, even if it's something that might be uninteresting like Riley working hard to become a businesswoman or Kate being a veteran in her field of science. And these background and personality traits are meant to go beyond giving you reasons to have sex with them. They're there because that's what makes them who they are. My goal is that by the end of the story, you'll look back on it and feel like these characters are more than just their character models or someone you have to pick the right dialogue choice for.

And if all of that works and you want to pursue them, you get the bonus of having something more. Like I said, I know what you're all here for. I could give you all the sex you want and I'm sure you'd enjoy it. I think I'd enjoy it, too. But I think it'll be a little sweeter when you see that they're more than that.

On the other hand, if you're willing to pursue a girl without all of the need for the background story and personality traits, then it still works because you can skip right through it. No matter what reason you have for playing, I planned on hitting every possibility I could.

That's just my hope and what I'm attempting. If you're just here for the renders and don't care about anything else, that's cool. I spent a good amount of time painting the walls of my restaurant but if you don't care about the atmosphere and just enjoy the food, I'm happy with that. If you think the characters aren't interesting but you're putting up with them because you think they're hot and want to have sex with them, I know I did something right. But I wanted to create characters in a story with big details and a somewhat grand scale. It might not seem like much but I think it adds just a touch more enjoyment if the ladies are more than what they seem to be on the surface. I hope you're enjoying the game, for any and all reasons you might find.

All that being said, I'll talk more about the good stuff in the future. And by good stuff, I mean the sex and all that. We're getting deeper into the story and closer to the point where things are going to happen with certain love interests (if they haven't happened already). I'm going to ask for your input if you're willing to share it on what you'd like to see from the ladies. I want to make all of the ladies as fleshed-out and well-rounded as I can. If you're enjoying what you're seeing or if you think something's missing from a character, let me know either way.

On Episode 11

There are a few sequences I need to get finished. They're the biggest sequences of the episode and possibly of the entire game up to this point. I want to get this just right, so I'm not sure how long it'll take. It's kinda tricky but I'm working on it as much as I can. Right now my attention is focused completely on getting these sequences done.

This will probably be my last post for the month of April. Looking back on it, I've gotten a lot of scenes done and made some good progress. I think I've done enough I can have a decent progress report for the first week of May.

For those of you checking out this month, thanks for your support. I hope you'll get a chance to check out the next episode when it's released. For those of you sticking around for May, I've got the previously mentioned progress reports planned. We'll see just how close I can get to finishing this episode over the course of the next month.

It feels like it's been a short month but I think I've been productive. Thank you all for everything. Any questions, comments, or requests, send me a message. Take it easy. I'll see you all soon.
