A Man For All - Season 2 (But not really...)

A Man For All - Season 2 (But not really...)

Since the beginning, I always approached 'A Man For All' like a TV show. I preferred the episode approach because I wanted it to feel like something happened in every episode. Maybe you didn't always have sex with the girl you wanted but at least the story moved along and you made progress among the different plots. I didn't want to put updates out that ended a random spot. And I wanted to create sort of a bookmark for where you are in the story so that when you picked up where you left off, it didn't feel like you were immediately in the thick of something.

It was suggested to me that I should have a Season 2. That would make sense, since it would be like the TV show format that I was going for. I admit that I hadn't even considered it before despite the sense it makes. I can say right now that there won't be a Season 2 officially. The main reason is that Season 2 just confuses people. They wonder where they're at, if their saves will carry over, what files they need to download. It just creates more questions that I have to answer with every new player that comes along. I want to keep things simple. You start from Episode 1 and just keep playing every episode until you get to the end. The story is connected and everything carries from one update to the next. I do my best to make sure saves carry over because I know how tedious it can be to have to start a new save with a new build.

Having said all that, we are in the next phase of the story. The first phase was establishing the main story, meeting the characters, and having a goal. From working at the coffee shop, to having the coffee shop blow up, to finding a new spot for a new shop, we're at a new location in the story both literally and figuratively.

So now what? We know the characters and we have relationships with them. Now it's time to get even closer to them and get to know them even better. This is the time when you get a chance to find out the important details and what makes them tick.

You have a tournament in the PGs. You have a modeling competition. You have your relationships. You have your job. You have your schoolwork. This is the part of the story when you really start making a push toward the end of all of these things. Now that I don't have to worry about introducing new characters or new plotpoints, I can focus on digging deeper rather than just expanding. Consider these first episodes (including the upcoming episode 10) the establishment of goals that you can very loosely describe as Season 1. Now the next episodes are going to focus on you trying to complete those goals.

Here's a very loose (I'm going to use that word a lot) diagram of how I have things mapped out.

It's four phases. The first phase to establish/re-establish goals. The next will be to move toward those goals. After that, it will be the completion of those goals. And after that, will come the ending/epilogue.

A couple of notes about this. The first is that it won't necessarily be the same amount of episodes for each phase. I have the story planned but I don't have the exact number of renders or length of every scene written down. I spent a lot of time introducing both characters and plot points. It was important to me this first phase was thorough. I might have been too thorough but it's what felt natural to me. I don't anticipate it will take that many episodes in the next phase to make progress, however, nothing is set in stone. I can't give an estimate on how long it will take. I can say that the third phase likely won't take that many episodes since it will be just tying up loose ends. And the ending/epilogue will just be that, since there's no need to let it play out over several episodes. To sum these phases up, there won't necessarily be an even distribution of episodes for every phase of the story.

This might be the most important thing to note: I know what you want. What I mean is that I know you want to hook up with the girl you like. Whether you like how she looks or you like her character, you've already decided you want to sleep with her. Whether it's Riley or Vanessa or Detective Seo or anybody else. I know how important those relationships are, especially when it comes to being intimate. For those relationships, I have specific plot points and moments planned when things happen. You've been given the chance to have sex with some characters. I know when you'll be given the chance to have sex with the other characters you haven't. I'm pretty sure none of you would be here if the possibility for sex with the character you like wasn't planned. There are 11 main women you interact with. You've had the chance to do something sexual with six of them. You're going to get those other five. I just have to get you to that point in the story.

The reason I didn't want to put out a road map for this year because the bottom line is I just need to work. If I said you had sex with Vanessa in Episode 30 but I started putting out updates once a week, it wouldn't be as bad as if I said you have sex with her in Episode 10 but Episode 10 won't be finished for another year. So, I'm just going to work. This year, I'm trying to work as much as I can without sacrificing quality. I know what you want, so I'm gonna do my best to get you there.

To sum things up once again, we're very loosely in the area between the end of Season 1 and the beginning of Season 2. If none of that matters to you or you didn't understand anything, it's not a big deal. I plan on making everything move from one episode to the next as seamlessly as possible. You can just keep playing every update like always without having to worry or think about anything else. This is just an explanation of where you're at and what my plan is if you were wondering where everything was going. It's some structure to what might seem like a random series of events.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or complaints, you can always send me a message or leave a comment. I have a plan but I was always take everything into consideration. I try my best to be flexible and only set major thing in stone. And even then, those things can be fixed if it's a big enough issue.

Thank you all for willingly coming along this journey with me. Now that you know what I'm thinking, the only thing left for me to do is do it. Even though I'm writing and creating this story, I know that you're the MC. You're the one experiencing it. I'm just telling you how things go. I enjoy telling your story. I hope you enjoy what you've experienced so far and everything yet to come.

Progress on Episode 10 is steady but not much to report on since I'm still just rendering. I'll have the first report in a few weeks. I appreciate you all for your support. Thank you for everything. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.
