While reviewing and remaking the Academy series over the past few years, I've got to know Bridgette's character better than most.
She is lots of fun and there is plenty to work with. I really enjoy creating scenes with her.
Bridgette is obviously a very important character throughout the series and you really get a chance to develop a relationship with her more so than anyone else.
My fondness for Bridgette spawned the Date with Bridgette episodes which will form chapters 9, 10, 11 and 12 in the new chronology.
One thing that was fairly apparent in retrospect, and from various comments and feedback, is that there is a very steep transition in her story arc and character development.
She portrays a rather constrained and desperately professional acting Bridgette when you first meet her in Chapter One.
She reiterates her warnings about avoiding relationships with work colleagues on a few occasions.
Originally the story had her going from this introspective restraint to unabashed exhibitionism and recklessness within just a couple of days, which seemed a bit unrealistic.
However, I have hopefully addressed this with a few extra scenes which develop her personality and motivation which let you know how she really feels.
The bonus scene in the photography studio at the end of Chapter Three on Tuesday is really Bridgette's blatant admission that she wants more than just a working relationship with you.
By the time you meet her for a drink after work on Wednesday evening during this chapter, she is more than ready to go...
There are a few caveats though. You do need to keep her happy during the day and she does have a weakness which you can use to your advantage.
Bridgette like's a glass of red wine or two, and alcohol really reduces her inhibitions.
If you can find a way to get to the bar as late as possible, then by the time you arrive she will be very happy to be rescued...
What happens afterwards is up to you. Get her back to her apartment for another drink and she is sure to ask for more.
The bonus scene costs 200 credits to unlock and contains what is probably some of my best work to date.
Here are a few more animated samples...





I hope you enjoy it!
