Q&A before Chapter 5 release (probably tomorrow)

Chapter 5 will most likely be released tomorrow. If I can’t finish everything, it will definitely be on Saturday. But I’m confident I can release it around 24h from now (evening time in Europe).

But before that, I thought it would be fun to answer to some of your comments in the posts related to chapter 4… while teasing some chapter 5 events here and there…

I’ll answer comments in the order they were posted.

Really want to see more from Bri and Olivia though. They haven't gotten a fair shake yet IMO.

Yeah, it was already discussed in previous posts how these two LIs have less screen time than the others. For story reasons, they’ll still not have that much screen time this chapter (I’m sorry to everyone who likes them...). But they’ll play a bigger role in chapter’s 6 plot.

Sadly I want to interact with Deb more, but I'm not that into feet.

There was an oversight on my part that made the feet scene with Deb mandatory in order to get into the path where she dommes the MC. 

I don’t like to make any kink mandatory, so will try to provide an alternative choice in that scene to still allow to enter in that path even if you don’t do the feet scene. I’m not sure if it’ll be done by release or in the path that will undoubtedly be necessary a few days later, but I’ll provide that option soon.

Obviously, this will only affect anyone starting a new save.

Emma is still main interest [as a sub MC]. However I am a sub only in the sheets so I wasn't going to take an L when the option to win is there. I hope this doesn't squander a sub relationship with her.

You’re fine. Asking for a lapdance, or accepting to dress her clothes (dependently if the MC wins or loses the poker game), will send you in a dominant or submissive path. However, just winning or losing the game, without going for the lewd scenes, will allow you to still go for either path in chapter 5. Like you hoped.

And I'm all for humiliation but so long as everyone involved is getting off on it.

The idea is that all kinky scenes, being it about humiliation, pain, or whatever, are always consensual and everyone gets off on them. Regardless if the MC is dominant or submissive. The exception is with the “Cheating” skill. Anyone using it, will be sleeping around behind their girlfriend’s back.

I hope there will be a path with her [MC submitting to Emma] without getting sissified though.

That was a one-off. Her path, or the game in general, won’t focus on that content.

I don't understand why Emma hints seems to imply she secretly want a sexist angle in the bedroom with her being a sub to a man.

She doesn’t understand it either. But in chapter 5 she’ll have the chance to think a bit more about it...

I ran out of eagle stats to do aftercare :(.

It’s okay, failing one time the aftercare won’t be a problem. But you better take good care of Jen in the future.

I love and hate Kim.

That’s the reaction I was going for.

I played her [Kim’s] path just for giggles. ... And you can pick her as your crush. What the heck, she terrible! xD

Some people like terrible :P

I was wanting to go this route [handjob by Kim] but can't find the right combination of being nice to and teasing her

To get the handjob you need to be in the path to were you have a mutual beneficial agreement with Kim. 

That’s defined in chapter 3 in the scene where she invites you for coffee. You can only get into that path depending on your choices there, and if you have had a total amount of manly points bigger than the total amount of sensitive points by that time.

In a second file I have I will try to be nice to Kim and see if she will tell Pete to break up with her.

In chapter 5 you’ll have the chance to start trying to convince her to do that. You’ll need to give her something in return, though…

I figure he [myself] does them [the polls] to see if people like the content as he works on the next chapter. Changing which character gets the lime light based on who likes what and who is least popular.

When the polls are made, the following chapter is already planned and with a bit written. It’s hard to take the results into account for the immediately next chapter. But I don’t change my plans based on polls. If anything, I use them to see which characters/paths are being less liked so I know what I need to improve.

Each time I see an equal distribution of results I’m a happy dev.

As a fan of mdom content in AVNs, I wouldn't really say anything in the game qualifies right now

Chapter 5 will have more interesting maledom scenes. The kinkiness is certainly increasing. Perhaps the mdom paths should have developed a bit faster, but I’m still happy with of how I planned things. Let's see if you guys agree.

Even though I would prefer to explore the submissive path more than others, I still believe not following your original vision, and focusing only on the submissive path that the most people want would lessen the game.

I agree. The skills and paths of the game were designed at the start and that won’t change. All chapters will have a roughly 50-50 distribution of scenes laying more on the maledom or femdom spectrum. Also, some of those will be more vanilla and some more hardcore. That was always the plan. 

That was the premise of the game and I won’t change it, even if it turns out that some paths are more popular than others.

That’s all for now.  Hope I can release the update tomorrow and that you’ll like it. Cheers.
