My critique isn't that there was a change in the plan, it's that the idea for the story and main character was always very solid and encouraging but the plan to have a male POV (originally Liam, iirc) was bad from the start and the changes in the plan have made things worse....
" ... Playing as a MILF just brings an approach wind into the adult game world! Furthermore I'm thinking about maybe switching the playable character to a male one a few time later on and letting him make decisions! ... "
It's crazy to think how many people here have been crying about this as a supposed change in the plan. LOL.
While I've ranted and raged a few times over the years I've certainly shed no tears about the plan or changes in the plan. I've long thought that adding a male teenager's POV is dumb, as redundant as Meatballs 4 - as if it was telling a story that hadn't been told a thousand times before. There's no reason we can't get Dylan's thoughts (or anyone else's, for that matter) by conversation with Sophia. And as far as giving Dylan agency (choices), those opportunities could easily be achieved from Sophia's POV by allowing the player to choose Sophia's interpretation of events. For example, the swimming lessons event - instead of a choice of "Dylan gets jealous: Yes/No", it could be Sophia thinking "Sam is getting a bit touchy-feely: Dylan looks jealous/Dylan seems to enjoy watching".
