When I browse through Latest Updates, I first look at the tags. If I can't grasp them at a first glance, I normally just go to next, since it tells me the developer is trying to please far too many kinks in the same game. Basically, it's fan driven, not driven by the developer, which is a sure sign of a badly written story.
Not necessarily. There are several, completed or ongoing, that have multiple kinks and are very well done, with one or two getting 5 stars here. The Key to that is to not just have a plan but a vision or an outline of where a story goes, how it develops, casting, and a distinctive reference as to how long, in game or story time, the tale takes place. AWAM had a lot of potential but as I said previously, without some kind of backdrop, Sophia behavior is erratic. For example, her flrting with the movers. As a stand alone scene, it shows Sophia as being daring because the underlying tone is that she's bored with Liam for whatever reason. Women Love attention and when they don't get enough of it, flirting is the first thing that unhappy gfs and wives do. The problem is that it's never been addressed. Believe me, if your girl or mine were found to be flirting (simply by the way they're dressed among a man or men) ALL of your alarms should be sounding. She's got issues that need to be addressed because happy, faithful women have no Need to flirt.)
The key to it all is an establishment of a behavioral pattern. Was Sophia Always like that, or did it come later? Was Patricia influencing her in some manner? Is she truly bi and hiding it or is she just seeking attention? When you can give background on behavior and mental status, you can practically run with as many kinks as necessary to progress the story. Another key element is making sure that, if you have multiple character interactions, they don't All need to have their stories followed up on. That's why, in games and in writing, they're called NPCs. They're only needed to progress a certain part of the game and nothing more. You can have multiple kinks in game but you have to stay aware that they need to be relevant to the story as well as the main and secondary charcters like Dylan, Ellie and Sam. Everyone else should be disposable, there only to progress the story, nothing more.
