Alright, let's get a few things out of the way.
Let me share with you some of my thoughts.
(I'll try to be succinct)
I've taken a couple days off, so that I could keep up with all the questions and suggestions you guys might have.
Bad Bobby Saga 2.0. (dev's blog)
Part of the idea behind not using any of the original content was not to create a conflicting scenario between the original game (and its promissed mods) and what I have in mind.
The story that I have planned for BBS2 takes place a couple years after the current events.. as long as no consensual sex / falling in love w/ Bobby happens on the following patches (which I don't think should happen, not anytime soon), you should be somewhat able to feel like RAinces' story and mine are collateral, one not denying the events followed on the other.
It won't take more than a few pictures and a small scene to set it (and I won't extend it beyond what's strictly necessary - no one plays BBS for its compound background & elaborated character arcs)
Imagine one of those game-over scenarios. The game ends because you went too far and got caught, right?
I'm using this exactly motto.
Bobby got caught and Ms. Ann had him sent away for "reabilitation".
A couple years latter he's coming back, "fixed".
But as you'll immediately find out, he's not really "fixed" (there's nothing to fix, if you ask me)
He found a way to return (of course he did), shielded by that lie (initially), eager and ready to start it over.
All that shit is going to be only softly explored, here and there, as events continue to pop up and as you progress, and not through much exposition (it's just a set up). But all that shit should position you, the player, somewhere in the near future w/out really pointing out what exactly happened between Bobby and the girls.
If RAinces decides to continue his story (which I would play, of course... and make use, if possible), as long as nothing major happens, we can all play both, and feel like what's happening here is still connected to what happened there.
I, personally, wouldn't mind having two (or more) devs working on BBS, specially if I could play both without feeling like the things I do in one of them, ain't happening in the other.
I can't go all-in with that idea though.. I wish I could work on my script taking any events RAinces has planned for Bobby into account, and a thin line of communication should suffice.. but RAinces is hard to reach out to.
Anyway... as I compromised with not interfering with the original timeline, setting the story a couple years ahead, I've decided to use a new model for Bobby.
That new model is brutally custom. You won't find him in any other game you play.
Personally, I don't find Tween Ryan an ugly or aesthetically creepy model.. I never saw Bobby that way, ugly and weird.
He's a little brat, perverted and creepy, and he's willing to go all-in and to do whatever it takes to get him to fuck them, whether being through manipulating their feelings, using drugs, brute force.. doesn't matter.
But they do actually like him - as a parent, as his older siblings.. that's heavily implied in the game.
They see his pervertion as an annoyance they're supposed to endure 'cause.. well, he's on that age.
Now a true story.. I am a good-looking lad myself.. and boy oh boy, God knows how much I've tried to have my way with my mom, with my sisters.
I know they know, and I know I've crossed some lines in the past.
But I never scored anything, naturally. Despite being a much nicier guy.
My point is..
Older Bobby fits the story and background I've worked upon. And he is, believe you or not, how I imagined an older Bobby... physically.
His character in the other hand is sounding slightly more confident (only slightly, and I mean it).. but as manipulative as always, same Bobby. He hasn't really experienced much since the day he left, sexually and otherwise.. so, quoting Mr. Tywin Lannister, he's still that "ill-made, spiteful little creature full of envy, lust, and low cunning"
His new looks should play a small part on his objectives, sure, he's got some buffs (we all saw it), but I'm writing down things considering his sisters & mom as they were (realistic, plausible), and they are not falling for that.
This ain't your ordinary adult incest game.
Also, his dick is going to be just a good old dick. (no magical powers, no extra size or longness)
My point being..
Having him bigger and older changes things. It does. Maybe too much, true. (and we don't want that)
I understand you want old Bobby.. most of you, us, want BBS.. RAinces' BBS.
I can't give you that.
I might even give you old Bobby - there were some pretty good arguments up there. But let's have this straight.. as much I am actively trying to make a game that is going to feel as RAincestly as possible, I am not RAinces.
I know I can't give you an exact RAinces' BBS continuation, so I am not even gonna go for it.
But I'm going to give you a good game (up to my best), and a game that should feel BBS-ish as fuck. (hopefully)
I want the original characters to feel themselves, I'm trying my best to.. and I want the game, and its pace and premises, to feel expressively similar.
I want you to feel like "haha classic Lisa", or "that's so Bobby kkk (fap fap fap)"..
But it's a different game.. it won't be a new version.
Mechanically-wise, its gameplay is going to be nearly the same.. but I'll leave my comments on that for another time.
So, I might change Bobby's model. I see the poll, and I hear ya. (don't want this to be the next Last of Us 2)
But if I don't.. when it comes out, give it a chance nonetheless. You might just dig it.
That's all for today.
SP out.
