No worries, and I'm stoked to hear that there's going to be a harem route of sorts. And I totally get wanting to have routes where the protagonist can get their dick-kicked in if they choose poorly, but I'm also super glad to hear there's the option to navigate your way to a good conclusion.First, thank you for the compliments! Second, yes, there will be an option for a harem-like route. Though in staying true to the nature of the characters involved, it won't be a big party where everyone shares the MC. It'll be more like, continuing his covert relationships indefinitely. When I started writing this story, I set out to write the game I would want to play. I hate feeling powerless, run down and as you say, kicked in the dick. So don't worry. While there may be an ending involving Roger getting totally fucked, I plan to write several others in which you come away a bit more empowered. Trust that if you play through a scene where you're getting kicked around a lot (like the opening scenes with Roger's boss, Arthur), know that I intend to give you an opportunity for vengeance later, if you choose to.
I am sorry that you've been denied some fun time with Cassie. But also know that I am not a fan of the slow burn. She's had two chapters so far in the game and today I'm beginning work on Chapter 3, in which there will be a chance to finally get that sought after lovin'. Bear with me a little longer and we'll get there.
I always wanted this game to be more about the relationships and not about "finally reaching the sex". Comparatively I would like to think the sex is going to come a lot earlier in this game than in many others, but it still required me to lay a little ground work so that the story made sense and wasn't just a click-through-fuck-buffet. If you can offer me a little patience, I'll see you get the payday you're looking for.
Salute mate and thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Also very excited to hear that there's some more Cassie stuff so close on the horizon! Sorry if I come off like I was agitated that we didn't get to the full-on incest so early into getting to know Cassie, that's definitely not how I feel
There are a lot of other games that give these sorts of taboo relationships what I call the "Brazzers treatment". Where e.g. they're doing a video about two people trying to have sex without getting caught, and they'll put in 5 minutes of lip service to the idea; they try and not moan *too* loudly, they try and stay out of sight, etc. But then the 5 minutes is up, the people who might've caught them either leave or catch them...and then leave while they keep going at it. And it turns into super standard porno fair.
And it's like, do they not get why people are looking for this stuff? The kinky stuff isn't something we the audience that's looking specifically for it want to fastforward through, just so we can to the usual jackhammering and skull-punching blow jobs
Which is a long winded way of saying I really like the writing so far with Cassie. She feels like the character's actual daughter, and that they're navigating a relationship where they're super attracted to each other, but also actually aware of the gravity of what crossing that line would mean.
Which doesn't mean they won't. Because that's half the fun ;p. But the payoff is only as great as the buildup of tension is believable. And I think you're doing a good job there man!
