Actually the story did not get side barred. The story is (as presented in the OP and on Patreon):
"you assume the role of Roger Harrington, a middle-aged corporate executive whose career has just suffered a major set-back. With his career in jeopardy and life as he knows it on the ropes,
he begins seeking as much diversion and distraction as one man can possibly handle. The game features seven main love interests"
I want to be clear that the business story (which the last 2 releases were dedicated to) is not the "
main" story. I can appreciate that you favor one or more story lines over others, but I billed this game with seven characters that were all introduced in the beginning of the game "over a year ago" and I owe it to
ALL my players to see that each gets some screen time.
I won't argue over the wide variance in human body, size, type and development that exists in the world. All the girls in the game are of near equal height or taller than the MC and of different body shapes. Again, I appreciate that you have developed for your own reference a standard size and shape for different ages, but that standard is not necessarily shared by the player community or even nature itself.
I am sorry to hear that you were not happy with the update, but it was stated back in October which character I would be working on and releasing next. There have been multiple conversations, live streams, teaser art, and weekly news posts regarding the development of Amanda's storyline. So I don't feel like I have to apologize for a "bait and switch" that I did not commit.
Ultimately, this game is about seven characters (maybe more if time and production schedules allow). But of those seven, you clearly are displeased with three of them. My recommendation for the future would be to check the change log, see what character was developed for a release, and if it's not one you enjoy, skip that release and wait for a later one.
I'm not asking everyone to enjoy every character, and perhaps in the next release I'll go back and re-code some of Amanda's first chapter so that you can cut her out of your story altogether going forward. But I will continue to develop all seven characters and the
main story of Roger's whirlwind love life that began with his shattered career.
Cheers mate and thanks for your feedback.
