if any "final girls" exist.
Well, I didn't link High Tension by accident. (Okay, it's not a very good story, but it's worth watching because of the performance of the couple Cecile de France/Philippe Nahon.)

That being said, I named the mc "Newt". I hope she doesn't die of screen between two chapters. :confused: :LOL:
Maybe I should have called her "Ellen".
I named her Cassie after Cassandra Hack in hopes of survival.;)

Pff... all those lazy dev that don't even work 24h a day / 7 days a week to give us games for free...
Scandal!

1) I want you as the player to have more time to in a positive/negative light see more character development. Some characters are very purely background NPC's who are there to fill the "world" and are obvious contenders to be axed. As I have made it clear that does not exclude the entire main cast, which includes the MC. After Chapter 1's release I did a Q&A feedback poll and asked if people are prepped for potentially the entire cast to be axed. A good number said that they're mentally prepared for it, some have not. Maybe "LESS" would be prepared now that they're starting to like certain individuals? Remember that in this game at the end of chapter 1, you've only just come to the end of day 1 at camp, excluding the prologue, which is prior those events.
If people are mentally prepared for it, Take down the two mains LI (for now Vanessa/Tiffany) earlier and not "at the end " of the story will be a rly bad idea, even if the main goal of the story is a horror theme. A good reason for people to lose interest in the project. And maybe add somes options for saves lives

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment on this thread. You'll have to forgive me, but I'm not quite sure that I 100% understand what it is that you're trying to say, but let me try my best and respond regardless...

If you're indicating that because of the Q&A survey at the end of Chapter 1 that the majority said that they're prepared for anyone to be axed that you're suggesting that I just axe Vanessa and Tiffany early on, rather than later then the simple answer to that is no. It would be a shit horror slasher if I invested so much time already (even if we're very early in the in-game playtime) to remove two strong PI (Potential love interests), to not disappoint fans later. That might very well make people get up and give up on the game immediately. Also, if I killed both of them now, then we'll only have the same situation on any other potential love interests that would come in to replace them... so... would not work.

If anyone is playing my AVN then there are a few cold hard facts that they have to deal with, which won't change as I'm sticking to my vision:
1) This game has a female protagonist and is a female-female (lesbian) orientated AVN.
2) This is not a harem game, nor ever will be. Even "if" very limited you are able to divert on more than one girl at once, it will not end in a harem.
3) This is a horror game always first and foremost before nsfw (porn). Priority is to the story and the slasher/horror element of this game, over nsfw. NSFW is just a nice extra layer, which I want in the game as this is not a PG-13 game, nor will I treat it like one.
4) There will be death. Regardless of your "choices" (and without spoiling anything) "IF" there is a chance to save anyone, or yourself... no matter what as a user earlier rightly said... some will be hard coded in to die regardless. It would be a shit horror slasher game if everyone survived and several didn't die in the process.

The fact that this game does not contain harem, is female-female only, and contains death, as well as being in the horror genre does limit my audience I know; however, I am not trying, nor want to follow what a significant portion of devs create. I have every intention for this game to succeed and unfortunately, compared to many other devs (some amazingly brilliantly talented ones at that) this games growth in popularity and support is slow; however, I have not lost vision to this game and I will and am making something that will stand on it's own, especially in genre areas that are more lacking or for people who are just like "I want something different". And those that have shown an interest in my game, have given lovely and constructive feedback, follow it and/or have been/become a donor to help me continue making my vision really touches my heart. One past user said something along the lines that this games audience might be a lot smaller; however, a more loyal fanbase. So for those that find an appeal in my game(s) I thank them for following and enjoying development, whilst those that are not into what I'm making, I simple thank them for visiting the thread and hope that they'll find other games that will meet their preferred tastes. :)

Of course, my response is not an annoyed, nor a hostile response bare in mind, but a clarification not just to your question, but to anyone else who wonders on this topic. :) :cool: ;)

So genuinely and I mean it, thank you for asking a tough topic question.

I haven't played, but I guess the killer hasn't shown up yet, right?

I'd like to know if it's a deranged lunatic like Leatherface or one of the chicks with a typical revenge story about something from the past?

No paranormal tag, so no ghosts or undead :LUL:.

I think it's better to stick to your vision, than trying to chase for a larger audience in a project you won't have the heart to do.
And I don't say that because I prefer female protagonist game and lesbian over straight content.
OK, I say it a bit because of that, but not only :)

That doesn't mean you can't listen to players, or make changes during the development.
But at the end, the game will be better if it's the one you wanted to make.

:love:I like FemMC, Michelle, Vanessa, Samantha, then Tara, (and also Tanya)!

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Thank you for visiting this thread and for leaving your lovely comment. :) I sincerely hope that you'll enjoy this game as future versions come out.

As I've previously hinted the number of different "routes" that you can follow with the girls will be to a very limited number, which is understandable given the nature of the sort of game that I'm making. Any "other" girls who are not as of Chapter 2 officially in the in-game journal listed as "main love interests" aka camp crushes who may/may not get added in the future I won't reveal as I like to be quite tight-lipped on the spoilers that I reveal, which so far everyone have appreciated on the three releases so far.

FeedbackSurvey.png
HAPPY TUESDAY EVERYONE! as posted also on Patreon & Itch.io I have now opened up the feedback survey for the latest release. I'd appreciate those of you that can take 5-10 minutes of your time to answer the ten questions which helps me gauge how you, the audience found the latest release. I'd like to thank those who participate in this survey as your feedback is vital to the success of Fairwood Retreat. That, and as always from the bottom of my heart, thank you for all of your support so far!

Camper plus tiers on Patreon will have access to answering a few additional questions on a Camper tier + only Patreon post, which will help give me further in-depth feedback. Camper + tiers are also asked to please do the general survey as well, as the additional questions do not contain the ten standard questions being collected for this latest release. Thank you.

Feedback Survey 0.3 (Chapter 2)


As always, thank you so much for your support! A significant majority of you have been giving me great praise for the last chapter, which I'm chuffed to bits with, so thank you! I hope that you're all well, and are keeping yourselves safe!

Until next time,
~ Aya
