BrittaniBut hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
BrittaniBut hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
Brittani, with Madison second. I want what i'm not supposed to have, lol. I do wonder why Madison isn't more popular, she's the classic married MILF. I'm interested in seeing how the Nice Guy route will play out with her because she really loves her husband and seems a long way off cheating on him willingly.But hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
FavoritesBut hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
NickiBut hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
Probably Carolina, though admittedly we've seen very little of her and I may be projecting my preferences on a relatively blank slate. But so far she's attractive, mature and has a nicely sarcastic sense of humor. And Maya is cute, which doesn't hurt. Second place is Ashe; I definitely like her, but I get the impression my preferences would be a little boring for her long term.But hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
NGL, that makes me a little worried Hopefully nothing too drastic?And I do have plans to tone down some elements of Chapter One, so it makes more sense when Nicki does come back.
"Also at least three girls have dicks now"Honestly, if I just did what was popular, the menu screen would look like this. :'D

TBH man, it's constantly switching moment-to-moment because the writing is so good that I'm just down for w/e character comes my way It's very hard to choose. That said, maybe so far I'm leaning towards Gabbi. If the question becomes characters we haven't seen as much (if at all) that I'm most looking forward to, though... Mason looks interesting and like (s)he maybe has a kink or two that I'll like And Cassie and the "mother" certainly has me extremely excited... can't wait to see what you come up with there!But hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
Viola, Nicki and Ashe.But hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?

This is probably the most 'level headed' answer I've seen, and I've got to agree. I'm in my late 20's. I just don't have the mental energy to deal with high school level immaturity. Gabby 100% acts her age. Solution there is honestly just time and experience. The only character so far I would describe as 'a kid'.Probably Carolina, though admittedly we've seen very little of her and I may be projecting my preferences on a relatively blank slate. But so far she's attractive, mature and has a nicely sarcastic sense of humor. And Maya is cute, which doesn't hurt. Second place is Ashe; I definitely like her, but I get the impression my preferences would be a little boring for her long term.
Beyond that, the other girls go something like this:
- Nicki: I like her as a friend, but by her own admission she's not in the right headspace for a proper relationship right now and I don't want to lead her on.
- Brittany: I liked her a lot more than I was expecting to. The problem is that after her tear-filled soliloquy about how much she craved the normalcy of her boyfriend's family there's no way I'm pulling a creepy old man on her. She's just too effective an actress, I guess.
- Madison: I've no interest in breaking up a (seemingly) happy marriage.
- Gabby: I realize she'd be pissed off to hear me say it, but she just doesn't seem mature enough for such a lopsided relationship. Hopefully she'll grow up a bit if we keep things strictly above board.
- Cassie: I'm so sick to death of incest that I'd pass even if I had the Taboo patch running.
- Mason: Can't judge until their story actually starts.
- Alex, Viola, Pepper: They've barely made an impression in the little I've interacted with them.
First place is honestly between Viola and Brittani. Our interaction with Viola so far is very, very brief (assuming you choose not to be an asshole), but it shows a lot of potential room for developing a relationship with her, and I like where that is going. In both directions, actually.But hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
For me it's Nicki by quite a ways, I like her look the most and her story is the most interesting/developed.But hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
Gabby ofc ; but I find my second place a tie between Brittani and Viola ; i can smell drama on the both of them and they are so cute....But hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing... some people are really, really sensitive I guess? Like, I understand if you're being preached at, although I don't think anyone likes it when things are too on-the-nose, even if they're in support of it, as that's just bad writing imo. But everything Neon's written so far is just traditional good VN stuff, i.e. put a character forward to the player and let them decide on what to do. Like everyone else, I have my own political opinions and what not on sex and gender today (among other things), but my god, ree-ing over something as minor as the mere inclusion of (what appears to be) an LGBT character is just embarrassing and makes whoever these guys are look like terminally online weirdos 'Variety is the spice of life' is a motto I agree with here.And while I don't want to start an argument or something, I am seriously wondering, what is your LGBTQ agenda?
The only thing I can think of is that Mason seems quite genderfluid for now, but I admit I just figured they were a girl trying to hide that fact, to live a little safer on the streets.
Brittani number one with Nikki as a close second. Nikki is a fuck up but c'mon, she was *fucked* by the bf (legit forgot his name). The only mistake she made was going back. She got rammed up the ass with everything after that. And honestly, she has some huge fucking ovaries to get out of the situation she was in and make it back to MC safely. Bad things can happen to anyone with just the smallest bad decision. I think she definitely gets way more hate/non-interest than she deservesBut hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
Brittani for sure, with Nikki being a close second. Nikki is an idiot, but a loveable one. Her dark path is also pretty interesting.But hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
I really like your take of giving stereotypical girls more depth and characters.I will say this -- I don't let the popularity of any of the girls dictate how much screentime they get. If anyone goes back and reads this thread when I first showed Gabby's character design, reviews were not kind. But, I knew I could make people love her, once they got to know her. I also regularly get excoriated on a few pirate sites for pushing my 'LGBT agenda,' but I think next chapter will show I'm not shying away from things that might piss people off.
The truth is, girls like Nicki, Gabby, and Brittani are well-represented for the moment, because that's where the story's at. Nicki's drama began the story and then came back in force with Chapter 3, but now she's easing into a supporting role. Gabby's story with her dad is a persistent mystery, and MC's pending redesign of the bookstore gives him a lot of reasons to be there, interacting with Gabby and Madison. Gabby's story is directly connected with Brittani, which then feeds into her drama surrounding her and her family.
But, as was teased in the last update, there's something swirling around Ashe that MC needs to investigate, Carolina's constantly in his periphery, and Viola's home situation is due for some attention. Eventually, everyone will get their shine. Some people just need MC more right now. But, once their needs are met, he can move on to helping other people.
Honestly, if I just did what was popular, the menu screen would look like this. :'D

As for polls, I'd like to start polling for popularity once everyone's gotten their fair share of screentime. Right now it'd be really skewed, I think. In the short term, my plan is to do polls for which under-represented character people would like to see a scene with, and then use the winner to decide who gets a date/sex scene, provided it fits into the framework of the chapter.
When it comes to my favorite? Oof! Tough question! I love them all for different reasons. I try to give all of them distinct voices that make them all fun to write dialogue for, and they all serve different interests of mine. Tomboy, brat, bimbo, MILF, goth, Russian, muscles.. The broad descriptors of each girl are basically my PornHub search history. :'D But then I get to subvert those in interesting ways. Nicki's a tomboy who occasionally likes to show her girly side to her crush. Gabby's a brat who's really got a big, sensitive heart. Ashe is a bimbo with some surprising depth and empathy. On and on.
Right now, I'm finding the most fun in combining characters for scenes, letting them riff off each other. I'm in the plotting stage for Chapter 5, and I've been sketching out a dialogue scene between Risa and Maya that I think will be terrific.

Buuuuut, gun to my head, my favorite is probably Nicki. I love her model, and her 'voice' is super comfortable for me to write in. My top three would likely be Nicki, Gabby, and Alex.

So far, 1st best in no order would be Nicki, Gabby and BrittaniBut hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?
