If we do get to take the LI on dates, I hope for something like dancing with Mason in public.
I like the dynamic of Mason not being sure if Guy is really okay being seen with him in public and this could be a god way to show him, he is.

And maybe for Risa, we could take her to a fancy restaurant or something?
I'm really getting excited with the possibility of dates.

Honestly I think I would rather take Risa to do something fun that she probably would never be allowed to do cause of her dad. Like take her to an amusement park , laser tag something like that. I imagine she probably been to fancy restaurants a good amount growing up. But I do think ending the date at some kind of restaurant before taking her to bed would be perfect.

Hey NeonGhosts I hope you don't mind but I did a little short story based on a date between Guy & Mason I thought I would share.

My brother passed away last month, and FiN has really helped me feel better during this shitty time in my life, so I just had to write a very short story.

Maybe. I think I'd take Mason to the fancy restaurant. You might, or might not be seen if you go dancing. If you go to a fancy restaurant you definitely will be - by fancy people. Plus from Mason's POV he would go from homeless to five star dining in a week. Even if it's subconscious it might let him know that the bad old days are over. As for Risa, I think I'd just ask her what she wanted to do. I get the impression that people don't do that often. She's either being told what to do, or even if she's going on a date, people have a carefully planned itinerary that is supposed to impress her - she might want dinner at McDonalds and then to shoot some pool.

kind of what my idea was for Risa take her somewhere to have fun. then a small simple place for dinner like McDonalds or Applebee's or something lol. Tho I didn't think to ask her what she wanted to do

Somehow I suspect that if she wants low budget food we'll end up at the Lawful Waffle - keeps Neon from having to do new backgrounds/locations.

id hope for the option to pick between there or the place Brittani works at forget the name. That way we can choose which character she meets.

Chesty Cheetahs is the name. And yeah, imagine going there with Risa I bet she'd love it.

One of the two - but I wouldn't give us a choice if I were Neon - it should be about which character he wants her to meet. I wouldn't write in a split path based on where Risa wanted to have dinner. He could even have her meet neither at this point - just have whichever girl not working that day. I'm all for paths and this game has a lot of them, but he should be careful about when/where he puts them and why.

When it comes to the possible dates the good thing is they can be pretty self contained if the LI doesn't interact with another LI.

Yeah, I mean it should depend on Neon's story - we shouldn't have a path where Risa has met Pepper and another path where Risa has met Brittani unless Neon has a good reason for it. I mean, all that said, we're worrying about things for no reason. We're just speculating about possible dates - which may not even happen. Who knows what Risa would want to do if you asked her. It might be none of the stuff we've said.

Can't wait to take Gabby to Chesty Cheetahs to see her momma on the posters and me flirting with her archnemesis.

Hey, hey! Hope you're all doing well this week, friends!
I'm still largely focused on writing the script for the remade Chapter 1, with my efforts currently centered on the love path ero scene. I'm pretty excited about this one, because I get to right a wrong that had long bothered me about Chapter 1, which sort of undermined Nicki and MC/Guy's dynamic.. No spoilers, but it's a change that I think makes for a big improvement.
But, while I'm writing, I'm still doing some test renders which may end up being used in the final product. Enter: Brent! Look at him -- such a douche. Many of you know that I'm a big fan of comics, and when I write Brent, I've tried to cast him in the model of characters like

. He's not really a bad guy, in the macro sense. But he's an unbearable asshole to be around, because he's a selfish, short-sighted moron. These qualities also just make him super fun to write.
Finally, in my continuing efforts to liven up these posts a bit, I've attached a little homage to the movie Secretary. Starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader, this was one of the first movies I saw that seriously explored the whole dom/sub dynamic in a way that was nuanced and interesting. If you've never seen it, maybe give it a watch! It's super sweet and funny, while also addressing some of the feelings of shame that tend to be at the core of being wired differently, when it comes to love and sex.

I'll leave you with that today! I should be starting in on actual rendering work by month's end, and then my updates will hopefully be a bit more exciting and informative. But, until then -- take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!

Oh man, I loved Secretary. I also seriously recommend people watch it if you haven't already. It's sexy, thrilling, sad, happy, serious, funny, everything and it's crafted so exceptionally! Easy to fall in love with the characters and identify with them in some way; I found myself identifying with both of them when I watched it.. oh, forever ago now. I'd love for a Nicki romance path scene reenacting that! :love:

And about Risa, I think she tried to order fast food when her and Guy made it to her house, but her lame butler mentioned keeping her figure. Pfft. So you're actually on point Pixillin'. Haven't had fast food in forever, but one of the best ff burgers I ever had, funny enough, was at DQ. Would love to hang out there with her, bet she'd like the change of pace :coffee::geek:
