Still, two weeks seems like enough to get it done, as long as I stay on track.

If you cut out things you didn't really need like sleep, full meals, showers/baths and any human interaction you could probably halve that.

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.

But hey, informal poll! Which girl is your favorite?

Nicki, hands down. She was the MCs friend first and then became his lover and confidant.

Much obliged, dude! I'm harder on myself than anyone re: release dates, so I'm always happy to have people remind me not to work myself to death.

Note to game developer: Please don't work yourself to death.
Pleas don't even work yourself to burnout. I will wait (as patiently as I can) for new updates, however long they take, so long as YOU are happy with the results.

tldr; I'm just crankin' away at the ol' Porn-o-tron 3000, trying to get to the finish line. Ashe's date continues to go well, but I've got a good little bit left to do.

There's at least two characters that'll have some significant pet play options, and one will definitely be on the good path.

Will she still wear that dress if her only experiences with MC were getting sodomised in an alley and fleeing in terror a few days later when she's out jogging and spots him in a park?

Is that a question only the mysterious Glitter Wraiths can answer?

Stop teasing us with Ashe perfect body in sexy clothes or without... :HideThePain:
And garterbelt/lace on stockings are better without shine, shining textile parts looks strange :oops:

Lots of textiles are shiny. Satin, silk, nylon, etc. It's a perfectly cromulent look.
