Woo! Good to knowThe short answer is yes, I do plan to add more bonus content! The long answer is a little more complicated.
The next public build of the game will have the three short stories I've written, bundled into the compressed file as PDF or RTF documents. And when I eventually redo Chapter 1, I want to include the 'legacy' Chapter 1 as a bonus that you can play from the main menu.
As for these image sets.. I doubt I'll add them in the near future, but I could see them being in the final/complete version of FiN Part One, or whatever I call it. The internet being what it is, I've seen way too much interesting stuff lost to time. So, it'd be nice to future-proof that material, and collect it all into one place. But, I don't want to do it immediately, since it's designed to be a perk for my supporters. Plus, all that stuff is available for just $2, which I don't think is an unreasonable ask.
Now, the more interesting thing I'd like to do, which I've discussed a bit in the past (but maybe not here?) is a series of "What If" mini-games, which would basically be familiar scenes, but with different characters, leading to different situations. I did another post with some examples, like: What if Guy met Wren at a fundraiser, instead of Ashe? What if Guy paid Pepper to model swimsuits, instead of Viola/Gabby? What if Brittani worked at the Lawful Waffle instead of Pepper?

These would be a nice way for me to put out FiN-related content between updates, while not directly impacting the main story. And they'd play into the whole concept of choice/chance that is at the root of FiN's story.
(Though I think the Pepper one could honestly just be inserted directly into the story, without changing much.)
Just out of curiosity, would recreating those scenes & just swapping out the LI models be fast renders? Like, can you store scene positions & poses and transfer between the models? If so, that's really awesomely efficient use of dev time and is honestly brilliant imo. Then the only main thing you have to do is change the dialogue to work for the characters, although maybe have to change some poses too I guess depending on what the character requires, different reactions and what not. Sorry for the million questions btw, just really fascinating.
To expand on the other replies, think he said Alex & Risa are swapped now, so Risa is a main LI whereas Alex is a secondary. And ofc we can't forget dear Cassie who has yet to make her introductionthat reminds me brother I wanted to ask is the girl
with one leg a love interest
I think that would be interesting
not just because she's a person with a disability
but because she seems like she likes to take care of herself and not ask people for help
the MC on the other hand has a need to help people so I think
a love story with that Dynamic would be interesting
Yeah, it was a really nice break from the usual stuff you get on this site. Really nice tease and added an interesting dimension, someone egging on your perversions & fantasies (in a non-cringe way) instead of relying solely on Cassie to do that as almost all other devs would. And I'll bet that Ashe will still be pretty mortified if MC actually fucks Cassie, because even if it's a kink fantasy for her, most people can compartmentalize that and are still really freaked out when they bump into the real deal. That's going to be a real, real, real fun scene when it happenshonestly the roleplay scenes are my favorite. Never knew id be into that but I find the roleplay stuff alot hotter than when it's a reality within the context of the game.
Also, yet again, have to mention that good dialogue & pacing just changes everything so much. I hope more VN devs take the time to develop that skill because I think it has a lot to do with this game's success. Maybe people are getting sick of some of the low-effort silliness out there.
