I'm pretty sure that quote is from more than two years ago, at this point. :'D So, the project has undergone a lot of changes since then. I don't see it happening for 95% of the girls, if only because I'm not super interested in it narratively. That remaining 5% is Brittani, because I still have an idea for her dark/corruption paths where MC tanks her movie, and guides her towards being a different type of actress. But, there's also every possibility that by the time I get there, I decide it would be better for her to be more of an OnlyFans/e-girl type, who shoots content exclusively with a face-blurred MC. Who can say! The future is yet to be written.
Britt's audition is going to be pretty substantial for her character arc. It's not just going to be fluff/filler. And I'm going to try to get it out no more than two months after the release of Chapter 11.
One reason I want to pivot towards doing mini-chapters between chapters, is because they're honestly just so much easier to write. Look at it like this: Say I want to do Britt's audition, in Chapter 11. Say it comes after Gabby's scene. Now, Gabby's going to have four scene variations: love, friend, corruption, and dark. I have to do all those scenes, and two of them likely won't be taking place in the same location as the other two. So, now I have to write and render Gabby's scene, and connect it to Brittani's scene within the story. So, each time Guy has to do the, "Hm, time to go see Brittani.." thing. Then, after Brittani's scene, I probably have to have an outro from each path connecting it to whatever comes after. That kind of minutiae is what's exhausting and mind-numbing, when it comes to FiN.
But, if I can just do an in media res opening, where Guy's already at the studio with the supporting cast, just waiting for Brittani to arrive? Way easier. Way faster. Way less Neon tears.
