Hey, hey friends! Hope you're all well this week!
Rendering work on the Chapter 1 remake has officially begun, now that I have most of the script completed. I still need to finish up a couple scenes, but I've got enough runway to keep me busy doing the artwork for February. I'll keep working on the script in the meantime, and hopefully wrap that up in the next couple weeks. It'd be great to switch my writing time to focus on Chapter 11 in March, while I finish working on Chapter 1's renders.
Up top, you'll see two of my finalized renders -- one depicting our hero as a younger man, and another from the present day. While we don't spend a lot of time with Young Guy in Chapter 1, I really enjoyed getting to write a version of our hero, before life just kicked his ass. Plus, tired, miserable Guy sans extraordinary wealth? That's also a lot of fun.
But, as much fun as it is to discuss our oft-dejected hero, let's turn to.. Nicki! The attached render is just a test, hence the unfinished posters on the wall. But, I dig it. A lot of people were kind of upset (for various reasons) when Nicki appeared in Chapter 2 covered in tattoos. Many wanted her to go back to her original look, and for me to hand-wave the entire thing by having her go get them lasered off. While that was never going to happen, I hope this remake gives them all the un-tattooed Nicki they can handle.
Besides showcasing our freckled femme in all her natural glory, it's also been nice to shore up some early plot issues, that had long bothered me. When I started writing this story, I had this version of Guy and Nicki's relationship in my head, where they were work friends, and not really best friends. I think it was so I could contrive an explanation as to why she'd never seen his apartment, or why they'd never gotten together. Maybe something to do with the controlling nature of Brent and Nicki's relationship.. I'm sure I could've told you my reasoning a couple years ago, but I've long forgotten at this point.
But, as I continued writing the story, I kept writing Nicki and Guy as two people that had a deep familiarity with each other, which wouldn't be explained by a 9-to-5 friendship. So, the new and improved Chapter 1 will showcase a bit more of that close friendship, and iron out some of that stuff.
Good stuff ahead! At present I'm planning for a Chapter 1 release in late March. Until next time, take care of yourselves -- and thank you for your support!

Hmm, this made me wonder, if the first chapter was like that from the start if people would have found that it drags too much.
Ofc us want to see more of them, because we are already invested in the characters, but I'm curious how new players will perceive it.
I guess it depends on this.

Honestly the dynamic between Guy & Nicki was the first reason I continued playing the game after chapter one so I'm glad its going to get fleshed out some more.
I'll never forget when Nicki showed up at the door that day.

Just personal preference, but as a Navy vet, I accept discreet tattoos as a personal choice ... but find excessive or facial tats a BIG turnoff on any without Maori blood.
Nicki's decorations are a big part of her life choices and trials, and are not who she is today. With her changes and MC's largess, I could see some removal of most of them, yet leaving some modest reminders, hopefully decorative and an object lesson for her and others.
I admire the adventuresome twists and plot work.

My compound is in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
They can get directions from any of the FBI agents in unmarked cars surrounding the place.

my favorite scene in the game is the one right after that where she talks to the MC and explains everything she did while on her own. That is the scene that made me choose Nicki over anyone else well until Risa came in with her backstory now I like both the same but id probably still pick Nicki over Risa.

Risa is so hot Dess.
I remember wanting to carry her like a bride across the threshold during chapter nine.

chapter 9 made me want to put a ring on her and take her away from her dad. Not gonna lie her lewd scene in her house if you sweet and gentle to her she looked so hot one of my favorite lewd scenes in the game. First time I saw it made me quite horny lol.

lol we have the same ranking of Chapter 10 better than chapter 9 and I didn't even play any of Mason's sex scenes. It's a great chapter even without the Mason stuff had alot of good Nikki content , Viola stuff was cute as hell and made me love her character even more than finally the ending with Cassie made me go from I don't care much for her to I want her now!!! Which is funny cause she barley had any context or scenes yet but someone Neon made me love her with very little content

Any chapter that doesn't focus on Brittani, Ashe, Viola and now Cassie is a 0/10 for me. Cutting room floor material
Earlier chapter expressions were...well, they were.

No, I like her, I just meme a bit. She isn't my #1 LI, but she is my partner in crime. FWB, or just friends, never antagonistic, or abusive towards her on any of my saves.
She did get a lot of hate early on.

Some people apparently complained about her pretty badly at one point. It was before my time in the thread.
Don't confuse a few voices with everyone. Some people like her and some, for whatever reasons, don't.
The latter group is obviously wrong.
