College poll
In our last poll, over half of our Patrons voted to send Max to college. So today, we're going to have a follow-up poll about the first thing he should focus on.
Well, we say the first thing, but really some of our plans will happen before that. Before letting you choose Max's first adventure, first we have to add basic mechanics of Max going to college. Ann is going to drive Max and Alice to college now that she doesn't have a job.
On the one hand, this is just a silly game and whatever happens, happens, and 20 years from now who's going to give a rip?
On the other hand, it's a bit fascinating to see the dysfunctional thought process that the dev has employed in both BB and now, Glamour. In the former, the cameras became the nexus of massive logic and plot holes. Max has to go look inside windows? Wait, doesn't he have cameras in those rooms? Those two streams were crossed and the game started breaking down on several levels.
Now, midway through this game, we are beginning to see changes in direction and the same unraveling of the central theme which is going to lead to another crash and burn. The school was set up to provide a cursory collegiate education (had to be legit in some aspects, plus, we can assume that because the club caters to the rich and connected, they don't want dumb hicks servicing their members) and BDSM affiliation. It has already been both explicitly stated that everyone in the college is being trained. Everyone is being subjected to authority in regard to sexual acts. That includes Alice. So how does the dev intend to maintain that structure and not throw on an NTR label? If he does, then I would surmise many will complain and whine and throw poo. If he does not, one of the central, dominant themes of the story just gets thrown in the trash. Either way, there is only a crash and burn in the future.
As I've previously stated in this thread, the most viable option for this endeavor was to thoroughly flush out Kate's story. It had some uniqueness to it and was following a coherent and believable progression. But for whatever reason, this dev is either unwilling or incapable of linear progression. And another game with potential starts circling the drain.
Tip: for anyone contemplating creating a game such as this, write the story in its entirety before you ever make the first CG.
