None of those here, you're safe.

You have the smut queen writing porn and a lass who's hobby is burying her face in pussy.

It's a lady free zone.

Nothing but us pervettes ... like smurfette but less blue.

*gasps!*

Roger that. I think I'm keen on the Scarlet Pirate purely because, damnit, I want my smut too! ;) There are quite a few fem protags which have some nice concepts but never -quite- hit the mark. The rest of course are instant slut/rape games. But I'm getting the feeling that if I did do SP instead of another H5, I'd probs lose what little fanbase I have...So...side project by the looks unless I go full lesbian with it?
Well, who knows. I, for example, would be in for such a game that doesn't go full lesbian. But it would need to have a good variety of male characters, not just the assholes/creeps as it is standard. I usually quit games with female MC, just because I can't stand the constant abuse. There just aren't options to be more in control like with male MCs.

I would in all likelihood actually want to choose a guy as my main target playing female MC. It's not because I fancy them (I don't at all), but because it'd be interesting to play from the opposite perspective. But, I wouldn't rule out lesbian options either. At heart, however, I'm a sucker for male/female romance regardless of which gender I play as.:)


There's opportunities galore, and on a single player through you can have sexual encounters with more than one girl. I won't say romance because if you want -that- you may have to be more choosy. So, sure horndog as much as you wish (and why not!) but don't expect a massive harem ending. In this game you can shag 'em all - but only walk away with one...

Also, expect them to act realistically. I mean can you imagine meeting Chris, Sarah and Annie when you come down to breakfast on the morning they've all just realized you've slept with all three of them? :)
Hello, consequences. Fancy meeting you all here at the table. Any plans for today? How about doing something awesome at 4 pm? :D

*laughed -VERY- hard when she read that!*

Ten months, ten chapters :) I ain't aiming to string this one out. Alright we might have the odd delay but that's always going to be down to the render hamster.

Always glad to be good for a laugh. ;)

I like the idea of a sexy female space pirate (especially with long, red, curly hair, come-on, her name is scarlet!), and hey, as long as she is a lesbian or bisexual, the male encounters are optional, and she isn't getting raped at every other turn, then I am so down to play it! With you making it, I don't doubt that it will be a blast.

As long as you avoid a few tropes, I assume most of us would follow you into a black hole itself. I think most of us could be fine with her if she was bi, as long as we stick the the motto!

Considering Chris has been flirting and making out with them already, I don't really see a problem. :p

Indeedy! But speaking of games and chapters..

So whilst I'm sat here keeping an eye on the render hamster, I'm also polishing up the scripts for the last chapters. (well it gives me something to do, no?) and this leads to me to a question. An unfair one I know and one perhaps better asked once you've played Chapter Two. But, I'm already thinking broadly about my next project.

The first is a fem protag game about a pirate gal and her adventures, which would be in third person view as opposed to POV. This was originally called the "Sea Witch" but is now named after the character in one of Sarah's books (I was amused by the idea of me having my own shared universe!) so would now be the "Scarlet Pirate" instead.

The other option would be a second season of Heavy Five. It dawned on me that re-reading the ending....well, yeah a second season would be a possibility for sure.

They would need to be some cast changes for sure of course.

Any early thoughts?
Do the pirate game first, so you don't get creative burnout.

Chaps, thanks.

You all make some very valid points and you have some justifiable concerns. If not handled correctly a sequel could indeed be a disaster...

...but I wouldn't let that happen.

I trust you'll forgive me for not answering point by point (on my phone as the render hamster squeaks away) and quotes etc are a nightmare to do right.

IF, and it is an if, it were to be a sequel it would be the same protag. I say that for although the story doesn't end on a cliffhanger, it does end in a cracking way. I'll be honest and share, the ending popped into my head one day. I suddenly had an image of the very last scene - and that's what made me write the game. Now, this doesn't mean your story is fixed, but the arc is. Your choices do indeed matter. Who you romance, whether the mission is a success, what happens to and on Ophion, indeed whether even everyone even survives (and some you may decide you don't want to...) is all down to you. But your MC is not the only player in this game...

IF it were to be a sequel there would be no hard reset. I have a way to make the choices roll over story wise in a logical way that is actually manageable from a dev point but I'm finding your concerns to be really interesting. This is a superb sense check of will it work, is this what they'd want, which by myself I would be merely guessing or perhaps even missing a trick.

Please do carry on discussing this if you wish - I'm finding it really useful.
It would be interesting to to a time jump from Ophion after Heavy 5. You get a code that indicates which of the dozens of possible endings you got, this starts the game with the next V-Class coming to Ophion to solve problems. But you've got an issue of chaos: outcomes upon outcomes, which could be a total pain in the ass to account for.

The consequences of the first one can be introduced gradually. The beginning of the second season could be common and seemingly unrelated (e.g. different mission with a different crew) with the impacts of the previous decisions and endings appearing one at a time. Many smaller decisions can be ignored and unused, so I think there is flexibility in limiting how much of the stuff will carry over to the second story.
