My apologies, I wasn't implying you were pestering Darkhound. Just people in this thread in general. About tiers being game design, as far as I know the only place tiers appear in the game is during the intro dialog as a means to select the initial girls for the island. Darkhound used the concept during his last redesign of the intro as what he had there before was confusing to new players. I believe the concept of tiers originated here in this thread as a means to measure the content for the girls.I am to lazy to look up who exactly introduced it, but it was one of the longtime residents of this thread.
No apologies needed, it is I that replied in a dry/terse manner.
I don't know where the tier concept originated, maybe Darkhound made it more explicit because of this thread feedbacks but I'm pretty sure he made his mind about it a long time ago.
I would not have the audacity to speak for him but from what I know he doesn't need "help" with the game concepts and roadmap.
Edit: a couple more weeks and all of this will be history anyways
The update will be huge and the boobs glorious. The new special characters will over shadow some of the regular low tier girls, at least that will be the case for me.
