The college girls aren't side pieces. They were set as LI way back in chapter 2.

Back when I started with old chapter 1, I was leaning towards splitting the game down the middle as you've mentioned. At the time I was a very, very gullible developer thinking I could do it with a goddamn GTX 760. I could barely load more than 2 characters yet I was a dreaming about super large crowds and wide open, detailed areas.

However, I'm changing the direction into try and incorporate both areas. I always intended to do multiple time-skips to show MCs progress into not just fitness but also education, maturity, discipline and physical appearance. This was set to take place over a 5 year period.

Now In Chapter 5, MC WILL head back to college, do his thing with the ladies, take his exams and meet up with his buddies.

Right now, the three morality stats have shown hints of coming out here and there but at the end of ch5 is when they'll (Lineage, Legacy and Descent) points come into full-play and have 3 separate paths.

I just hope my gullibleness hasn't evolved into naivete.

Thank you for your answer. It was always a concern of mine with this game moving forward to be honest but with your answer I feel more at ease now. While it's early in Chapter 4 I never got the feeling there were going to be alot of time skips in the game with how things been progressing with the relationships overall. So that's why I was always a bit concerned about the direction. But so far this is a top 10 game for me so I look forward to the next update I am sure I will like what you do with this game.

Also one side question I didn't think of asking till now. Is there any plans to put this on steam eventually even if it's not until the game is completed.

You're welcome.
The more I think about steam the less I want to put it there. It's almost like it's not meant to be but I'll see what the future holds.

Definitely surprised that Alejandra was a sleeper waifu for a lot of guys. And also that Lili was so low. Honestly expected them to be opposites.

For those who voted for the top 6, congrats!
For those who didn't, don't fret. I might use one of the girls as a side-piece/one-off fling.

After this poll, the Official list of Love Interests are as follows:

  1. April
  2. Costanza
  3. Eliza
  4. Fiona
  5. Kaylee
  6. Linda
  7. Natasha
  8. Piper
  9. Savannah
  10. Sylvia
  11. Torrie
Now that the selection is clear, expect future content to be focused on these ladies and for those who are vary about development burden and what not, It's okay. I've got a good amount of time in these three months to put a tight plan together without it feeling forced.

Thank you for your game, I wish you the best.

Yeah, it's disheartening seeing some devs of very good games burnout or give up because of scope creep. All these ideas and aspirations for what they want to do, but then 4 updates in they find it's too much. Too many variables/branching paths they have to now code and write for. I'd dread trying to code/write for some of the games i've seen that has 15+ LI. :WutFace:

Syl wasn't a choice, but glad to see my two choices finished first and second. Natasha FTW!

I voted April. Definitely a worthy LI.(y)

Mikaela, the other entry I voted for didn't get much love, only more than Ae-cha.:LOL:
I thought she was good for a bad boy MC route.:cool:

11 main love interests seems like it'll be hard to manage though.:eek:
Lots of side-pieces is a good idea for the degenerate MC route.(y)

yeah while Mikaela wasnt anywhere close to being a favorite of mine, she seems to have a good story setup. Tho I bet we will still get that cause if I recall it's connected to Kaylee I forget exactly but looks like one of the LI was buying drugs from her think it was Kaylee.

Really the only one that isn't on the list I was hoping for was June with the whole wanting to keep things a secret from Fiona could been a fun little bit to explore. Tho she could always get the Quinn from BAD treatment and still have that MG feel while technically still being a side piece that shows up here and there and we still get to see some of that.

June seemed all right. At one point I had her confused with Torrie though.:LOL:
I hope Grace and June are sidepieces. I never saw them as more than that.

Regarding Mikaela, that would be sweet. Quinn's arc in BAD is great.

I'm surprised that Savannah is well-liked.
My MC is still traumatized by her for taking his cherry.:ROFLMAO:
Didn't want it to be you Savannah, you should have been disqualified for that.:D

yeah I have mix feeling about June while she is kind of mid for me compared to the other LI I like. the whole wanting to keep things secret from Fiona thing is why I was never sure if she was a side piece or not till the recent post from the dev cause it does give mixed signals to me.

I didn't think about that Mikaela be perfect for that as well.

June would definitely be a good homewrecker for Fiona's story.
Throw Grace in the mix. She possibly owes the MC a favor.

I'm surprised that May wasn't in the poll.
I hope that the bodycount stat is truly made use of, and you can bed all of them, for a degenerate MC route.:sneaky:

I had a lot of fun playing this game but chapter 4 was a bit weird my mc isn't rude at all he has the respect stat at high.The mc is all sweet with his sister first and then gets aggressively rude to her which also feels put of character atleast from all three chapters I played.But apart from that little problem the game is great definitely in my top 5 from the games which are currently still going.Also was too late for voting would have voted for Mikaela she different and interesting.

April is a great addition, her and Sylvia are easily my top 2, with Eliza and Kaylee behind them, I still need to go back through and get all the Costanza content, but she's pretty cool too. Piper, however, was a real letdown, obviously her content is just getting started, but after making a nice first impression, she face-planted pretty hard in this update. Not giving the player a choice to dance with her, making her grind up on some rando, and then just nuking the party scene after like 2 minutes is just a strange decision. Are we supposed to actually like Piper after this?

As an aside, MC is a moron for not realizing that a girl who literally told him she had never flirted back with a guy, was a virgin, seems pretty obvious.
