Too bad you didn't use Caroline from power vacuum - now there is a sexy and good looking little redhead

She is. Jessie from here also is a sexy and good-looking little redhead IMO. Everyone has different tastes.
People who think Jessie can't be 18 clearly have very limited experience with how some 18 year old women look. I've seen plenty of 18 year olds that have similar body type to what Jessie has. Hell reminds me of the case where American guy got charged with CP when he had porn video of Lupe Fuentes, Lupe herself had to come and testify in court that she was 19 when she made that video, because she had similar look that Jesse has.
A pretty good game clearly undervalued in terms of support and monitoring. Every day I understand people less. There are games out there with much less quality in story with much more success than this one. Right now, even if I had an artificial intelligence working for me to make a game, I would have no idea what parameters to enter to be successful. Most of the time it seems random.
edit - Now I'm home so i'll flesh this out...
It is random to a degree, but mostly it's a formula.
Attractive characters
Likeable characters (distinct things)
Consistent setting
Understandable MC
Thematic story.
Attractive and likable characters are because each character you add is a chance to appeal to the consumer. Likeable doesn't have to be positive either, you can have a villain or side character that people "love to hate" and that still qualifies. But attractive is to appeal physically and likeable is an emotional appeal in general and you need both or the character is tolerable and forgettable. peoples interests vary but they are generally clumped, not fully random even on an individual basis.
Setting... doesn't need anything amazing funny enough. You just need to be consistency with your setting. Don't establish things you will later contradict because ideally your consumer will get invested in the story and every setting change, every subversion of expectations... is a good chance for the consumer to feel lied to. It's better to be totally predictable than it is to have a bad plot twist. A good twist though is beast, but is hard to pull off so it's a question of risk.
Mc... you don't have to have much here frankly, you just need to have them act in ways that make sense. Even in a choose your own adventure format each option available has to make sense in what you have shown of the character already. Narrative is the vehicle by which you reveal things not decision or action points in stories.
Thematic story is the biggest dice roll. Pick a theme that interests you and try to do it justice. Part of it is how well you tie everything else together but there's so much under the hood that this one is the closest to "random" you get. It's not really, but it might as well be until you get good at telling a story.
overall the random factor to story is essentially exposure which is only pseudo random. How well you reach the target audience is a factor of that too, so really its just exposure... and thats somewhat random but not really. the randomness to it mostly is that you can blow up without trying.
on the topic of little regina this is my entirely subjective analysis with the statement that i /like/ the game thus far though i havent seen the latest update yet, but was otherwise caught up i believe... though its been a little bit. because only the primary two love interests (jessie and christa) and the MC have been fleshed out to any real degree, those are the only three characters i will address.
critical analysis is frequently taken personally and poorly so i'm going to try and keep my opinions distinct from what seems to be empirical reality... and keep my actual opinions out of it as best i can. i am only doing this to give a benchmark for what i said above in context of a game that you have played and maybe the slim chance that its addressed intentionally or not as the game goes on.
attractiveness -
specifically the first two romantic interests shown are absolute polar opposites in terms of taste. on one hand, you have a redheaded piper perri, and on the other you have she-nan the barbarian. no issues with this but most people are going to heavily favor one or the other.
likeability -
character depth is good, with the player being given ample reason to like jessie almost immediately, if for no other reason than she is absolutely adorable. this is counterbalanced by her tendency to play machiavelli which most people do not like.
Christa on the other hand... christa in a nutshell is a proven danger to herself, jessie and the main character. she is also proven to have absolutely no loyalty /to/ the main character, developed or otherwise. the source of all of that is because she is incredibly insecure and frankly the weakest character of all the ones shown as a direct contrast to her physical appearance and apparent overall ability.
consistent setting - i do not see any inherent contradictions so no reason to really comment here. looks good.
understandable MC - starting off with a background was a solid way of building up a somewhat broken main character. it gives people the ability to understand why his reactions to certain things as in general a particular skillset doesnt need to be explained no matter what it is. so nothing really to say here.
instead i will give a general example - what i mean by a particular skillset is just that, a limited skill. it is assumed that everyone is going to have interests and a personal history, so even without going into why its understandable that someone knows about mechanics, computers, languages /or/ business. if you give a character too many skills however, you /must/ have a good explanation of why.
Story -
so far the story is about a bunch of broken people taking a bad circumstance and healing from it (a personal favorite theme of mine)... on the other hand the only one who is actually shown to be healing is the MC. Jessie's big flaw is her manipulation of everyone around her, but the primary change she has shown is a loyalty shift and an aggressive protectiveness towards the MC. thats not a big deal as her flaw isnt much of one realistically, but it is worth noting.
Christa not only is not healing but actively getting worse as the story progresses, going from low key paranoia with the built hobo who "just happened across two vulnerable girls" to flares of high level aggression and violence specifically towards the MC, back to what most charitably can be described as betrayal by inaction but more accurately is her actively betraying him and putting him in a circumstance where the likely outcome is harm up to and including death for everyone around her.
overall its not a bad game and has most everything covered that i mentioned, but /if/ i am correct in analysis and experience... you can sort the audience by who prefers christa and who prefers jessie... and of those who prefer christa, i would imagine most wouldnt stay as is. the ones who like jessie, some portion of them will leave from frustration with christa.
as to the storyline elements... its not advertised by its story, the synopsis says little to nothing about any of the characters nor the trend of the story beyond 'getting involved with each others messes' so the primary draw is going to be aesthetic, not narrative.
the easiest way to draw more people is to highlight the story better on the original post i think... but what would be harder to do is fix christa's narrative sooner rather than later, because theres not much reason to stick around specifically for her, but there is reason to bail because of her.
analysis basically over and i will restate out of abject paranoia and the fact it sounds otherwise - i like the game. i understand the characters well enough and why they are why they are in terms of what has been shown thus far. it makes sense and i've zero commentary on that basis. and finally i /like/ the characters well enough to continue playing and be hopeful for the story progression.

Christa is the biggest downfall of this game. Shes depicted as badass girl, but the further story goes the further she reveals herself as miserable woman who doesnt deserve sympathy or respect. From her partner choices, where she WILLINGLY spreaded her legs to literal scum in the past, who treated her like shit, which is only her responsibility and fault and noone else, to her numerous betrayal and undeserved mistreating towards MC. I know one woman who is like Christa and as far as I know from acquaintance, she nowadays have serious problems to find herself loving decent man, because in reality noone with dignity and self respect will ever chose her as love partner and show support, respect and love to this kind of woman who doesnt respect herself, her body and have this amount of mental issues behind her back. If MC instead of support and understanding gave her some hard to swallow pills like he did with other women and put her in her place by firm hand for her mistreating, backstabbing and poor life choices it would be way more logical, fair and enjoyable.

That, there, gamer, is victoria secret level beauty and smarts for you.
Absolutely gorgeous women get mistreated as they themselves mistreat others.
Laws of the strongest in looks apply: law no. 1 -I am the prettiest therefore you will worship me and law no. 2 - I and I alone am afforded the luxury to be the idol to countless others just like you, as I alone am the pretty idol. There is this tale of such life and what it gets you in the tale of Snow White - it is the path of the foster mother.
Should you look anywhere about who they date or marry, you will find either guys who are just as much scumbags as them - good looking but nothing about relationship or even actual kinship ever crossing their beautified minds of theirs, or just well known fuck boys who either have the money and do not care how many they punctuate and abbandon, or top tier gorgeous tools who like being the present in the birthday cake then leave the next morning in search for another birthday girl to stuff.
She is riddled with that stigma for life: self-conscious guys treat her like the tool she is, her peers treat her like some rag to get off to while rubbing her all the wrong ways and she is trapped inside her beauty cage for ever: being handed stuff for being beautiful or being mistreated for it as the way to get any reaction outta her. This is what makes actually meeting beautiful folk and make meaningful relationships with them, outside of a hook up or some party you manage to both be at, the crux of it IRL.
MC and us by proxy are torn between putting her in her place and angering Foxy - damned if we do and damned if we do not.
MC made the wonderful pledge to his bethrothed to always, in hardship and in death, fend for Christa. The way we see their dynamics unfold is a direct and utterly straightforward consequence of MC doing anything and everything for Christa outta sheer devotion to his GF, so it does not matter what Christa does or how she is treating MC right now, MC will allways look out for her and he will take blows and position himself between danger and her as his life mission: make Foxy happy no matter what.

We all have seen her shag and forget persona, stands to show you she would do such tactics before to soften up her peers or the guys she has to get along with, but for her it is just a rub down, nothing else, nothing more.

I'm liking this Jessie/Dawn rivalry, my only complaint is that I wish Dawn was an actual love interest. Oh well, I still accepted her advances even though I know that it will probably lead to some kind of bad ending.

I liked this game, a romance would be great, Protagonist x Christa x Jessie.

Hey Fella, I'm sorry but I have nothing good to report. On Jan 10th I came down with covid again. It is much much worse than last time. I didn't even know it was possible to be so sick. Normally when I'm sick I get a little something done but not with this, my brain is like in a fog.
I hope I'm coming through it and I'll try to write another update when I am
Have a good day and take care

Hope you get better soon, I was down with it a couple weeks ago and it was pretty miserable. I also get what it is like to work with that. Just rest and get back to being healthy people can wait for an update.

Hey Fellas
I am again mostly covid free. I'm back to work and back to developing too. I have finished the rewrite of 0.43 (It's more naughty than first planned) and gonna start in Daz to get some renders going. I have also got some first drafts for tattoos done.
Thank you for all the kind words and concern, I really appreciate it.
Have a good day and take care
