Well, the current version, as far as I've played it, has two ! scenes regarding the mother. In one, she fucked some random guy and wasn't really pleased about it, and in the other she complained to somebody how degenerate her two children are. The ! would indicate the scenes are new, but I seem to remember them from before.
So to put this into perspective...
Diane was sort of a loose element when I first started, I debated making her an older sister or something instead, but she stayed as is when I managed to figure out the plot a bit better.
When I did figure it out though, it became very clear she would not be of much interest for the player in that she's not a very nice person. So I floated the idea of giving her a visual overhaul, but I was faced with resistance when I talked about it.
I kept writing the story and even though she's kind of a cunt, people wanted more content with her. From as much as I could gather, they wanted some sex scenes and since Mark is off the table, which I've talked about
multiple times I opted for someone else to fill that void. It fits her character to do something like this and just kind of falls into place quite well.
Now to the part which I was kind of surprised about. Even though I've repeatedly mentioned that I don't want to make any parent child content, some have expressed disappointment over this scene. It never occurred to me that anyone would be displeased by seeing someone they find attractive have sex. Although in all fairness I do enjoy voyeur/exhibitionism, so maybe that's a part of it.
Personally I see now problem with her sleeping with someone else because she's a plot element, she'll not be involved in any sexual way with the rest of the cast, which leaves masturbation scenes, which sure... I can do that too. My fear is that this won't be enough and I'll still hear about people wanting more "sexual" scenes with her or something like it.
Now... I can remove it/replace it, because it serves no purpose other than pleasing the people who've asked for it. That said, a lot of people who comment on this particular scene generally dismiss the game outright before even trying it just because of this very minor detail. To me those kinds of people are not a huge loss, which might seem a bit dismissive or arrogant, but it's my general feeling as of now.
Maybe I'll change it, maybe I won't, only really time will tell.
I've also planned to have Diane in my next project, so there will be more of her in the future, albeit with a visual overhaul for the better.
hahaha Fasder, i do not care too much what that mother does, since she is mainly a cunt until now, with a very slight hint she might actually have something that comes close to feelings. Now if you manage to change her into someone that more or less willingly gets into a relation with Marc and Sara and stay realistic I will be a bit amazed, but likely the willing would be more from her side as Marc or Sara's.
I have a pretty clear vision for what's in store for the future, she was never intended to be part of the "main cast" as it doesn't really make any sense with what I have yet to write on the story.
