Yeah about patreon goals, those are in a weird order now. It was fine when they weren't completed but whatever.
About the sex:
It's just my taste then. I like the buildup in games more than the actual sex events. Because after that, it's 'mission accomplished' and it's not that interesting anymore. At least that's what I like so that probably translates to how I make Midnight Paradise. DoD was 12 Episodes, Mrs Turner was fucked in EP 9 - that's at 75% completion. MP is nowhere near 75% done so I'm probably right on track here. (and yes, I guess I'm making more than the initially planned 18 updates)
Also, it was easier in DoD, since the MC had his powers and that lead to getting laid with the girls.
But here Connor has nothing like DoD MC's power, so it always feels weird to move fast with a 'household' character.
I agree in hindsight, side characters should have been fucked sooner. I focused a lot on the main girls and that's why I didn't take the time to add sex with side characters.
I'm also thinking about the finished game most of the time and not the periodic releases. I can always add side-objectives with sex later, to an earlier part of the game is it feels like it takes too long to reach a sex scene (which judging by the feedback it does).
