1) It's a complex issue. Let's assume that the game is set in a universe where I set the other games. That created a general storyline of various characters. At this point in this game (about halfway through the story ) There are many different paths. At some point I need to reset these paths to zero, otherwise further development of the game becomes impossible. That's why I put an end to the season. From now until the end of the season things will happen that will narrow the scenarios.hi, me again
1 it scares me when i hear about new season, since you moved to ren'py the game may grow for years - size wise until you actually need to move to next season. this is not the case of using unreal 4 or 5 engine. keep expanding this one !
2 the tycoon part could be left to the recruiting and generating just a little cash, maybe add a scene with mc on poll through your patreon, i kind of hoped to get a rain/pink/mc scene or rebeca/rain/mc scene. the way you pic a girl for insta or the magazine, than get cash, simple use of a pro code
3 i would happily help you with paths, i'm useless as a coder but i have a good memory and lots of time lately. maybe sort the story rpg wise : main paths irene + maud/kristen , secondary paths available girlfriends and a little ffm / jelousy play, fillers with porn tycoon, strip joint and the ocasional one night stands. it may also help with your patreon higher level patreons to vote on main story, mid tier to secondary paths and low tier to vote on tertiary?
4 you could also go lucas arts way - maintain full control on storyand allow people to vote on smaller paths - goes well with 3
as the game is now i can of see it at about 45% through the season including the fashion show in 1.3 . i may be biased but the story can still develop quite a lot - you have so many angles going that you coul top young and restless !!!
When the season is over, I'll be able to decide whether to make a new season. Probably with the old working saves that will create some possible scenarios, but not too many. However, I think that between the end of this season and a possible new season I will play a different game, short (4/6 releases) with another MC but where NCC characters will surely appear. This allows me to establish a basic scenario from which to start season 3 (or any other game). That is, things happen in that game that will have consequences in the storylines of some characters.For example. In the past on King is Back Tatianna started a relationship with Connor and Vanessa with Richard, Mark started his porn career and these things are now on NCC. I don't know if I made myself clear. So even at the end of NCC there will be facts. In some cases I will perhaps do some surveys among my patreons to decide which scenario they preferred and use it in the future as the official scenario
2 The tycoon part in the reboot is developed differently. I've taken the experiences of the beta of porn tycoon and the tests in the original version and I think I've organized something quite fun and that may affect the game but without having, of course, the depth of a real management game.
Let's just say I've taken a lot of possible statistics and simplified them. I have optimised them so that they give a good result and that the "right" choices are rewarded. There will be dialogues with the actresses where you can understand what they prefer, but you won't have to forget the tastes of the audience. So you have to balance the actress's mood and popularity... and your finances, of course.
3 anyone who wants to help is always welcome. I didn't really understand what you meant but if you have any ideas and want to tell me about them you can contact me in DM, here, on patreon or discord. I always try to answer everyone
4 Anyway, yes, there have been, and there will be, some thumbs up about the story. In the past they were about those storylines developing before (which is why for example Andrea Yoshi was a bit behind and it took a long time). In the future I have in mind several possible paths for many characters before the end of the season, but I'm going to develop 2 (in some rare cases3) so I'll submit my ideas to my patreons to understand what to continue with
