This is a continuation work, isn't it, just give up the character because you can't find the purpose of the character, that is a different work with the same appearance, according to your point of view, then I don't think many characters are necessary,
MC's mother and sister can also be applied, they do not participate in the actions of the underworld, MC will not agree, they are just MC's relatives, they have no effect on the plot, there is no difference.
You might say it's his mother or his sister, but you don't even care about your own children and the people who have given birth to them, why should you care
Anyway, no matter how you arrange it, I want to see how it goes, I don't really care how Jane arranges it, that's your game, I just want to know why, because to me they make no difference.
Thank you for responding to me, I want you to know, I appreciate you taking this game, I love it, one last question, is your patreon enabled, I can't wait to be your supporter
I understand my decisions surrounding the LIs may frustrate people. Unfortunately in this industry, there are only so many people I can make happy. Regardless of what I do, there will still be people who are opposed to my decisions. The main difference between Jane and Sofia, Mary and the other LIs, is that I have a plan for the rest of them. Or, at least most of them. Those that don't fit so much into those plans will unfortunately be getting less screen time in the game to further the plot and give more opportunities for the other characters to grow.
I know that will piss quite a few people off, especially if their primary LI is the one getting less screen time, and I can completely understand how that may evoke feelings in some people and they may not want to continue the game. Here's the thing right, and I don't say this to disrespect Ari or his work, in fact, I think Ari did a fantastic job with the game, as can be seen from the fact there is quite a strong community surrounding it, but this is more just my own personal critique and it's not due to him being a bad developer, it's just largely due to different priorities within the development of the game. Ari primarily wanted this game to be a porn game with story elements in a sense. The story isn't underdeveloped per se, but quite a bit of focus was put towards the sex and the build up to that. And that's completely fine, of course, for a lot of people, that's what they're here for and that's what floats their boat rather than the story. He knew his audience, appealed to it and executed it. To me personally, that resulted in a lot of the characters being underdeveloped. They were to me, more walking sex dolls rather than living characters involved in the plot.
Personally, as a developer, I am very big on the story elements to a game. I love writing and it's a massive passion of mine, so I'm constantly brainstorming and coming up with ideas I think are cool and would work for the story. Part of that involves coming up with ideas for the characters that are in the game. I have ideas for quite a few characters that will give them more of a purpose and involvement in the story going forward, but I will give everyone a disclaimer now and say Jane isn't the only one I don't necessarily have plans for going forward. And that doesn't mean I'm going to kill off characters for the sake of it or anything like that, it just means they won't necessarily be at the forefront of my development of the game. The characters I have a plan for will take priority with the screen time, and I do have plans for Sofia and Mary for example which is why they will be getting screen time and they will have an effect on the plot, unlike Jane. I don't want to force a storyline for Jane for the sake of it, when her character specifically dislikes the Mafia element of MCs life. And trust me, I would love to go back and change Part 1. Have it so either Jane doesn't leave and make her a part of Part 2 still, or give a happy ending for her character and the MC, but I can't do that as much as I want to, and again, if someone has a realistic and sensible way to work her into the story, I will happily do so if it's what the majority wants.
