Which brings me onto my theory, which is that I firmly believe that Eva, after GGGB, was always intending to make a male MC game. I remember her development diaries she posted back then, reflecting on the fact that virtually all the successful AVNs are with a male MC, asking herself whether the ought to also go this route to reach the same level of success. She was further saying that she felt done with the GGGB type of storyline, and was looking for some new challenge.

But then she got scared, I think, because all of the polls she was running, as well as the sentiment in her comment section, showed that the female MC was one of the premiere reasons for supporting her. So she gave in, settled for having two main characters, hoping that it would satisfy both ends of the spectrum and give herself the challenge she sought, but not fully recognizing the momentous ordeal this would become.

Lena's route is more similar to GGGB than Ian's. Most of the men in that were cunts or losers for most of it, why F95 liked them:ROFLMAO:. I don't think Lena's route is because of a lack of interest it's because of that "two games" thing. Lena is in GGGB lite while Ian is in a standard AVN. I think they're meant to be different rather than analogous by design.

If she wanted more money ditching Lena likely would have earned her far more money in the long term because male MC games are as you said far more successful (because the audience is seemingly mainly men) and Eva is one of the better devs in the AVN space. It'd also have made development a lot easier and shorter. She'd also have retained most GGGB backers anyway, it's not like we're all only playing female mc games. I would not have pulled my support for example. She went for the ambitious interwined story instead.

Honestly I doubt it was fear though. Devs and publishers ditch their built fanbases to chase bigger earnings all the time and she was virtually guaranteed it'd work. I think she tried to make something to satisfy everyone and that rarely works well for the person trying to please everyone. Now she has a mountain of work to do and it'll take years.

Despite my general dissapointment with the drip feed of updates... I am going to defend EK here... These mini-updates weren't created for general population play. They were created for the patreon fans who 'wanted to be part of the games creation.' I would prefer playing the game in large(r) chunks though I am not sure the peanut gallery of game players being upset with minor updates can be fixed.

If there weren't the minor updates, it might just be as everyone has described-- an update per year. Which would allow for more game play but still slow in that there would not be a conclusion to the game with that menthod for several years.

The reality of creation of a game like this (without major funding) is that it will take as long as it does. If you were to remove everyone's drip playing of various routes, and start everyone over fresh, the game play would be significantly different. The description of this update as "Just a bunch of lewed scenes" wouldn't be described as such because it would have been released within the context of the rest of the game as well. Players wouldn't be able to burn through each path to play them all.

This is just the way it is with solo creators. Our expectations need to be tempered. (ESPECIALLY IF RECEIVING THE GAME FOR FREE). Those who are paying for the patreon are giving everyone on this thread access to the game by paying for the creators work.

If you are upset with the updates... maybe best to just wait until enough work on the game has been completed to make it enjoyable to play.

I wonder if it is possible in the future chapters that Ian and Lena can have fun with Emma(causal/open relationship), or Ian on Allison love/fuck buddy path.:unsure:

Even though I originally wanted the game to be soley female protagonist like GGGB, I have, as the game has developed, become interested in Ian. I have 30 playthroughs involving various paths for the two main characters. I was rather disappointed to see that there was no new content for Ian except the few scenes in which he was part of Lena's perspective. Hopefully the next update will focus on Ian's POV.

Yes, that's usually how the updates work: this one is Lena's POV, the next will be for Ian's POV.

I always found Ian content to be boring basic vanilla filler e.g. writing a mid book, learning to be acceptable at martial arts, buying another T-shirt, fapping to StalkFap. Did I miss something? What did you enjoy in your Ian playthroughs?

I think the "slice of life" bits are what makes the rest of the content stand out in contrast. Just consider how in this update people complain that it's really nothing but a series of disjointed sex scenes lacking anything even resembling a plot between them. You'd think that's exactly what someone playing a porn game could want, yet here we are.

OLALA' what a surprise!
However, the real transgressive gameplay is to continue the love story with Lena (even if she makes a little bit a slut but oh, well so)

I have a question, is there a way to make the male MC and the female MC date while she cheats on him behind his back or make him be a cuck? Or do they always break up when that happens?
