I always ended up doing that mostly because of the distance between chapters

The final element I think is making the production of the game is how I try to mix the writing with the gameplay. This is a Visual Novel and I try to make it as interactive as I can manage, and often times that means that I end up biting almost more than I can chew, pushing my limits update after update.
But I’m not referring to just quantity of available paths and variables at play. I try to integrate the gameplay and the experience in a way that has substance and feels engaging. I have a good example of that: In chapter 7 Lena has to decide what are her feelings for Ian: does she sees him as a simple friend with benefits or maybe she’s starting to feel something more? When I wrote the update, this choice happened the morning after they slept together, while Lena was working at the café and reminiscing about it. The choice was presented during her inner monologue, but this felt kinda lazy and mechanical and uninteresting. While going over the chapter, I realized there was a much better way to implement that choice: during the actual sex scene with Ian, in the end, Lena could choose to snuggle up with Ian, acting on her feelings and confirming them, or just go to sleep, showing a colder, less romantic attitude. This way the choice was integrated in the scene and felt more meaningful and symbolic, rather than having a de-contextualized menu elsewhere. So I had to go and scrap what I had written and re-do that particular monologue and set of choices. Maybe these kind of details don’t seem too important, but they are to me.
Something similar happens with character interactions. The draft says these characters need to have a date or conversation in this chapter, so it leads to a sex scene. But what do they talk about? What information do I give to the player that’s new, relevant, interesting to read and that develops the characters and allows you to know more about them? That’s not always easy and sometimes struggle to come up with something worthwhile that makes the character feel like characters, and not just empty plot devices that lead to kinky scenes.
Sometimes I think I make things more complex than they have to be, but I’m trying to learn how to balance stuff. In any case, this is how I like to craft my VN’s, and I’ll keep doing it. I just wish I could do it faster!

He should close his hips to his opponent to really have this armbar and his left leg should go straight as well to prevent his escape and block his right hand. Although it seems like a transitional phase and he might be playing with him. Just sayin
Actually yeah I like Ian/Alison much more than Ian/Lena right now but this makes the game so good with all the different views on it.
As already mentioned I'm on a full Alison Playthrough right now and I've checked the Walkthrough. There is this Thing called something like (block_jeremy_alison) but when I choose the Option "Alison is Mine" it doesn't seem like Jeremy would care at all about that. Is it possible to make sure nothing between Jeremy and Alison is happening and if how to do it?
I really liked Jeremy in my Playthroughs where Alison is not really important but if you play Full Alison he is kind of a horrible Friend to Ian well at least until now so I'm curious if there are some ways to handle this?! (btw I'm in Chapter 5 right now in this Playthrough)

it seems alison is in love with ian. if you go full route on alison, there's absolutely nothing will happen between her and jeremy.
best game ever, im making Ian a gym dude and future MMA UFC fighter (i hope there is a future ending with this LOL) and he fucked all girls.

I love your romantisme and how you envision the spiritual growth of Lena !!
I'm joking 1200% right there !!!
Okay nice thank you for the reply! But after playing many scenarios before I really feel like the first decision in the night out with alison and cherry is the most important one because if alison and jeremy spend that night together they continue this even if you as Ian start something with Alison after this (which is strange if alison is in love with ian). Well at least that's what Jeremy is saying to Ian after that.

I think that's there to appeal to those that wanna have a threesome with Jeremy down the line, because every interaction she has with him before and after shows she has a weird hang-up about Ian, compare Cherry to her and you tell me she isn't a bit obsessed.
Edit: She's also the only girl that has blurted out that she loves Ian, so there.

Don't fuck with Emma and you're good. If Jeremy never bragged that he scored with Alison, then he won't stand a chance, especially if you're only focused on Alison.
The only times that Jeremy can score with Alison are Chapter 2, Chapter 3 and Chapter 5. If he scores with her in Chapter 2, but then you score with her in Chapter 3 and don't screw with Emma in Chapter 5, then Alison kinda ignores Jeremy for the rest of the game because Ian is always her priority (if you show interest to her, of course). If you have sex with Alison in Ch 5, then she becomes your girl. In Ch 6, she even tells Ian that he's her favorite person. But if you go for Emma, then Alison becomes disappointed and you once again lose her to Jeremy, after that she starts hooking up with him on a regular basis.

I think this will be the penultimate status report before Chapter's 8 release.
- I've been taking care of the writing and I feel I had a pretty good week, especially compared to the time where I was facing a bit of a writer's block. I've been making progress consistently and I'm almost done with writing the chapter, finally.
- Right now the script's line count is around 15.000, and I think the final number will be around 16.000 or 17.000 lines at most. So that means I have only 1.000-2.000 lines left to write, consisting in the last two scenes of this update, which will end up rivalling Chapter 6 in length.
- I hope to finish writing early this week. After that I will finish off the visual elements as fast as I can, since that should be easier and less taxing than the writing. As soon as I have everything put up together and done some testing, I will release the Alpha.
