I assume you are talking about GGGB in the first part of your reply - I too have lost a lot of interest in GGGB but for other reasons - just too much going on in paths I am not interested in - has simply become a corruption fest as the main character has become somewhat of a cardboard cutout of herself in recent updates.
I also agree the MC in SAGE is much better written and filled out - love her sassy personality. But not because women have less of an imagination - that is simply not true at all - gender has nothing to do with storytelling talent - and it's all about talented writing and believable characters who a player can relate too and cares about.
I wasn't specific enough. What I meant was that women in erotic games tend to write much better in general than men cuz guys have that usual sex fixation and everything they write has that erotic context which often kills any feasibility text could have. Not always but usually. Women tho tend to not feel our fetishes and make everything strongly grounded. GGGB is a perfect example of a game which main character has basically no special attributes that would stand in contrast to the corruption the game is based around. Ashley is as normal as it can gets which isn't exactly possitive in erotic context. That's just my opinion ofc.
This dev has also resisted the temptation to make secondary characters themselves the focus of the story - they play a role in the protagonist's development rather then being too developed themselves, as in any good novel. He has done a wonderful job with this and managing multiple paths for the MC so far.
Yeah. I feel like it's not a good idea to focus too much on too many characters in such a game. SAGE has too many paths and characters to really go deep into them. Dev is suerly doing fine so far with handling them. Hell, he's so good I wonder how he's been able to keep track of all these encounters and characters.
AWAM certainly caught everyone's attention when it was released. It was very promising, still is but an extreme amount of resources are spend on HD renders which may have eaten up its multiple choice paths + porn. Not everyone's cup of tea but I admire the dev to sticking to his guts in a fap fest industry.
GGGB was my second FP game after Katie's corruption. Ashley was really cute at the beginning and artwork was pleasing. What really amazed me was the * Choose your own adventure * variety. It felt so insane and revolutionary among the industry. But after playing a few more updates, it felt a bit hollow as Ashley seems to get on sex base with all characters real quick. From a fap perspective it is great ofc but then it slowly felt the same like Anna, Elaine , Lily etc which every update is sex with Tom dick and harry. Not to mention the problem with * hand drawn * art is you dont always get the same artstyle which is notable in GGGB.
Then came a very unknown game called Project Sage. TF is PS? 15 months later, we still dont know why its called PS lol. Another cliche of a virgin living in a new city just waiting to get her cherry popped. Or so I thought.
For a 0.11 remade version, it had a fair amount of sexual content, granted none was actual sex. It felt very similar to GGGB but whereas GGGB had lots of sex varieties with different ppl, PS really focuses on hidden lewd scenes which most of your previous choices does affect the continuation of future plots. It was quite... a breathe of fresh air so to speak.
From the recent reviews, 0.17 now has a whopping 6 to 10 hours of game content depending on yr reading. That is impressive as there had to be enough lewd contact, choice paths , humour and attraction considering there's no actual sex yet. My biggest wonder is will PS still be able to hold its unique attraction once sex has arrived or will it gradually fall to the other ranks of other FP games.
As some of you know, I've been thinking about how to do a proper walkthrough of this game for a few months now.
I think I have an idea.
A proper walkthru with all possibilities would be the same as reading the raw code, but much like my puritan walkthru and my favorite path walkthru I think I could do a themed walkthrough of this game.
My first thought is a "Clever Amy" walkthrough.
I have started this yet no idea how long this will take. The concept is a business-oriented female protagonist who is able to outsmart many of her opponents (such as the principal, paul, etc.)
There will be limits (one does not mess with another person's coffee!)
There will be humor (I am currently including amusing rationalizations for every choice.)
That said, there are a lot of choices where I'm unsure which would be the "clever" or "business-minded" choice for our female protagonist. For some of these I am digging into the code (for example, today I learned that asking for opinion about the bikini is much better than always wanting to have a bikini like this) but I would rather get experience from other players.
For me this is just for fun.
I'm not affiliated with the game in any way other than being a fan (with abundant free time, apparently. Usually due to insomnia.)
So, why not share in the fun?
What choices would you make for "Clever Amy"? What is the smart, business decision? What is your rationalization for that decision?
Like you said, a theme walkthrough will limit it but if you are planning to do from a humour point of view, possible but it sounds like more work on a already tedious walkthrough.
Clever Amy is possible as the person would be smart, sharp wit , perspective etc . Most of which can explain some of the choices but a clever person would not necessary say drink all the way before model work and thus losing her wages so its probably better if you can add a few themes on a walkthrough to make more general sense. Clever + extrovert + ??? etc
Now if only clever Amy has an option to close the bloody door when paul first arrived.
It could be easier if the first walkthrough maybe focus more of the diverting paths which at this stage seems to be
1) Hank BF - Yes, No, Fuck buddy.
2) Simon - Lover / Corruption
3) Miyagi - Linked with Hank + Simon choices
4) Paul + Andrew - which one you approach etc
Actually after typing the above, just pondering over it already gives me a spitting headache. Good luck
1. PS current game
2. PS v0.17 (previous game)
3. Something Unlimited
4*. The Twist (*i just love the possibility to control camera during sex scenes, still abandoned to play it long ago)
5. can't decide, there is much more good games. For example, Freeloading Family, Harem Hotel, Anna Exciting Affection - i like their girls, also i can recommend Offcuts - good story and unique graphic style and one of the best sex scenes, anal too
As far as I know there is no certain date for the next release. Updates are more frequent than on other games but less than I wish (because I absolutely love this game). Last release was on 26th august, so if we are lucky, maybe, there could be an update by the end of the month, eventually.

at the end of the poker game where your left with just mr. wilson, can anything happen here or does it always end with you leaving and mr. wilson saying he couldnt do it?

I don't like it as a pressure tactic because it eliminates choice. Choosing to wear the lewd outfit because it will make someone else happy and potentially result in a positive benefit for MC is one thing, wearing it because someone told them to or else there will be a direct negative consequence to MC is another.
I'm very pleased that in PS Paperwork provides the "clever girl" option where she's able to avoid/neutralise the blackmail.
