I'm still trying to figure out how it went from "Jason plot is this and that" to "Ella plot is this and that".
Anyone who has been here long enough knows that there was never any discussion regarding Ella's cheating. It was either "not for me" or "oh I can't wait".
Even up until the release of 0.10 there was nothing.
As soon as 0.10 came out and I have promised to make the Jason plot optional, there came a new issue.
There won't be any change in Ella's story. You have seen how she is. You are given options to completely ignore her. Not all 4 options will suit you. I'm not making my game to please your fantasies. It's just telling a story that I have in my head. Even the Jason thing was supposed to be non-avoidable. But our financial state became so bad that we had to make a decision.
I ask my " Patrons" to play all 4 because they know me, they understand the game and I want them to see what work I have done in 6 months with the help they have provided me.
the reality a lot of people just want to please their fantasies, and the story and reason behind the characters action don't matter. As long as "their" mc could chose to act the way they want, and a "force" story beat doesn't matter.
Hell, I've seen games with complete avoidable content still get shit for stuff like in your game just because it's in the game. As if that's the only way a fetish/kink/story can be told.
If the only thing I wanted was a fantasy I honesty just watch porn or go to a game which give me just that, and if I look for something else I go tags that aren't usually my thing(pure harem, no sharing or stuff like that) as those stories are usually just copy paste of one another. But other people want to bend every story to be just their perfect fantasy.
I enjoy plenty of mindless harems, but that's all they are mindless. And for someone like me who mainly love harem, a story like yours is a breath of fresh air in a sea of copy paste games. It's not like I'm hiding my likes for harem anywhere, but I'm painfully aware of how silly they are.
It's not like the writing is perfect or I agree with everything, but I enjoy this because it's a different experience then what I usually go for.
