I'll chip in with my two cents on the matter. I understand the concern, but at this point we aren't even a fourth of the way into the story. We've barely scratched the surface of who many of these characters are, and how they view relationships. They're still developing and finding their footing.
As for patron voted content I'd point out the Author also contained it. It's not the patrons telling me willy nilly what to do, they get a choice between the story that I've already written. I'm willing to let people express what they might have interest in seeing, but in the end I'm only writing the story that I want to write.
Appreciate the input either way though, always important to see what's being discussed.
Gotta admit, I'm hoping there is room for a harem ending.
I'm a sucker for a harem ending. And these games are made to be sexual fantasy anyhow.
That said, in a game, like this one, that takes itself seriously, I'd hope that such an ending, if it ever existed, was difficult to get to, and felt earned.
I was sort of bummed that no such ending existed in The Author, outside of the throuple, but it also made sense, for that story. (I do feel, though, that with all the girls knowing they were all intimate with the same guy, and all OK and in a mind to have fun, it could have worked out that they decided to keep a status quo.... but that's a hope and a dream, for a different game, that's already complete anyhow...)
In this one, as it is written so far, I think there is more wiggle-room for such an out come.
And one thing I like about the mod is it shows points, but not paths. Even using the mod, one might not have the points to achieve a hard to reach harem ending, if the paths aren't what is shown.
I know, I know, a harem is unlikely. And seeing as my stupid-ass is doing a celibate playthrough for the first run of the game, it's silly for me to wish for it.
But if such a thing could work, in the story you want to tell, I know I'll be eager to see it.
(if there is any in the future)
