I love this game. Just two suggestions (offered as politely as possible since I absolutely definitely do not want to come of as demanding or condescending. I most definitely could NOT do anything even a tenth as qualitatively awesome as this game, storywise or artwise), if you will.
1: While it might take a bit more work, is it possible to create a new background for Ronnie's room without the decorations, but with perhaps a box or two? It would help with the immersion that she just moved in. If, in a videocall a day or two later, that background is replaced with the current one it would sell the impression that she's moved in and made the room her own. Helps with both realism and a sense of time, as well as aids in the idea that she's accepted the place as her own etc.
2: This is more a concern I have, what with the idea of chapters moving on focusing on a new girl. Not so much that a chapter is focussed on the growing atraction between Lincoln and a sister (that's a-ok), but that at some point it will feel like "moving on to the next conquest". Thus far the writing has been great, but I fear that the characters of previous chapters might disapear from the writing, or not have much interactions past their own chapter. What's great is that it's clear that love is important in this story, and I hope that even in chapter 7 Lynn will still appear from time to time, making comments or sharing a kiss etc. In short; please don't forget the girls after moving to the next girl. This WILL make the complexity of the chapters grow going forward, so I'm sorry for asking for that.
Well, that was very wordy of me.
DMF and I are definitely on board with making sure none of the previous "Harem Members" (because... let's call a spade, a spade... Lincoln is building a sister Harem....) Don't get left out as chapters move on.
The chapters where Lincoln is home, he'll obviously spend time with all the sisters like we have going with chapter 2 right now... and most likely, after a sister has been 'unlocked' they'll be someone Lincoln can invite to bed (possibly more than one if we can figure it out writing and programming wise) those 'love points' you're earning with the sisters we're thinking of tying to different levels of lewdness the sister is willing to get down with. That's our idea for the moment at least.
There is a heavy focus on love, Lincoln is not conquering bitches... much as we might make jokes about that... It's a difficult balance we're trying to do.... Genuine Love for their brother that's romantic and sexual, Lincoln getting to be with all of them... while making it *Just* believable enough.
Obviously there's a reason all this started to happen to Lincoln suddenly... and a bunch of you picked up on it... and that will be revealed in chapter 3... but we're also trying to make it a little more complex than Lincoln just suddenly having "all girls are attracted to my dick now" powers..... We both believe it's very important that Lincoln doesn't come across as having taken away the will and choice of the girl's in his life...
But more....
Helped them act on feelings they always had...
Time will tell if we succeed in that with the art, story, and direction... We're trying to thread the needle with hot sister sex and touching, emotional romance/bonding too.
Maybe it's too early to ask, but what about the possibility of pregnancy at some point in the game?
Given the nature of the story, it's unlikely that Lincoln is going to start knocking up his sisters and girlfriends right away... but I've got an impregnation fetish myself... and well, DMF and I have talked a little about how to do it...
If it were implemented in terms of actually being a real thing, it would most likely be optional, and it's unlikely we'd see the end result before the story is over...
More likely, such a thing would be an optional sex scene where Lincoln and the girl decide to go for impregnation sex with all the dialog that would entail... but we probably wouldn't have say, one of the sisters getting more and more pregnant over time... partially because the game takes place over Summer, which is only a few months... and well partially because DMF and I are trying to keep this first game... meaningful but simple in terms of not having so many different branching paths it becomes a nightmare to program and write.
We have talked about scenes where Lincoln imagines a future with each sister or girl and then there might be some nice pin up art from DMF showcasing a pregnant sister, but we'll see.
We're trying to make sure there's great hot sexy content, nothing *too* extreme, things that make sense, and also don't make everything too complicated to complete the game.
