I had a Game Over at the point where a girlfriend marched into a pub with another man.
But you're sitting with Isabella. That's a win in my book! (kidding)

Yeah, she was a bit of a plot device and probably the thing I regret the most, but I still felt it was needed. In hindsight, I should have left that part offscreen and just discussed it later. There are some discussions later in chapter one and especially in the upcoming chapter 3 about why he made a bad decision in picking her. We all make mistakes. I also didn't want them all to be single at the start of the game, because given their ages (23 - 38) it would be strange if all the mains were single. I didn't think people would like the love interests being in a relationship, so I made it be the MC. Sorry. I tried to get over that part of the story really quickly and barely have them talk at all so people wouldn't become attached to Miranda. But again in hindsight, talking about it and not seeing it would have been more palatable by many. This event also provided a reason to bring Isabella and the MC back together. It's a pretty brutal shared experience, and something that will bring them closer and provide reasons to deeply discuss their relationships, their personal flaws, and their future.

If a girlfriend cheats, all it takes is one picture and I delete the game from my computer. I don't give any value to the game then. I don't look at a single picture from the NTR. That fucking slut cheats on the MC and the game ends there. Your attempt to bring MC and Isabella together is fucking bad if it drives players away from the game. As I said in that one post it is a big mistake to bring a cheating girlfriend into the game. That's where a big bunch of players get angry. That could have been handled as a text i.e. MC would have talked to Isabella about his break up with his girlfriend instead of bringing that slut in front of MC's nose. Anything where there is LI and another man or woman is banned and will explode very easily. So in other words the game is deleted.

Thanks for the input, I'll keep it in mind for future titles. I'm sorry this wasn't for you, but at least you didn't have to get very far into the VN.

Happy gaming!

Lol, there's nothing wrong with Brooke's story now. All she does is sing on stage at the hotel. Of course she has to dress flashy to perform on stage. She isn't even an escort anymore. You have something against lounge singers? :LOL:

It's a bit annoying to have the screen fading in and out every screen.
Thanks for this comment, I immediately wrote it on my whiteboard to investigate and you are correct! I got a bit fade happy, especially in Chapter 2. Not sure why... But I just went through the entire game and evaluated all the transitions, and I probably eliminated 3/4 of the fades and changed them to dissolves which are much faster. That really helps the pacing, thanks for the suggestion.

These changes will be released with Chapter 3.
