The issue was kindly fixed by the Dev, but some people...
You can't please everyone, and trying to do so is a fool's errand and will result in a very bland product at best. But if someone points out something they really don't like, and I actually agree with them? I'm not going to dig in my heels. I might not do a re-write but that perspective may change the way I handle things in the future. The way I see it is, if someone really gets upset about something that happens in my VN, it shows that they are invested and really care. So I listen.

If you were trying to be smart...try again.

Maybe I'll reiterate so people like yourself understand. I couldn't care less if the LI in question is a godamn street hooker, it's a story, a VN...it's not real...(and there is one incredibly successful, top 10 all time VN with a very well loved prostitute LI I might remind you). All that matters is: Do you like said character?

Getting upset over a 'potential' LI's history, current relationship situation...is...well....

If a reader starts a new game from versions Chapter 2.5 on, then Brooke will never be a whore. Only Chapter 2 was changed - we barely see Brooke just at the very end of Chapter 1, and there is no back story about her in that Chapter. So the only way you would ever see Brooke as an escort is if you played the original version Chapter 2. The re-write was released about 2 weeks later as Chapter 2.5. I removed the original Chapter 2 download from everywhere that I could. Then on top of that, I started Chapter 3 with an explanation just in case there were readers that never saw the Chapter 2.5 rewrite and were confused. MOst were very happy with the way I handled the re-write. Do I wish I would have got it right from the start and not had to do all this extra work and deal with any ensuing confusion? Hell yeah!! That would have been so much better....
Actually I just re-tried the game to see what difference you made with the changes and I got to say Brooke 's now quite the character - bravo you did a great re-write

I like that you are a dev that listens, and then does make some changes, thank you
Just one more question about Brookes, if the reader starts a new game - is Brookes a whore in chapter's 1 & 2 and if not in chapter 2,5 onward how is it going to work? Are you saying that she was a whore but saw the error in her ways?
If you bothered to spend a little more time reading through the thread you would have read that whatever you mentioned was already null and void.
you would have also seen how engaging with the community this dev is.

he has pretty much adressed every single point and complaint, any and every single one of us fucks had in record time.

for real though. just spend some more time reading, before you jump to whatever "mode" you jumped into.

I just finished writing the script for then next chapter (Chapter 5) and there will be a lot more branching of the storylines based on your decisions, and you will be able to actually even stop certain paths completely. Also, all sex scenes will be optional starting in Chapter 5, even those with Emily and Isabella. It was necessary for the plot progression to make it mandatory with those two love interests, but now it will not be necessary.

For the conference room scene, I somewhat agree with you. Giselle's response actually varies depending on whether you have slept with her or not. She was always going to be amused, but she has more specific things to say if you have have had sex with her. What I should have handled better was Brooke. Her response is the same whether you've slept with her or not. Now, in my mind I thought she would be upset even if you always denied sex with her. That's because she has clearly indicated that she is very interested in pursuing a relationship with the main character. I mean, she offered sex to him on two occasions, so she is clearly interested. So I thought it was okay for her to be upset regardless of your choices. But in hindsight, I should have given her a much more muted response if you never had sex with her. In fact, I think I'm going to change that with the release of the next chapter. That won't help you since you have already played it, but it will be better for folks new to the VN.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it!
I do not mind at all starting all over again when the new chapter comes out with changes to the plot. This has potential. Good luck!

Thanks! Yeah, I feel like I turned a lemon into lemonade. Her new story has significant impact on a pivotal scene in Chapter 4.
