Or, replace the letter grades with the ones from Devil May Cry. I wanna be the storm that is approaching when I pull off a crazy combo on Rogue's coochie and get that Smokin' Sexy Style!! rank after busting that third Judgement Nut.

That would keep me motivated to always start with foreplay.
To build off that idea. Maybe it'd be better to have that scoring during sex and not after. It can hold all the tally's until and grade when the player cums. That way you're not completely blind sided by the grading system the first time you have sex and you can try for a better grade if you have more than 1 stamina.

How far can you go with the girls at the various relationship stages? Do you need to commit to actually have sex with them?

Last I checked, yes and perhaps more. Like Rogue doesn't have a lot of conditions (if any. Depending on how one sees somethings), but Laura and Jean will have a few like, having been a few days (I think 3) since x has happened and/or accepted their quirk and/or something similar.

Edit: Just realized I didn't answer the first question. You can go all the way. Though it may not happen until the... 4th? season. But to go all the way, you'll need to commit, being their boyfriend and having them said "I love you" and/or more depending on the character. Until then, it's just things like making out and stuff. Very "I would like to have sex but I'm holding back for the right person." kind of stuff.

Introducing Laura to "sex" may not be the wisest move, though...
I mean, if Null thought Laura's training sessions were rough, I imagine she'd obliterate him in bed!

with her stamina and ability to recover, I'd say it would be a death wish

Has Firestar been getting more of a push in the comics? I've been hearing her name pop up more.



Fair enough. My thinking with Cecilia was the school doctor/nurse thing you often see in visual novel games... or at least the visual novel games I play.

As for Stacy X, honestly that's just based on her origin and powers. I'm not as familiar with her past that. Heck I had to look up Armor and Mirage to remind/familiarize myself with them.

Good call on Mirage, btw, I kept thinking her name was Thunderbird, but that's a different X-Men.

So let's reshape the list a bit based on feedback:

Confirmed/In Game:
Laura
Jean
Rogue
Storm

Good chance given their ties to the X-Men:
Kitty
Jubilee
Magik
Emma Frost
Mystique
Betsy Braddock/Kwannon/Psylocke (however the hell you all manage that)

A bit more obscure, but could be in:
Firestar
Armor
Mirage
Boom Boom
Wolfsbane
Dazzler
Domino
Polaris
Lady Deathstrike
Marrow
Blink
Pixie

Superheroines with ties to mutants/X-Men:
Scarlet Witch
Warbird/Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers
I thought it was confirmed that the next season was being based on the Dark Phoenix saga? In which case most of the women there weren't involved/created by that time. If they are following the plot it needs to be :-

Kitty
Storm
Polaris


maybe Moira? I can't remember if she was in at that point. Lilandra if they are bringing in the cosmic stuff, but I don't think the queen of an interstellar race would have much time to swan about campus. One of the Imperial Guard?

is there any inspiration being taken from the whedon cassaday run? they did kitty pryde really well View attachment 3548880
Not on my part, mainly because none of the characters in that run (Kitty, Emma Frost and Armour) are in the game, and Mad doesn't read the comics, preferring to have Shiny and myself act as a buffer/filter.

That was a little bit of an adventure (in a good way) compared to my usual tech death and thall, but I can totally see it, especially with Amelia.

Glad you approve! In my mind I always figured she'd like the stuff you could dance to more than the heavy, heavy stuff that sounds like a sequencer falling into a bin of Einstürzende Neubauten demos. Not that it's not in her playlists, but it's not the sort of thing you listen to while studying (unless you're studying mortuary science, like one guy I used to know). It's always a minefield when it comes to attributing musical taste to characters - done well, it adds dimensions to their personality and makes them feel more real, done poorly, well, 'Harry Potter discovers My Chemical Romance' is a joke and a cliche for a reason.

And you all joke, but we in the dev team have barely restrained ourselves from putting soundclips from DMC into the minigame.

Maybe next April...

I know enough of Stacy X to know that I would personally pass.
I think the most that has currently been discussed is a possible collectable of her being a centerfold.

But to go all the way, you'll need to commit, being their boyfriend and having them said "I love you" and/or more depending on the character.
I want to bring attention to the "depending on the character."

There will likely be girls who will have sex without requesting commitment. Though they'll likely refuse to be your girlfriend or even kiss. You'll likely be free to bang them in the first season and then forget about them if that's your thing.

Despite the first set of girls, we very much want to explore different kinds of relationships.

There are a lot of girls who would initially just want Null for a fun time and nothing more. Be it life constraints, personality, or just the time and place being fitting.

I can think of one girl whose entire story would be a mostly platonic form of love. Even if you convince her to be exclusive.

I mean, if Null thought Laura's training sessions were rough, I imagine she'd obliterate him in bed!
She can already choke you out. When we add girl on top animations we have plenty of fun ideas.

Kitty
Storm
Polaris
There's a few others that show up but I don't want to name drop them in fear of confusing people.

Though there's a lot of people who want to give Havok the middle finger.

That's a very limited set of girls for the saga that also introduces Dazzler and Emma Frost.

I do want to confuse people and it's me, I am the one that wants to give Havok the middle finger.

About the whole "having to ask permission during sex" thing, we could solve most of it by having the girls make requests /demands on their own. Hell even take the initiative and make you do the action they want (looking at you Laura).

This is very much desired, and indicated as planned. But as Shiny has pointed out several times, despite appearances to the contrary, this is only the fourth major release of the development version of the game, and it is still early in development.

Ironically despite the apparent level the game is currently at (due to good art and writing) there will appear to be little movement in development of the game as all the planned updates are only system and art updates, no real story additions (except as related to adding new functions), and no new girls. At the rate they are going - and remember I am merely a supporter, I am not on the dev team so this is only my opinion - I wouldn't expect to see Chapter Two before sometime in 2025.

So you think they will need more than 10 years,maybe even 15 to complete the game?

The writing never stopped

The point of these updates is that they're a one time thing. Ron won't need to learn how he wants to animate again. Won't need to recreate the clothe-coloring, the ui, the friendship system, the quirk system. Won't need to redo the artwork to a new style.
The only limiter is the art. That's the bottleneck once all this is done. It took 7 or so months for the 0.2 girls and sex poses. They'll be done redoing it by september at the latest (sooner if budget increases) That's 3 girls done twice + all the new coding.

I'm thinking 3 girls in less than a year. Max 5 more years to get to 15 main girls.

I can confirm we're still hard at work writing new scenes and content. Personally, I've been writing pretty steadily since about June/July last year, with the odd break while we wait for coding or assets to be done - hell, I just submitted a couple of new bits yesterday, if anyone's interested, and I still have stuff waiting to be added in general. And even then, when we've been waiting, we've been bouncing ideas around or discussing plans for the future, so it's not like we've been resting on our laurels at any point.

To put our cards on the table, right now, the major bottleneck, as mentioned, is art. It'd probably surprise people to find out the number of ideas we have planned, and ready to be written up, just waiting on things like backgrounds for new areas of the school, we've definitely mentioned that in the past. These things will make it into the game one way or another, it's purely a matter of when. It sucks that we're beholden to that, but that's the basic fact of the matter. In addition, the other big reason we're taking so long with this first chapter, once again, is so we can shore everything up for later releases. We won't have to redo all the art assets for Live2D, for example, we won't have to overhaul the friendship mechanics or the sex minigames because they'll all be in place for future updates. In future, unless anything comes up, story and character updates should be more frequent.

As for the long-term timeframe, obviously, I'm not about to give all our long-term plans out, and I'm absolutely not going to make statements like 'Chapter One will be complete by [insert date here]', but we are have definite plans and we're working to get chapter one finished as soon as is possible - it's not going to happen immediately, but it's going to happen, just give us time to work on it. And - once again - remember that we're still in Alpha, we've barely begun in the grand scheme of things.

Past that, we'll burn that bridge when we get to it. More girls means more updates, means more stuff in general, and if we get the support, either via Patreon or word of mouth, we'll be able to get to those quicker. I get how some of you may be frustrated, wanting to know what happens next, but I promise you we are working on it. We want to be the wait between Infinity War and Endgame, not A Dance With Dragons and The Winds of Winter.

Besides, some of the stuff I wish I could tell you about, I know for an absolute goddamn fact, none of you will see coming, and I want to get there just for the reactions alone.

I've said we've been in beta more than once but considering we're still introducing core features and systems, I'm gonna backtrack and state that yeah we're still in alpha.

As explained by others, we want to make sure that the core experience if refined. Y'all complaining about grind bugged dating mechanics want us to just move on and throw in more equally bugged girls?

As Crichton said, once Ron figures something out and has it programmed in then we won't have to worry about it in the future. It'd just be plugging in the art and the writing with all the mechanics and systems already there.

With the way that we're handling it, chapters 2 to 5 would be 99% story and content updates because we spent the time to set the framework and core systems up first while letting you guys play around with what we have currently.
