Hi. Those are all excellent questions.
I will be working on both projects.
Due to some data corruption, the current version that is out is no longer possible.
for further information on "In it together." Check out my discord.
Both Coda and I are writers.
After numerous talk sessions with Coda, we both agree that much of the game's dialogue could be more realistic. We will slowly start to correct/ replace dialogue for it to make more sense to the scene and overall game.
We are also going to be fixing the story. The flow of the current dialogue is plot-driven, not character driven. Therefore Gail especially is used as a plot device to move the story along instead of Gail actively making choices that will affect the outcome of her life.
She is making her own choices. There will be more focus on giving the player more meaningful choices with consequences that add to more meaningful outcomes.
The Girlfriend's path is going to focus more on the story aspect.
The corruption path will be used to explore more of Gail's sexual side;
and more are planned. I can't tell of all the plans we have. Where would be the fun in doing so?
One of the rules we will continue to follow is if Gail is being a whore. Then she is fully committing to that role and those choices and actions and dealing with the consequences.
My questions to the community are as follows.
What do people like/dislike about Gail?
What are some things people want to see in the game? The most common answers will be looked at more, and see how best to add them to the game.
Beside Gail. What other characters would people like to have more "screen time." Why? and what would they want to happen?
Further questions will be asked as we move toward future updates.
For now, I'm excited about the game's future.

Fair warning this is a lot to read:
1) One thing I "dislike" about Gail is that she's often very dense at times when it comes to her sexual appeal.. even in situations where its blatantly obvious. Even after doing a lot of sexual/risqué acts throughout the game, she still gets surprised when other characters find her sexually attractive and imply that they want to have sex with her. I think it would be better if she actually became more and more aware of her sexual appeal, since she's already been using it to her advantage in quite a few situations.
2) I'd like to see more Noah & Gail content, more risky situations in public (like the molester scene on the elevator, or the two guys on the bus, etc). BUT, in my opinion I hope they will be more
organic when it comes to the situations.. as in Gail doesn't just screw every person she meets for the first time (like the two guys in the taxi). Buildup and repeated encounters are always better in my opinion.. as long as the slow burn is done properly.
-Also, with all these characters taking pictures of Gail, I think something should be done in regards to that, right? The first two guys on the bus.. the graduation photographer.. the chubby kid on the train/bus whichever it was.. Any of them could easily use the pictures as blackmail on Gail if they wanted, but none do. Not saying they absolutely SHOULD, but I'm just reiterating that they have the capability to if they truly wanted to. This could possibly turn into another series of events that happen alongside the other story branches--since theres multiple people with suggestive photos of Gail, the blackmailer could be anonymous in a sense that Gail won't know exactly
who is blackmailing her. They could send the pics to her office.. to Nathan.. sell them online.. etc in exchange for suggestive favors that COULD lead into exhibitionism or just general sexual favors.
3) The two guys from the bus early in the game would be nice to see again. Maybe they'll become more risky or take what Gail said from the first encounter to heart (that her "ass is not theirs to tap") and try to corrupt her more in that regard to see how far she would be willing to go (would need proper buildup though). Molester could appear again, like for example when Gail is out shopping with Nathan and possibly sneak into the changing room with her while Nathan is oblivious to it. Gail could be trying a lingerie on (like she did with Theo) and molester shows up.. what happens inside the room is up to the devs but this could lead to even more future encounters. The boys bullying Noah should show up more as they can contribute further to Noah&Gail's storyline, and shape not only Noah as a character but also his relationship with Gail, and see if they can evolve into something bigger than currently, or stay the same in the end through the player's choices.
-More discreet sex scenes! Gail doing sexual acts to people (blowjobs, handjobs, etc.) infront of other people without them even realizing. Example: Gail giving Theo a blowjob in her office under the desk (on her chair so people who walk in don't realize), and Dave or someone else walks in asking for Gail only to see Theo in Gail's chair acting a little "off" (if you know what I mean). This is rather a more submissive act on Gail's end.
These are of course just ideas, but I hope you consider these suggestions as well as everyone else's as the new writer. I hope that you take this game to the next level! Cheers.
