You mean like Monica from Fasion business ? It is possible for corruption route but probably harder to implement for boyfriend route. Hard to be caring and yet selfish at the same time lol
Not quite. Though that game FB has its own merits, Monica is really a caricature of the insufferable rich bitch, arrogant and totally ridiculous frankly.
What I really liked in the 0.2 version of this game was more the
innocent insensitivity of Gail, who seems to be more worried about the consequences of her fucking with her boss on her own happiness than on her boyfriend's honor and dignity. For example, her inner dialogue in the bathroom, before joining her boyfriend for the celebration dinner. She then just scoots off to the bedroom after dinner, not thinking a second about helping out the poor idiot clean the kitchen, and on top of that, she gets upset by the fact that he's not quick enough.
Later in the game she mentions she's usually the "dominant one", but also likes being "pampered". Sorry to bring in some IRL stuff, but she reminds me of a lot of women, who want a handsome, confident (but not cocky) BF they can show off to their girlfriends, with a great sense of humour (but not too much), at the same time sweet, but at the same time fully independent, oh yeah, but also ready to show his weaknesses, but only up to a point, and only when they're ready to listen, etc, etc. You know what I mean.
Women usually like assholes. Well, most men, I think, are the same with women... most men will choose, if they can, exciting, adventurous female "assholes" over nice, decent... and fairly boring women. I guess it's our deeper instincts telling us these women and men (the "assholes") are the winners of the pack we should be mating with. That's why I like Gail's "office crush", who we see flirting with the secretary. He's unconquered territory for her. He treats her like shit, and even if she's in a relationship, her instincts tell her to conquer him next, not to be lovey-dovey with her sweet loving boyfriend.
It's more about bringing out that personality trait Damaged Coda already sketched out, and making it an explicit narrative point. Gail is cute, she can be loving, she's a "normal" human being. She's not a total aristocratic sociopath like Monica. But you could have two personality development routes, each corresponding to corruption/good girlfriend:
-good girlfriend: She learns to be more caring and attentive to her boyfriend's needs, and others' as well. This will prevent this route from being too static (i.e. just vanilla sex scenes with the boyfriend you can't have in the corruption route).
-Corruption/ambitious slut: She totally makes a fool of her boyfriend, and other men as well (It's clear that sooner or later she will drop Dave for Hugo, or for some other bigger fish). A demon wakes up in her, but not stupidly arrogant and bitchy like Monica. More a total lack of empathy for others, and blind ambition by someone who starts at the bottom, and not a privileged bitch, again, like Monica. Remember the game's baseline "Will she make it to the top?".
Eh... Sorry for the rant!
