JoJoBrady - Thank you very much for your replies and your vision for the game.Second: A big point is being made about Isabella. Her character will be explained a bit more down the line but I do understand that not everyone is happy with her first few scenes. I probably could've handled her introduction better, so I am sorry if it left a bitter taste in your mouth. I tried to calm her down in 0.06 and will continue to do so going forward. I also might add an option to call her out in her introduction scene.
I also support that the write writes and enjoys the story - change too much and your inspiration might dry up and the game can suddenly just pummel downhill.
When that is said - Im very glad you consider the call out option.
For me it was the feeling that Isabella did her thing - while Carter was constantly asking her to stop.
"Are you stroking my hair"
"I thought you just "wanted to chat".."
"your leg is getting to know me a little too well"
"im sure that's a go to line"
"touch my boobs and I'ill certainly have royal blood on my hands"
"I wonder why I have a tough time bying that"
Those are all Carters responses to what Isabella is doing and saying from MC's point of view until he strongly urges Isabella to S T R O K E Carters chin - a weakspot she have.
That was when I was surprised. And I was angry at Isabella first - but now I re-read the scene while writing this - actually much more angry at MC.
The 6 lines above hinted a contained rage building, where Carter keeps trying to ask the advanches from Isabella to stop.
If Carter had shown any type of interest or desire, even a strong blush or a line that asked for more "oh please, im sure you say that to every gal you meet... You cant possible be interested in little me *blush* you are so pritty" <-- anything corny would work for me.
Insteed I see MC giving Isabella the go-for-it and also says where to touch Carter - and I was sitting going "what.. the.. hell.. - your long time friend is asking Isabella to stop, but you dont care and urges Isabella - an unknown - forward.. what..?? Am I the bad perv. now?"
And since this was Isabella's intro, she was the one getting all the anger initially - because she didnt stop so she shares the blame -but now I also feel a tad ... emmm ... regarding our MC.
That was why I got the strong reaction and felt Isabella didnt respect any lines at all.
The later scenes with her was good and I dont dislike her from anything beside the initial "I-dont-care-and-I-touch-who-I-want" attitude.
And I enjoy the game humor and inner dialog a lot - so I hope you will enjoy making this game for a long time
Preferable until the end of the game
Best of luck from here and forward
