So I might not be the best targeted audience as I much prefer to dominate instead of being dominated, but I thought of some ideas to include both. There are 2 ideas that cross my mind:

1- In your room, downstairs, there's a secret wall that has a mind-control serum recipe in it. During the night, since there's nothing else to do, why not have the option to make the serum in the kitchen and give it to each girl of your choice while they sleep. Every time one girl is drugged, the event slightly changes so that you dominate them slightly more instead. At Day 9 when Mrs Farday comes, if you've drugged a minimum of X girls, the event is now that the girls help you chain her and you dominate her instead.

2- Have to option at the very beginning to choose if Emma is poor or rich. Starting rich will make so that Emma dominates poor people.
Every game

Every FUCKING game where you play as a sub

Someone has to come into the thread and go "hey I have an idea, what if you rework the game from the ground up so that it caters to me instead of the people who actually want to play it"

So what is the premise of the end of the story ? MC will always be a slave or she can do something ? she will be a slave or she will become more than that?

Well I mean...I know how the story ends up but I'm not sure I necessarily want to give that away here. Don't think people in general would want that either. Plus it's obviously still quite far from the end so things could still change a bit as it progresses.

Fair enough , btw when we are suppose to call everyone for dinner i cant find one of them , i searched every where but there is only 5 people , is this a bug or she is in a hidden spot ?

EDITED : i managed to do it with talking to the girl in pool area for the second time.

Phew, you had me really confused and worried there for a minute. Nothing I've encountered for all the times I've tested that but I guess random weirdness can sometimes happen when computers are involved. Glad you managed to get through it though and I'll have a look at that task to see if I can find anything that would cause a problem like that. Thanks for letting me know!

Heads up, I had the same problem. I thought that I had just miss-clicked or something, but if he had the same issue, it's probably a bug.

Tried it. Some notes.

- Nice attempt with the changed visual styling. But at the end of the day, that kind of distorted style-ism gets in the way of eroticism. Sucks you had to do extra work for an experiment people liked, but I appreciate the effort.

- I personally don't find the model for the main charachter especially erotic. I think it's the hair. I also expect that her original model was largely a product of the original artistic direction.

Suggestion: Have the girls take her to the stylist at some point to make her more pretty. Possibly one of the more overtly FxF ones.

- The groundwork is largely here for a good story. The area in need of development is the side cast of other girls at her dorms.

1. They need more distinct speaking voices. The characters are likely to blend-in together a bit because they all have the same story role. So it's extra important that you can tell them apart just on speaking style.
2. The kinks they've displayed have felt fairly similar, with the exception of the girl who runs the maid service and wnats to train her. Make sure that each of the girls has a distinct and clear set of kinks. You did foot-play with two of them in one release and that stood out.
3. The girls should, Ideally, form relationships with her that vary. Even if all of them are in a dominant position, their approach to it should be diffrent. Some should be more empathetic/treat her more like a pet. While others should be on the more cruel end.
4. The girls should have more interesting relationships with each other. You put 6 "alpha" women together in a dorm, and they are not likely to remain all smiles and friends. Cliques will form. Some will like each other. Some won't. One way you can make the supporting cast more intiresting is to give them conflicts. If the conflicts are derived of distinctions in personality and philosophy, all the better.

- On a side note. The philosophy of the game is a bit of an oversimplification. See, insofar as the game as a critique of "Elitism" it's worth noting that most social systems that are based on a philosophy of meritocracy, but also have an elitist strian, tend to have a broad allowance for "social climbers". That is, they tend to allow a *few* select social climbers up the ladder as a way of validating their own philosophy. The more strict approach that shuns social climbers so directly is more a charachteristic of non-meritocratic or "divine right" style elitist societies. This probably can't be helped because of the way the game is set up, but it definitly does feel like a weird and not quite naturalistic social structures. But, it definitly feels weird that the social order is trying to crush her this way, rather then co-opt her into something more like "a shiny trophy to uphold the system".

The hair, yes. It's intentionally a little bit on the ugly/non-styled side since she's from an area where hairstyling isn't really top of the agenda.

Grouping your four points together here - character diversification. Yes, it's only really Nora standing out right now. I think that will develop a bit over time though as more kinks get introduced and you spend a bit more time with them. Early days but I agree with your overall observation. They might not turn out completely different from each other but definitely more distinct nuances. I've gone back and forth a lot on, from a storytelling perspective, to treat them as five seperate antagonists or one antagonistic entity with different nuances given that they can sort of appear that way from the MC perspective. They'll get more individually interesting over time but they also all come from similar backgrounds and circumstances.

Yes. Yes, it is. Even more than a bit I would say. Social/Economic commentary isn't something I'm targeting at all. It's just not one of my fetishes but each to their own... ;)

Just girl/girl as it stands, sorry. Might include penises at some point in the future but no guys (with the exception of one very, very minor character) right now.

No guys is a bit a pity. I mean its fine the domination is only done by here class "mates". But I hoped somehow they will offer her later to guys, too.
But beside that I liked the game so far. (y)
Good luck with it!

so this is a lesbian game? and dicks can be avoided?
Rather than discussing what may or may not be in the future cause it's not really relevant right now, the content in the uploaded version is girl/girl and no dicks what so ever.

Oh, for sure. I wouldn't recommend you dig into the social philosophy because of like the importance of it politically or principle or some shit.

Nah, I'm being entirely porn-focused.

It's just, if you had to boil down the sexual component of your game into a sentence it would be "Eroticism derived from the power differences of an unequal society". (Wo)Man vs society is the main erotic conflict of the game.

So why take some time crafting a more delibrete and coherent social philosophy? So you can that philosophy setup more intiresting conflicts and scenarios for the main character down the road.

I mean there's going to end up scenes where they take her places right? Coherent social philosophy will help you construct far more engaging social situations or locations.

Or when it comes to the different girls. It would help a lot for giving them distinction or else developing their motivations.

Example question. Are all rich people considered the same in this world? Are people whose money is associated with a particular industry shunned or especially glorified? What are the internal power dynamics among the rich? Would a heirarchy naturally emerge among the girls? Would any of them be considered "not quite fully respectable" for where their family made their money? Or maybe it relates to family role? Do first born sons/daughters have a higher social standing because people expect them to inherit?

You can see how the questions above might produce radically different social dynamics among the girls, thus effecting the story your telling. But it would also produce more "texture" helping make the girls feel distinct and giving nuance to their personality and interactions with others.

I find generally in my own erotic writing that having that kind of developed theme-work helps me a lot when I'm stuck or if I think my first draft is too boring. I can go back to the theme work and derive out something better.

So yeah, even if you don't care about some big social critique or whatever, it's still worth doing just for the erotic and storytelling value.

I think it may be relevant to tell what kind of content the game will have in the future and what can be avoided, I just want to know if you can play from beginning to end, now and in the future with only girl x girl content because I have played games where the developers say you can play as a lesbian and all the other content is avoidable and then in an update they put unavoidable men, ruining it completely for those who played it with the idea of a lesbian route.

well I wish you good luck we have very few femdom games and a female protagonist is a plus and even more if she is the submissive.

It's a fair point and in the interest of full transparency - I haven't decided 100% yet which is why I don't want to make any promises one way or another. The overall story works fine without including men so it would only be a content choice to diversify I guess in a way. That's why at this point in time, IF I include men in a sexual context at some stage I see that as being optional/skippable one way or another because it is a primarily F/f game either way. But again, I don't want to make promises and then go back on them for the exact reason you state. It's not an exclusively female world she's living in even if her current circumstances are. That's why I'm being a bit non-committal about it, not trying to hide anything.
Hope that makes sense!
