True. Life got very complicated. I ended up getting the Omicron variant, and when I tried to return to work, I found I had long Covid. After many attempts to return, i had to leave work and have taken an early retirement and seeking disability coverage.
In the midst of that, I was influenced by the number of developers who start out, then become dissatisfied with their early work, the developers who, in their frustration, keep going back and redoing the first chapters. Since my polyamory story is a long one, I put it on the shelf in order to work on smaller projects first. The second project, a Steampunk story, ended up growing in scope as well.
The project I'm working on is a science fiction story, set in a universe similar to the Expanse universe. I will probably do more stories in that genre, but this one can be a stand-alone story. I am in the process of building custom ships using various assets. It also sounds like the new version of DAZ Studio will allow me more leeway in designing belters.
Since my own history predates the coining of the words polyamorous and polyamory, the term we had then was "Open Relationships." As a result, I tend to see open relationship as the broader term, within which polyamory and swinging would be subsets. The umbrella term used lately is 'ethical non-monogamy.'
Because of the nature of an AVN, the focus will be individuals who are more open rather than those who practice polyfidelity. To be certain, you will encounter people who are in (or are seeking) a closed triad/quad, but they won't be centered in the story. At some point, there will be a M/F couple who engage in "unicorn hunting" (married/committed couple seeking single HBB for closed triad), but I haven't decided if the central couple will attempt it or have them encounter it second-hand.
The player will also have the option to explore kink (bdsm, et al) and swinging options. Too big for a first project.
