The episode development style is quite expected but good to know this is really the case.

I was wondering if:

Character exit -- Are there any characters that would cease to appear due to player choices/ storylines, going fwd?

Ending(s) -- Are there multiple endings planned? I think it's a stupid question given so many characters and their arcs. Additionally, which episode would be the finale? Somehow I'm getting the inkling given the content size of E17, the next one might be the final. I remember CheekyGimp promised an epilogue as well.

Keep up the good work, quality storylines have been a hallmark of your team.

I thought I read here in the past that it would be 20+ episodes. Ep. 17 will be substantial - but most are. Just seems more than normal due to development complication.

I`m hoping for threesome - Zarah and Monica. Maybe in episode 18, i suppose

Monica and zarah? I havent played in a while but Zarah is the one that looks like her skin is made out of leather right?

Aren't we all just sacks of future leather to the most ambitious fashion designer.

I was wondering, is there a particular scene you wrote, that you are especially proud of? As in you personally, not the team or Cheeky.

Edited to add: And I'm sorry, if this is actually answered in all these answers on the discord-channel, but loading that channel alone took some time and reading through it will take a long time, so I did want to ask the question here.

I can't claim the credit for any one scene given how closely Cheeky and I work together (not to mention Cell and Red handling most of the art). But the offset is I had a hand in almost everything since the Katie restaurant/beachhouse date which is the first scene I wrote with Cheeky. It is also one I am pretty proud of. A lot of the jokes there are Ace originals that Cheeky liked enough to bring me on full time to expand his perverted humor base.

While not really my kink, Theresa's attitude and character are based on a twisted version of my experiences with her sort while attending Catholic school in my youth. I'm agnostic now, as a result of those experiences lol.

Coming up though I think my work with the EP17 Jenna/Katie scene (which kind of escalated after some Cheeky encouragement) and the Monica date I poured a lot into will hopefully be well received. But again, we work as a team and everyone contributes.

Well, I imagine it is apparent that if you don't go after a girl romantically you will miss content that was exclusive to them like dates/sex, but almost all the chars have some part to play in the main story progression so will appear there even if you miss their romantic content. Also thus far you never miss any girls side/romance content even if you are seeing all of them, but there are some things you may miss by only seeing certain ones (especially with the upcoming arcs potentially involving more than one female).

As for endings there will definitely be more than one, both in regard to the main story and the girls (and epilogues with variations dependent on all those things). I took the liberty of mapping out a small quick sheet of the potential ending romance possibilities alone for us and came up with 13 of those or so not including the main story variations.

As for the finale episode, we don't know for sure. Cheeky guessed 25 a long time ago, but that was tentative and likely underestimated given we keep coming up with more to do. So long as people are enjoying what we have to tell, we won't be rushing things.

Cool and of course I didn't want to take away any credit from the rest of the team, was just interested whether you had something of the sort. I liked the restaurant date a lot, though I admit for my (so far) canon playthrough, I did ask her to dial it down a bit, not that this stopped many of the jokes.

Didn't think you intended to take any credit away. Which was also my intent.

AND so you are one of those guys I have to keep track of the KChange variable for?

It's all good, we put it there for a reason.

Though I think she will be funnier if you don't change her overall.

...the waiting's starting to get nerve-wracking. I can't wait to see how the story develops.

So you had a hand in that, eh? That was priceless.
The interaction with the waiter (Francois?) in the restaurant, especially if you took "Mom" there first, made me howl with laughter. Whoever created and rendered his facial expressions is genius.
