I agree, it'd be nice to see them have some sort of intimacy outside of the MC's bedroom. The voyeurism as a turn on thing has been done three times (once in the closet, twice on the laptop), time to move on. He is also going to have start working the girls toward the idea of "Sharing is Caring" if he ever hopes to get Monica to not freak about him seducing her daughters. Both of them will have to be united and on his side.

It's totally not up to me, but if it were, the way I'd go about it would be to firstly introduce Jenna's change of behavior to the family (a simple sunbathing at the pool with Katie, or going out to go shopping with Monica/Katie and choosing somewhat revealing clothes, etc), and then the family accepting that she has changed.

This would establish her new character (no longer shy anti-social girl) which would open up the way to do far more things in the future. She is the wildcard character that could easily be included in many different things. A few examples of future possibilities:
1. Inserting Jenna into a plot with the three amigos which would change the dynamic of the interaction between characters.
2. Jenna as a model to help Monica. This could evolve into Jenna modeling with MC as a pair, and then Monica suspecting something going on between them.
3. Jenna being peacekeeper between Katie and Bella when the two families got together.
etc etc

There are so many things that can be done with Jenna as a character that it feels like doing her a disservice if we continue keeping her in the bedroom. She has grown, she has changed, it's time to unleash Jenna into the wild wild world.

You've to keep in mind all the possible scenario already in the game though. If the MC didn't romance Jenna she doesn't really change that much.

If the MC didn't romance Jenna (and her staying the same as shy anti-social person), then obviously there's less need for Jenna scene in that path. Simply keep her holed up in her room and stay out of others' way.

I might not be the right person to say this since Jenna is my favorite character, but why someone wouldn't date her? i agree that it will be nice seeing her doing new stuff and outside the MC bedroom but her character development is one of the bests so far.

 

[Mytez]

but why someone wouldn't date her?

I'm dating her, but I guess being too naive/closeted. Probably thinking about why should you bother with her when you have a plethora of ladies ready to get with MC without having to change them completely.

At the moment the game doesn't really have any path. You simply skip or get a run-down version of the scene involving the girls you didn't romance.
If Jenna has to become the catalist of the story going forward (as in your example), then we need another catalist in case she isn't romanced. That means to double the scenes and double the work.

I'm not saying it's not gonna happen, just that it's not that easy.

Katie is my favourite character out of ALL of the games I've ever played. I've two main saves, one with a manwhore MC and one with Katie only. Also I don't think this is an harem type of game and I don't expect an harem ending.

Honestly?? this is one of the things that i like about her character, since we have a lot of girls that are locked and loaded and ready to go ,its nice to have at least one that is more harder to get, sometimes slow burn is also nice.

I don't think this is an harem type of game and I don't expect an harem ending.

I think Cheeky already said that it won't be a harem, but i like to see all the content so until the shit hit the fence i am going full manwhore, when it does then i will start doing separate routes

That's what I'm on gotta have them all but each update I'm half expecting it to explode and explain myself shame that it won't be a harem we end up with I'd have all the milfs in mine and I'd make a few more milfs out of Katie and Lily

 

[freca]

Pretty excited about some Jenna content. But I'm still one of the few surviving Monica-men who are waiting for that righteous moment.

 

[Phalzyr]

That being said these past 3-4 months its noting but delays and excuses(tho they deliver eventually), i hope cheeky/team picks it up coz ive seen this pattern tooooo many times

I haven't caused any delay myself so can't pick it up more than I have been doing. Not sure how much longer delays would be if I hadn't been added to team. Hopefully Cheek's RL settles down... He always seems so busy to me hehe.

 

[DarkGod7]

Alright... I'ma keep it real with you chief, Jenna is by FAR my favorite character in this game. Just the idea of being responsible for her rescue from her reclusive personality and character just does it for me. Helping her go from Hermit to BOMBSHELL is the greatest feeling ever. I found myself genuinely excited every time she pushed herself to be more out there, every jump in confidence and every new stage of comfort with the MC. Not to mention she is one of the best looking models in the game as well. Plus, the dating route with her is really cute and adorable as well. She's a little clingy, but a nice kind of clingy that feels like she genuinely cherishes and loves the crap out of the MC. One could just feel how much she does not want to lose him under any circumstances, and it warms my heart. Now I'm just waiting for the update where she warms MC's dong and all will be right with the world.

 

[stupidcat]

eager for the next update

 

[Hagggas]

Damn Monica is such a tease she grabs my dick and then tells me not to do anything or we will get caught smh

That is one of the reasons I like her so much. While there is that element of the challenge, and having to put in the work to get the reward. It's honestly more that she is just an awesome person, with an incredible body too... which, in my opinion, is the best looking in the whole game. A hot geek, can't ask for more.

I have one play through with all, and one with only her.

 

[Skylaroo]

If Jenna has to become the catalist of the story going forward (as in your example), then we need another catalist in case she isn't romanced. That means to double the scenes and double the work.

I never said that Jenna is the catalyst of the story going forward. I said that after her change (if you romanced her), then she could easily be inserted in many different storyline because of her freedom in character.

At the moment the game doesn't really have any path. You simply skip or get a run-down version of the scene involving the girls you didn't romance.

Sure, but eventually the game will have to have different paths because that's the nature of the story with choices. And if you're really worried about paths, then run-down version could easily be made (e.g.: go shopping but skip the actual choosing clothes and immediately return to home, and change the dialogue into Monica/Katie complaining that Jenna whinged about going home too much so everyone had to go home quickly before they could really shop)

That's more or less why Katie, Jenna and Lily are my main girls. All of the girls are gorgeous, since they are obviously designed to be visualy appealing, but in contrast to Zarah, Bella and Debbie who instantly jump onto MC's dick; the first three take a lot of effort to get close to, they don't want MC for casual sex, they want him as a future partner, and that makes them way more attractive.

From those three, to me Katie is the best of them, I love her banter with MC and how tough and fragile she can be, at times she feels more than Jenna. I'm really hating the three amigas plot tho. It looks like it's going to an eventual foursome, which will diminish her supposed "love" for MC, since no woman in her right mind would share her man and risk losing him.

I agree with everything you just said, except for Katie being the best Yes, I absolutely love the personality, and the banter as you said, and if it was real life, I would be game. But I am not a fan of that model. I know I'm being superficial, but it's a game, and I'm allowed to be, shush haha.

I'm not sure if there would be a foursome with the three girls though. With Katie's history, I think she is more bark than bite. She was more open on the beach, but I still can't see her going all in with it. With the whole Debbie boning for Lily thing going on, I could more easily see and accept a threesome there.

I'm hoping the dev keeps the character true to their personalities otherwise, this whole conversation is fucking pointless shit.

 

[Vrijgeest]

So many paths. It is great to have them. Never mind the will conditions. It will be interesting how that pans out; money or love?
Good story telling and great renders. Big tits but nice real life like ones. Looking so much to the next update. It is a present one of my favourite stories.

Wait... Katie took some work to get into her pants? What game were you playing? After the party she's all "no let's wait, and be romantic". 10 minutes later she's slobbering on your knob right before you go balls deep. It's the one thing the dev messed up on in my opinion. Each of the 3 main ladies should've been a conquest, but nope, Katie just wants you to pop her cherry and leave the nuts hanging out.

Well, it took some time and a lot of progression for her to decide to do it. But I agree, as someone who was looking forward to the apartment scene, it was garbage how everything went out of the window, even if it could be understandable that a horny young girl would say fuck it and do it.
