Hi again
3Diddlyf95zone !
Some further feedback for you. I saw and read your roadmap for 2024, sounds really good and I look forward to play it!
While there will be the start of 2 new routes late in 24, most of the year will be developing the Kati/Jamal and Lee/Davis routes towards their conclusions.
Along the road Mei will see 2-3 further physical changes, which I theorise will be divided among the two routes and be not too hefty, e.g. clithood piercing. Which is good, since I think the current "two Meis" look really nice and well as they are.
There are also several new and maybe upgraded traits coming, will be interesting what these are and how they influence the various subpaths.
Unsurprisingly the exploration of further and new sexual practices is continuing. Directly mentioned in the map is anal, group content (which I theorise will be stronger present on the Kati routes) and BDSM with "toys" on the Lee routes. Look forward to see what shapes this will take and on which subpaths (romance, sharing/swinging, cuck, NTR) these will pop up. I think there will be some surprises on this topic, since in the current version even on devoted romance there already could be some optional fun developments, like a threesome with Kati or an exhibitionistic Mei let Rashon watch our couple having fun/sex.
Also mentioned in the roadmap for this year is the start of optional pregnancy content. Will definitely be interesting, esp. how close or different the implementation will be to some ideas I posted last year. Going by how I understood the wording, the Kari and Lee routes will continue to be developed in 2025.
A nice side thing is that the main friends/influencers like e.g. Kati can become optional secondary love interests. Something of a shout-out to the old precusor "Wifey´s dilemma", where you could help Kati with her life situation.
Later this year two new routes are started, Tanya and Lisa as the main friends/influencers of Mei and our couple. Had to smile while reading the descriptions of these new ones, since there is some clear "turned mirroring" in WDR when it comes to routes.
In my play experience, while there are the crimestory elements and certainly you can get onto the strong NTR paths, the Kati/Jamal routes have a thematic tendency towards the romance and happy sharing/swinging paths I really, really like and is one of the main reasons for me to play the game. There is the vibe and undercurrents towards openness, consent, exploration (e.g. our couple learning together that Mei is an exhibitionist at heart), becoming friends, togetherness of our couple even with them experimenting with sexual fetishes/practices on those paths.
The Lee/Davis routes are a turned mirror image in that, while you also can become friends with Lee/Davis and go onto the romance and sharing/swinging paths, there is a much stronger thematic tendency towards the cucking and hard NTR paths on their side of the game. Backroom deals, dominance, secret NGOs, BDSM play, submission (e.g. Mei as an approval seeker) are not a good environment for a meek, e.g. low stats, couple wanting to stay together/exclusive. While you can play nice romance (which can be quite satisfying keeping Davis away, winning over him) and happy sharing/swinging subpaths on the Lee/Davis routes, cucking and NTR have a strong push/pull here.
Few events in-game exemplify my theory as much as the beer pub video. How it came into being was already a big breach of trust, cheating and you just get to watch it if you consent towards stronger sharing or if you snoop the vid. The main point here is that even a high LP, many positive traits Mei will often present you this "Davis dominance" video (or not).
Compare that with the Kati routes. You will get similar trust breaches/cheating only if your relationship with Mei is truly in the dumps! A Kati influenced, high LP, many positive traits Mei will never pull off shit like this video. Even if MC and Mei experiment with "fun stuff" they are in it together and decide censensusly on what they do if they are a loving couple.
Now the new paths also will be turned mirror images. Since on Lee/Davis the thematic focus is more towards cucking and hard NTR, the new Tanya path will going by the roadmap probably be only non-NTR. Whereas the new Lisa path will likely be only NTR as on Kati/Jamal the hematic focus is more on romance and sharing/swinging.
A geodesic path structure in an erotic game, you do not see this all that often!
Bye until the next posts!
