I was so intrigued after reading the overview and seeing the screenshots that I just had to give the game a try... and I fucking loved it.
Thank you friend, I'm very relieved to hear you still gave it a chance, and even ended up loving it!
With how possessive/jealous the sister seems to be, I could see some upcoming rivalry if any wrestler ends up being a love interest
.
Abigail's jealousy will definitely continue to play a role. I can already imagine scenes where Abigail refuses to let the MC wrestle in trunks (insisting he wear pants instead), not to mention any time there might be a case where the MC is wrestling another female, etc.
And, I'll break kayfabe a bit to explain something, considering it was mentioned here:
PS: If at some point a character gets the bad habit of cockblocking you so often, you should get the the choice to kick them out of the harem.
I'm sure the scene in question he's talking about is Abigail cockblocking you from the "random fan" that sat in front of you during the VWA show. Well, just for full transparency... That scene only existed to showcase Abigail's jealousy. There is no scenario where the MC could have somehow done something with the fan sitting in front of him. So again, Abigail's jealousy and possessive with the MC will continue to be featured (not to mention increase over time, possibly even into some kind of yandere territory), but it will never be a case of "Abigail's jealousy actively blocks you from content in the game." Hope this clears anything up.
Another thing I was wondering about is if there's any planned update schedule? But even if there isn't, I'm already looking forward to the next update!
That brings me to the last point of topic to address. The update schedule currently is in a bit of uncertainty at the moment. If you haven't noticed the trend so far in the thread, not to mention feedback I've heard elsewhere from F95...
If so ren'py + kinetic novel tag was your way to go, not html.
So I really can't see why you decided to go with html based on what i've saw in the game. If you'll get enough feedback like mine from the players maybe you'll consider to switch before it's too late in development. In any case best of luck mate, making games is a hard thing to do, especially on your own.
I strongly urge you to reconsider and switch to Ren'py while it's still early. I'm somewhere in chapter 2 and I assure you, your ideas and goals, from what I gather, align perfectly with this medium. And not a junky html game, which is far beneath this story and your abilities.
So here's what I'm currently doing: I have the first scene of Update 2 written. It's currently around 4k~ words. I'm then going to do some renders for this first scene, more than I've done for Update 1 but still not as much as a typical VN. Then, I'm going to take my script and my renders... and begin learning Ren'Py, from scratch, as I have effectively 0% knowledge or idea of how Ren'Py works.
So essentially, there will soon be a "Update 2 Ren'Py Demo" which will include just the first scene of Update 2, so that both you and I can get an idea of "What Wrestling Dynasty might look like if it was in Ren'Py." I plan on releasing the Ren'Py demo first in my Discord with priority to those who have found the secret ending and can tell me about it/show me to confirm. If it looks good to them, I'll be releasing it here. If you'd like to potentially get in early on this, consider joining the discussion over at my

I just want to be very clear that this is NOT me confirming Wrestling Dynasty is moving to Ren'Py. This is simply me testing the waters, and if we all (me, most of all) like what we see, then we'll go from there. I don't have an idea as to when the Ren'Py demo will be ready, but hopefully before the end of June.
Regardless of engine, Wrestling Dynasty will remain largely a text-based game, whether in Twine or Ren'Py.
Hope this answers everything, and if not, feel free to ask anything else! See you in the ring!
