i dont think you are wrong, but to me, it would be easier to manage. you could even have either a focused 90% content developed for 1 char per update, or something like 20% for a few per. being able to replay it(like dates with sex scenes) would allow them to stay relevant.

then again, im a defender of only adding as much as you can content for. so to me, instead of having 30+ i would make 5, and add 5 as i finish the ones before.
Making it a sandbox would be a TERRIBLE idea

Most people dont like sandbox, and chaging the game in the middle of the game would be like giving the majority of your players the middle finger, and if the game would have been a sandbox since the start, it wouldnt have the success it has

Not to mention, it wouldnt solve any issues at all. Sandbox is just an excuse for Devs to add gameplay time without adding real gameplay and story to the game, but you still need to develop it.

What we need is for Braindrop to get a development cycle that works for him, and then we wouldnt need any other change

I agree that making it a sandbox would be a bad idea, it's just unfortunate that he's used structuring that really only works in a sandbox to make the game feel bloated. I think that's part of why the downtime is so long, in addition to all the other problems the dev has. He's spinning too many plates.

The funny thing is, if he just stopped making shallow content for 85% of the girls and never acknowledged it, I don't think most people would care very much.

I don't know why devs always have to keep putting more and more girls in their games, this just end up getting in the way of developing the already existing ones.
Not only that, the time we spend with each one is less and less until it's all meaningless.

It is already too much in this game. Jamie and Shauna are Missing in Chapter 2 so far with 3 updates. It wouldn't be an issue on a fast updated game like GH, but when you have 3 small updates in a year and your 2 main girlfriends aren't in any of them, it is a problem.

But adding ever more girls is NOT the answer if the game feels stalled. But, what do I know, I am NOT a Dev....

Peace :)

Having new characters or girls isn't the issue per say, the issue is when you want to make the new character a larger part of the overall story. It becomes hard to give them much time without a lot more work and risks of running into writers block trying to figure out what to do with everyone. If it was running into new character a couple times thing. It would have little to no impact.

In my opinion a dev should have at least a ruff draft of the whole game instead of working on it an update at a time. This would make things so much smoother. Especially for solo devs that want to make the game themself.

Braindrop allegedly had years of game drafted

Myself, I have no issue with the volume of LIs, but I would agree that there's a lack of focus or clarity as to which girls are mains and which are sides. Some LIs have story and personality, and some don't. I wouldn't want BD to try and add personality to the sides, but if they're mains, yeah.

i disagree, making it a sandbox would help the game alot. i think you are confusing bad sandbox games. that either dont make use of its gameplay, or force terrible grinding.

Like i said already, to me, it would fix the problem with the amount of girls, as it would give each of them a better pacing. and a road to develop them(and the story).

and i highly doubt the game would be worse than it already is. with this directionless, kinetic novel just keep the button held to progress.

Yp there is high sexual tension :cool:
I'm not privy to the Dev thoughts, but from all indications so far, there will be NO incest, not even with the adoptive (surrogate) mother.

That doesn't mean that BD can't change his mind, I truly, truly doubt it. Why? Patreon is his job. That's his moneymaker. He will not do anything to jeopardize that, and with the rules imposed on Patreon by the payment processors, that Patreon has to enforce under penalty of litigation and financial troubles, incest is NOT going to happen. Unless those rules change (wouldn't bet on it).

I know that you are all well informed and all that, but this is way bigger than just making a few scenes with this character or another. For him to please all of us that enjoy that content, he would have to drop all income from Patreon, without any real payoff for doing it. Just go to his patreon page and see how much we are talking about here, and ask yourselves if you'd do it, I don't need to think I wouldn't even consider it.

Peace :)

I think making it a sandbox game would lose a significant portion of the audience, myself included. The format almost never adds complexity in a good and engaging way, it's almost always confusing, slower, and grindy for no good reason. Taste aside, from a pure development standpoint, the amount of complexity added if BD can't literally go in a straight line narratively would almost assure we never saw another update again.

If this was to ever turn into a sandbox this would be killing yourself instead of shooting yourself. Or better yet
