BTS 08/14/2020

Ahh happy to be back into the swing of things.  Normally these segments are for 5 and up, but I think I'll make the first one after a major release available for everybody so that the 1 folks can get an idea of whats up and decide for themselves if it's worth upgrading.

I wanted to post a bit about Aoife  in our last BTS series but I realized that damn near anything I posted about her would have spoiled things so I had to put it on the backburner until after Ch.3

As you can tell Aoife is fairly physically unchanged from her HS version, except for her penchant of more athletic clothing instead of sundresses and the like.  She's also incredibly close to her original personality as well, I would go so far as to say she's the only character who had absolutely no changes from her original conception.

 I always envisioned Aoife to be an absolute subversion of the "bitchy rich girl" trope, as such I decided to model her archetype somewhat on the anime style "Genki Girl."  Despite her wealth and stereotypical nepotistic upbringing I always wanted her to come off as positive and fun, but without the naivete.  For all her joy Aoife is incredibly aware of how lucky she is and the status she holds and tries her best to not let that define her.   Her relationship with her mother/ family will be a large part of her growth going forward as a character and I'm excited for you all to see what I have planned.

I mentioned in my Beatrix BTS that in my original script her and Aoife hated each other and that I changed it, though you may have noticed a few allusions to them not always being so close in the current script,  I can't say anything without spoilers but I wonder what might have caused them to become close?

That's all for this weeks BTS, I'll be spending the weekend coding and check in again  on Wednesday.  For you 5 and up folks next Friday I'll be having two cosmetic polls one for our resident hellion Kim and one for delicate little Lyndie so keep your eyes open.  

Thank you for your support and please stay safe out there.

 Sláinte!
