The next update!
Added 2021-07-31 03:45:26 +0000 UTCLooks like Chloe won the poll! She'll be dateable in the next update! She won't have as much stuff to do as Emily does at first, but I'll slowly expand options as I go.
I'm surprised how close it was, I just threw Shiori in there as a third option, but she proved pretty popular too! I'll try and add her soon as well. Grace I think will be better suited for later (but she may show up earlier as a non-datable character)
As for the next update, I'll be doing heaps of stuff. I'm hoping this one will be my largest update yet, as I get more in control of what I need to be doing for each.
Here's what I have planned (though some stuff might need to be added in a later update if this one takes too long):
- A redesign of the intro, complete with a small amount of character customisation.
- New dialogue to reflect this customisation (not very much though!)
- A more freeform flow to the early game, instead of it being a single linear story. The player basically chooses where to go and which girl to interact with.
- An official storyline for each character. This will focus on more realistic weight gain scenarios, and handling this fetish in an adult relationship. These will all involve a kind of "confession" moment that the player has, where they reveal their fetish.
- Some future dateable characters showing up as extras in this part.
- More additional characters in general. Just fleshing out the world a little bit.
- A couple more dates for Emily to go on with the player, to make it feel more like a developing relationship, rather than a sudden jump like I have currently.
- One more "magical" scenario for Emily. This won't be a feel good one though.
- Chloe as a dateable character
- Ideally, I'd like to give her 3 full dates as well (though we'll see) before officially dating.
- She'll also have a "main" storyline.
- There will also be 2 "magical" weight gain scenarios with her. I'll be talking to my $9+ patrons about what those will be!
- Background music! It'll probably be a little loud and jarring at first as I learn how to put it in the game properly, but it's better than absolute silence!
- Polish stuff! I'll be re-writing the van stuff, and hopefully adding a bit more to the cliff walk beforehand.
- If I've got time, I'll try to redo a few of the worst backgrounds
- Slight tweaks here and there to some scenes to make them fit in with the new direction I'm going in with the game.
- Making the "magical" scenarios have a mundane path through them. Basically turning them into regular dates, where the story will continue afterwards.
- If time, I'll try to redo the dialogue for them if the player has confessed or not beforehand.
This will take a lot of time, so I'll probably end up cutting a fair bit before the update gets released. You probably don't want to wait 3 months for the next update (and I don't want to take that long to get it done). So I'll be aiming to get it done as quickly as possible. Worst case scenario, some of the content will end up in the update after this one.

So there will be a core 'mundane' path from which different scenarios branch? Sounds a lot like the Stanley Parable and that's great by me. I'm also very excited for the new dates and non magical paths with Emily
