Meeting Locations and Info

So here's some quick info on the girls that'll be introduced in the next couple of updates. It looks like the cooking update will be the first one (though it could really be any of them at this early stage)

So my plan for most of the girls is simple: You can first meet them in different places, and first impressions count! Feel free to add any comments or discussion below (or message me directly if you're shy!)

Cooking update girls:

Patty:

As she's the player's cubicle neighbour, I plan to have her introduced on the first work day. Make sure to keep the conversation casual and friendly, you don't want to get reported to HR!

I'll probably be adding Patty (as well as a few other Non-Dateable(ND) office characters) in the first major update, though she'll only be available in the cooking update! Otherwise she'll just be someone to chat with at work. (I already used the lyrics from every working song I know! There isn't much more filler I can add there)

Chloe:

As she teaches a cooking course, the most obvious location to meet her is to sign up for it! (If this update comes out after the money update, the course will cost some money though!)

As a slight aside, where I live we have a strip of bars, pubs and clubs (I assume it's pretty much the same everywhere) So I plan to have multiple clubs available (eventually) for the player to check out. Chloe would fit right in at a 70s disco club, or maybe a roller rink.

Money update girls:

Diana:

She works in the same building as the player, as a secretary(?) The player might run into her at work.

Of course, in her off hours she loves dancing at the club (The more exclusive the better!) So if you want to meet her there, you'd better suit up! (If the money update gets added after the skills update, you'll be able to impress her with your dancing skills!

Grace:

Works at the local monster mart sort of place. (I'm basing it off an ALDI store). Not thrilled with her job, and even less thrilled when customers ask her out!

She likes to hang out in lonely places outside of work though, maybe you could meet her there? Or better yet, maybe Emily will introduce you? She seems to be friends with everyone!

One of my main plans with this game is to have the ability to befriend these girls rather than just go out with them. If the player is good friends with Emily and still single, Emily might try and set them up with one of her friends! (blind dates will occur quite a bit later in development though)

Skill update girls:

Roxanne:

If you've played the Alpha, you've probably already heard Emily mention her! She works at a nearby gym as a personal trainer! Introduce yourself to her, maybe Emily mentioned you already?

(If the skill update comes out after the money update, the gym will cost money, but if you're a friend of Emily's, maybe you can get a discount?)

Flora:

Where does one meet quiet, shy girls? The library of course! She may not be too thrilled to be interrupted while she's studying though. Maybe find some common ground with her to break the ice? She's friend's with Emily, so maybe have her put in a good word?

Overall, I want the cast of the game to be dynamic and interactive with each other, even without the player's presence. Being a friend of a friend can be a great way to get to know someone after all! (And this is quite a while a way, but maybe you'd get to introduce your girlfriend to your other friends!)

Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions!
