Roadmap V2

Greetings everyone,

not sure how many of you remember the old roadmap I posted way back in August. Needless to say a lot has happened since back then. And since me and the authors have been talking a bit about the story the last days, I dug out my old roadmap and decided to adjust it a bit.

So I was able to place a lot of "Done" icons over stuff that was previously cooking 😁
The big difference is though, that Act 2 got split into two parts. I was a huge fan of the split story arcs with their way of progressing the story and characters, but I also feel like they limited the players freedom. Even if Gina's arc returns to the classic gameplay, the "high-intensity" of the current story logically needs to be addressed first, before we could get deeper into romance-related events.

But this is what the new Act 3 is indented for. Act 2 will end on the next big update and there could be a little period of "cease-fire", in which both parties prepare themselves for the big showdown, gathering info and building their strength (in Gina's case quite literally). So in this phase we will get to know the girls better and go on a few dates probably 😉

As for the growth: I wrote consistent growth and this will be the main method in the future. Every girl will accumulate some points of strength passively, which can be increased by progressing possible quest-lines and by training in the gym together with Gina. Just like Gina, once they reach a certain threshold, they might grow. So the players have some influence on which girls grow first, but the others won't be completely left behind, even if they are left to train alone.
Doesn't mean there won't be any story-related growth happening anymore, but it's mostly training for them.

All in all we should be roughly at the half-way point after we finished update 4/Arc 2. But take this with a grain of salt, since my own plans have changed a few times in the past and I'm no longer writing this alone too. So lets see what the Arc 4 will be like then.

That's all. Have a nice week and I'll stay in touch.
