Hey everyone!

This week I’ve been focused on writing the Queen route for Chapter 6. One thing I’ve been thinking about is how Kasumi’s route currently has more characters, which makes the two routes feel a bit unbalanced. Kasumi is also a dateable character, which adds to her side’s weight.

Part of the imbalance is due to the side story polling. Nene, Raven, Mika, Ayane, they all have their own stories. So far Queen only has Lisa and Megumi.

To help balance things out, I had been planning on fleshing out queen a lot more in chapter 6. For one I’m introducing a new character to the Queen route. She has been requested for a while by one of our Ultra Tier supporters. Meet Karina.

Karina is an experienced nurse with a detached demeanor. She mostly works with elderly patients and will be introduced into the Queen route as Harumi begins expanding serum trials to older subjects. I think she’ll add an interesting dynamic to the story.

Some lines I already wrote for her are

karina "Difficult patients? You mean the ones who actually have personalities left?"

karina "I'm the nurse. If something goes wrong, call the doctor. If they die, call the coroner. Simple."

Queen will also have the 'test subject' girls. Ryouko which we already saw in the last chapter and a new elderly which I will show off more probably in next weeks post.

On another note, I’ve seen a lot of interest in adding a female bodybuilder. Someone who is already huge before touching the serum. I’ve been workshopping some designs, and I’ve landed on what I think hits the mark. The vibe is a mature tomboy, strong and confident.

She will first appear as an onlooker during the gym dates. When I say onlooker I mean it. She won't be getting much story in chapter 6 since I need to keep the scope in check. But planting her now will result in her being viable for side stories or future encounters in the game.

Let me know what you think of the design! It's not final and some super supporters already said they prefer a different hairstyle.

As for the side story poll from last week, Kaz is winning! I will still leave the poll open for a week so there is a chance for a turnaround. If you're a super supporter, make sure you vote!

If Kaz ends up winning, then it's like we’re speedrunning through the entire teacher roster haha. The next side story will be made after Chapter 6, which gives me room to build her up a bit in the main game before she gets the spotlight.

That’s it for this week. Thanks again for all the support and ideas. You all help shape this project in awesome ways.
