One Day at a Time Endings (We're not close yet, but I just want to explain some things)

This will be a long post, just warning you!

I'm sort of starting to drop hints about the endings with the girls. At least the solo ones anyway (like I said, we're pretty far out, I just want to let you guys know how it will work so there's no confusion). I'll reference two games that kinda did them like I'm going to do them. But it will be more of a mixture of the two, or a hybrid if you will, and we'll have a haremish sort of ending as well, for those who just can't pick one girl.

Now, the harem ending will seem kind of out of place if there were girls you avoided in the game, because they'll be included in it regardless. There's really no way to do it other than that way, so think of it more as a fantasy type thing if you weren't with all the girls the whole game. And the reason I say harmish, is because they're not gonna all live in one house, it will sort of be a "things go on like that are" type of deal.

Anyway, back to the two games they will be like. The first is Life with Mary, and the second is Melody."

Most of the girls will have solo endings, where you'll be presented with a choice to kind of run away with them. For instance if you paid attention in the last update MC asks Melissa if she ever thought about going back to New York one day, and she responds with "under certain conditions". Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, wink, wink."

Some of the other girls you may choose to be with, but still say in town, I haven't decided yet, but the ending will be focused on the single girl, and the others won't be talked about too much. So, that's how the solo endings will play out in my mind.

They'll come to you with an offer, or ask if you'd like to be with just them at some point, if you have met their point requirements (just like for a sex scenes etc...). You will have the option to turn them down, and they will be cool with that and the game will continue. But if you choose to accept their offer, you will then go to their ending. I will put on the choices that lead to the endings (Audrey's Ending) or (Melissa's Ending). So, for example:

Melissa

"You know how you asked me about moving back to New York, well I'd do it, but only if you came with me, is that something you would want?"

MC

"Yes I really would, I love you Melissa, and I think I only want to be with you. (Melissa's Ending)"

OR

"I think I'd like to keep things the way they are right now between us."

Then, Melissa might say something like "It was just a thought, and that's cool."
...and the game continues (there may even be more sexy times with Melissa after you turn her down), so you won't be punished for turning them down.

I would of course encourage all of you to make a save before each ending, so you can see it, then reload the save and turn them down, so you can continue on with the rest of the game.

It will go on like this until you get to Lydia, in a specific order. For instance someone like Kayla would be one of the first, and someone like Barb or Audrey would be one of the last.

Once you get to Lydia, you'll be given three options, and I won't give examples, I'll just say what they are.

Note: Mary's solo ending will be the one right before this.

The first two scenario's I consider to be the cannon endings to the game. The third I've already explained.

-Be with just Lydia (again if you have the points).

-Be with Lydia and Mary (this will be the only threesome ending, because it makes the most sense, and you'll have to qualify for it too).

-I don't think I can choose just one of you, I care about you all too much. (Harem Ending) (This will be available to everyone)

Like I said we still have a few chapters to go til this starts happening (probably at least 3, if not 4), because MC has to finish the steps and some other things have to happen. I just don't want people to be confused when it starts happening. I think this is the walkthrough maker in me wanting you to have clarity about stuff.

So, I hope that explains how One Day at a Time will wrap up when we get to that point, and just because the endings start certainly doesn't mean the games over at that point. As I said earlier, there will be more content after until we get to the final cannon ending, but I've gotta put the solo endings in there somewhere, and I'm not a fan of one big ass choice list at the end of the game, where the developer keeps adding to it, and by the end you've got 10 endings in one choice. One Day at a Time is much too organic to do that, and I need all the characters to tell the complete story.

Alright, sorry so long winded (hope you made it to this point), but I wanted to make sure you understood!

I'll have a dev update for Ch. 15 on the 12th as normal!

Hope you are all doing well. Cheers!
