Love Addict's RPG Ch. 23

He expected Mia to be there already. His talk and subsequent roasting with Tessa took a couple of minutes, enough time for her to clock out, throw on her trademark hoodie, and freshen up if she had to. She was nowhere to be found, so Oliver sat at the front bench and picked up the pieces of his ego.

As he did, he thought about his interaction with Tessa in more detail.

She was snarky with him, sure, but there was a marked improvement in her attitude toward him. Did the five points...

Love Addict's RPG Ch. 22

I wrote this and 23 together so as soon as I edit that one I'll post it, too.

"Why didn't you try and stop me sooner...?" Oliver groaned, regretting his decisions while sprawled out across his bed like a miserable lout.

"I did!" Bradley hovered over him, smiling a smile that dared to border on 'I told you so'. "Multiple TIMES, at that! Repeatedly did I EXTOL the dangers of [Over Exerting Yourself], but ALAS!"

"You should've extolled harder."

"And YOU should'v...

Love Addict's RPG Ch. 21

Friday, February 16th

Oliver awoke the next morning to not-so comforting sound of bland, repetitive music. His day was only just getting started, and he already dreaded having to put up with this. He didn't even have the luxury of waking up and wondering if everything from the day before was all just some crazy dream. The proof was right there in his eardrums. If that wasn't proof enough, he had even more on his phone.

Oliver groggily opened his messages from the night before, smi...

Rebecca Bergman Character Profile

Random detour before I start work on chapter 21. In some of the earlier design documents I mentioned that I potentially wanted Mia to have a shy friend because all of the currently planned heroines are feisty to extent. Mia is chill, but she's very passionate and Oliver doesn't have anyone who is meek and submissive. Stacy will be, but not in the same way I'm speaking of. Anyway, I had this idea for the last couple of days and decided to fully flesh it out so that she can be referenced and po...

Vol 1 Outline Pt. 3

Work/First real date

• Oliver and Mia get back to work stocking cold products but they have an interaction with Stacy and Bradley. Stacy teases them but Bradley is supportive, whispering to ask Oliver how it went. He fills him in and the two share a bro moment while the girls are mostly unaware. Bradley offers him a couple of potential date spots since he just went out for dinner with her already and he doesn't think repeating the same thing so quickly is a good idea. The recommenda...

Vol 1 Outline Pt 2

This isn't done. I'm going to write more outlin

More Art Instructions

Me and Urban are getting ready to do the thing with the artist we've chosen and I thought I'd share these loose sketches I did for them to base them off of. Oliver doesn't have emotion sprites like the other ones do and I didn't do expressions for Mia because we already have another artist who did them but can't use them since he's unavailable to do the rest, so we're just having Jann base hers off of the ones we already have.

Oliver Portrait Progression

I didn't like how the koikatsu model I made for him turned out so I sketched him myself since we have an artist we're going to try to make some of the stuff we need, namely the profile art. That's why I've included instructions.

Oliver is not a femboy despite looking a little girly. I learned that lesson the hard way. His physique is also going to get more and more masculine as he increases his strength stat, further separating him from Coye.

The next outline is coming out really ...

Cover Mockup

I made a very quick and easy example for future demonstrative purposes on what the covers could look like. Obviously Mia wouldn't be wearing that, it was just the only 3/4ths view of her model I had on hand lol

Doing a bust up like it's a VN sprite should significantly cut down on the costs, though, and I can make the glitchy aesthetic BGs myself for them.

Love Collector Ch. 20

Big one because I really like writing texting scenes and get carried away lol

---

Bradley is going to be fine, Oliver convinced himself by repeating the thought over and over and over and over again until it finally started to sound somewhat believable. Realistically, he wasn't much weirder than your average Vista Venus native. People would probably assume he was one of those odd robot-themed mimes from the boardwalk who took their performance way too seriously or somethi...

Big Update Journal

Hey  guys, posting this ahead of chapter 20 which will be done very soon,  just have to edit it. So, let’s talk about how the new series is going. I  personally think it’s going very good. I’m having a lot of fun working  on it, it’s easy to write, and my motivation has increased greatly since  I really got it going.

I think it’s safe to say that I’m going to be focused on it from now on.  As far as how I’m going to release it, I think I’v...

Love Collector Ch. 19

Sorry this took a bit, I was hung up on 19 because of the lack of outline since again most of what Oliver and Bradley were supposed to cover had already been said. 20 is almost done though, and then I'll make a blog about my plans.

---

"[Wowza Dowza], that IS one [Hell of a Strategy]!" Bradley exclaimed after Oliver finished telling him his intentions. "Are you SURE that's how you WANT to do this?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. Desperate times call for desperate measures."

The plan...

Love Collector Ch. 18

It was strange to admit, but thanks to Bradley, Oliver was in a better mood now. Accepting that his powers were sourced from a psychic awakening was easier than it should've been. He had proof of his desires spilling out onto the world, so there wasn't much else he could do about it other than shrug.

Oliver was ready to tackle what came next and was glad he didn't have to do so alone. Even if his partner in crime was a thoughtform taking up permanent residence in the uncanny valley, it ...

Love Collector Ch. 17

Sorry this one took a few days. I was feeling a little sick and on top of that this required a lot of changing from the outline since Oliver figures out like 80% of what Bradley was supposed to exposit to him before buying the skill. On top of that I removed some junk so that it's not overstuffed, things like Bradley knowing Oliver's mom can come later.

---

There. It was over and done with, so now all he had to do was wait. Oliver wasn't sure how long it was supposed to take. The ...

Love Collector Ch. 16

This was the big one. In any RPG, skill customization allows players to tailor their game experience by mixing and matching abilities, creating a play style that is all their own. In porn RPGs, the skill tree was typically focused on circumventing consent in one way or another. Oliver was afraid that would be the case for his own. He hoped for the best while expecting the worst and got a little bit of both.

The skill menu opened.

Right away, he was met with two options. 'Personal'...

Love Collector Ch. 15

The heroine menu popped into existence. It was a vertical list that featured the word 'Heroines' at the top and then had portraits of Mia, Stacy, and Tessa in that order running down the length with their names to their right. The empty heart icons he'd seen before were present along with their current affection levels, making it apparent that the three different women were sorted by that and not by the order they were encountered.

Seeing Mia's affection sitting at seventy-five brought ...

Love Collector Ch. 14

Oliver leaned against his car while checking his phone. His bank account confirmed what Tessa and the status notification had already told him. She'd paid him his daily wages on top of a hundred-dollar bonus, but the surprises didn't end there. The money for his last eight days of work was also present and accounted for.

Yesterday, his account had only a hundred dollars, which was all he had to last until payday tomorrow.

Today, he had $1,235.

For once, Oliver knew exactly w...

Love Collector Ch. 13

Minor thing I forgot to have in 12, Oliver got 5 LP for getting Mia's number.

---

Getting summoned to Tessa's office was always a nerve-racking experience for Oliver. Anyone who entered left a changed and broken man. Tessa had a way of ruining someone's day just by looking them in the eye, and that very fate had befallen him on more than one occasion. Oliver usually managed to avoid pissing her off enough that she would actually call him to her lair, but when it did, the results w...

Love Collector Ch. 12

Surprise, was very inspired today so here's a second one. It's quite different from the scene in the outline, because that one didn't make sense contextually anymore. It wasn't a big deal to Mia that he blanked out for so long, but I didn't know they were gonna have a big moment where he promised they'd talk more before that. So, it kind of had to change.

Additionally I think this served a really good narrative purpose for Oliver and will hopefully make him more likeable for learning th...

Love Collector Ch. 11

Chapter early today because I'm doing so well on this that I'm ahead of schedule.

---

Oliver couldn't think of another time he'd been so excited to clock in because today it meant spending a whole day with Mia. He made it back to the lounge with her, she stashed her jacket on a rack, and they donned their aprons together. Still feeling his massive surge in confidence and ready to step out of his bubble, Oliver commented on the pins she put on today. They were random villains out o...

Love Collector Ch. 10

God it feels so much better to be back to writing cute shit. Very excited for the future, I think Mia and Oliver have a ton of chemistry.

---

"I dunno where to start, really..." Oliver expressed. "It's not like my problems are all that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things."

"So what?" Mia shrugged. "Even privileged white boys like you have things weighing them down."

He laughed at that and eased up even further. "Man. As a privileged white boy, it feels amazing ...

Love Collector Ch. 9

Minor edit, going to have the heroine registrations count as 100LP now. Will go back and change Stacy's to reflect.

---

Mia route; confirmed.

All was right with the world as everything that happened with Stacy repeated itself. There was a shift in the music playing inside Oliver's head, and for the first time since this phenomenon began, it wasn't painfully grating on the ears or mind-numbingly generic.

Mia's theme was a slow and quiet acoustic guitar song that evoked ...
