In a reply to my last post, "Banisher" asked about having an option for kind of sex-on-demand.

I think it's a great idea and was part of what I intended with Ashley, for example. I've been trying to build a library of alternate scenes with Ashley in between other things and it would be good in the longer term to do the same with some of the other girls. Given there's the little studio apartment upstairs at the office, there's a ready location for that to occur with the girls at the office and it has the advantage of being a fixed location.

But, as always it's a matter of bandwidth! My biggest problem is finding the time to do everything and still advance the story at a reasonable pace.

There are storylines in the game that start and finish fairly quickly, and other arcs that take considerably more time. Lois's LactoMax journey, for example, won't finish for several weeks in the game and that could be a year or more away in the real world.

There's a gap during the time MC's in a coma after getting stabbed but, apart from that, the game has covered MC's life on a day-by-day basis. Some days are quieter than others, especially at the beginning and I'm tempted to backfill or pad out some of those at some point.

Some events are dependent on the calendar - the July 4 party being an obvious example. I have one event planned that depends on there being a full moon (sorry, no were-sluts) and that's still a little way out in game time.

Incidentally, I didn't originally intend to be specific about the timeframe of the game but finally settled on it being 2020 when the game begins. That's the recent past and allows a little flexibility in not always having the VERY latest cars, for example.

So I am contemplating an occasional "A Week Later..." type of thing but that represents a break from the continuity of the game and I'm on the fence about whether to do that.

On the other hand, there are things that work against that. I still have a lot of work to do on the new house that MC's moving into and that would have to be finished before I can advance the timeline in the game very much. You don't always think of these things until you've already made the commitment!

Your thoughts are welcome!

I think jumping a few days or a week ones in a while, to for example make the house complete is totally fine. But more then a week i think is to much as we have to have an sense of progress for Lois boobs. If the game had chapters like in a book, it might be easier for you to find natural jump points. When Lois boobs story is done, there will be the problem of the pregnancy taking lots of time, so then jumping a month forward ones in a while might be needed instead.

Thanks for the quote, happy you like the idea. And for the jumps, my opinion is : Hell yes, definitely great when you can fit it in. You can probably prepare the jump by closing very short term storyline or explaining their delay. But I am sure you know this all small storytelling tricks. To be very honest, I feel that such a chapter approach gives you more freedom to concentrate on the interesting stories before the mundane ones. If you like it. What made your decision to have a daily routine in the first place?

Do we have a date of release ?

I want to say a few days, but every time I do that, something comes up! I'm 99% sure it'll be before the end of the month - I don't want people thinking I stretch things to make them pay for another month, so I do try to beat that deadline!

The daily routine just seemed like the natural way to approach things. I think making the game "episodic" would detract from it. There are little things that occur in MCs daily life that don't seem significant at the time, but sow the seeds for later events and it's fun to see if people pick up on those.

What's been going on with the Sisterhood?

We'll be revisiting them very soon! MC will be learning more about them and they may be getting a new recruit...
