Writing Anabel content this week. It's quite strange giving character to someone who has been in the game for quite a long time. You are used to seeing her around and interacting with her in some events, but most of her character is you just filling in the blanks yourself.

While writing her conflict with Dani, I kind of tried to make it a sort of "both sides have a point" type thing. I don't think that came across at all, but I still like the direction it went in.

For those who haven't read the Dani or Anabel lore dump yet, when they arrived in Blaston they were dumped into a refugee camp/quarantine zone and had to live there for a while. As you can imagine, it was not a nice place and fresh corpses would turn up most mornings.

Anabel is pissed at Dani for consorting with the types of people who likely created those corpses. Utterly refuses to accept that Dani is struggling both financially and mentally. She has a bit of a "we went though the same things and I am okay, therefore so should she be" mentality.

This frankly makes her come across as a bit of a judgemental or uncaring ****. But I kind of like it. I am not a fan of writing perfect characters and for her to be a generally nice person, but have such a huge character flaw, to the point it is destroying her own friendship, is something I am taking a liking to.

Also I will be putting a bugfix update out for yesterdays release, so check it out.

When the dance girl content and storyline is finished do you plan on working on Casino content?

Love seeing all these characters getting more life and lore! Just curious i heard itch.io was putting free games back up on their site, is there truth to that so far for you?

Sam Tail

Casino, robin x oskar, fliers job and some other bits. Then onto main story

Andrew Boyce

I like it. Perfect characters are the enemy of good stories.

Sam Tail

I read they were, but I haven't checked the status of my game yet

Min

Its a step in the right direction anyways if true! Keep up the great work Sam!

Fixer is back up

This makes me wonder tho where Ana is currently living. If both are coming out of a camp, why does Dani struggle with money and mind and Ana seems to be fine in that regard. Maybe she could have one of the few "proper" job that also pay well?

I love it and do agree with imperfect characters. If The Fixer were full of perfect characters Blaston wouldnt be what it is!

Interesting, it's something interesting, I wonder how it will affect the story in the future.

This is probably way off the tone of the fixer, but have you ever heard the term "survival sex work" before? The term is used to refer to people offering sex in exchange for food or shelter or any other means to basically let them continue to be alive. Fucking a guy so that he'll let you stay at his place instead of bring homeless or so he'll buy you a meal so you can actually get something to eat are pretty archetypical examples of survival sex work. As you describe the conflict, Anabel just seems pissed off at Dani for engaging in survival sex work with fucked up individuals. That doesn't cast her in the best light I'll freely admit but it does give you material to navigate the conflict since such a conflict would by no means be novel in our world as well! If you're interested on reading up on this concept for the sake of the fixer's story, there's been tons and tons of written on the term from both people who've gone through it and those who have just studied it.

Have I told you I love your writing style? Because I love it.

Guren

So in the end do we have to choose a side or we make a miracle and somehow make them friends again but with a better understanding of each others ?

Guren

Also is there a plan to have dani or anabel even both or others character as roomate, because i'm not gonna lie i kinda want to see how ananbel react to robin's lifestyle
