Something a little different today - I thought I'd show you all some of the content that wound up on the cutting room floor!

In the early versions of YU, peeking on your housemates didn't require their permission, and I also had a feature where you could peek in the changing rooms of the gym for voyeurism points. I felt that these were fairly standard adult game things that most people would expect.

However, as I developed the characters and relationships more, I knew I wanted clear consent to be present. It was something I felt other games lacked, and it was important to me to have in my game. But that was at odds with these scenes of peeking at people without their knowledge or permission.

So, I added a permission mechanic to the housemates, and removed peeking in the gym changing rooms entirely. I replaced it with the swimming pool, and admiring people who are out in public instead. I felt these fit in better with the tone of the game. Plus the swimming pool opened up more opportunities!

So there you are, a brief look at what might have been. I'm happy with my decision, but since these images already exist, I thought I might as well share them with you all!

Thanks <3

I appreciate a more wholesome game there are tons of degen content out there in the genre. Thanks for doing what you do

It's pretty cool that you're showing us some of the cut content from the game because it makes me curious on what other mechanics and scenes never made it into the game. Was there any cut content that you wanted to add in but realize you couldn't later on?

Ooh there's plenty of ideas I had that never got past the planning stage - other locations (beach, club), more characters (Freya was cut from release, and three others didn't get much past the concept stage), etc. Most of those I didn't pursue to avoid bloating an already ambitious first project - I'd like to try and have a finished game eventually! I'm glad this post has been interesting, I'll definitely post some more in the future!
