Not on hold, we're working on the next scenes. The ideas we had for the final initiation into Zeta have turned out longer and more complicated than expected so it's taking a while. New release may not be soon, but the game is being worked on.
We have a fairly solid plot outline and scene list for about the first year of the story, and a big brainstorm cloud of ideas for where to continue from there. Plans always open to change though.
There's a lot of sorority politics, Terri will continue causing trouble. There'll be opportunities to explore deeper romantic connections with some characters, either explusively or polyamorously, though it is always possible to stay single. If you're on the Max casual dating path, he will eventually want to define the relationship. Soraya is coming back, her exit disappointed some people so I always assure now that we're not done with her, and she'll get the chance to overcome her shyness a bit.
I think the kind of sex scenes we already have in the game largely set the tone for how the nsfw side plays out, though we are holding back some stuff. For example we have plans for some heavier bdsm content which we're holding for when a stronger and more trusting relationship has been laid down (though you can start building the foundations for those by domming Max or subbing for Alissa in the current scenes). And those poly-ships I mentioned open the door for group encounters, of which we currently only have one.
Roger that for the story,
And in term of sex content, would it be evenly spread out?
As far as I understand, we have 4 categories:
1. Straight Dom
2. Straight Sub
3. Lesbian Dom
4. Lesbian Sub
(Bisexual and Switch can fit in any of those 4 categories).
Would we get around 25% NSFW content for each type?
Don't get me wrong, I love this type of clear cut choice, this seems to be the only game with this type of visible option. So to me at least, it makes this game unique.
I am just afraid of ending up with only one paragraph of "action" since there is theoretical 4 time the workload because you need to write scenes for each of the above scenario. At least to me, it seems our choice are very limited during the NSFW scene. A bit like 4 pages of teasing for 4 lines of intercourse.
And will the content for each character be the same too no matter our preference?
For e.g, if we decide to domming Alissa and become the queen ourselves, would that cut down the amount of content with her compare to if we were subbing?
Thanks,
P-S: Can you remind me what group encounter (poly-ships) are you referring currently? I think I may have missed that one.
It's not exactly that clear cut with the categories I don't think. I think most scenes would be accessible regardless of dom/sub preference, we would only be gating a few specific paths not a quarter of the game each. If I may ask, what sort of choices would you like to be seeing in the nsfw scenes? If you think what we have so far has been limited I'd love to expand the possibilities.
So in terms of group encounters; the one scene that does exist is if you go clubbing with Gia you can pick up two guys. That's a one off event. We don't have any actual committed polyamorous relationships yet (we don't have any commited monogamous relationhips yet either) but there are plans to develop some relationships that way.
I am happy to hear that for the content.
As for the nsfw scenes, it purely a personal opinion. For me, it would be more optimal if we could get more control in the sex scene themselves? Especially if we are playing as a Dom character? It will make sense if you play as a Dom to have a say in what action you wish to get in the bedroom (maybe less if you play as a Sub).
A little bit like when you play as a male character in erotica game and it has the option of "oral, vaginal or anal" for the same scene, the famous "inside or outside", "in the mouth, on the face, on the tits" or even during the sex, the "gentle (pat her head) or rough (grab her head/hair) option". I am also thinking that without animation/art/sound, it may be more realistic and less time consuming to add than if you had to drawn every single variation like in an actual video game. Of course, there is still the coding part but I am happy with just pure text for the content.
It's nothing too crazy, but it just let you feel more like it's an interactive story instead of a simple erotica story to read during the nsfw for example.
I fully understand that it's a different context as a female MC since the "tool" is different (although maybe with strap-on?).
And again, it only my personal take and I do not wish to monopolize my own preference above the other player one's. I sadly don't have the budget to commission the game on my own 😆 so everyone should have a say into this.
On the other hand, you also mentioned more heavier BDSM content down the line, so maybe this was something already more or less in the making? Another point against me is that I was playing simply as a Lesbian MC only, so I am unsure how the Straight sex scene with male NPC was written. So maybe it was here all the time and I was just using the wrong orientation. In that case, I apologize for that.
Just quickly for the group encounter, will we get an all female one too? Or will it always be M/F? Again, testing the water if we play a Lesbian MC !
Thank again,
