Omg, this looks so pretty and the story, characters and poly relationship is a top notch! Female protagonist quality mature/adult relationship with 18+ content are lacking, so It's like your answered our prayers(we prayed for more erotica aimed at women). Thank you and I wish you luck!
I'm gonna give a really long response, sorry, but I think this could be helpful for other IF writers who stumble across it because you brought up such a good point.
A bit of lore. I applied to Heart's Choice (Choice of Games romance publisher) during the pandemic and got rejected, but I couldn't shake the idea of doing an IF. Meanwhile, I'd been drafting/worldbuilding Bride of Shadows as a novel series in my spare time for a few years. I'd been planning to take a semester off from teaching and write book #1 this year, but in November I stumbled across Arcadie: Second Born on Steam. Until then, it never occurred to me that I could just make an IF on my own and self-publish it, so I started doing research and learning Twine in December.
My husband was very confused that suddenly I was making a game and I can't blame him because my biggest doubt was that I didn't see other IFs like this. Most of the other popular ones were either smut (which is fun, no shade, I'm just one of those chicks that needs emotional attachment with erotic stories) or open-gender high fantasy aimed at everyone. I probably told my husband like 100 times "this isn't going to go well because you can't play as a guy, there are only two ROs, and they're both guys" but secretly I suspected there'd be at least a small niche for erotic fantasy romance IFs aimed at women because it was exactly what I wanted.
If the response so far has been any indication, there's definitely a big hunger for this sort of thing. Rest assured, I'm thrilled and I have every intention of continuing with the full story, getting new episodes out asap, and ultimately publishing it as a full game. I've purposely structured the story so that it won't become too overwhelming. I think a lot of IF authors get burnt out because they feel like they have to stuff the story with lots of characters, which bogs down the creative process. I also structured the IF so that instead of having to wait 1-2 months for new chapters, I can publish in episodic format, uploading new nights every 1-2 weeks, which imo is amazing for avoiding burnout because you have much smaller goalposts to hit. It's the difference between having a goal of running five kilometers and five-hundred meters. One is a lot less likely to leave you overwhelmed and wanting to throw in the towel.
tl;dr: I love this format for my story, I've taken a lot of preemptive measures to avoid burnout, and I'm in this for the long haul. Also, if anyone reads this and is thinking of doing a female protagonist erotic romance IF, go for it!
