I commission art, which is expensive, time-consuming, and depends on artist availability - pretty much everything I've ever made from the game has gone right back into art/music commissions haha.

There are a few other characters that don't have art as well (Olivia in Ashley's badon scene, the Knight-commander, etc), everyone having art is pretty recent. For most of the game, it was just text boxes or a mix of text boxes and art.

Male Sam was an experiment that didn't go nearly as well as hoped, while making it much harder to update female Sam, so unfortunately he is getting removed in 0.22. There will be other bros in the future (no NTR).

What was the intent for the male Sam experiment? Depending on what you were thinking, the general idea could be repurposed - say, for example, Samantha being temporarily gender-bent. It might be a chance for her to see that she was actually pretty feminine in the first place. I have the impression that she feels a bit insecure on that front.

Anyhow, Badon should be a pretty good chance to dig into lore and how the characters relate to the world. For example, a food stall can reveal that Maya's beastkin nose is too sensitive around certain foods, maybe a festival that celebrates in honor of felled angels, and so forth. I am guessing that Metatron would feel a bit disturbed at (false?) remains being displayed, much like real-world saints.

The original idea is that he'd be a source of MMF content, and if you didn't like Ashley you could set him up with her. Didn't seem like people were very interested in that and his mere existence made FSam harder to add content to, so I ended up dropping him. There may be MMF content in the future with other characters, idk, but I don't really want to deal with the anti-NTR crowd deciding everything is NTR so I'm not really eager to jump into that lol.

I definitely have plans for a number of Badon dates/adventures, will hopefully get to those in the near future! Some interesting ideas there.

I am interested in the potential interplay of Sam(uel) and Celica, both verbal and licentious. While I don't think a full Samuel route would pay off, a divergence that has Sam sticking their wick into Celica's candleholder is certainly something I like to envision.

Mind, how that can happen without Celica learning Apocalypse from pure anger and ending Samantha's world would be quite a needle to thread.

Ha, I can almost hear the NTR shitstorm already. Celica is usually 2nd or 3rd most popular girl in polls, don't think people wanna share. I can't imagine that ending well, but female sam/celica competitive sex could be funny... if they can even get along that well.

Ah, sorry, I didn't know. Glad to see that there will be other bro's tough!

Its a bit of a shame there will never be a male Sam. But other male bros could be good. I do want Astaroth to have a bro to hang out with.

I like the idea of a Male Sam and Ashley relationship, I like Ashley quite a lot especially after recent revelations but I could have gone for that. It is what it is though.

I'm not a fan of NTR either but I really wouldn't have minded seeing more than one happy couple come out of all this.

Maybe a future bro could be blessed with Ashely, Sam or another girls attention. I can be happy with a mere 4 or 5 ladies, I'm not greedy :P

Ultimately, it's on me for assuming that it'd be easier to have a character with optional genders. Having to write all of their scenes twice, or cut out stuff for male Sam, was just unfeasible to keep up with. A separate male character is much more doable.

Also, there's a pretty good chance there's a foxy grandpa upcoming, role unrevealed, so there will be guys!

A silver fox shall we say? Lol.
