Behind the scenes: Day 15 Section 2 (Patreon)
Content
Early preview of the writing for section 2. (Spoilers!)
This section focuses on Heather and Juliet.
This section takes place instantly after section 1 ending, after texting Nathan to come get Zoey. Heather returns before Brandon can head off, Heather and Juliet ask if he'd like to help them out with their patrol around the festival.
There's a choice here to agree to it, while looking at which girl you'd like more affection with. They begin roaming around and go through a list of possible clubs to go check out. This pops up 8 possible choices, all with unique dialogue, events, etc. You have enough time to help them out with checking out 2 clubs before it'll jump to the ending.
After helping them, Brandon mentions it's been a while since starting to help and should be heading off. During their chat, Heather mentions that their patrols come to an end soon enough with the festival as something happens on Wednesday as a last festival day. She's in the middle of mentioning it, when her phone receives a call from John asking how patrolling is going and so he decides to take his leave with the two busy still, curious as to what is planned for Wednesday.
-Writer notes-
-This section nearly broke me at 4800-5000 word count. Mainly due to 8 choices all of which are roughly the same to be fair, sitting at 450-600 word count. Needless to say this section will play out very unique compared to previous ones.
-For you fans of wanting to see Heather and Juliet interactions more. This is a great section for it! ^^
-Not to come off in a bad way, but those of you who remember free days from late last year before the reboot process. I know some of you have asked if those would be coming back and honestly, it just doesn't fit for how the game is handled. There's much more choices and unlocking of content since the reboot, but this section gives a very good idea as to how in depth these free days used to be like. Pretty much free days were open roaming dating sim style "map" to choose locations, that had the cast of characters hanging out in set areas for the day "morning, noon, afternoon" and allowed you to choose how to gain extra affection mainly, but see some unique events related to characters. Just an example but for 1 free day it'd be about 12000 word count or close to it if assuming each character's section was 500 word count each (1500 per character for free day, x9 characters)
I know in a given update there's roughly 10-15k word count in total for 3 new days of content, but sadly free days would be one new day by its self. I do have future plans for bringing back the old free day mode stuff as an addon possibly later in the future. It would be separate from the actual game's story, but act as a more dating sim style game. Introducing more stats other than affection and it would offer rewarding scenes seen in the vn. But it'd be it's own thing just about.
