February 14 Update (Patreon)

Starting this next block of the game has been a new experience. For the first three, I was working ahead, which put me awkwardly between two versions. Then the Stineford updates were broad and built on each other, so they weren't exactly normal. This week, though, I started with nothing. No finished maps, conversations, items, anything. Except my notes, of course. I have this game planned out in a lot of detail, though there's obviously room for flexibility built in throughout. One of my pet peeves is when a plot feels like events soldered together without reason, so I wanted mine to really feel like a complete logical story. It will be a long journey, and obviously there will be twists and reveals, but I think in the end it will be worth it. Looking through all those notes, though, I'm realizing that I risk combinatorial explosion of sex scenes. I think the current number is pretty decent for average sections, but later in the game you'll have "home base" areas where you can have sex with your companions and keeping up with all of those will really ramp up the amount of sex. For the one-on-one scenes, I think that will be perfectly manageable. The potential number of threesomes and foursomes will be insane, though. I'll do the ones I have great ideas for (and some will be in the plot, as you could already have seen last update) but I'll definitely be asking the $10 patrons for their favorite combinations.
