Weekly preview - talking sleeping arrangements
🕑 Added 2023-05-29 02:07:43 +0000 UTCtl;dr - I've put in this new conversation scene as well as the Shizu/Mika scene I showed off yesterday for the upcoming release.
This week's images
For this week I'm showing a new scene I wrote which unlocks for day 20 if you've seen both Emi & Nobuko's sex scenes. There's a number of alternative lines and a few alternative pictures depending on what other relationship progress you have, such as achieving the other girls' sex scenes, or achieving various threesomes. (The third image I included is from one of those.
It's kind of a Nobuko-led scene so that's (one reason) why she features so prominently here.
Upcoming scenes
For this month I've decided that I'm including two new scenes and neither of them are sex scenes. It's been a while since I've done a release like that, but I just happen to feel like it's overdue. The game needs more character scenes that develop relationships, rather than just stuff continuing the constant fuckfest. I suspect many players appreciate this approach, but I'd like to hear from you guys about whether you think that's a good idea.
I've put in this new scene that I'm showing off, as well as the Shizu/Mika daytime date that I showed off last week. This scene above is all the girls talking about what the living/sleeping arrangements are going to be for the whole harem in the future, which is something I've often thought about exploring but never really found the right place for it before.
Mika's sitting off to the right and I've even added in Rin sitting off to the left... but obviously those characters will only appear and have lines if they're unlocked in your current game.
What's become of the new endings?
While the endings are still planned at some point when they're ready, I'm no longer pushing to make them ASAP because putting that arbitrary pressure on myself was stressing me out and stymieing my progress on the game elsewhere. Instead, I'm just planning to find what content is interesting to add right now and keep the game in a nice, comfortable development flow for myself, since that's always what leads to me doing my best work.
Honestly, making that change has me feeling a lot better.
What do you think of putting in more character scenes and fewer sex scenes for a while? Let me know in the comments below!

Oh, thank you! It's good to be getting some votes of confidence in the idea, I'm glad to hear it.

Watching them go from bickering individuals to a poly/family is one of my favorite things about the progression of this game! the sex scenes are great but its the warm fuzzies from the all growing to enjoy and appreciate each other that really does it for me.

Glad to hear it! I hope to do more, assuming I have good ideas for them.

Yes please, intimate non-sexual scenes are a really great addition to games, just things like eating together or watching movies or TV. And yeah, sleeping arrangements are kind of an important question when you have more than two girls wanting to sleep with you.

Oh, yes, I remember your position on the approach. ;) Of course, sometimes there aren't scenes that feel worthwhile or original to include on that level and I do also try to include character development in the sex scenes, but I agree that I would personally like more character development scenes.

I’ll be honest, a lot of the time I just click through sex scenes anyway because I’m just not in the mood. I would love more character stuff. And the idea of them becoming a happy family unit is what keeps me coming back more than the sex in and of itself.
