Thank you very much for the feedback, it was definitely not boring! I greatly appreciate what you have to say. To answer your questions:
1-) I'm not sure what the exact wait time will be, I am currently only working on this by myself, which makes speedy development difficult. The current goal is to release around 2 major updates a year that push the story and characters forward. Currently, I'm estimating that the next update will take at least around 5-6 months. Though that time may be sped up if I'm able to get more team members, or start making enough money that I can quit my full-time job to focus on this.
2-)I'm hoping for each chapter to be around 3-4 hours long. Each chapter will focus on a specific arc and push the plot forward, the next focus being the Dumont Mansion as mentioned at the end of the Prologue. Each chapter will introduce new characters until the cast is complete. Additionally, I'd like each chapter to contain at least 3 compelling adult scenes with the characters that are the focus of the arc. This is the plan for chapter 1 and I hope to follow that pattern for future chapters.
3-) There will definitely be ambient sounds in the scenes, such as furniture creaking. The only thing that I have not fully nailed down yet is whether the scenes will include human sounds, such as moaning or breathing. If I included these types of sounds, I would want them to be perfect, which may require voice actors, which I currently do not have the budget for.
4-) There will be no homosexual content in the game, it doesn't really interest me either. The male side characters in Wildwood are simply friends and acquaintances of the main character, and will help him along his journey.
5-) The bond system is intended to be a simple way to understand how deep your friendship with a character is. In chapter 1 you will see that the datable characters also have a relationship level that increases through acts of intimacy. This way the players have a simple understanding of how they stand with each character. Rank 1 is free for each character, but the ranks past that will require the player to make the correct choices. At certain points in the game, you will be prevented from viewing scenes if your rank with a specific character is not high enough.
I hope those answer your questions! Thank you again for the feedback!
