Hey, I'm glad you liked it so much, despite the stab in the heart that it delivered :]
Of course Alvy will return, he can't just be gone forever from the game, I love him too much. He'll have a special role to play.
I LOVE seeing people play the game! ^^
Although I have to say that if it's only a regular readthrough, as many people seem to do on youtube, I wouldn't be as interested. I love reactions, feedback, comments and whatever else there is, ESPECIALLY if it's a blind first play :>
Up to you in any case.
P.S Beware of Aiden's route...
I've developed the wolf character, though I've forgotten his name—he’s quickly become one of my favorites. I’m curious if there’s more depth to his story. Additionally, I’ve been thinking about Aiden and Tate, the cat are they still going to have their updates and Therian I think is the fucking worst and the most I hate too. I envision a narrative exploration of themes like separation anxiety, where both the characters and us, the players, experience a profound worry about being apart.
We could consider amplifying the intimate connections with more romantic scenes. There’s also the possibility of isolation for Cody White, the snow leopard. He might struggle with his own feelings, needing comfort as he tries to unpack what’s happening within himself. It raises questions about his backstory: does he harbor his own trauma? If we choose to share our personal struggles with him, could that open a path for mutual support?
Incorporating heavy themes, there might be a moment where Cody faces suicidal thoughts. Depending on the routes chosen, the characters could act as a source of comfort, urging him to discuss his feelings rather than resorting to a drastic choice.
Another intriguing plot point could involve Cody taking a few days away from campus—a solo holiday to recharge from recent events—without informing the chosen characters. This absence would lead to palpable separation anxiety among them, possibly stirring feelings of jealousy depending on the dynamics of the chosen route that they wonder why the fuck Cody is not at campus but somewhere else and wandering if Cody is seeing other people which is normal to have those feelings but of course Cody is going to explain why and Cody will check in with them to let them know he is coming back soon.
There could also be a variety of emotional experiences between Cody and the characters, where they encounter difficulties and require healing and support from one another, and other things might happen between mostly towards Cody but also a little bit towards the characters we pick of their route. It’s essential to showcase the complexities of their relationships and how they navigate challenges together.
I hope these ideas resonate with the vision you have for the game’s storyline. I’m excited to start recording a series based on this, and I’ll share the link here once I post the first video—if you're interested though MindOfFur, of course!
