I'm not 100% on how the romance will work, as I don't enjoy the harem "oh, everone is fine dating you" trope but I can see why, from a player standpoint, it'd feel annoying to have to do x amount of re-plays for every character if the romance was choice exclusive.

I'm going to have to think on it, but I'm definitely wanting at least one person to be chosen to be a "partner" of sorts later, but that may become business partner over romantic. We'll see.

On characters, I plan for quite a lot and don't want to commit to any specific numbers. Every female character currently in the game will be recruitable eventually, and I plan for more across various social classes, hence the tabs in the contacts page. City, University, and Elite family members.

Sounds good, hopefully you can make something work out within the framework of the story that you are writing.

One last question. Is Subscribestar the only way to support, or will you use other methods? I see that it is currently up for review, and that usually takes a while to open.

They're currently reviewing me but we'll see what they say. Unfortunately patreon isn't fond of adult content and itch was hit with payment vendors so it's all a bit iffy at the moment.

I thought the itch thing was taken care of like a month after it happened. I support H-game devs via Visa/ Bank card all the time on here...

Also, about the romance and partner issue, I may have a suggestion. The very first VA I ever played and liked had you play the entire game and then asked you which girl you wanted to date. Once you chose the girl, that was the ending you had. You basically secretly dated them all without the others knowing unless they were best friends or such up to that point.

I also would ask if there is a way you can make it so the 'skip' button stops at the screen for the film's tally. Having to button mash my way through the same dialogue every night is slightly annoying because skip zooms passed the screen letting me know how much I made. It is either that, or I skip it then slam the "back" button to see.

Edit: I just realized something... why are we working for a daily payment anyway? Wouldn't uploading the films become a revenue in the way actors in commercials and TV shows get small paychecks for every time they are aired or YouTubers when they are viewed so much?

Edit 2: Never mind! LOL I just unlocked research and see the ad revenue! LMAO. Definitely need a way to boost Research Points (RP) gained. Glad I chose research as my character's bonus, because, damn if that shit doesn't become time consuming and pricey - especially with the fluctuating earn each night if you don't save scum.
