I am still starting playing the game, but if the moto is to include all aesthetics, maybe there should be all types of bodies and personalities to work in the club even though the main goal of this game are focused on some types. It would be fun to add all type of different people to work on the club. I didn't mean to write this as a critic just ocurred it to me, please don't take as an offense. Besides this point, the game is very fun! congratulations! Will there be a limit of how many workers we will have for 'level' of club? It seems to have some much potential.
Hello! Thankyou for the comment! <3 I meant to reply to this ages ago; and it's been sitting in my drafts ever since! hahaha.
Generally speaking; the club the MC runs primarily operates as a chubby bar. I do plan for there to be a range from superchub to musclegut bara builds; but the concept is effectively that it's those body types that tend to be underrepresented within the city itself- so there are many other clubs that have more 'lithe' entertainers.
I do plan for there to be some ranging from swimmer/gymnast etc that are in fact hireable in the game; albeit they'll namely operate on just the club level as opposed to having a dedicated datable route if that makes sense. In the game's discord I've showed some WIPs of that minigame; and it'll be for that purpose those employees are there for. :3c
This does mean however that they themselves would have mini-dates/events- this goes for any of the pure workers in the club that doesn't have some sort of degree expansion in the game.
Regarding employee COUNT- there's going to be quite a lot of workers, or at least that's my intention but how many you can have working one night is going to be capped. This way, you can alternate employees to let others rest and recover because they also deserve a life outside of work. :P This matters more as I'm intending to let the club portion also function in a free roam fashion as that's going to be a whole game in itself that is neatly hidden inside the visual novel.
As for personalities, I've got a few cooking along the way that started with Roz. Roz very much is the one that listens the most by all means- and I'll even have it that certain characters may reveal yourself if you're more chaste or more of a bad boss.
One of them is intended to look at your horny score- if it's high, you'll have a much harder time with them as opposed to if you were trying to charm them and it was- conservative, shall we say. :p
By all means if you have any questions feel free to continue asking, or you're welcome in the group's discord and i'll be happy to answer them there!
All the hugs!
yes, even if the datable guys are all in the chubby area, it would be interesting to have a few skinny, muscular, normal etc in the group... other type of diversity would also be interesting like trans guys, people with disabilities, differente age groups , etc... But, ask this would also mean you to have a 'ton' of work including so many people in the story lol... So many people and so many possibilites.
It would be funny to see some personalities clashes within the team as well some unexpected friendship appearing... also some people may develop 'alliances and rivalries' just for the drama... but again that would mean a LOT of work to be done... I won't blame you if you decide to keep things simple.
Yeah! that's definitely the intents. As for trans characters; there's been talks about that. I've been wanting to and figuring out what way I want to approach it. As a cis male myself, I can't necessarily inform the characters interactions from the heart like I can with the others; I want to avoid the possibilities of causing offense from a misrepresentation, as it's a fine line between giving things that create a solidly fleshed character, to instead only fetishization and that'll be a big detractor.
However, this is for a character in particular that's already in the game that is in the party of those in the main bubble of characters.
This would be different though for pure club workers who don't necessarily have a whole story like that to tell like the VN characters. They would just be there happily; and what you see is what you get! :3c
The game itself, is going to be pretty massive. It's got a game hidden within the game- so extra work is already on the cards. I do plan to have more variety; but most of that variety would come down more to the 'freeplay mode'. For workers it'd be a case of sprites, animation sets, code injection etc, 3/4 mini dates. as opposed to main cast which is like
full lore; interpersonal interactions; dynamic mapping; several dates with MC; club sprites, animations, voice acting, etc.
