Hi guess who's back.

i have a couple of questions that are related to one another:

How long will your story be - like 1 mile long ( short) or 10 miles long ( long long) or somewhere in the middle? Because tied to this question is this next one:

How many main versions do you plan on releasing with this i mean version 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and more or will you stop at some of these versions let say 0.3 or 0.4? Just give an approximate answer what you think. Also each version will have 6 micro version right for example version 0.1 will have 0.10. 0.11 and to 0.16 and then you'll go to version 0.2? And to the previous two questions there is one more related question:

How much do you intend to expand the story of this game % wise i mean - this question is tied to your answer when you said you'll release each story bit by bit. So i want to know what is your definition  of bit by bit. So do you intend to expand the story like 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% or more at each release? Please give an approximate answer as well.

This next question is unrelated to the previous ones. One of the girls Riley or Lauren will be a farmer girl? Because i saw something in the F95 forum.

And my final question for now do you plan on making a game related to this one like a continuation like season 2 or something?

I know you can't give me an exact answer, because it all depends on your free time, but i just want to know the approximate number for each question. I like a good story HOWEVER if the story drags on for miles and miles it gets kinda boring don't you think. I said the questions are related because if you intend to make a long story and give short expansion of the story let's say 5% at a time you'll be expanding this story for like 20 years haha.  And vice verse if you're story will be in the middle let say 5 or 6 miles long and you intend to release like 20% at a time you'll be done in 2 or 3 years by the version 0.4 or 0.5.

Hey Kurnikr,

Hard to tell at the moment how long the story will be because is not completely written yet. I have a basic idea on paper on how the story should evolve, but I write down the story little by little. That way, I keep the story flexible when I come up with new ideas. I don't know what is your definition of 1 or 10 miles long, but I'm aiming for at least 1 hour read time for each girl, roughly 5 - 6 hours if we count all of them. One sure thing, I will not do a never-ending story like Giant Guardians game. (I do  love the Giant Guardians game, don't get me wrong, but they introduced too much characters so they stretch the main story for nothing IMHO.)

Hard to tell how many version I will do at the moment, but I would say if at version 0.7 the story is completed, it's possible I would jump straight to version 1.0 and mark the game as final. Each micro version will be dedicated to expand the story for a specific character or two and when I switch to a major version, 0.2 or 0.3, there will be a special event that will involve all the characters. (For example, a trip to the beach with all girls, or when the MC will go back to his own world and one of the girls will follow him.). 

Once again, it's hard to put a number % wise for each character update, but I would say 10 - 15% maybe. That's doesn't sound like a lot, but if I manage to expand two characters story in a single update, the story will progress fairly fast. I aiming to finish the game within 2 years at max. I do not plan for any continuation because I would like to start another project after this one. If peoples would like a season 2 for this game, I may consider it.

Lastly, Riley will be the farmer girl and she will be introduce in 0.05 release.
