I'm glad you folks are enjoying the game. We're getting pretty close to what I want out of these games. We spent a lot of time making the storyline and character behaviors fall on the "belivable" side of the coin, while keeping it an erotic game. The next place for growth is to do more branching/decision making, especially in the sex scenes.
These games are exhausting to make, and branches make it all that much harder. But more foreplay and more interactive sex scenes are definitely on my list for things I want out of these games.
I'm also unhappy with gif animations. I've really got to sit down and work out an easy way for people to animate with jscrïpt (I know how to do it, but not how to make it easy :-).
Serge, I intentionally orphaned rest22.html. I didn't think it flowed right so I cut it out. Looks like I forgot to delete the file, though. Good eyes to find it.
As for the threesome, there's an interesting story there. Phreaky did the two women in the shower pictures, but I didn't like the scene and asked if we could not do it. Keeley was acting out of character, and that didn't work for me. Phreaky really liked the pictures, though, so I spent a weekend thinking about how to solve the problem, and came up with the "he's daydreaming" solution. That works for me, because, in his daydream, Keeley doesn't have to act in character (from what I understand of male daydreams about real people, they never DO act in character :-).
With that plot in place, I like the scene now. In fact, I like it so much that I've suggested to Phreaky that we make a standalone offshoot game that is just that daydream (but that goes much farther). My hope is that we'd spent the time we normally spend on dialog branches on sex branches instead. It wouldn't be a very dificult game, but it would probably be really interactive and erotic.
We'll see.
