For the next episode, I did a series of patron votes. There are a lot of branches from the current point of the storyline, and we will very soon start seeing some singinficant impact of earlier decisions. For example, There is a direct impact to the Day 2 bar scene based on what happened in Day 1.
Example:
Beyond that, there are four date branches available for the evening of day 2. I was surprised, however, by the result of the input from patrons. What they really wanted was to include both Jasmine and Azumi as romanceable characters immediately.
Their primary reasoning was that when they are included, it will invalidate save games. Better to do it once now, rather than 2 or 3 times later. They did indicate that they definitely wanted both Jasmine and Azumi included, as well as the third inclusion character that hasn't been introduced yet.
So, as a result, the next episode will enable both Jasmine and Azumi as fully romanceable characters in their own right. This will add additional content to the following existing scenes:
Azumi:
Wednesday Strip Club: Primarily follow-up from the positive private dance with her.
Wednesday home at night: Potential scene with both Azumi and Natalie
Thursday Morning: Short comment about previous day, similar to what is already existing for other routes.
Thursday Day: Some references and minor impact to the scenes with Jasmine in the morning, and Emily in the afternoon.
Jasmine:
Thursday Morning Office: A little more flirting is available with Jasmine before Emily shows up.
Thursday Afternoon Office: A mini-fantasy sequence available during the bathroom scene with Emily & additional options/comments during the end of the scene when Jasmine comes back out.
Thursday late afternoon at home: Possibility to arrange a meet-up later depending on too many factors to list here.
Because of all the changes and complexity involved in the game logic to incorporate the new love interests, as well as rendering the images which were outside of the "work ahead" process I've been using, it's very possible that the next episode will be on the later edge of the release periods, which I initially listed as every 2-6 months. Even having said that, the end of March is still possible, but April is more likely.
