Hi Everyone,
Man, Joe, You've got IDEAS! I appreciate the long and well-thought-out post.
I just uncharacteristically and probably un-wisely posted on the blog that we are about 7-14 days from releasing LWT2 (unwisely because I did not ask for Leo's permission first). I'm testing the pre-alpha right now (did I make up the word pre-alpha?). I've asked for some image fixes and Leo and Yamyoda agreed. It's a complicated game, with many variables that get defined only once, early on, and then matter for a variable check only once late in the game, so debugging is very hard, and no doubt there will be small problems we missed at the time of released. But anyway, we are getting there. The hype is huge and no doubt many people will be disappointed, but I am hoping – and I think it's a reasonable hope – that twice as many people will be blown away by the variety of sexually-charged situations that occur in the game as the number of people who hate it because it could never have lived up to their expectations after such a long wait. We will see, I guess.
Just please realize, that I do rely on LWT1 for the background. That is, if you choose to play the game as though you visited the swinger's club with Tracy in the first game, then there isn't going to be any slow build-up to group sex in the sequel - Tracy has already lost her innocence; she goes for gold now. I appreciate that many people liked the build-up, and to be honest, I worked really hard on that, but I don't think it can be duplicated with the same characters in relation to the same subject in a sequel. Tracy fucked 6 men at once in LWT1, and she loved it. She's not going to need to have her hand held to do it again in the sequel. I will strive to make the build-up as intense as possible in new, original games, based on the feedback I've gotten here, but in LWT2, where Lisa and Tracy are concerned, they have already made their decisions. Having said that, I guess I realize I'm not totally accurate. You can choose that you did not cheat with Lisa in the first game, and then potentially seduce her in the second (limited options), but with Tracy, if you choose to play the game as though you did not share her in LWT1, then the swinger options are not really available on that play-through. It's too late to change that now, but as I write this I realize that it would be fun to imagine never sharing Tracy in the first game, only to decide to share her in the second... So if it's popular enough, I will try to add this element to the expansion.
I'll be here once it's released, trying to address every post.
I hope you like it.

PS. I'm a little drunk. I never post about LOP without Leo's permission unless I'm drunk.
