Let's talk about stories and events
Added 2022-01-20 18:41:41 +0000 UTCEvents in The Fixer can quite neatly be divided into 3 categories. I am excluding housemate/landlord stuff from this list as I will have another post in the near future about them.
Main story: As it sounds, this is all the events relating to the main storyline. We have already seen these with the Simon pub mission all the way to the Haven mission.
Character stories: These are stories and events that focus heavily on the characters involved. You can see perfect examples of these with the more free flowing soccer boys events and the more narrative focused Dance troupe storyline.
World stories: This is pretty much everything else. From large event chains like working in the pub to smaller stories like when running in the park, being propositioned in the school or just drinking too much and passing out.
And so the question for this poll is what area are you more interested in seeing developed? Unlike other polls, this isn't an all or nothing question where the "losers" will be ignored. But is for me to get an idea of how strongly people want specific content. I still plan to work on all of them but will give more priority to the ones that have stronger interest.
My plans are as follows:
Main story: I will be focusing on the security faction and getting in the pre Haven training missions. This will involve both the checkpoint and train station, having a lot of smaller missions like the one involving Simon. I also want to introduce to Machine faction so that you can replace your plug tracker, get tools to create gloryholes in places that can have them and introduce the yet to be seen Allison in preparation for her quest chain.
Character stories: This will revolve around making characters who have already been introduced much more fleshed out. Cass and Mira's prostitution storyline and opening up highway prostitution, getting Dani a job in the bar with you and possible aftermath with Anabel. It will also include a lot of pre and post Haven Emilie content and, if the machine faction is already introduced, The Allison story chain.
World stories: This will focus on things like making gloryholes in all the toilets, street prostitution, expanding on the pub job and random events as you are walking around town like you see at school. It will also include the smaller events while doing repeatable tasks such as working out, handing out fliers and relaxing around town. Very much all the things that makes the world feel alive and deepens the life sim aspect of it all.

Thanks. I got to the next one at the marketplace.

2022-01-23 14:27:42 +0000 UTCAs mention by Soul, that's it for the current release. But in the coming weeks it will start to get finished up.

2022-01-23 09:22:30 +0000 UTCYes, though, not everything is complete, there will be missing backgrounds and possibly scenes not yet drawn, but everything seems to be written up to dance stage number 7, you can see what dance stage will play out next in the cheat menu and can set it to any number 0-20 incase you want to roll back to a previous number after the developer completes this story arc.

2022-01-22 23:38:21 +0000 UTCI'm new to the tier, so forgive me if this has been asked before, but in there anything for the dance troop after they do their first gig with the uniforms?

2022-01-22 12:58:53 +0000 UTCThanks for the info. I'm looking forward to that. Speaking of the pub, I'm surprised that then going commando at the pub, the patrons still limit themselves to just fondling her rump before making her sit on their laps.

2022-01-22 12:55:46 +0000 UTCFrom your descriptions, I see the World Stories as enriching the portions of game play that can be tedious at times, making the overall experience more diverse and interesting. Delivering the fliers for example is not so fun unless some spontaneous events can happen. Perhaps this type of enhancement can also be useful to enrich the character and main stories progress as new game and code assets will be available to use or modify to a new purpose.

2022-01-22 06:13:31 +0000 UTCworld stories, character stories, then main story. My reasons is that... World stories are amazing for repeatable fun and causing me to keep playing the game even when there is no more content until the next update. Character stories to me is the most interesting part of these games and has the best rewarding stories that us players get to see and actual ending to. Main story is always going to be there and always going to be the final goal for the players, also it is necessary to force players to progress through the main story in order to develop the MC so that the natural flow of the mental state of the MC doesn't seem off when it comes to the world and character stories. Thats where i see a lot of games failing at doing. Its weird to have the MC go through a side story and get to a point where they become a total nympho and then go back to the main story and have the MC be a complete prude unless they are forced into a situation.

2022-01-22 04:55:46 +0000 UTCOn f95zone, Sam Tail has mentioned that the truck stop IS planned as a place for working, specifically at a diner that's there. It'll be less lewd than the pub, because customers looking for a "good time" will be more interested in the local prostitutes. (Although if I recall, there will still be a few opportunities for Sammy to engage in sexy times.)

2022-01-21 15:29:33 +0000 UTCI’m currently looking forward to expanding the main story line, followed by world events. I want to see the lake get used and maybe a soccer/football team story where she gets to join to compete in soccer events.

2022-01-21 15:28:20 +0000 UTCI like both character development and adding to the world. Either one would work for me. I guess it would be nice if there were more places to go and more random events that could happen depending on where and when you visit those places.

2022-01-21 12:49:55 +0000 UTCPersonally i would love a char event where you can save Anabel from her demise at the bar dependent on your choice and you not beeing too drunk and with the result of opening a friend chain.But i kinda agree with the premise of opening up more areas and events related to it like park and beach or more importantly the highway and shopping mall.

2022-01-21 10:34:50 +0000 UTCI want everything! but yeah maybe the world stories first to give it a more open feel!

2022-01-21 06:55:04 +0000 UTCHaving only 2 places in the world where things can or will happen apart from the story was really frustrating as much as I liked the game. so im happy to see new world content
