Detailed Weekly Update - July 28, 2024

Hello, readers! Yes, I know, boring. I’ll try better next time…

Vivian’s relationship event is done! And it is pretty good, from my point of view. I’m not going to give any spoilers but I needed to add a lot of new stats for these scenes. I’ve only got Haley’s to write and then all of the relationship events are done! I’ll likely only write 2 secret reveal scenes and then finally write about campaigning for homecoming, asking someone out for it, and then actually going to the dance! Yey! Chapter 4’s ending is finally in sight!

Another new thing I’ve added is the romantic background! Some people were curious what MC romantic and sexual experience was, so you will now have the choice to select this. When you will have your first experience in the game (i.e. kissing), you’ll jump to a little section where you can select how much experience your MC has (multiple partners, just kissing, or zero experience, there are 5 options right now) and what their preferred sexuality is. This will not influence if the targets will flirt with you or not, but the narrator might remind you that you are not attracted to these people when they do flirt with you. Or when you do flirt with them, even though you’re not attracted to them. This bit is a work in progress which I’m not 100% happy with, but we’ll see how it develops.

Exact word count for chapter 4 - 72,280.

Exact things I've written for chapter 4:

• Finished Vivian’s relationship event

Exact things I've changed for all chapters:

• Added revenge counters for all characters and one for general willingness to get revenge.

The mighty revenge counter is here! I’ve removed all mentions of the word “revenge” from chapter 3 onwards for people that chose the options that do not resemble that path. They will also be more relevant than I initially envisioned. When one of the targets is trying to trick you or use you, the revenge-oriented characters will have a higher chance of naturally combating these things, since they will already have doubted that character. You’ll see, I think it will be interesting.

If there are any more instances in the game where you feel the narrator is pushing too hard for revenge when you’ve clearly chosen a different path, please mention it.

To do list:
