Character design (Stan)
Stan is another archetype I didn't include in GGGB: the nerd. Closer I had was one of Eric's versions, or maybe even Ashley's dad, but they were far from this.
While thinking about character dynamics for ORS it occurred to me that a character like Stan could provide some interesting interactions. He's not an attractive guy able to seduce a girl, but he has his needs and fantasies too! Will they be granted to him, or will he remain unsatisfied and cringe-inducing? Maybe he'll get humiliated, helped, or even taken advantage of of. Stan is a character who probably doesn't have much agency, but the player does...
All in all he's a new archetype I wanted to try and work with. Let's see how Stan's role in the story turns out!

there's already been some creeper stan content. I usually play against stan because goth subby gf but I remember playing one playthrough trying to be on good terms with stan but teasing and keeping him at arms length and there was a creeper moment. Going to have to go back and play this route again now XD
I stan Stan!
I would love if it turned out that he has the biggest dick in the game, and that he just is clueless about girls, so he never realised girls would love his big dick!
It'd be nice to see him somewhat subvert the stereotype of a naive incel nerd and giving him a more likeable personality. It is understandable that a lot of characters will adhere to a fairly strict standard of their appearance telegraphing their personality types just for ease of choice on the player's part in choosing what sort of content they want to pursue, but at the same time I worry that this can also make things a little stale or feeling like we've sort of played the game before, just with a different skin applied. I really like your choice of going for two playable main characters side by side in order to make the game a unique experience and I'm hoping this also extends to allowing some of the characters to buck trends by not conforming to too many stereotypes.
I hate Stan so much, he's such a dick! I do love that the game is already inducing strong feelings towards the characters though, keep up the great work!
omg, I just now realized I mistook Stan for Perry or whatever his name is, Ian's roommate! I actually really like the mystery of Stan, not knowing what his motivations are. It's Perry that I love to hate!
Prop one of my fav characters in terms of potential kink - Lena would blow his nerd mind! I know Mr. Van Dyke is sorta approaching it, but I still wish we had a GGGB Arthur-type leach creepster in Lena's circles.
Well, yes, and this type (the nerd) is also possible and it will even be more interesting with him. The second outfit seems better to me)
i love the addition of stan, maybe because he actually resembles me the most. excited to see what happens with him
I immediately went straight to exploiting Stan with Lena, tease him a little to get what she wants. Given that Stan is the character I closest resemble in real life i think that it's worry how easy it was for me to exploit him lol
Secretly I think I want to be exploited by a hot girl XD
And hopefully this will be the closest we'll get to attaching the "Ugly Bastard" tag on this game lol (Maybe Ed, idk)
For me is important to have more of this non perfect people in all medias. We all have some goods and bads, some sweetness and some uglyness too :D
I must admit that I don't see the appeal in Stan. But I guess that you can't like everything, unless you're a Grandmaster Pervert.
Especially because from the description it looks like the boring stereotype..humiliated, helped, taken advantage of..at least add something more fun/original, for example him being vengeful and calculating behind that mask so that if you treat him like shit he'll make you pay if he has the chance, etc..meh
I can definitely see Stan coming in useful and getting some action. Both in terms of seeing Lena in all her glory as her photographer, and getting have fun with her if she decides to do some more raunchy stuff for Stalkfap
I’m hoping Lena will have some fun with Stan, I also made me smile that she went further with him in the photo session if he paid her
An ordinary guy of about 35, who also has his own desires and needs.
