Character design (Minerva)

In GGGB Ashley had some shenanigans at her workplace, mainly with Rosa (aka Landwhale) that served as some kind of petty villain. That character was an afterthought and her role was mainly to  antagonize and  be bothersome to the player, but it made me want to have a better defined enemy that would play into the story.

Minerva is just that: being Ian's boss at the magazine, she seems to really dislike him and makes things hard for him at every step, while she acts completely different towards Holly, making it clear she has something against Ian... He has the choice to stand up to Minerva in several ways or to suck up to her, and this will influence not only Ian's job, but his path in becoming a professional writer...

In ORS most of the cast are young adults and I wanted to add a more mature woman. It was tricky coming up with Minerva's design and I'm still a bit on the fence about it. I like her facial features, but undecided about her body type. What do you think about her, as a character and design-wise? Would you like to see a re-design?

No re-design , she is good! Don't forget to involve her sexually.

The design is good, and adds variety. I would love for her to be more complex than a mere antagonist. Maybe there can be a path for her relationship to the MC to evolve?

In all honesty I love the idea of having someone with a different body type that isn't what most consider traditionally attractive. I think it gives the user more options and adds more variety to the game.

I quite like her. And I would prefer her to stay as she is, actually.

I wouldn't be opposed to some adjustments to her appearance, but at the same time I also appreciate that she's not some classic bombshell milf. There's enough room in the character roster to include some more homely options for both genders, and she's well suited to be that option if you choose to go that route. Whatever you choose to do with her appearance wise I would definitely appreciate her inclusion in either a more submissive route for Ian or a "defrosting the ice queen" type situation where we can eventually get through to her and work out whatever differences it is that's causing the current animosity and end up in a more relaxing, gentle relationship.

Make her hotter. Like really hot

I would like to have a relationship with her. Maybe she dislikes Ian for a reasen ;) she is the cold hot boss everyone hates and everyone wants to dominate her. Its a mansworld so she has to act tough but behind that wall she is a woman after all ;9 <3 I will enjoy everthing u will do with her <3333

over the course of the game, should enable her to show progress from yoga/ivy's fitness etc

I like the design, she is not overly attractive (aka HOT) and not repulsive which are both tropes for enemies, especially in these types of games. Even if Ian sees her nude (but why at work?) or Holly hooks up with her (or someone else randomly) and that is how we eventually see her nude (if we do) you can make it either a heavenly vision or a horrible cautionary tale depending on events rather than simply how she looks!

I like her body type. And from the only few moments with her can definitely relate to someone who seems to want to be tougher on you for no reason (that we know of yet). Would definitely be a good way to have character development, if we do find out why she leans harder on Ian. I'm hoping Ian can swing her more to his side if we do get a romance option. And if we do can definitely see her of being more of a dom in that relationship

She seems to be suitable, but if there is any sexual intercourse coming, then I would slightly change her to being hotter. For right now she actually is kind of a witch with that nose of hers:))

I think that she works very well as an antagonist for Ian. But if you have plans for her to work as a romantic interest (or just a fuckbuddy), I'd personally do some slight changes. I think that you went for her having a hot resting bitch face, but to me, she looks more like a witch. Examples: Cara Delevingne, Audrey Plaza and Kristen Stewart have different kinds of resting bitch-faces while still being beautiful. And I don't know how long you plan to have her in the story, but long-term I'd probably let it show that those hours in the gym have paid off (for perverted inspiration on how she could look I'd suggest Jelena Jensen).

The instant I saw her she reminded me of Rosa. She looks like a non land whale version of Rosa with a bit of . . . smoothing out of her features, less severe and "ugly". As always I am enjoying the design and the story your putting together. I am not a fan of Minerva, but then again I am not supposed to be, so your doing it right. I am looking forward to learning what her issue is, hopefully I will find out before I get Ian fired for not dealing with her petty BS, lol. Thank you for the fabulous work.

A professional at that level with no explanation why she does not like Ian's work is a caricature. A motivation should be given at some point. A secret lesbian interest in Holly? A past confrontation never recomposed? Anyway, I would like Minerva having some sexy fun, she could be sexy given the opportunity in a somewhat kinky scenario.

shleefin · June 18, 2020

I'm having fun torpedoing Ian's chances at every opportunity, since Lena is my MC. Maybe a slave or "pet" path for Ian with Minerva would be interesting?

In my opinion, she is neither physically attractive, nor does she have an appealing personality. Furthermore, there isn't really any background for her (that I'm aware of). All of this makes her an easy character to vilify. I would be interested in seeing her in different attire and doing something that makes her smile, as her "resting-bitch-face" is not appealing. Additionally, she doesn't, yet, have any depth of character. If we were able to see her as a person, it is possible that my antipathy towards her could be lessened.

FRsinewave · June 18, 2020

She’s too realistic for my Ian to have any interest in sucking up to his boss. I personally don’t think she’s attractive at all so there’s no incentive for me to play nice.

Kwadwo · June 18, 2020

I also thinks she looks good, and I like her current body type. Unless my eyes are deceiving me, she's not fat, and not everyone becomes ultra lean like fitness models by going to the gym. So I say keep her as she is, and have the only potential change be how she dresses, allowing her to flaunt it more

cristter tollefsen · June 18, 2020

I would like to see if she gets motivvated to really train and lose the pounds/kg or to gain 15 more dependant pn ashley choices......

design is good but the question is can he grudgefuck her ;]

She`s good enough like that in her middle 30ies - early 40ies.

I like her look and i am looking forward to see more of her in the story.

BloodyMares · June 18, 2020

She's perfectly fine I think, that smug and bitchy look suits her character well. As Bluntobject said, you could make her lose some weight in the mid-game after taking care of her body during Ivy's classes though personally I don't mind slightly bigger women (Alison has my favorite body-type) with a couple of extra pounds just to add to the sexiness. I wonder if she's going to be the first lady with some public hair.

Mike the Red · June 18, 2020

I'm going to be the guy that points out that all of the characters have "public hair". ;)

ccav0001 · June 18, 2020

I think it's a great design and she should stay as she is. But I don't mind to see her become more "buxom".

Tsujiwaki Junko · June 18, 2020

I think her design is great :)

Bluntobject · June 18, 2020

You could make her more lean as time goes by after continuos visits to the gym and with a need to flaunt it as well.

J
Julian Harper · June 18, 2020

I think her character is great, same for her design. Also if she's involved later on a sexual character (for Ian or someone else) she makes a change from everyone else. I think she should stay as she is

SoloStudios · June 18, 2020

I like her design, just the right amount of maturity, with a perfect amount of smugness, mixed with bitchyness. Can't wait to find out why she's such a bitch with a capital C

I think her design is fine. Ian eventually gets to fuck her right?

More like she'll destroy his ass with a strapon 😅
