What's next?
Before starting a new story, I'll use a few days to do a “check and update” on the game, in addition to adding some extra scenes, of course.
---------
I don't know if everyone knows this, but when I started this game, I had no idea how to program in Ren.Py. I learned everything by reading, watching videos and tutorials, and testing it out in practice.
So, of course, the first codes were all a bit amateurish and not exactly the best for having clean, light, and flexible code... but it was all I could do at the time.
Of course, I'm still far from being considered a good programmer, but I've advanced enough to see that a lot of what I did in the past, I would do differently and better today.
And that's what I'm doing now, checking the code and adjusting those that I see can be improved, making them easier and more practical to update.
But of course, making sure that no old saves stop working
For example, the photo galleries on the phone... There's room for improvement there, to make it more elegant, easier to view the photos, and use fewer variables with each new story.
And I see that many old stories lacked refinement in terms of speech bubbles, positioning. I'm taking a look at that.
I also want to see if I can add some extra scenes, both in some old stories that I feel “lacked a better ending” and in the more recent ones that now have new areas for scenes.
Of course, it's a job that can be done little by little. I'll do a part now, which will only take a few days, and then I'll release a small update with these changes.
With that, I can then start a new story.

Another question: is Matthew's older brother and father, whom he mentioned in his story, on your list of future stories?🙏 I'd really like to see what they might look like, because Matthew is very sexy, and he's one of my top favorites.🥵 I want to see who gave him those beefcake genes.😅 google translate sry🫣😂
I confess I hadn't thought about those characters... the idea was just to give some background to Matthew's story. But it's not impossible to have, for example, an extra scene with them visiting Matthew at the fraternity... and maybe an extra scene with Hunter. 😎
Will there be a final, fourth frat guy besides Josh, Matthew, and Kyle? (And I really hope that beefcake flew in from Europe as part of the exchange🥹👉👈). By the way, maybe he'll appear in Kyle's story as a spoiler and a prelude to a new one?
The idea of a fourth character at the university is still up in the air... in this case, it would be a foreign student from Asia. But I haven't made a final decision yet. What I have already planned is that Kyle's story will introduce two more players from the football team... And although they don't have a complete story for each one, they will have extra scenes in a special scenario that is coming up in this destination.
What do you use for the character creation? They just look so good. 😍😍
I have a collection of characters that I downloaded years ago, from when I used to play The Sims. Then I pick one that's more or less similar to what I imagine for the character, and then I test and adjust him using the tens of thousands of mods I've downloaded over the last 10 years, with skins, hair, clothes, brands, tattoos, body style, etc. Until I feel that the character is what I have in mind for that story. Sometimes this process of creating the character takes 3 or 4 days.
What is the possibility of more 3-ways like you have with Cody/Nick and Cody/Josh?
I would ask you... why only three if we can have four? 😉 We are going to have many scenes with multiple characters together, especially those of the same destination. But first, I need to tell each story individually, so that once everyone has been introduced, I can start bringing them all together.
just to remember, the possible future targets are: waiter(luke's story), the guy, ethan, dr givanni, hector, skaters, and kyle. have i forgotten someone?
That have already been introduced in other stories, yes... those are the ones you listed. Of course, based on their stories, we will also have some other future characters that will appear in the game.
So Kyle is next and when will the rest of the guys's stories like Matthew or Josh or Luke or Jake be updated? Are you going to make a Christmas special by any chance?
Update in what sense? These stories will eventually receive some extra scenes in new locations... but the characters' stories themselves have already been finalized. As for the Christmas special, I'll try to do it this year, but last year in a poll, this choice ended up getting very few votes.
Best game I have found in a while one question are you planning to do anything with James story like the mind control alien in the military base cause I would love to see more military personnel since the alien is technically dead wink wink 😉
Technically, the alien plant isn't exactly dead... so... something tells me we'll be seeing more of it. Not to mention that we haven't met Colonel Mcdough yet 😎
Im so hyped looool I wonder whos gonna be the next character? Could it be Dr. Gio, or The Guy, or maybe the Skaters, or e go back to College?... dang I wanted all already!!!
Just to give you a spoiler... it will be in college. Now it's easy. 😅
Good morning, friend. If you're learning, congratulations, because it's one of the best games. Keep improving and giving us more of this amazing game.
That's the idea... if people are enjoying it even with my limited abilities... imagine when I really learn how to do it. 😎😅
Monster 😄
😅
