Re-Structuring the Story Flow?
Currently, the story focuses on Elena as the main character, with Vanessa and Christelle as secondary main characters. This allows players to make some choices for these characters and experience the story from their perspectives. However, I am considering how the narrative structure should evolve, particularly regarding Elena’s role and how parallel events involving other characters are handled.
Here are the options:
Keep the current flow
Players can make choices for Elena and secondary characters, influencing the story through multiple perspectives.The secondary scenes are mandatory and cannot be skipped.
Elena as the main branch, with parallel events and choices
Elena’s story becomes the central focus. Players can still view parallel events involving Vanessa and Christelle and make decisions for them, but these events and choices are tied to Elena’s progression.The secondary scenes can be skipped, with automatic choices made for the secondary characters on the player's behalf.
Elena as the main branch, with parallel events but no choices
Elena’s story takes center stage. Players can view parallel events involving Vanessa and Christelle, but the ability to make choices during these events is removed, keeping the focus solely on Elena’s narrative.The secondary scenes can be skipped.
Only Elena, no parallel events
Would involve stripping out Vanessa and Christelle’s storylines entirely, focusing solely on Elena. This would be the most drastic change.No secondary scene.
This is just a vote to gauge interest at the moment.

Based on the results so far, a possible solution could be to add a dual-choice option at the start of the game: 1) fully follow all the characters or 2) primarily focus on Elena, with the option to choose at every branching path whether to continue with her story or explore the secondary ones.
I know this is a bit awkward but I find myself either go all the way... or not at all lol Elana only. Some halfway limited in-between route just doesn't sound that great to me.
