That is, a series of smaller games chronicling an event sometime after the end of the main game.<\/p>\n<p>Each epilogue will be it&#8217;s own game, focusing on the players ongoing relationship with one of my female characters. I also like the idea of spreading the releases out so I don&#8217;t have to deal with too much workload at once.<\/p>\n<p>The plan is something like :<\/p>\n<p>Volume 1<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Leanna<\/li>\n<li>Maddison<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Volume 2<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rachel<\/li>\n<li>Molly and Marianna<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Volume 3<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Betsy : Reconciliation<\/li>\n<li>Crystal : The Wedding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, six episodes in total, released in pairs over three volumes. Each episode will probably be about the size of &#8216;Leanna&#8217;s big streak&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like a solid idea. I get to finish what I started recently with Leanna, I get to use the new Maddison model, and the most popular ladies all get an appearance.<\/p>\n<p>If this does end up as the last set of games I make, these epilogues seem like a good call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not a super in depth blog post today, but I did want to (I guess), &#8216;announce&#8217; what I will be working on next.
