Suggestion for all players

If you are looking for just sex in this game you are wasting yours and Wolfschadowes time. By trying to focus on just the best/most points path you are missing so much of what makes this game unique and totally fucking awesome.

I have watched these characters change and evolve into potentially real people on the lower scoring paths. They literally open up to you as people and show a depth of personality that is represented nowhere else in the AIF world, that I know of anyway, on the least desirable paths (at least according to score). The paths that seem to lead you away from the sex seem to have more potential for relationships than the higher score ones do. They seem to be the difference between love and lust.

Everyone wants different things in a game and I’m sure not everyone wants to get into that aspect of the game but its there if you look for it. My advice is trying both. You can and will really learn who the girls are by getting off the “best/highest points” path. There is so much more to this game then got to score with the girls.

Kudos to the architect. Wolfschadowe very well done so far.

Thanks Sebastian.

I'm just trying to make a game that I would want to play. I like games with story's (Baldurs Gate, Anything BioWare, Witcher.) If it has nudity and sex...even better! HA!

Really, my take on Adult Interactive Fiction is to have a game where there is a good story, and that the Sex is, for the most part, a function of the story, rather than the story making and excuse for sex. In order to have a good story, you need good characters. In order to care about a plot, I think we need to care about the characters. Also, when we care about the characters themselves, the sex moves above porn, and becomes erotica. I'm not trying to tell a story full of sex. I'm trying to tell an erotic adventure story, and make it interactive in a way where the player has a real impact. What impact will Brad have on the lives of the girls. What impact will the girls have in the lives of Brad. Follow a path focused on only Emily, and we'll see what would happen to all the others without Brad's influence. Focus on Faith and see how her life differs because of Brad's influence. What happens to Natalie and Azumi if Brad never meets them? What happens if he tries to get them back together, but fails? What if he succeeds?
All of this piled on top of Brads own story it what makes the interactive aspect of the game. Adult=Erotic + Non-Erotic mature themes. Interactive is what I described above, and Fiction is a good story (Hopefully!) to tie it all together.

That's what Adult Interactive Fiction is to me. That's the AIF game I'm trying to make.

It's also very encouraging to me to know that others are seeing that and appreciating it. Thank you all for playing the game!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled mindless ranting.

"Just sex" is probably the reason why most of us have actually found here in the first place. Sex sells, even if it "just" sells a deep character development.

I’m not going to argue with you about sex sells, you are absolutely correct. However this game has been out for over a year and so far we have had 3 sex scenes. We are on Episode 6 already and so far by scene Brad has had, possibly depending on paths, 3 orgasms, the girls have had 3. He could have had them in a multitude of scenarios but just 3 scenes with orgasms. I can’t remember clearly what was included in Demo and Episode 1 but I think at that point it was 1 sex scene and maybe 1 orgasm for Brad and 1 for girls. If you have been here since the beginning trust me it wasn’t “Sex” that brought you to this game it was the possibility of sex.

I've been here since ep.3, probably late enough.
