Is the closure of public submission final?

What about characters who remained underdeveloped like the Elf Boy or the Kitsune Scouts?

Sav mentioned previously in the thread that the release version of the game may prune clearly half baked/unfinished characters, with an option to enable them in the settings like Skyrim's "Cutting Room Floor" mod.

Elf boy may or may not fall into that category. Kinda subjective, but I turn him off every playthrough and I'm not sure that anyone would notice he's gone.

Kitsune Scouts I think are fine, tbh. Assuming you're talking about Hinata/Kiri/Yuzu, they seem to mainly be introduction/setup to the Kitsune Den.

It seems writers who have already gotten content in the game can write for them if they want.

elf boy probably cutting board mode, kitsune scouts already integrated into the start of floof house stuff so I doubt they'll get cut, even if they are limited.

Does that mean Lessala's adventurers will be cut too?

no they're feature complete

Damn. And I always kept wondering if we'll ever meet the other adventuring party again.

 

[LeDoraggo]

They all met their ends by the most powerful character of the game: Off D. Screen

FWIW the intention for our Next Big Game is that combat encounters don't have sex (at least as an expectation; there'd still be situations where it's appropriate, but those would be the exception) and that there's dramatically fewer sexable NPCs overall, but each NPC is much more developed; probably 1 per staff writer per Region, but using someone like Hana or Varena as the standard for how content-rich I'd like them each to be.

Hopefully that will result in a good balance between speed of development and still having a LOT of meat for everyone to chew on (and a lot less characters feeling like hollow filler in an area) in both the smut and gameplay departments.

So less of a smut game and more a game with smut? Sounds interesting.

Yes

Will it be earlier, later or concurrent in the timeline?
