Thoughts about yesterday's poll results
🕑 Added 2023-01-05 14:04:57 +0000 UTCSo, the voting yesterday gave some interesting results. I didn't figure that the Streaming Company would be the most missed feature from MAiH1. I figured it'd be something sex-related, actually. I guess all of you are less horny than I thought you were. I understand though: the company was a big part of the routine in part 1 and I plan to bring it back asap.
I will redo a lot of the story soon. The current 'story' is more of a placeholder, but I really want to put more effort into it. I really want to guide the player through all the different features and business opportunities in a fun, celebrity-based and story-driven way. Very soon, I will be greatly expanding the choice of the "best friend" character beyond the three influencers. I'll probably tie this into the character creation process, letting you spend points to pick perhaps any celeb in the game if you're willing to spend the points. The best friend will play a very large role, so I think it will greatly improve the player experience if you can pick your favorite girl for this role.
Sisters will make a comeback as well soon, guided by the poll. This too will probably tie into the new character creation plans, which will focus more on creating the player's backstoryr. I'm still working things out when it comes to this, but trust me when I say it'll be a good mix between MAiH1 and fresh, new stuff when it's done.
Escorts were apparently more popular than I thought as well. I loved making them, but I figured they offered too little replay value for the time it took to write them. But I guess I thought wrong! Which is good, because I would love to eventually add those back in and start writing those unique experiences again. I have very fun plans for the sexclub as well. With the time system in place this time around, I plan to make fun use of that to give certain places different events based on the day of the week or the time. For example, the club might have a swingers night on fridays where you can meet all those married celebs. Come back the next day and it just might be gangbang night.
Anyway, enough rambling about the poll results. I am at work on the next update already and I am almost finished redoing the first business. The barber has a new celebrity owner and she'll reluctantly sell you her business now. I just have to redo the upgrades and make them actually fun to do and that will be done. Don't expect massive things from the small businesses, but at least they'll be a lot more fun than just meeting a placeholder guy and clicking "buy". I'll be doing the same for the gas station after that, add more functionality and upgrades to the massage salon and gym and then I'll probably do the 0.1.4 release before I start working on relationship mechanics alongside expanding character creation, working it into a more fleshed out storyline and re-adding the streaming business slowly.
I am happy to see very little bug reports on 0.1.3. I did notice I accidentally left some gas mechanic dev stuff in the sidebar but apart from that it seems to be mostly bug-free. That seems to imply that either my current dev process is working as intended... or none of you 300+ people are reporting bugs :)
That's all for now!

MAiH2 will have parties! I will probably re-introduce the intro party similar to 1 as well as having randomized celeb parties to crash ánd letting the player host his own once he owns a mansion :)

Another great feature I'd love to see return was the celeb party from the first game, where you first met Madeleine Beer. If we could have something like that, where you go to a party with perhaps a random selection of celebs each time, that would be cool!
