Pics 103: A Night At Lizards Preview

New material takes longer to make than recycled material. It took 2 and a half years to make Something's In The Air originally, but the remake has taken 9 months so far because for the most part I am recycling old content.

I decided to add two new stories at the end and will release versions 0.8 and 0.9 when they are done, but because they are new there is nothing to recycle except maybe sets and outfits, but that is cancelled by the fact that most of the images for this first story are crowd scenes which is also extra time consuming. 

Bottom line, I have no idea if I can finish this new story this month.  So at the very least I will share a slightly spoilery preview.

A Night at Lizards path fills several story gaps in the overall plot. The main one being what happened to Ariane and Rebecca the night of the blackout.

To tell the story, you can't go to the club with either Rachel or Ariane, so you go with Wendy.  Reaching the story is very simple, you go to the gym, ask for Wendy to be your trainer and do everything she says as opposed to the other Wendy path where you take the lazy route to reach the beach.

She sees you are a hard worker and offers you a temp job for one night at the club, because they are going to be extra busy and need the help.  If you agree the story begins.

Another gap in the game is the lack of NTR content.  I don't get the attraction, but it is huge in harem hentai, which SITAR is supposed to be a satire of, though I haven't actually figured out how to satirize it just yet.

NTR is basically the woman or man of your dreams sleeping with someone else which makes you sad.  That's it, that's the punchline. Most games that have NTR, make the NTR content optional, and I decided to make it optional by allowing you to choose how you feel about it up front.

It is easy to think that this story is late game content because I am making it almost last, but it is actually early game content, in fact it could very easily be the first thing new players encounter because it branches off the gym with naturally easy choices.

I am also making an effort to make SITAR a stand alone game, so some people may play SITAR without playing DAR first, so they may have no idea how or why Ariane is important to the player.

When you see Ariane and Rebecca in the club together you can choose one of three things. Choose to not care (no NTR), choose where you recognize Ariane and Rebecca and that they are just friends (a little NTR), be jealous that Ariane is out with someone else (NTR!)

I have already spoiled the plot in the Rachel Meets Ariane story: Ariane ends up with Lydia instead of Rebecca.

Which leads to the third reason of the story:  As I remade SITAR, I made an effort to make the story for those that play as Males and those that play as Females to be as similar as possible, but I thought it would be fun to have one variant plot, and that is this path.

Spoilers! Wendy is canonically hetero, so any love scene with her requires being male. Rebecca is canonically a gay female, so any love scene with her requires being also a gay female.  The rules regarding these possible encounters are different.

That is another reason why this is taking so long to write: There is a male path and a female path, along with NTR paths and a non-NTR paths for both.  That's four versions of the story to write.

None of these four images will actually be in the game, I just thought I'd illustrate the four possible couples in the story.
