Aiden & Gray
🕑 Added 2020-10-15 15:15:26 +0000 UTC
Aiden (I'm still tweaking the colour of his design a bit) and Gray will be next in development after James' route is completed.
I've explained before, but I want to say it again; both of these characters will be worked on simultaneously. I made this decision because technically, Gray would be last in development (after Aiden). I know that Aiden is not a very popular guy, and he appeals to a minority of players who prefer to play a dominant role. Gray however, appeals to a lot of players. So having both at the same time prevents a lull in interest.
Because Gray is being written by another writer, I can focus my attention on Aiden's route instead. I will still be making art for both of them however. Each new route brings its own set of art challenges; from new sprites, to new outfits, to new backgrounds (James added a whopping 70 new backgrounds), and of course, the actual CGs. So it's a lot to juggle!
Once James' route is finished, each month will bring a new chapter for both Aiden and Gray. I'm unsure how much progress I can finish each month, so I'm keeping it to 1 chapter a month. If I can finish more, well that's always a plus!
Note: James' route is twice as long as the others, so you'll be going back to regular sized chapters for Aiden and Gray.
A little more info about Aiden and Gray...
These two guys are the complete opposite of each other; one is demure, submissive and insecure. The other is confident, suave and dominant. Gray should appeal to people who want a flirty and dominant character to romance them. Aiden is the opposite; he is submissive and the MC has the chance to pursue him. Both routes feature BDSM themes, especially Aiden as his route is centered on femdom.
Aiden's route is the only one out of the 6 characters that will not be available to play for free completely due to its sexual nature. Most likely his first few chapters are available to play for free, and you must get Plus to read the rest.
Gray's route is tamer since it focuses on gang related issues instead. There will still be sexual scenes, of course!
Also, once James' route is finished, Patreons can vote from all the currently known male side characters to become the 7th route. Side characters in Aiden and Gray's route are excluded, because you only know their design, not their character.

Generally, I am not into submissive LI, but I have absolute confidence in your writing. That small fragment of the Aiden route you've shared with us once totally confirms that I am going to enjoy this route as well :)

Both routes interest me, though Aiden more so. It's so bloody rare seeing a submissive LI in otome, and I honestly wish there were more. :x EDIT: Also... Gray's redesign still just really cracks me up, though that's usually the case when I see a character has changed so drastically visually. Like... "wait a second, wth are you?!" xd

Really really looking forward to Aiden's route and I absolutely love grays design!
You are really knocking these out of the park. It seems like so much overwhelming work, but I still love every bit of content. It speaks volumes for your work ethic and talent. Very excited to see these two in action!

Judging by your explanation, it is clear that this is really the right decision to work on these characters at the same time.
