0.30.1 with Nikki should release later today (Saturday). Header image is just a cheeky homage, Liz would never. I will have a separate post on FeMC antics.

Ever noticed how there's so many girls and it kind of muddies every poll ever taken? I have. I have also noticed that we're no longer in June of 2023 when I could work on the game 24/7 as a job as we fell off a bit of a cliff. With time and compute resources being limited due to life obligations, triaging and focusing on the best parts is probably the ideal contingency while juggling a day job. And gives more focused polls. And lets us add more side characters over time without acting like they're now the main cast.

Flings/Situationships™

A prime example of fling potential is Nikki because story-wise kpop stars have contractual obligations to not date, to allow fans the illusion of emotional availability in parasocial fantasies involving her. Usually these clauses last for about half a decade and part of the fun here will be an adventure with MC after one of her concerts on her Shackles of Love tour. Who knows, maybe you guys vote her up into the main cast eventually, there is potential for some sneaking around and avoiding crazed fans? But for now, that's what she is. A fling.

Every girl that is fairly "old" in terms of introduction and only has had a one off appearance in the game will be tagged as a fling so people know what they're getting into.

Tier 1 girls (UNORDERED LIST)

These characters could be considered essential in a Bethesda game as they're weaving more meaty arcs and there is no Bindr without them. Going forward, the primary polls we do monthly on a 3x basis will include the following girls (RANDOM ORDERING):

Soumya (historical Tier 1 but non-pregnant divergence reboot is coming)

Neha (Obviously, she's inevitable by the way the game works)

Elizabeth (Lots of momentum)

Jessica & Leia (Lots of momentum)

Natalie & Rebecca (Because, of course, the oppression)

Hailey (inextricably linked with the new main arc forming)

Farah (kinda tagged essential due to the main arc with Galante)

Camila (the game sort of made her essential)

Tiana (she'll be very relevant in an upcoming family arc which will also introduce a Fling™ doctor)

Angela (she is kind of central as of the 2025 reboot)

Yeo-Bin (lots of momentum for now)

Judy (inextricably linked to Angela and Galante)

Jennifer (Got some cool stuff lined up for her)

Kasia (big plans)

Tier 2 girls (UNORDERED)

These will feature in separate less frequent polls + I will use them to sprinkle chaos into the game on my own. Everyone can be uplifted to a higher tier, I will be doing polls on uplifts regularly.

Lisa (she's flip-flopping between Tier 1 & 2, but not really an essential character yet)

Hikari (was supposed to be a fling, but I have a date lined up for her)

Sarah (kinda was popular and then fell off like a burger off a truck)

Ma-Ri (I love this character, planning to bring her back, but given lack of updates, Tier 2)

Helene (love her, hope she makes Tier 1 in the upcoming poll on this)

Fling™ Tier 3 girls (UNORDERED)

These will be sprinkled on as needed and will not be polluting the polls unless people respond really well to them. Experimental stuff, throwing stuff at the wall seeing what sticks Everyone can be uplifted to a higher tier, I will be doing polls on uplifts regularly.

Club Girl Quinn (Potential for more, but this is where she sits realistically right now)

The Police Lady (I honestly can't remember her name without looking it up)

Nikki (upcoming kpop star in 0.30.1, might evolve into its own arc over time, fling for now)

Ryu-Jin (has a fancy xmas date after Neha, but very undefined, edging Fling status)

Gloria (I have to revamp her and try again, but for now it is what it is)

Michelle (the domme from the Seoul region, hasn't been developed since)
