Hi everyone.<br/><br/>Um... I don't know how to say this, so I'll just say it. The game is not working for me. It feels very stilted and rigged and false, not natural at all. I'm not sure what has gone wrong because you're all playing the characters beautifully.<br/><br/>I think the problem is this scene which seems so fake and set-up. I had envisaged a much more low key relaxed development of the story and the introduction to sex for the pilots. Everyone going at it hell for leather in one big orgy is not what I wanted.<br/><br/>Note the game's title. Kaji was originally going to be the driving character behind the pace of the game and he would take Shinji under his wing and man-to-man show him how it was done, either by letting him watch he and Misato -ahem- do it or by giving him some hands on tuition with Asuka. Right now Kaji feels like just a walk-on part very overshadowed by Misato. That isn't what I want.<br/><br/>I wanted the pilots generally I think to have individual lead-ins to the act.<br/><br/>I have to confess now that our Rei player not wanting to have scenes with males is causing me problems and is not really going to work so well as I thought. My apologies, I think I have just completely badly run and designed this game. Perhaps it would have been better as a 3-player small game, I really don't have roles for Ritsuko and Gendo except as walk-on parts between long bouts of silence and that kind of presence is best handled by NPCing them.<br/><br/>Um, what else can I say? I'm tempted to pull the plug on this unless we do a serious rethink and restructure of the game which will see some of you without roles and possibly a replacement Rei. Unless our Rei can do M/F scenes. I'm really sorry, lay the blame all at my door, it's my fault for poor planning.
