Hi guys,
I appreciate the activity on the thread and I'm here to give some of those plot details. Please understand that I can't give any estimation on when the game will be ready - I really have no control over that and do not even know myself.
As for the plot, as some of you posted, the story takes place on a vacation in France. It is supposed to take place the very next summer, but it was difficult to find a model the right age for the baby after one year, so Charlie looks somewhere between about 3-5 years old, but please, just suspend your disbelief for that detail and imagine it is the next summer, or maybe two summers later. Anyway, the plot is that Justin has a super-wealthy cousin who lives in France, and his cousin has invited the family to stay with him for a week. Justin and Tracy decide to take Lisa with them so that they can have a little more free time while on vacation. The game play mechanic is mostly about competing for respect within the household. It's a close competition and both men are very attractive to all the women (Justin's cousin's wife is an Olympic figure skating champion): Justin is a stylish, successful writer, moderately wealthy and very athletic. Justin's cousin is also stylish and handsome, but is also extremely rich and powerful. Justin and his cousin compete for respect, and how the girls in the house react to them depends on who is most respected at any given time. The player can make dialogue choices, and complete minor quests to raise his respect levels relative to his cousin's. But interesting stuff happens whether Justin is most respected, or not respected at all. During the introduction to the game, you get to choose whether you cheated with Lisa in the first game (and so have a continuing relationship, versus you have not seduced her yet), and whether Justin and Tracy became swingers in the first game or not. Thus, some dialogue and options change depending on how you choose to continue on from the first game. I've probably said too much, so I will leave it there. None of what I said is a promise because even though I wrote the script, things may change as Leo codes it and we start play testing and trying to balance it out.
As for as expanding the first game, I would love to, but I doubt it is going to happen. The first game is already huge. I've had many of the ideas that others have suggested here, and I agree there is so much more that could be put into that game, but there are also things about that game that I want to change, and it may be better to start from scratch. Maybe we'll do a LWT redux one day and overhaul the whole game while keeping the essential elements. I'd love to do that, but I'm not sure if I want to do that INSTEAD of using that time and energy to make new games that are also awesome and full of the ideas like that... We'll see how my next projects are received.
I just finished a script with a friend of mine (a super hot Dutch girl, no shit, we're calling her Eve) about two sisters who want to use a man in their sister rivalry, and I think it will be a hit. But I'm an optimist by nature. I thought Get Me Pregnant and Stripper Pick-up would be hits as well, and I was wrong about that so I guess we will have to wait and see...
