July 24th Update

Today, I want to go through a few details of what’s different about the narrative format for Miranda.

First, this will actually be a more linear game than, say, Maddison. This doesn’t mean there won’t be options along the way which can result in a choice of locations, it’s just that there’ll be the occasional choice between two different routes rather than complete freedom.

The normal format of picking uptown, downtown, then one of three different stores or businesses is still one I like, but I think that this way more of a story develops. Doing it this way also means that you can visit nearly all the locations available in one play through (though it probably won’t be your first attempt as some are hidden). Since the player and Miranda are supposed to be spending the whole day together, this makes more sense to me.

Also, this doesn’t mean that there will be less locations than normal. Expect roughly as many locations as Maddison or Rachel Part 3.

Part of the reason for doing it this way is also just to try something different. I’m getting a little tired of the regular format, and I’m quite enthusiastic about doing it this way.

The second thing I want to detail is the ending. There will be only one ending in this game, and it should be fairly long and detailed (like Rachel Part 3), but the new aspect will be epilogues. There will be four different epilogues which take place the day following the one you spend with Miranda. Which one you end up playing through will depend on Mirandas final influence and lust ratings, as well as some choices you make on the first day. Three will include sex of some sort, and one will just be a conversation.

For example, one epilogue will include the threesome with Miranda and Faye. Both women have to like you enough for this option to appear. This makes a bit more sense to me compared to Maddison, where the threesomes occur before having sex with Maddison alone. Having a threesome after this seems like a more natural progression to me.

Preview images this week are all from the nude beach, which makes a return to the game series after being last seen in Zoe. It’s also a good example of a location that you’ll have to ‘unlock’ with certain decisions during the game.
