>>6031924I did get close to fluking multiple time, but I abandonned projects before, and I hated the idea of not finishing another one, I wanted to be able to finish something for once and be able to sleep at night.
I remember during the very first thread, I took into account the possibility of very few voters and made the original win condition of getting laid if I only had a few voters. It's also why back then the time clock was more pronounced, it was literally the timer of the quest in a way. Of course, I did have more plans than that if it did work out, but I had a simple one shot true and done idea in the back of my mind too.
Also, I found some oooold 'concept art' of Etsy. I think in that art Etsy wasn't always supposed to be a super genius, but she was supposed to be this slightly weird neighbour. However, I'd say she was supposed to be more confident, but still pretty socially inept. While I'd say I've improved in some parts of my art, there's still parts of my old art I prefer, something about the rougher aesthetic gives stuff more personality in places. I think I'll try to refine that in my next quest.
Also as for Ana, she was a problem child, but even if you hard focused on her she would've still been pretty fucked (fun fact focusing too much on Aleksander would've been bad too as he'd see it as you being overbearing).
Ana was almost always designed to be a problem child, where every child mostly respects you as you respect them, Ana was just inherently rebellious. I think the reason I wanted to do it is because I really wanted a 'you don't GET IT, dad!' but it's not something that really fit any of the kids much apart from maybe Sophia. She's also sort of a parallel to Etsy herself, and there's a few scenes I considered but never got to. Etsy was supposed to be more encouraging of Ana's antics saying that 'she did the same at her age' which weaver would disagree with, which would cause an argument. However while Etsy is a little more accepting of Ana's stuff, I'd say she matured enough to realize when her kid is going a little too far.
