whats your biggest tips for writing love interests? and who’s been your favorite to write for thus far?
I could write a book on it if you'd let me u.u . I think the biggest things to keep in mind is to not make them perfect. Give them some flaws, or else they'll be boring and there'll be no room for growth. Funnily enough, I see my flawed characters getting the most love. People /really/ love Pat and he's got the most glaring flaws of the bunch.
I think it's also a good idea to construct a romance route from a plot development perspective. What challenges will the couple have to endure? What kinds of things are they going to learn? How will those lessons strengthen their relationship?
I wanted to ask, is there any plans for a character model/outfit viewer for chopro? Northern lights has one and honestly it's really neat! Would love to be able to view each of the characters outfits and that uwu
I don't have any plans to add anything like that, but I might add that along with a CG gallery. Might be a project for Build 7.
How hype should we be for the next episode? 👀 anything youre dying for people to see?
I think y'all are gonna go crazy for the new CG uwu
Would we be able to delve into the other characters story wise? Backgrounds and all?
For each of their routes, yeah. The exclusive Staccato stories feature some back stories, too :3.
I wanted to get some poly art with Eddy and Darrell and my sona is it okay? 🥹
Sounds cute! Go for it :>
We have Pat’s birthday, but do any other characters have canon birthdays?
Yes! I list them out in this devlog https://chordprogressions.itch.io/chord-progressions/devlog/471864/rapid-fire-updates-for-2023-patreon-build-2-birthdays
Any approximate when the next part of Darrell Route is coming? That cliffhanger is still killing me to this day 😭😭
Would love to have Episode 7 out by March 2025. Luckily a lot of the assets for it are already developed. That said, Episode 5 had the same luxury but still took an extra month.
Cast members' favorite mixed drinks?
I swear I've answered this before, but I cannot find the original post for the life of me. Time to make some new answers that probably contradict the previous one :>
Corey - Negroni
Darrell - Snakebite
Cliff - Tequila Sunrise
Pat - Vodka Redbull
Chester - Bourbon Sour
April - Whiskey Ginger
Moriah - Sangaria (any flavor tbh)
Dave - White Russian
Trent - Manhattan
Eddy - Mudslide (new favorite!)
Is there going to be an Eddy route where instead of entering a relationship he just focuses on his mental health and in the end comes to the conclusion that he is a beautiful person weather or not he is currently in a relationship?
I've considered doing a "victory lap" route when I'm finished with the rest of them where Eddy would be single and slutty. I gotta finish the core 6 first u.u
What's your favorite character type/dynamic you've put into ChoPro, additionally what's one you would like to add?
It changes pretty regularly since all the relationships are growing and changing as I continue to write. At the moment, I'm a really excited for the dynamic Darrell and Trent have. The boisterous, goofy lion paired with the shy, reserved deer has been a fun dynamic to write.
If Darrell was in a 127 hours situation but it’s his tail instead of his arm, how long would it take for him to decide to remove it?
What a horrible situation to put my boy in 😭. He'd probably chop it off after he started to get really hungry. Then he'd have a little nub, and he and Corey could be nub bros uwu
If the each member of the ChoPro cast could date a character from other VNs, who would they date? Or at least who would they have a crush on? Or heck, who would they be good buddies with?
I already answered one where I said who'd hookup with who: https://retrospring.net/@chordprogvn/a/112798268295702027
Let's do platonic BFF's! Side note, I'll only do FVN's that have contemporary settings.
Darrell and Dozer (ExAc) would be very good friends. I think there'd be some mutual attraction, but the way the two would mesh better as platonic gym buddies. Dozer would probably start dating Eric (MC) or Chester Hayes by the time Darrell catches on that Dozer likes men (tragic uwu).
Chester and Tai (Sileo) would get along swimmingly. Both are buff, queer business owners who have little secrets going on in their lives u.u (Chester takes a lot of inspiration from Tai, in case no one's noticed).
Dave and Richard (ExAc) would be very good friends! That mutual goofy dad energy would mesh together very well, me thinks.
Trent and Rune (Dawn Chorus) would just bleat at each other and it'd be super cute. They'd bond over deer stuff and athletics. They'd along well 🦌💖
Cliff and Mikko (Dawn Chorus) would vibe, primarily over music stuff :3.
Pat's tough... it's hard to think of someone who he could get along with but not have sex with. The best I got is probably Mylo Russo (What it Feels Like). If the two were to develop a friendship, Pat would think of Mylo too much like a little brother to peruse anything sexual or romantic.
Moriah and Lizzy (What it Feels Like) would get along GREAT. They'd be a great chaotic duo.
April and Jorgen (Dawn Chorus) would probably be friends :3. I think their music tastes would likely have a good deal of overlap.
Eddy's another tough one. I'm very used to thinking of Eddy as romantically and sexually flexible since that's what being an MC in a romance visual novel calls for. I think the best I can come up with is Lake (Dawn Chorus). Lake just has a very vibrant, friendly energy that I think Eddy would be very drawn to. Eddy would likely feel attracted to Lake, but could easily put that aside to keep things platonic and amiable. If I had to guess, I wouldn't think Eddy is Lake's type, so it'd be for the best.
Since humans are horrific in the world of chord progressions I have to wonder, would Eddy be more scared or flattered if one started flirting with him?
Human's just don't exist in the ChoPro-niverse. They'd be like aliens. Eddy would probably be very scared at first.
What're the cast dressing up as for Halloween
I gave an answer for not slutty costumes: https://retrospring.net/@chordprogvn/a/112713401568773333
Now it's time for slutty costume answers >:3. Gonna only comment on the queer boys.
Pat - Sexy Vampire (Red colored contacts, red briefs, red/black cape, false fangs)
Cliff - Femboy Hooters (cropped white T-shirt with the logo, orange short-shorts, white sneakers)
Skizzy - Devil (Red devil horns, replace his silver piercings with red metallic piercings, red bulldog harness, red jockstrap w/devil tail (b/c got no tail u.u))
Randy - Angel (they're doing a duo costume with Skizzy, gold halo, angel wings, lacy white panties, white fishnet stockings, white high heels)
Trent - Lifeguard (whistle, sunglasses, life raft, red speedo with the white cross on the front)
Darrell - Sexy Cowboy (cowboy hat, boots w/spurs, chaps + briefs, open denim vest, belt with pistol holster, bandana tied around the neck, a little "sheriff's" badge for good measure)
Dave - Biker Daddy (leather vest, leather chaps, jockstrap, leather biker hat, black boots, cigar for good measure)
Chester - Pro Wrestler (teeny wrestling trunks, bicep bands, fingerless gloves, flashy pro-wrestling boots, kneepads)
Corey - Sexy Bartender (server's vest, bowtie, white cuffs (w/o the shirt), black thong)
Eddy - Jock (cropped football jersey w/shoulder pads, athletic jockstrap, black paint under the eyes)
Gotta ask the important questions: Will we get a chance to use Trent’s forbidden handle bars? Or will he be too shy and delicate for his sex scenes to let us pound him into next Tuesday?
The box thirsts for that trussy
To answer your question without giving too much away, I plan for there to be multiple sex scenes with each love interest during their routes.
