Hello, everyone! Tomorrow marks the release of Barachoda Bloom's first build! I hope you're as excited as I am. In preparation for tomorrow, I'm going to answer some questions you guys asked in the Q&A survey. Let's start!

Do the characters wear boxers or briefs?

It depends on the character, but most of them wear briefs. There's like one or two characters that wear boxers, possibly more. You'll see.

Where did you get the idea for this story from? What inspired you to write a gay story with Muslim characters (which is awesome, by the way)?

I mentioned this before but originally I wanted to make an RPG in the vein of the Persona games. One part of that RPG idea is that the MC used to date a lot of men before he found love with the love interest in the RPG. Eventually, I decided that I was more interested in the romance angle than the main story, so I decided to make that part into a dating sim.

As for what inspired me to write a gay story with Muslim characters, I just saw that there aren't a lot of gay Muslim characters out there, so I decided that I should write a few. After all, there are some interesting stories and perspectives you can get from gay Muslims.

Who’s your favorite character you’ve made for the game?

As a creator, which character you like the most?

I don't think it would be just for me to reveal that just yet. If I did, then it would influence how you would play the game. And I love them all. However, my favorite character is the guy who fucks the MC and gets fucked by the MC on the same night. I will say that I think the sexiest character is the biker guy and the character I believe will be the most popular is also the biker guy.

Will there be any bonus routes?

It depends. As much as I would like to put 20 more routes into the game, I'm just one person and I'd like to finish the game someday. That said, if the game is popular enough, I will add a few more routes to the game, including a few secret ones.

How long are the routes?

I can't say for sure, but I'm aiming for each route to be 100k to 150k words. All in Love and War was around 60k words, and the routes for Barachoda Bloom will have much more content and complexity, so I think that's a good estimate. Some LI will get longer routes than others. This is mostly because I don't want to pad out any routes just so that each route has a similar word count. I hope you guys understand.

Linear story, kinetic story, single route, multi route.. harem?

Will there be routes or one path

Multi route, no harem.

is the project the sequel of all in love and war?

Yes, it takes place a few days after the epilogue of All in Love and War with Jayden. However, I'm not calling it All in Love and War 2 for several reasons. 

1. The two VNs are different genres. All in Love and War is a linear bittersweet VN while Barachoda Bloom is a Dating Sim with more positive vibes.
2. The protagonist of Barachoda Bloom is not Jayden, but a different character.
3. "All in Love and War 2" implies that you need to read All in Love and War first, and you don't need to.
4. I just like the title "Barachoda Bloom" a lot more than "All in Love and War".

How will the updates be? Will it be updating one full route of a character then another character? Or will it be updating one day for each character?

I think It's going to be a little bit of both. I'll try to focus on finishing one LI's route, but occasionally I'll give updates on other LI's routes because I'll want to work on other characters more than the current guy whose route I'm working on.

What is it? What's it about? Who's the MC? Who are the romancables? Will there be sex scenes? If so, can we choose to be top or bottom?

It's a dating sim. It's about a guy who goes on a trip to Bangladesh because of a work project and gets into a relationship with one of several guys on the side. The MC is this guy. The romancables are these fine fat ass characters (and more). Yes, there will be sex scenes. As for whether you'll be able to choose to be top or bottom, that depends. Barachoda Bloom is planned to have mostly Top content (As in content for Tops) with some Bottom content thrown in there. But I noticed that a lot of people who read All in Love and War also played Only I Have Skills (which has only Bottom content) and Lustful Desires (which was initially for Bottoms only before Top content was added) so I'll consider adding the option to bottom for sex scenes. But please consider that adding sex scenes is a lot of work, so I might not add as much bottom content as you may want.

Does the main character wear briefs?

Yes.

how do you find passion in making VN?

I just think of beefy and hairy men with fat asses bottoming.

How are you today?

How are you?

I'm fine, just working really hard. But I'm fine.

That's all I have for today. Make sure you get ready for the release of Barachoda Bloom tomorrow!
