yes, hooded was asked to make it either ballet or starlets as both paths are exclusionary. ballet is for those who prefer virgin or innocent runs and starlets is for more liberal runs. he was asked by the starlets author to make them this way.
dance classes will be continued at ballet secrets as the {mc} is far beyond what pav and the city can offer but i need to complete the underlying content for the dance school first. the midterm plans for ballet content:
first year is {mc} apprenticing to the dance school if she passes
second year onwards is {mc} attending the new vaganova school in the city and becoming a full-time coryphée.
there will be monthly performances and weekend rehearsals, this will be both a major time and money sink.
ballet secrets will be expanded on, the current plans is having a physio, café, ballet classes and a dedicated fitness shop for dancers.
new locations: marliinsky theater, canal area and the vaganova school, those are the three main locations but i am likely to add more locations in around gad to support the fae and the attendant cast.
there is going to be a strong underlying magic element that i am still planning out but the core ballet content will still be available to non-magic. currently i am looking at adding some major content to magic when i am happy with the storylines and balance in the summer school both intertwined with ballet and separately for other areas with the introduction of new fae, critters and characters. however i am not a coder so this is taking longer than i would have liked but i would prefer to release with as few bugs as possible so i am play testing a few ideas at present but due to game timescales these things take time. a lot of time.
i will state ballet is not for everyone, and i have had feedback about complaining about the lack of sex but there is plenty of sex in the game already hooded wanted to create something to fill in the gaps for summer and also create a slower corruption path rather than two clicks you are getting banged by half the school. he also wanted to start to give content to areas that have been neglected for a long time and the only hint i will give here is that the nights in russia is going to get a lot more dangerous with the new elements that i hope to introduce.
