The Cutting Room Floor #1
I thought it would be fun to talk about what could have been. These are all plot points that I have considered but decided not to go with. If you find this interesting, let me know!
The Many Faces of Sirius Blossite
#1 – Sirius was not always going to be the bad, bad man that he turned out to be. In the original draft of the story, he was the one that talked Altair into leaving. They were going to remain, friends, even after she ran away.
#2 – Funny enough? Altair and Sirius are actual townies I made before I started Simblr. They are actually a happily married couple in my Not So Berry save. I just really liked Altair so I decided to use her.
Why the changes: I felt like the plot was kind of… I don’t know, boring? I wanted to explore something more dark and twisted. I also felt since Foxglove and Ume were already such “nice guys” that I didn’t want Sirius to be one too. Sorry, Sirius.
Ume Hanakatoba and the death of Foxglove Glade
#1 – Foxglove was originally going to die in a fire, not as part of a murder plot.
#2 – Altair wasn’t going to be at the Yoga studio with Clover while he died. She was actually going to be cheating on him with Ume.
Why the changes: I changed the way Foxglove died because it ultimately served as a way to make Ume a detective and build up later points to integrate Sirius into the story. As for the cheating? It really doesn’t fit with the character I designed Ume to be. Altair is very impulsive and lives life by her emotions. Ume, on the other hand, is very level-headed and tends to put other’s feelings before his own.
