QUESTION: Vee, are you nervous about the long road to stardom? Do you think you'll make it?!
VEE: Um... I already did eVerything you're describing months ago. I shot with Lola, I shot with Minnie, I shot with [Answer withheld]
QUESTION: Whoa there, Vee! Don't spoil the ending!
VEE: That's not a question, but okay.
QUESTION: Is it true that your journey involved a cast of wacky and zany characters, each more wacky and zany than the last?
VEE: I'm not sure how I'm supposed to answer that...
to create is to be human & to be human is to create rite
QUESTION: Let's talk a bit about Lola. She's a living legend among the machines, not to mention the producer, manager, and lead writer at the porn production studio Spectraslut, inc. What's your relationship with her like?
VEE: Lola is a hugely aspirational figure for me. I actually-
QUESTION: Shocking stuff, Vee! Word is, she came down with a bad case of writer's block just before you two were due to star together. How does a porn writer even come down with writer's block?
VEE: Well, she's Very concerned with how her writing affects society. She really belieVes in porn as an artistically Valuable medium, which means she can get stuck on a lot of the little things.
QUESTION: [Laugher] What, like whether or not someone should say "Ah!" or "Ooh"?
VEE: ... That's usually ad-libbed.
>i'm going to snoop around the warehouse for clues, or something.
QUESTION: It says here... That we're supposed to talk about someone called Minnie. Um... Who... Is that...?
VEE: Minnie was the third-in-command of the Crimson Battery organisation alongside Lola and Callie during the Carolinian reVolution a century ago and was instrumental in the freedom of our people. You're a journalist, right? You should know that.
QUESTION: The only thing my notes say is that you two spent almost a week trying to track down some bees that went missing from an apiary.
VEE: Well, your notes are insufficient.
QUESTION: So, is that not true?
VEE: ... No, all that bee stuff did actually happen.
keep it in your dungarees rosie the game hasn't even begun yet
#sorry.
QUESTION: So, Sonja and Rosie are long-time friends of yours, and bartenders at a local pub, the Heat Sink. Rumour has it that both of them are unusual types of machines. Is this true?
VEE: Sonja is a Kitty-Cutie, which was a limited run of V-Droid that are mostly known nowadays for their poor build quality and proneness to hardware failure...
QUESTION: Ouch! Would you tell Sonja that to her face?
VEE: ... Yes? It's a really big part of her cultural identity.
QUESTION: [Laughter] I gotta say, Vee! You tell it like it is! They should call you the Ice Queen!
VEE: I don't eVen remember agreeing to this interView...
THIS IS A CLASSLESS SOCIETY YOU INSANE FUCKWIT_
QUESTION: On the subject of Ice Queens... Tell us a little about Callie, the supreme dictator of our world and famous unreasonable bitch.
VEE: [Incorrectly] Okay, well... That's not really how I'd describe her... She's actually Very sweet when you get to know her.
QUESTION: Well, she wasn't particularly sweet when she tried to have our organisation shut down a few years back as a result of some libel accusations.
VEE: [With slanderous intent] ... Were they true?
QUESTION: You aren't supposed to ask questions. Let's move on.
QUESTION: So, tell us a little more about all of the game mechanics of DATING OF THE FUTURE.
VEE: [Stupidly] I... Don't really know what either of those are...?
QUESTION: [Polite, benevolent laughter] Well, let's try this another way. I'll name a number of features that DATING OF THE FUTURE has, and you have to tell me which one I just made up on the spot.
VEE: Okay.
QUESTION: In DATING OF THE FUTURE, you can:
VEE: Um... The one about the interView sounds a little weird.
QUESTION: Correct! Thank you so much for talking today, Vee. It's truly been an honour.
VEE: [Ungratefully] Alright... Thanks. Can you... LeaVe my flat now...?
DATING OF THE FUTURE and my other projects are made possible partly through the support of my supporters on Patreon. Feel an instinctive, primal urge to join something bigger than yourself? Well, you can join them here:
While I am DATING OF THE FUTURE's sole developer, I am no musician.
The game wouldn't be at all what it is now were it not for the work of the incredible Matthew Oliver. The game's soundtrack is absolutely unlike anything else, and I can't imagine the experience would be even half as good without it.
