Harem Highlander...s?

Some of you may be aware of this already if you're on Discord and have seen some of my work-in-progress posts, but I wanted to do an 'official' announcement of sorts, so here we go...!
Harem Highlander is officially getting a Female MC option.  When starting a new game, players are able to choose between playing the Male MC (Chad) or Female MC (Charissa).  The game content is on par for either choice, so you're not missing out on any major plot or scenes if you pick one way and not the other.  This choice is being retroactively applied to existing content (EP2 is basically done, EP1 will be finished in the next week), and with EP3 and further episodes going forward, you will get to play as whichever character you wish.  
"But Eris," you may ask, "which one is the canon character for Harem Highlander?" - the answer, my dear players, is both.  In-game, both are 100% valid canonically.  This will make more sense with further plot development.  
A couple of other quick notes from questions I've already been asked about this:
Q: Will this delay Episode 3 / Future development, if you have to make twice the renders?
A: Not appreciably. Backporting Charissa into prior episodes is 90% less complicated than making new renders, and the same applies to future art.  The main exception to this is (obviously) sex scenes, but that's not a crazy amount of time.  The fact that both MCs follow a very similar path works in my benefit, and indeed, I'm not doing any more 'extra work' than VNs with multiple branching path options wind up doing. (Girl1 Route, Girl2 Route, etc.)
Q: Is this female MC Straight? Bi ? Lesbian? How does this impact my Harem?
A: You can play Charissa as either a Bi or Lesbian woman, the choice is yours.  Chad, of course, remains as he currently is. Love interests remain 99% the same - you will not miss out on any of the girls either way.
Q: When can I play as this new MC?
A: For Subscribers, Ep1 & Ep2 will be re-released with the Charissa content as soon as I am finished back porting her into the existing scenes and doing the needed dialogue and code modifications.  For everyone else, they will get to play as her if they wish when EP3 releases.
Well, that's it for now, sorry for the incredibly long update post, I just wanted you to all to know what I've been working on, and I hope you're all looking forward to more Harem Highlander adventures.  As always I want to thank each and every one of you for your support and encouragement, it means the world to me.
<3, Eris.
