Thank you! In terms of sheer time, I probably spent more time on those than any other single element of the game. I had a period where I could do nothing else on my way to work other than think of Choice of Boat puns. You should see the ones I rejected.

As people have said before (I believe) about the puns:
Why’s there no hidden achievement if we’re being clever buggers and name our boat ‘Tally Row’?

I prefer “Pretty Grimy Woodhouse” for a boat name (P.G. Wodehouse)

But there is a chance for those who are not abrasive?

Absolutely. You may have to work rather hard, but that route is not closed off to a soothing servant or a servant balanced in the middle.

I found this in search of Let’s Play videos for Tally Ho.
Also this:
Hey, since Wodenhouse’s books were adapted into a TV series, how about having one of us write “Tally Ho: The Christmas Special”?
Just imagine it: Rory tries to dress up as Santa to gain the neighborhood’s prestige, Inspector Ambrose embarks on a crusade against Saint Nicholas, Aunt Primrose invites everyone to the estate again, Frankincense talks about reindeer eating habits and we’ll have a chance to hear it all about Colonel Firesnuff’s misadventures in Malasya!

I think this is one of my favorites. Rory and Haze seem to take the cake, I was fully going to Rory, but I suppose Haze stole my heart from me without my consent. Second that christmas special, Regina appearing as the grinch role undercover is a possibility too.

Oh, I just finished my first playthrough and I wanna congratulate @Gower on this masterpiece. Nothing short of magnificent, truly.
That said, it’s been a long while since a CoG has managed to get these many emotions out of me.
For example, my ever-burning, unmanageable fucking hate for Mopsie’s fucking antics with that untalented nut of a figaro-wanna be. I won’t lie and say that at some point I thought of romancing Mopsie, if only to break that poor sob’s heart in a trillion pieces. The ultimate cucking story.
On the other hand, my absolute, unbrittled contempt for Haze’s activities, alongside my disgust for Frank trying to strong-arm my poor Rory into one of her dolls that must behave however she wants. The only reason I let them be happy is because I noticed how much the optimistic Rory loved her.
Of course, there were also good feelings. For example, I absolutely adore Rory. He is very much a representation of me, if I had flipped nobility and rich when life assigned my roles.
All in all, awesome game, Gower. Truly.

This is the first game to make me laugh out loud since one of those Monkey Island games - and I have played the Baldur’s Gate series.

Very nice.
In my imagination, male Haze resembles '80s Pete Burns (with purple-streaked hair).
Another wonderful story @Gower 
I meant to post on this a while ago, but RL…I have been looking forward to this for a while now and it was even better than expected Rory is so delightfully daffy that I couldn’t help but fall for her, the shower cap part sounded exactly like something my girlfriend would do 
Glad that I got to get a happy ending with her and would really love yo know what her Aunt wants with us in NY Also, the choice during the interview to say “everyone loves me” doesn’t seem to give stats, unless I’m missing something

“Everyone loves me” gives %+15 soothing–easy to miss a bump in a bipolar trait, though!
I’m so glad you liked it! This is just what I needed to hear as I wrestle with the outline for the next game…

Will the next game use the same premise? Or will it be something completely different?
That is yet to be determined. I am torn between the desire to tell another story in this world with some new characters (and thus leave the endings of the first game untouched) and the desire to see what happens next to Rory and the MC. (And, of course, the other significant characters!)

Either one would be very interesting to me, and would play well to the strengths of Tally Ho!. I hope that whichever setting you choose, Regina’s niece (Trina?) would reappear. Her appearance as an older (and possibly more mature) agent would be a nice connection between the stories, and would save on your needing to create at least one interesting character.

Feel like a new story should be told. The there’s so many endings you’d have to account for and some of them are better left alone.
