No, I completely understand. I had no doubt some people wouldn't enjoy it as much, but it was something I had wanted to do from when we first introduced the swinging club. At first, it was going to be part of Chapter 5, but when we saw how much we had in that Chapter, we decided to split it up into parts.
I know it doesn't really advance the story much, and it doesn't seem to have much to with the overall story. But it does play a role in the entire 'universe' and will be referenced in later games as well, so I felt it was necessary. Though it may be a while before anyone realizes why.
And, I also wanted to use it for a selfish purpose. I have been getting better and been practicing with animations, and used this to really push what I had been working on. So it was a testing ground of sorts for that as well. And, it was just a fun thing to do. It can get a bit daunting at times, keeping the drama going in the story, and we have been writing and working on the story for quite a while, coming up with the plots, and how to bring them all together in the end. So by doing this, it gave the writers time to really hash out some of the endings we have coming up in the story. So this update was kind of a 'breather' for us, to clear our heads, and get ready for the finale.
