I don't remember seeing "the van" scene but you're not the first to comment on it. I wonder if that was something you only see if you're on a certain path and made certain choices (?) On my route, Anna is creeped out by Marvin so she basically freezes him out with every choice she's allowed to make... ...so perhaps that explains this?

Disregard what I wrote earlier. I significantly changed many of the choices I made and was able to trigger the scene. The decisions were so far off from my normal playstyle that I understand why I didn't see it before;).

For now, at least, the player's choices do seem to matter with respect to the story. I'm glad to see that.
Affects and a lot of what the gamer chooses. Different points have animations that you can't see and there are thoughts like speech in different colors. They also change depending on the points. And it takes a lot of time to do. APM is like the adventure games of my youth, where there were usually 3-4 options, and one killed and one jackpot. If there is a certain number of points it will ask again whether you do it or not. If there are no points it will not ask anything.

Everything I've investigated is that the renders (art) is like 80% of the work... and unless you have a strong PC with a high processor it can be painfully slow.
From what I understand all the renders were done long time ago for 0.75, it's already months since the animator move on to work for 0.76. So what we are waiting all these time are just Palmers adding texts.

Can't imagine he used to do both renders and adding text alone by himself at a very fast and generous phase (like 2 months or even less), now the content is just dripping slowly, drop by drop supposedly every weekends.

From the developer's own words, the artist is working on future events, and it makes sense-- to a point. The scale of workload is weighted in such a way that it's easier to code script and harder to render... but you have to go to two things I also brought up:

1) How much cut content is there that doesn't make it into the game. If the artist is say working a full update ahead while the developer codes, there is an in between time of editing. Upon editing how much has to be redone on the rendering side if what is rendered doesn't fit the store line?

2) And there is the difficulty of getting the story to come out the way you would want it (as the van scene) ... It can be frustrating for us waiting while the developer tweaks and changes key scenes, but in the end the wait was worth it because he made it crystal clear his vision not just some random sex scene
