How do you know that the "twist" had a decisive role in the game? I ask this because L&P himself wrote that it was not important for the Dylan/Sophia path.We know (based on LP claims) that the story is already written for the total period of the game (30 playable days). It means that all the various routes are there already (e.g. if Aidan is stopped by Don Morello then…). I understand that “the Twist” played a vital role in his original writing and he tried to change it since his Patreon subscribers didn’t like it at all. If I was LP I would re-write the Dylan/Sophia LI having in mind that Dylan is:
- Either my little boy who gradually becomes a man and my feelings grow stronger with time.
- Or the little pervert who likes to see mommy interact with other men (the infamous cuck route).
By any means I wouldn’t make him a second MC. Total waste of time. After fixing that I would check what’s the main reason for slowing down the progress and try to address it.
- Complexity of assets used. Hire an expert.
- Story over-detailed. Reduce the unnecessary parts (e.g. side jobs, Emma, etc).
To make more sense in terms of gradual corruption I would remove the 30 days counter and extend the timeline. If you want to have some sense of realism you cannot expect a conservative wife and mother to become a super slut within 30 days after 20 years of a relatively stable marriage because her husband is overwhelmed with work responsibilities for one or two months… The maximum I can expect in that case is an ons with a total stranger. Otherwise there’s missing narrative…
- what has been Sophia Liam relationship in the past few years?
- what makes Sophia feel horny in general?
So far LP has demonstrated that Sophia and Liam are deeply in love… It doesn’t make any sense at all that out of the blue she becomes a slut.
If however we say “fuck realism” then make it a proper porn game, shorten the updates and let Sophia fuck someone already…
As I understand it, or interpreting this statement, he didn't have a reasonable resolution for this "twist" within the game, L&P just believed that this betrayal of Dylan would "fade away" in the course of the game.
