1. Literature Lesson (4th Task)
They are in the morning, but he's going to be event-based driven updates. So if he keeps true to that, then one update would be Aiden and the next would be Don Morello unless he combines them because of how short they could possibly be.
We see many things in the same way, but we still have different perspectives. But that's fine with me because it will lead to a lot of interesting discussions with new updates to the story.
The whining about too long time intervals between the updates will shift to the whining about too small updates. I can already hear it: What the fuck, wait 6 weeks for 1 minute of playing time ".
The optional comes into play because you could of dragged Liam home and so the debt never happened and also Sophia has had to make certain choices before hand.
That's why it's not a viable option. IMO, the proper fix would be to cut down on the supporting cast in the novel. Which, in turn, would cut some scenes short and reduce the amount of CS/Renders he needs. As long as he has 79+ characters interacting with Sophia, from one-and-done to LI's and Lust characters, he will have the same amount or more scenes to create. Plus, as an example, he still has the Patricia horse-riding scene, which will be a new location, which means brand new areas to develop, including trail riding or whatever he has planned.
I think we all know he is working from an outline now, at best. He works the scenes artistically for his draft, outline, internal vision (As he removes the superfluous marble from his block to find his Aphrodite inside.). The actual narrative and dialogue follow. It makes no sense for the amount of translation time otherwise. This also allows him the time to make changes as well.
They are from the game of the arch enemy of L&P
Which I think is completely reasonable.
I hope that the story will not be reduced to one main route. The overall narrative is too interesting for me for that.
I am also not too keen on event based updates and I think that it could kill off a lot of chatter about the game,depending on who was in the update.
I did a GW run-through last week and it was totally boring for me, having played the filthy route before, I could see how much got missed out if you just took all the GW decisions. There are some good scenes you miss if you do certain GW options, wait for Dylan to finish showering to use the toilet means you miss a load of options later in the game, have sex with Liam and you miss other good scenes as well, there just doesn't seem to be anything that comes out of playing the Good Wife.
Too early in the GW route but it will get interesting as with everything in this game patience is needed
Well, that would happen in this update for Sophia/Dylan fans if they only follow them. Keep in mind, I'm only talking about Sophia/Dylan, not Dylan/Ellie. A reader would most likely have to wait for a year+ to see Sophia/Dylan again when Aiden and Sam will see her first again after coming off major events. So I would expect complaints.
Sometimes I wonder if he was better off putting his novel in a comic format like Pegasus Smith and Daval. He would probably have an easier time developing the novel.
Doesn't that take away the whole choice part of the VN though? The reason I like this particular VN so much is because we get to choose how far Sophia will go, I don't want her with Sam or Aiden so she wont be, but in comic format she is with everyone if you like it or not. Easier to make sure but easier doen't mean better.
