I doubt we will see a major change in the cast of the game and the upcoming events.The updates will continue to come at around same speed.I think if we can keep it 1 and half day per year,that is the best we can get.I appreciate that they're going to address these people who think rendering highly complex scenes is easy and who make wild statements about how they could produce "10-15,000 renders" in the same amount of time ( ), but that's not really the issue here. I'm sure it's an annoyance to them to have these backseat devs say these kinds of things, but the issue is and always has been the amount of story threads and branches they have with seemingly superfluous characters and having so many events per day that they can only do half-day updates every 3-4 months.
If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times: trim...the...fat. Reduce the number of characters and story threads, and reduce the number of events per day. Doing these 2 things will drastically reduce the production time without compromising on quality. Sophia does not need 15+ different characters tempting her into adultery and other sordid pleasures; 6-8 would be more than enough.
Do we really need to see Sophia at her 2nd job? No. Could that just be bypassed by not showing it? Yes. Does she even need a 2nd job? Doesn't seem so. Things like this could be easily cut out and they should be as getting this game down to one full day per update would literally cut the time to completion in half.
I think most people would agree that this game is very high quality in terms of its renders, with great quality environments that create a very realistic feel and all the little micro-expressions on the character's faces give them a lot of life, so I can't imagine that anyone would want that to change. We just don't want to have to still be here in 2028 and the game is still not done.
P.S. Instead of doing a poll for popular characters, they should do a poll on which characters people would happily see gone from this story, excluding Liam, Dylan, Ellie, Patricia, Alyssa, and Sam as these are who I would consider to be the "core" characters.
After all I just remember about another game.We are still waiting for the first update-Apocalust
