Haha, brilliant
Btw, since you mentioned
dalli-x... is he ok? I haven't seen any posts from him for a while... It's terrible.
This is what 1 year releases makes with us. Bitching, memes and jokes around with
Joshy92 for how long it lasts already? 200 or more pages so far?
Even reddit looks more decent at the moment
Even dailli lost interest? Damn, these are dark times.
I wanted to see how much effect it would have on Jill. It didn’t at all. But that may change in future episodes.
See, that's the kind of shit I kind of wish I could see. Not just for Jill but stuff that actually seems to change things to a noticeable degree. Most of the time, the little things just amount to maybe a different scene and some flavor text but ultimately we're just still stuck on that iron-clad plot train.
Although, I think I'm asking for way too much. That would take so much more work and time.
I just don't want to play through a hundred times just to get stuff that feels equivalent to Easter eggs. As in, really fun to see but not really worth going back a few episodes, slogging through all the same free roams/mini-games/scenes, and changing a few choices just to get. It doesn't have to make major changes because that'd be a ridiculous amount of work but I can't remember one of those variations that don't just feel like self-contained scenes with little or no follow up.
Now, I'm back to playing the game again, and my focus next week will be looking into choices, consequences, affinities, and variations of scenes. I'll specifically look into extending and altering scenes that need it and ensuring that variations can be reached based on previous choices. I'll be playing a bit of every branch to cover as much ground as possible with this focus in regard.
That last part actually piqued my interest. If he's saying what I hope he's saying then it'll make choices actually matter to some degree outside of major plot points and LI routes. It'd also explain why we're still looking at such long dev times even before his crazy FPS announcement and after all the excuses we could think of for Ep 9's dev time.
Then again, I feel like he's said this before and it'll just end up being hot air ... again.
Still, if it does turn out to be what I think he's saying then that would make replays a LOT more interesting and probably pull me back on the bandwagon. That would for sure make the world feel a lot more immersive regardless of the railroad of a plot we're riding on.
