Well, being a dik is a exception to most games out here on F95, for one single reason. DPC already made the major storyboard from the beginning to the end. Nearly 99% of the other games around here doesnt have ANY storyboard, and especially not from start to end. DPC already said more than once that he has several endings figured out and such... only the road to that end and which thigns happen at which point are not clear... and of course, DPC has several new ideas along the way he is adding to the game.
So "running" out of ideas or such is not an issue... on the contrary. Last episodes showed us, DPC cant hold back in adding more and more stuff he didnt planned beforehand.
The major thing iam afraid of, he might get burned out at some point... he was already a little close to that after episode 8, and decided to make the interlude just to do something different. But he has overcome that so far, and i think too that he overworked his workshedule to work a little bit "healthier" on the game.
That the game will turn out into a harem game? No way, DPC doesnt like those one bit. To get mabye one more than 1 girl at the same time (like josy and maya) is the "most" harem you will get. Maybe the MC can get a one time thing with more that two girls like a foursome at some point with some of the not so important sidegirls, but thats about it and would rule out any other love route i guess...
So i wouldnt worry that DPC will run out of ideas, or something like that... he has figured pretty much every major thing out already until the end, and knows for what he is aiming for, he even said the number of episodes we can expect (16 in total plus the interlude). The only question is, will he be motivated that long until the game is completed? My gut feeling for now tells me, yes he will. But i think that the developoment time will increase too if he cant hold back a little in making unnecessary stuff. It would be no problem to tell the whole game with episode including about 3000 renders i guess. Look at episode 4, 5 or 6... they are pretty big but hasnt neraly that many renders like ep 9 did. He can do that, but decided to add more and more details into his renders, doestn recycle anymore, and is making ALOT more animations. Cause he love doing such things.
So, overall, until the game will be complete, we have to wait at least another 5 years i guess, thats the only issue, and the only thing to worry about, will he stay motivated for the next 5 years like he is now? So far it seems so, but you cant never know for sure. But running out of ideas? I dont think so.
