It's probably that some early game foreshadowing is about to manifest and he needs to make sure that you can't play in a way that skips the foreshadowing, yet has MC acting like it happened.

Maybe we will run into Steve when we visit Neil and those ep 1 choices matter again.
If this is indeed why he feels the need to replay the lot, I think it'll likely more to be in regards to the restaurant closing its doors and continuity issues there as that seems to stretch a great deal over the game...

Could be both. And whole lot of others on top of them. The examples aren't mutually exclusive.

Didn't this mfer make a big deal before last Q&A about doing the minigames code so going forward the rest of S3 he just copy and pastes it? Is he again (shocking) bullshitting the paypigs? :HideThePain:
I'm guessing what he means by that is either getting the minigames of Ep 12 set with new stuff, i.e. new English answers and science test as well as the next party planning and anything else that needs new levels like Brawler, or it's the first hint at a new minigame or minigames for Ep 12.

I don't think he necessarily ruled out no new minigames ever, just that Ep 11 wouldn't have any.

Or it could even be that DPC's written some little things for some characters, like expositional stuff, that he has to make sure he either hasn't revealed before or doesn't change something he wrote before.

It could even be like the case of telling the dude to join chess club, which carried few a few episodes for a laugh.

But I see no reason to play through the entire thing unless you're specifically looking for something you did earlier.
My guess is to make sure his foreshadowing is done properly

Yeah, he really needs to nail the foreshadowing so that you still know what is going on when you get the reveal in the last episode that is gonna be decade away.

Look's like we will have a Valentine's release day.
They'd need to complete the beta testing in less than a week for that to happen, and that ain't gonna happen.

Then he'll be the first to make 2 year old updates the new standard, lol.
Actually everything that's going on in AVN right now with release windows is his fault. It used to be considered normal to release episodes every 2-3 months. Yes, there was Icstor, but it was hated and hated by everyone. Now DPC made it standard to update once a year and most developers followed suit because they saw that he got nothing for it.
If DPC will not do anything for year and a half and two year updates, then all other authors will do the same.
Imagine waiting 2 years for the release of a new chapter of Eternum, lol. Simply because DPC is doing exactly the same thing.
I think it's a bit of a stretch to assume other devs are taking longer with updates just because "DPC does it". Like, are you really saying all these devs are just deliberately going slower, doing nothing half the time, and artificially stretching it out? Because that seems ridiculously pessimistic to me.

Some might be lazy devs, sure, but other games taking a long time have some seriously good quality to them and you can see why it takes so long. They're not doing it because it they want to take a long time, it's happening because the quality they're producing is so high and they have limited hardware capabilities but still want to produce as high a quality as they can.

I like Josy. When she’s on path of that vacuum cleaner and doesn’t get in the way. :LUL:
My only beef with Josy is that she has no story. She was on the waiting list and got in late. That's it. Everything else is her involvement in Maya's story.

That's why I want something to happen to Tommy. There is so much potential in having Tommy hospitalised. Taylor family drama = Josy drama. Heather gets to fuck Nick (or MC) without worrying about Tommy. Vinny is a highly probable guilty party so the drug storyline would have major progress. And on top of that the DIKs need a new vice president which can only be MC.

But you can get that shit from the script, or his dev bible (I'm sure hes said somewhere he has one) you wouldn't need to play it to find it out. At best it's a ctrl + F at worse it an entire read through of the script.

I just get the feeling when he's talking continuity he's talking choices. He needs to ensure the choices and consequences of said choice are consistent and sound over the entire episodes

What if her lack of story is her story? The whole thing with Oscar, I think, was to highlight this. She doesn't know herself, who she is, what she likes, what she can do, what she wants to do, etc. College is about finding yourself and Josy's come in as something of a blank slate, a bit of a high school girl trope of someone who just went through the motions during that time, was probably a bit popular and hung out with an "in crowd", but never really had much individuality and just followed the crowd. Oscar was harsh but made her realise this about herself and so now she's going to try and find out who she is.

Also, there's some clear psychological issues going on, probably related to latent separation anxiety issues to do with her parents divorcing and would explain her need for love, affection, and to be in a relationship. So there's another angle to her story as well.
