Not a lot more.

I know folks are saying:
"Hey DPC said 20thousand more episodes, and I know he will do it"
No, he won't. He actually can't.

He is already at Max Q on his efforts by doing what he has so far, if he is in fact doing it all solo. I know he has readers and testers and stuff. Unless he hires someone for each branch to do the coding, there is no way to do much more on this game.

By making us select a love interest, we are basically hard coded from 2 basic branches to now 5ish. (No Quinn solo, but there could be something else) *Maya and Josy split could happen* side chick stuff *consequences chapters

So basically, he is going to be going nuts to try and pull together the next mega episode/whatever. Sure, he could stretch out 1 branch per release, but that is tedious in the extreme. He wants to move on to something else anyway, and the longer this drags out, the more he will become drudged into banality. So we are looking at one or two more releases tops. It is simple math guys. He can not do it alone.

So Tybalt will only be an issue for a short time, and only collaterally.

Are you so sure that the girlfriend choice in this episode is going to stick though?

In the one playthru that I did this episode I chose the Sage path, but I'm not to confident about that path. If you look at the pattern of Sage in past episodes it's always been one step forward, one step back. Just think about the pool scene in ep4, then that tender moment in the HOT's back yard ep5, then the break up in six, the rebound guy in seven. This relationship moves back and forth like a pendulum.

With the additional complication of Zoey coming back this could all still be up in the air for several more episodes

This is also what I’m thinking as well cause it’s way too early to gate lock paths in my opinion.

Bro let’s be real he knows the formula now and his next game won’t flop. Lmao he’s made too much anyways for it to
Just suddenly flop. The only way it would flop is from the fans expecting even higher expectations with his next game cause how good and successful this game is.

I think you really need to be real because there are no guarantees in life other than Death and Taxes. His next game can most certainly flop if the story isn't good. The game can also be an even be a bigger success. There are plenty of hyped movies, tv shows, games etc... that have flopped. Take for example Mass Effect Andromeda. The Mass Effect series has huge fanbase and Andromeda was a flop. I am almost forgot Cyberpunk too.

What I an trying to is there a no guarantees in terms of future success. His next game could very well be an award winning game, as it could a huge stinker. Right now, he's making a lot of money with a current success. It's a pretty big risk to leave this early and move on to the next one

So if you choose others at the end of this game is that basically saying that you won’t have any love interests no more and just flings? Cause I feel like that’s kinda dumb especially with there being so much Quinn character development. Also 4 episodes isn’t that many left just cause it takes him awhile to develop them doesn’t mean its not close to finishing. You clearly tell from the end of this second season the game is trying to take you a linear more direct final stretch when it comes or girls. Story wise is up in the open.

Others = I haven't made up my mind yet.

Stop denying the obvious. Those recaps at the end of each chapter are showing you the blatant, self-evident truth.

4 more episodes aren't that many? are you serious?

That is Sage path, it's a "I like you me neither" kind of thing meanwhile Jill path is a romantic movie, story seem to be about how MC and Jill were meant to be there will obviously trouble down the path but it's just to make sur you stick to the story if not you can just do a fast foward and tell the end of the story

Her eyebrows need a trim lol but, does she remind you of her cause of the hair color and hood on? I don't really see it, but everyone is different lol.

Hair color is the factor but you also have to remember that DPC is a fan of Life is Strange and it is one of the games that inspired him to do this.

I don't think I need to 100% copy Chloe or Square Enix comes and takes all the money he has made :ROFLMAO:

it's pretty obvious being with Bella is gonna crash and burn spectacularly, there's literally no way it ends differently. But I'm committed, here to see it to the end

Maya/Josy & sage is 50/50 in terms of a positive ending, Jill is probably gonna be the best possible ending for the MC

I forgot that he was xD He has good taste :3 and yeah, I wouldn't want Square do that either lol I wonder if there's a Max o.o I wasn't really on the lookout for any girls who resembles Max or Chloe... You showed me the Chloe, now where is Max (if there's one)

Renders and animations are great but what I love most is the music ... the acoustic and classical music chosen by the developer is wow...
