I like the approach Belle and NTL take where there's a weekly update just to let you know they've not ran off to the Caribbean to become a reggae star, Lazy Monkey goes even further doing a daily update and including a shot from that days renders I mean most of them are people sitting around but VN games that's a lot of the game so you know things are advancing even if it's slow I mean Belle had about a month figuring out particle physics in explosions for ... reasons but you know what's happening and why

for the life of me I do not understand why the Dev did not organize the game in chapters. He could have closed the current game at the current status (= end of Eric) and called in "chaper 1". Chapter 2 would then follow and he could have implemented any design change to the new game he wanted etc, but continue telling the story forward.
It will now take the Dev at his current pace easily 1-2 years to get back to where we already are. Why do we have to relive the intro story again, which is anyway already a carbon copy of the original, story-wise?
Dev might as well rename his new game: "BB, Same Story, 3rd Version"

Good suggestion.
That's the whole point!
Take it easy. You'll upset the die-hard supporters!

Try to ask him on discord
The 'chapter' thing currently is a way to bring games to stores which don't accept "work in progress" products.
But it leaves a very bad impression if they leave storylines open and apart from the Eric arc there is no completed story arc in BIBOAS. And not even the Eric arc is completed on all paths.
Btw, someone said that the two Eric paths will be combined to one in the next version. Of course I can't confirm that. It would certainly reduce the amount of work needed to make Eric fans happy.
Aleksey simply isn't happy with the game in it's current state and also changed the interface, as you can see in the preview pics.
If he doesn't like it, why release it as a "finished" season?

I have followed this game/thread for 2 years now.
In the beginning, I thought, "Oh no, just another copy", because it was a copy. Sure, the addition of new graphics, and given the fact, you now have multiple versions of the same event made it better than the original, but the pace was slow.
Then we reached the "New content" area, and it looked interesting, which way this version was going. For me NTR was something interesting and I wanted to see more of it (not like in the original, where there was a closed door and a comment like "Oh, now he is doing her"). But with the pace going down more and more, and the uprising hate for NTR, the dev started to throw out his "Every path will get the same amount of work/content"-ethic. That's okay....but still I had hope.
Then comes the "Eric must go"-moment, and suddenly all paths would get Lisa back for Max...which is...strange. Not the fact, you could get her back, that was okay, but the way it was done.
"Hey Eric, don't you think Lisa is a little bit too young...like a minor young?" and Eric was like, "oh...oh yeah, you are right, take her, I will fuck your aunt then"...what? Since when was Eric such a "morally" person?
And from there on, I think a lot of the game lost his charm to me.
Now he reworks the code for what? I couldn't find out why he was doing it, what will be the outcome for this?
I think, Aleksy had some ideas, how the story from the original could develop further, but somehow lost his way/spirit.
In the end, we just saw not so much new content...(and mostly for Alice, but let's be true, most BB-Fans wanted to see Lisa-content)
Maybe it would be better to just make 2 paths...make Eric a Foe (No NTR aside from Ann) or play nice (NTR will happen, but can be avoided/delayed) and gather money/information to get him out.
In the end, I still will occasinally look where this version has gone...

Well we now have Big Brother in Space I guess Big Brother Fantasy with Luck Dragons isn't out of the question
First path should be NTR oriented. Either Eric being a Foe (total NTR, no exceptions) and gather money to bribe him so you'll not get kicked out. Or, Eric is a fake friend, then he'll allow you to watch, and maybe some NTR exceptions. The second path would be a cheesy one, without Eric, filled in with a lot of incest.

Maybe that's the actual problem if you bring Eric in its still a retread. It needs to be something completely different to draw people in. The devs of these Big Brother reboots need to think outside the box. (and no I don't mean send them to space)
