I know you haven’t come to that point in development as yet but a mistake made in the original game was that the Olivia content was split from the Lisa GF path so a lot of players missed out on the original Olivia content, I’d suggest keeping both of these paths together and not diverging too much, even if you choose the Lisa GF path logically she would still be friends with Olivia right?
I've already thought about leaving both versions of the story with Olivia, but this will require a good change in one of the options. One way or another, it will come to this.
Will there be any animation?
There will be animation. You will be able to see it through viewing cameras. Another animation with max and Kira has been worked out, but so far I haven't found a place where it can be applied.

I enjoyed all 3 paths (with two sub-paths) in the old BB. Aleksey90 can focus on one path first and eventually add the others later. If Aleksey90 doesn't, we'll miss part of the story. If you have often played old BB, you need 2 days to finish the way as Lisa girlfriend. A day for Olivia girlfriend path and a day for Lisa war path (jewelry).

That's actually a bad idea. That could cause the different paths to divert too much. If you focus on one path, you run the risk of making that your main path (like what happened in the original BB), and it will be too hard to get the other paths back on the same track. Then you'll only have two options, either you go a completely different path (which means more development time), or you abbandon it completely (which is what DS did for several paths). But if you run all paths at the same time, it's easier to control where they end so they don't interfere too much with the rest of the story.

Almost all events could be used for all paths. Only some had to be recreated. So it is not that much work. I think that on the Olivia path, Max will have sex with Lisa faster than on the Lisa girlfriend path.
See? That's why it's a bad idea. All paths should lead from point A to point B. If Max has sex with Lisa on the Olivia path before he has sex with her on the GF path, it's no longer point B you end up at. Point B (in this case) should be sex with Lisa alone, so if you set it up that both paths lead to that, it's all good (ie use the same event for both paths). Then you can continue with the GF path and the Olivia path to point C. But if you rush one path, those events at the stop points will change and will be different, meaning more dev time.
I know, that was one of the reasons why I thought it was a shame that path was abandonned. But what's your point?
Again, if things move faster on one path than on another, the chances the same events will be able to be used for both paths becomes smaller. So, either one path becomes the main path and has more content, until the other gets abandonned, or both get equal content, but takes more dev time because the events can't run similar anymore and have to be custom made.

I look at the different paths like a new game that shows different options of the same story. On the Lisa girlfriend path, Lisa also becomes friends with Olivia later on. So you could use the same pictures, only the text had to be changed. So I don't see the necessity to run the story parallel. You can even end one path and start with the other one afterwards. All other events Alice, Ann and so on could be taken over without any changes.
