Was that all people hated or were there other parts which he plans to rework ?
I'm by no means a fan of the Amber detective play, wouldn't say i hated it thought, just feels pointless...especialy the second one about the frats.
People hated pretty much the entire Episode. He has already rewritten some of the dialogue that people had especially problems with. But after the positive feedback for Episode 3 he decided to make a revamp of Episode 2 and hoping to get players who gave up on the game to give it a new shot. My guess is that Episode 3 sold much worse than the first 2 episodes because of Episode 2.
This is what they said:
"With Episode 3 out of the way, we thought it'd be good to revisit Episode 2. We're currently working a revamp that will add new core storylines, remove others (such as the Amber detective storyline) and overhaul all existing scenes. We'll be adding a large amount of new scenes and sex scenes with the goal of Episode 2 feeling completely different, much more in line with the College Kings you know and love, and worthy of replaying.
This update will come Summer 2023 and will be free to all existing owners of Episode 2."
I think the problem with the Amber detective storyline was, like you say, that it ends up feeling pointless. It was mostly made as a parody, a joke. But there were some potentials in the gameplay. If it had been a genuin little mystery that intrigued players and had and interesting payout then it could have been really fun.
But apparently they got so many complaints about it that they decided it was unsavable.
He came out with a third episode, a few months ago I think, called "Back 2 Basics" it was the one after the Pool Party. So if you played the update after the pool party you're up to date, if not, maybe another issue *Shrug*
No, the Pool Party was in Episode 2. It's even called "The Pool Party". "Back to Basic" had Nora's Sleepover Party.
