So this is an official Statement then that this update is last one for Chapter 1? If so horrible ending to say the least. Not good idea at all.No milking, we decided months ago (it was January I think) that ch.1 would have ended the way it has ended, with a sad note and a game-changing event.
Strongly disagree and how exactly is he going about to making sure Dad gets to daughter? Some magical carpet trick? Find hard to believe to do this and still have strong focus on Daughter and father if the daughter is in a new country. Are you saying somehow the dad manages to pull some miracle out of the blue?Chapter 2 will bring MANY novelties (but d and f will remain the central focus obviously). Some of these novelties might be hard to get used to (even though some will "last" only a couple of updates), but they were necessities plot-wise, so I give mrdots the guts to stay honest to his vision. We'll see hot it goes, but be it as it may, this is NOT a last-minute change to milk patrons since DMD is having so much success.
So what you are saying is you ended the main focus of the game to go back and "Fix" things in the Chapter and then add a mechanic that isn't even remotely useful in any way possible? The whole job thing doesn't fit in unless you started implementing that from the start which you obviously failed. So now you changed the focus from doing main game mechanics to something that is not needed at all? I am perfectly fine without a job mechanic and I am sure most patreon's would agree too. Especially if it means you ended progress to the main plot.As for the new job routes, a general revision of the previous episodes was badly needed, doing this at the end of chapter 1 just seemed to make sense, so to be able to publish a "finished official version" of chapter 1 as a somewhat stand-alone feature. Adding some additional content to the previous days is a good plus (we planned to do it much time earlier, but patrons voted in a poll to postpone this till the end of chapter 1's storyline).
Also this statement here you put kinda goes against the statement previously stated further up in quote. So you say you are working on touching up Chapter 1 but somehow you are doing Chapter 2 content? I seeing some major holes in this method of game development.
