I 100% agree that Luna and Penny definitely need scenes to catch up. But while we are kind of thinking from update to update, Cari is focusing on the longer terms. Not looking at how things are at 0.6 or 0.7, but how the game will be once it's completed. My theory is, if each girl has the same amount of scenes in the end (more or less), it's fine from his point of view. And it does not matter to him whether 1 girl was behind very far at one point. This would just mean that for the upcoming part of the game said girl would have above average lewdscenes to catch up.Sure, could be, but Luna and Penny kinda need a scene just to keep up and Nova's also seem pretty certain considering we had sneak peeks showing her all...flustered.
In the end believability and plausibility in a story are kinda more important then "subverting expectations", even if "some" writer might disagree. If something is done just to "subvert expectations" it is just plain crap, most of the time. Could Cari do it anyway? Yes. Could he do it in a way that works well? Probably. Will he do it? I have my doubts.
I don't really remember the exact wording, sorry. However, I don't see a huge difference there. Just imagine, playing 0.7 and we've had a scene with Luna and Penny, and now the date with Nova is scheduled. You are 2 hours in the new update, so maybe half an hour left at best. You think: Okay, let's see what Caribdis made with the Nova scene. But then, suddenly something unexpected happens. For example, Orion traveling servers again without actually playing eternum and saving Calypso from an emergency or a "unique" setup (like the Nova / Maat scene) and you get a scene you never expected to happen. I could see how this would bring great joy to an author, even more considering the troll he is. But it's just a thought I recently had.Did he specifically say lewd scenes? Because I seem to recall that he didn't like how people seem to quickly predict/guess how events are going to go by just looking at the sneaks (like how one of the biggest issues of modern movie trailers is that they quickly give away the most important moments of the story), hence why he changed how the sneaks work this time around (that is, more sneak posts but with less image count each and even more vague shots with no context to keep people guessing).
