In my opinion, if Lorelei is in a scene, it would automatically involve Calypso. He's probably not about to do something with an unknown elve while there's 8 romances more deserving of a scene, especially considering the last update and his realization.

I'm usually trying to not have any expectation or try to "guess" what Caribdis is cooking up, BUT I think having Lorelei in a scene could be done with Calypso using Lorelei as a proxy or something (like she "shows" her, gives her instructions that kind of thing). Then Calypso starts to get jealous and use a tsundere reason or another ("You're doing it wrong, let me show you how a real princess does it" or something) and then jump in on the fun herself.

That's just my wishful thinking, though.

Basically yes.
No no, you've got a point. That's how most people (including myself) think it's gonna go if Lorelei ends up getting a scene! And, I hope it does go that way! Fingers crossed.

Imagine wanting to waste a scene with Calypso from Temu...
As a man of culture that's just a blasphemous statement.
No lewd scene can be considered as a wasted scene. It's just an added bonus.
I'm sure Caribdis will cook as he always does. If people don't want the Lorelie scene they will definitely have the option to continue with her or reject her. Also they can skip the scene otherwise

That's not really how it works though. Developer resources are limited. A scene with Lorelei means one scene less with a main LI.

That's not how it works either. Cari makes as many scenes as he wants; making a scene with Lorelei does not mean someone else gets one less scene.
He has already said there will be 4 scenes in this update, involving at least 5 LIs. Lorelei might show up in one scene with Calypso, but there's no way she'll have a singular one for herself

Yeah sure...if you don't count development time that is true. But since time is a factor an additional scene would always stretch development time and that time would better be invested in a scene with on of the LIs after all anyway.

Yes he could make 10 scenes per episode, as long as the development time extents to 2+ years per episode. See how it works now?
This is not a zero-sum game. It's not as if he makes a scene for a side character like Lorelei and goes, "Well, I guess I can't make that scene with Luna now!" Scenes are made based on the story for that particular update.

If he wants to make a scene with someone who isn't a LI, then it's part of the story or character development he planned to tell, so it's worth just as much investment as a scene with a LI. I doubt he is going to make a throwaway scene at this point, and even if it was, it would not come at the expense of a more important scene.

He has problems enough to get every LI a scene at least every 2nd update, so I doubt he will - still - waste a scene on another girl that the player knows absolutely nothing about, especially since there are already a few side characters he that a lot of people would also like to see a scene with. In the end he can't do much more than 3-4 scenes per update and he has 8 main LIs already...

We met a couple of minor girls before that Cari could easily as you say organize scenes, that at parties, that on missions and so on and everywhere we met girls, But it's not easy, also don't forget about Maat and Eva, And we got scenes from them...

as Takkatakka said, need to take into account the development time, and this will give even longer developments.
I would rather spend time on main LI than right and left, or on minor characters together with main LI for variety. But it's not just the scenes that are important, but also the plot, to organize similar scenes with secondary

Don't see the Lorelei charm honestly especially in front of Calypso. We're nearing late game, she will need a proper solo scene first to start the romantic development and with how the relationship between her and Orion has likely gotten closer with them saving each other, would be weird to involve a minor character in her scene who just showed up

Yes it is.

Luna didn’t get a scene last update because Nancy/Nova, Annie, Alex, and Dalia did. There are only so many scenes per update, and only so many updates before the game is over. A scene spent on an irrelevant side character means one less scene for one (or more) of the main girls. It is literally a zero-sum game.

Source? Her not getting a scene in the last update doesn't mean she's now going to get one less scene.

A number that is completely up to Cari. He can add or remove as he deems necessary during development.

A scene spent on an irrelevant side character means one less scene for one (or more) of the main girls.
Again, not how it works. There are as many scenes as he wants to include. Adding a few scenes throughout the game with side characters does not take away from the Main LIs. By the time the game is done, every LI will get the number of scenes he wants them to have. It is not a zero-sum game.
