Then you haven't seen the time taken for the story to get to Bangkok, and she isn't even bargirling yet. Put it this way, the 25x dev time is I feel a realistic estimate if you agree he's going to scrap and reset development when it gets tough. So let's get real, and encourage Crush to finish a single linear text based story by 2024 please?That's not how any of this works.
Variables aren't all omnipresent for every aspect of the game, nor are they 1-1 equivalents in terms of work or effort. 1 variable does not equal 1 development time, and 2 variables can require entirely different amounts of development and time to change.
You change 1 variable and only the scenes where it's used are subsequently affected. Neither kinks nor traits are actually used in most of the scene writing, they're pretty much just variable lines in flavor text or extremely select scenes/passages.
Or we could keep throwing ideas and complexity, and MAYBE be at version 1.3x in another 5 years? In the words of Crush, "Great feedback. I like it." Wants vs Needs: I want a branching game with detailed world building and RPG gameplay, but I NEED to know it has an ending because rate of progress has me thinking it's a cash grab which will eventually get abandoned.
We can always add wish list if his progress is too fast. =)
