He's opening a door he's going to regret passing through...

At the moment, the assumption is that Kate is some sort of NATSEC ivy-leaguer and that works dramatically as every beat of the plot thus-far has been about the realities of intelligence work and what you have to do to get the intel.

However, if you allow for the fact that Kate is more of a marginal figure who played in bands, did drugs, and slept with jerks for all the wrong reasons then you remove a lot of the tension from the plot you have. 'I have to suck this guy's dick for my job?' is less shocking than 'I have to suck the dick of a guy I don't really like for reasons of fitting in and I haven't done that type of thing since I was a teenager'

Which is why he's gonna spend all of next year at the least rewriting all of the Thailand content to account for that, before realizing it's all too convoluted and scrap it all and reboot again

Hi guys! ☕ Short report this week, because we’re mostly working on behind-the-scenes stuff at the moment.

Our illustrator lovely Victoria is busy working on new art. In addition to all the avatar improvements, the new episode has a large number of wardrobe requirements.

For example: in the next episode, a few scenes are set in high school. This is where you set the heroine’s high school clique – alpha female, athlete, geek girl, or rock chick. (These will individualise the heroine’s backstory, unlock new dialogue options with NPCs later, and also now have a game mechanics effect, e.g. athletes get the Amazon perk, giving them +1 to all Physical and Firearms skill checks.) Of course, because the Lifepath now supports five different nationalities, we need five different school uniform looks, so lovely V had to draw five times the assets for this scene.

Meanwhile, I’ve been working mainly on scene edits, cutting bloat and adding in new flavour text variations and dialogue options. TLDR; we’re working hard on the next episode!
Didn't "Our illustrator lovely Victoria" already created all those unique uniforms way back during original lifepath? One that did include all five nations (unlike Lifepath 2.0) we had a bit later on after original version was scrapped?

I would like to make a bet if I had any courage to make it, but I know I would lose.

I believe that not before 11/28/24 (one year since the last update) that we will not have a new update and if we get it right, we will pay a month of sponsorship just to highlight that there are people who have the same time and less staff , only 1 person, games like SpaceBourne 2 are released.


And I would lose because I would take it out just to gain that membership.

I don't understand giving your money to people like this. Is he even still working on it? Or is he just having someone else do art for it? Blue Swallow was made in a fraction of the time it took for this chyoa pamphlet to flounder. This is ridiculous no matter how you squeeze it.
