This guy is still doing remakes?
I'd just wait if I were you. I mean, if you really want to play you can fuck around and check different paths but we're either getting a full Ch 1 - 10 in June or a Ch 1-11 in late July/early August and you'll have to start over anyway. The saves from the old game won't transfer and there will be some new material (new renders, scenes and dialogue) in Ch 1 - 10 regardless.
Just to be realistic, not throwing shade, the world is chaotic, I would expect late September if I'm being optimistic
Says he's giving himself until June 1 to finish 1-10 - but it's basically done anyway, he's just tinkering at this point I think. You may be right about 11 but it is already begun (there was a teaser for it tagged onto the end of 10) but I don't know how far along it is.
I'll say that the remake was a little much for me, I appreciated the succinct nature of the original. The renders needed improving, but the new is too long.
Quality overload from Neon? Or maybe his dick has a time limit before it shuts off?
No idea, but Neon said that his deadline for finishing the 1-10 integration was June 1, but it would be weird if he finished tinkering a day early and decide that it was ready for release on the same day. Earlier this week he said he hadn't decided whether to release 1-10 at all or just wait until late July and release 1-11. So I'm guessing it's something else (bugfix maybe ... dunno).
I'm pretty sure the new update is chapter two, including the new beginning of it.
The new update is just the interstitial stuff between the new Chapter 1 and 2. It shows how Guy started the charity, why he went abroad, his feelings on Nicki's absence, his return home, shows his relationship with the Chen family, and finally has him arrive at the bar where he'll meet Ashe. Adds 350~ images, and an ero scene with various options which is used to shape Guy's personality moving forward.
