To be clear, I'm only planning a one-month hiatus. So, I'll be away, but not for long. But, the goal is to make Chapter 10 kind of a satisfying break point/soft ending. Some things get wrapped up, while some new developments are teased. That's why I kept pushing my hiatus/vacation back - I really wanted to pause things on kind of a cool moment, and I always wanted the events of Chapter 10 to be that moment.

Speaking of soft endings, the big goal for next year is to wrap up Season One, and get it ready for Steam distribution. That means polishing up some rough spots (mostly in Chapters 2 & 3), adding music/SFX, adding better animations, etc. That's a few chapters away. But, the plan is to end things in a place where it's not the end, but it could be an end. Like, if I got hit by a truck after Season One, people could say, "Well, it sucks we never got real closure on some of those plot threads, but what we got is still pretty satisfying."

Please note this isn't an implication that I plan to get hit by a truck, or walk away from the game after Season One's completion. I have every intention of finishing the story as I envisioned it, which likely means another 10-12 chapters for Season Two.

So this mean you 1 month break is gonna be after chapter 10 instead of after the chapter 1 rework? Just curious you deserve the break.

I would say this sounds very good.

Sounds even better, rather then starting a rework for Steam out of the blue like many.

Damn... Japanese authorities should really do something about the problem of distracted track drivers that hit equally distracted walking youngsterts and send them straight to another (fantasy) world.

Japan already has enough problems with the aging of its population.

Maybe when me and Nicki are old the truck driver problem will still be there and we can get hit on purpose and sent to a fantasy world together meet each other and fall in love again before we realized we knew each other from our past life :) , would also bring Risa too cause im greedy and don't want to pick just 1.

Steam is okay with games with rape in them, the big red flag is anyone that might be underage or look underage. The part where it asks you how old some characters are would likely be a huge no-go.

Yep, better have the young LIs be all officially 18. I think the age option has been removed for a while. If i was Neon Ghost i would leave the variable there for modders eventually.

She looks young but not too young to be 18. It could be her 18 and Brittani 19. The other girls are all clearly full adults.

Yes, but there is one reviewer over there who is particularly strict I have seen games with similar looking characters get refused before.

I hope everything works out of course because this game deservers to be played by as many people as possible and I'm being a bit selfish here, but I want this in my library so fucking bad.

Well, there is not so much Gabby content overall. Since reworks will happen NG could rework the model or cut her from the game. Not a big lose.
