The problem ist: The Kate-Story is more or less finished since she found Iris. They need to create a completely new story for her. Don't get me wrong, I think Kate is a much more interesting character than Max (although I loved the Big Brother-game)... but Max is more or less in the middle of something whereas Kate seems to be in some kind of a dead end.
That is also the reason why I don't mind if it takes some time for the Kate-Story to continue. Sure, Dark Silver could release some content for her with the very first idea that comes to his mind. But isn't it better to wait for a VERY good idea that offers a lot of opportunities for further updates?
I strongly disagree!
What about the club? What about the plans to use Kate to corrupt and sway other students in college to prepare them for work in the club? How about Julia's gym and mob? Can Kate help Julia deal with them? What about Fedor? is he involved with the mob? What would be a price of his help? There is also neighbor! Will Kate meet him? Now that cameras are off in the villa Kate lost her income. What can she do to earn some money?
Things above are only examples of things that are already open! There is no need to come up with any new story arcs for Kate, just continue ones that are already started and UNFINISHED!
For me Max's story should concentrate on the villa and convincing Ann to turn cameras on again (right now, later he can even go and build his own porn empire and cooperate with college). His involvement in college would be limited to a support role (I kind of like the idea of pills making girls horny and Karen using Max to influence girls) while Kate stays main character in college. Lisa in college is ok, but she should play there similar role to Alice: supporting character.
