When the game reaches 5k, how will getting out all the new girls be handled? My only concern with eight new girls is that there will be a long time where there's no or few events for the current girls. So I'm wondering if there will be a balance between putting out the new girls and doing events for the old girls or if the focus will be on rolling out new girls for some updates and then after that the old ones will be getting more events again?
I think the way the Molly/Tsuneyo update rolled out was extremely smooth so I'm planning on replicating that in a slightly smaller scale (Given that 0.7.0 had 4 weeks of time put into it and all current updates are on 2 weeks of time.)
If you didn't play during the initial release of 0.7.0, half of the update was basically a main story chain that all of the girls were involved with that went over actually bringing Molly and Tsuneyo into the class before their room and events were unlocked, creating the second half of the update.
As such, each new dorm will have its own small main story chain that existing characters will get involved with, but subsequent events will be specific to the girls in the room.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly how many updates it will take to get them all entirely implemented, but if I feel like certain girls are getting left behind, they will be prioritized.
The next several updates are already planned out, though, so I think I'll be in a good spot when it's time to start bringing in the new ones.
