PS:Would love to hear your guys opinion on this since im still pretty out of the loop.
I think a lot is riding on this next update. While I can handle the main plot not moving on until the beach, the two month gap after the extra month delay due to fanfest being inserted, and the seemingly good parts of 0.49 being shuffed around and the original boring parts of 0.50 being moved out of it so 0.50 has events from top tier characters, and seemingly two animations which hint at new sex scenes which means progress, on top of event count hints that Noriko could be getting invite over, and ingame hints that Maya is getting lust grinding. We know Sara is going through something and will have a flashback, Yuki's cancer arc should advance somewhat, Maya gets a date, and Imani is seemingly aware of Akira fucking his students, or at least looking for a smoking gun. The more the update deviates from these hints I fear the worse it'll be.
I was hoping there would be a Niki confrontation based on a throughline from 0.46 and 0.47, but Imani doing the same thing and the update previews looking a little weird for a confrontation are evidence against it. That preview of Yumi's bonus animation is also making me panic, if one of the animations is to modify / add to that bonus animation, it'll permanently ruin using the changelog animation counts as prediction material.
Is that why they never seem to want to move when they are in front of your car?
That's why she played it safe when it came to Sana. "Let's see. My name is nice and normal, so I'll just change one letter and it should still be pretty good."
In an alternate timeline where names didn't have to be alliterative, Shota was Bara instead.
It's not enough that he married Ayane and had a daughter, but he fucked and impregnated his daughter with Ayane?
