Well, obviously it was a bug, anything else would be weird.The first issue is a bug and has been brought to developers attention about certain characters still calling you the default name.
The second issue is on you, at some point in the update you are asked what you are to her depending on what you choose “Daddy, Dad, Father etc.” That is how she will refer to you.
You must have chosen Father.
I chose Dad so it worked out fine for me.
Also because the games are treated as two standalone experiences, there is no reason why choices from season 1 would carry over to season 2, both stories will have choices with consequences that will remain exclusive to their own.
The overall plot will obviously carry over but there was no choice made in S1 that needed to be referenced in S2.
As for the dad/father thing, I hardly think that's on me. When the question is "you are Bella's..." that would normally mean the relationship between the characters, not what she calls you, whether it's dad or daddy or Joey Buttafucko.
Lol. The problem with your second point is that standalone experience is nothing but a nice name for "I wasn't able to code it so that save games carried over."
No one sets out to tell one consecutive story over several games and INTENTIONALLY makes it so that your decisions in the previous games didn't matter. That's what happens when devs fuck up or realize they never ever offered meaningful choices to begin with and thereby basically reduce the game from the status of a visual to a kinetic novel.
When the same stuff happened with Dragon Age Inquisition, Bioware set up a whole homepage to let players track their decisions from the first two games, so that they would get the experience they wanted.
Obviously I don't expect anything like that from a small indie dev, but I am indeed disappointed when whether I played the previous game or not doesn't matter at all.
