I understand that its DARK!... yes - grape even in fiction is uncomfortable... but it felt like LISA was legitimately in danger - the stakes got high and made me realize that she was not safe in a big city of Renshire. Plus, the renders, expressions and lighting in those scenes were brilliant. But i also understand that it was risqué. I just hope we get something similar where we really feel like she is in danger and stakes are high. But it has to happen directly to her and not indirectly like example - she goes through shitty things for someone else...
Like timescale? Umm, not really xD There's next months patch, that'll be released toward the end of December. Wee Christmas or NY pressie then there's the final version of that patch in the month after, maybe Feb THEN DS Ch is following that. I think a reasonable and realistic expectation is that all of JP will be finished in the first half of next year because I will be working on Episode 3 content alongside it
Maybe. I think I'll probably poll it at some point, maybe later next year whether he returns or not when the sting of JP is a little healed ^_^ (I think probably very few want to see him again right now because he's directly associated with the whole JP debacle)
And I want Luca x Lisa to be a slow burn but really hot... like he's younger and therefore a bit inexperienced and Lisa is there to teach him.... maybe something like that.... up to you...
And if there's a breakup between Lisa and Danny then, I wanna see Danny go 360 and turn into a cigarette smoking tattooed mother fucked with a beard stubble... but hey, again... drive your story the way you want....
That's pretty much exactly what happens mate. Danny "grows up" a little after JP, he grows out his stubble regardless of route but for those that separated with Danny, they will see a much different side to his personality later (OPTIONAL BTW FOR ANYONE CONCERNED xD)

This is exactly right. I had a lengthy chat with TheLecher about this very issue in that without the threat of this kind of terrible thing happening, it really takes a lot of the danger or the edge out of many circumstances in the game.
I could talk for days about how dangerous and claustrophobic Life gets for Lisa and those around her but to sum it up; I'm still confidant in portraying those feelings in the player as we get closer to the real core of the story even without the threat of sexual assault. There are some very dark choices ahead that I suppose lean on the edge of dubcon quite heavily, featuring characters like Duncan and Riggs so hopefully all isn't lost for those interested in grittier content <3
I am picturing Riggs to be the runner of a stripclub in RLD where LISA has to go undercover with the help of the Detective and there, some serious shit can happen. Maybe Luca could be there also as he just turned 21 and he is there with his friends to enjoy their fist taste of hard liquor and then SHIT GOES DOWN!!! and maybe that scene ends with Luca saving Lisa.... maybe... just spitballing...
One of the things that makes this game great is how good the photo compositions are and how well the lighting is used. Photography should be one of the first things anyone who makes a game like this should learn.
