"Yes, Miss Samarra, I may have been desperate for money, giving me motivation to kill Truthsayer Merek, but here's two bags of money I suddenly got at the time of his murder to prove my innocence."
While keeping the library afloat is Primrose's main concern, she has a Code (thank you Terry Pratchett). That Code is to follow the rules, and by accepting the money, she broke the rules (she wasn't allowed to let anyone in). The only justification she has for breaking it, was to save the library, even though it's her greatest Shame. So, if she came forward and told Samara what she did and gave the money, Everyone would know she broke her Code (not that anyone would care, but it did in her mind), and even though she'd be free, the money would be gone and she would have broken her Code for nothing. Her self-perceived reputation would be shot (again, even though anyone would understand and not judge her).
Of course it works. There is no proof of when she got the coins, but it credits her story of the old woman, which is further verified by the discovery of the chameleon scales. It is not proof that she is innocent, but it at least pokes holes in Samarra's theory, and provides an alternate theory of the crime, and bolsters the theory provided by the scales alone.
I might buy that, but Dickon is not bound by any code of Primrose's, and should be more than willing to break it, to keep her out of prison.
Okay, so... where are these gold coins you're talking about? You think Primrose will just give them up like that, after I've told you she needs them to save the library at any cost? And you're claiming to do this to help Primrose, you say, yet you're willing to violate her trust in you just like that? Yes, Dickon isn't bound by Primrose's code, but he is bound by his own code, namely no dickish moves. And ratting out Primrose is a complete dickish move. The object of the game is still to get everyone to trust you. The magic doesn't work if they shut you out completely.
Dickon has already broken Primrose's 'code' by giving Samarra this clue: "Primrose gave an old woman access to the library the night of Merek’s murder". There is no getting around that. It is a principle point of the game, without which one cannot proceed. I have actually read the text in that encounter between Dickon and Samarra, where he laid out all the evidence he had discovered. There is no doubt that he told her about the old woman being let into the library. Perhaps you should re-play that scene.
Not really. I've said my opinion. He's said his. I intend to leave it that.To be continued

It's been 8 months of timely releases so far. I don't think there's any reason to expect things to go anything but smoothly.
Since your game is one of the most interesting games to play in (or out of) porn, I don't give a &^%$(#$ if you happen to delay a release a bit. You have given us one of the few porn games where plot really matters. So, while I am anxious to see how everything resolves, I can be patient if dates slip.It's been 8 months of timely releases so far.

Adding on to this. The fact that you've managed 8 months consistency is incredible as I've seen other games where there's been a delay and the Dev hadn't made it clear why there was one.
He did say he works as a game developer outside LLtP as well, so he probably has experience in this sort of thing.
That's (sadly) not accurate. I have game development experience, including professionally, but I don't currently work in that industry.
