Norah's hairstyle was my wife's choice, so I should comply with it
There are some hairstyles I don't like to work with, and Norah's is one of them. If I had known then the downsides of it, I wouldn't have shown it to her. But I agree, Norah's one of my favorites for the #2 spot.
The idea is to release Part 1 on Steam. It has been an idea for a long time (almost a year) but I want to do it with some things I don't like in the first chapters fixed (some grainy renders I'm ashamed of, moving the whole Part 1 interface to Part 2 interface, and even adding a gallery that should be added previously to Part 2). It will take time and every free minute I have is spent developing the current update, so I'm always delaying it.
Anthony has made the complete transition, so he won't be an LI (for the MC).
Emma and Cece (I guess you mean the LoF character) share the same model and it's not heavily customized, so visually they are almost identical. Personality wise I can't agree. Even if I didn't finish LoF, what I played showed me a different Cece. Perhaps it's because I didn't finish it.
My right thumb asked my left thumb. Nope, no one in the team follows the black and gold. Why thumbs? Because it's a one-man developer team and I couldn't ask anyone else.
I decided Kate was from Pittsburgh because, when I was designing her and chose her name, my wife told me "overweight and named Kate? Someone will find some parallels with 'This is Us'". So she got a couple of brothers (Randall and Kevin, although neither is adopted or non-caucasian), moved her home from the originally planned Buffalo to Pittsburgh, and I started researching what would localize her even more (the rest of the girls' hometown isn't used yet). I discovered the 'yinz' and some other things (like the rivalry with the Browns, so I moved Kim to Cleveland to be able to insert a joke).
I'm a Spaniard, so my knowledge about American sports is very limited (besides the NBA, which I've been following since the 80s), but I'm an avid researcher.
I wanted to insert the 'yinz' for a while, but not with a shoehorn, so that was a good moment.
