well I guess the older one will never be completed, right?
Pre 0.50 stories are basically the same as this one minus the prologue and the newly added adventurer couple/duo.
On one hand I'll have to give my props to Techno for making the story more cohesive and not jumbling around like before (albeit still not great). But on the other I feel like to continue the story like this until the very last part would be quite challenging, tying up all the stories and characters together is not the characteristic of a game made by Technobrake, maybe he outsourced storywriting to a third party and that's why there's such a drastic change to the plot.
All in all, I wouldn't hold my breath for a picture perfect Nympri by the end of this year. But I'm glad he's finally canning the fucking story already after all these years as well as the players waiting for the game. I know he's probably sick to his cock and balls with Nympri and can't wait to start another project.
Best of luck Mr. Techno, I know you lurk this thread you horny bastard.
