Seems like the dev keeps getting stuck with the writing.. I wouldn't be against wrapping this game up and starting a new game with 1 protagonist maybe that would help with the writing problems ?

There are too many loose ends that she's a long way from wrapping it up without it feeling rushed. What she needs to do, in my opinion, is change her writing method because clearly the gardener method isn't working, or should I say, isn't providing expedient results. Maybe if she switched to a more architect method approach, clear roadmaps of development would be in place, and she wouldn't keep banging her head against a wall every time there is a new chapter to write. It would make less sense the further you are along, but considering we are probably halfway to 3/4 in development, it might still be worth it. Also, not caving into the whims to rewriting would probably help as well.

It's definitely a balance with tradeoffs; with a little initial work at the front end, she could speed up work and potentially limit writer's block. This could come at the expense of that initial investment, possibly creativity, and flexibility in storytelling. It is still a valid approach, and many writers do use it. Also, your current avatar just isn't doing it for me; I miss the old one.

Anyone knows why my phone is telling me that the APK is a trojan? Do the apps on the forum get verified? I just want to be sure that it is safe

Those are the best results. And I have been creative. But from a broad-picture stand-point, creating a massively multi-path game - or any game, really - is very, very different from writing a novel or a screenplay (though even in a screenplay, you need to know your limitations both time and budget-wise). Especially as an indie dev with a small staff at best. There are just so many more moving parts in this sort of project that you need to perform a balancing act between optimum creative quality and practical utility. At least if you want to avoid a 3/4 decade-long development time, which runs the risk of a creator burning out and losing passion for the project along the way.

I prefer quality, but I understand the criticism of the gardener approach, which is very difficult for this sort of project.

Agreed on both points. The second more critically important. :unsure:
