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.
you guys clearly never have been creative if its evas wirtting style or if she has the most fun writting this way than the end resulte is the best this way keep in mind we talk about a CREATIVE JOB you cant bring logic or working as fast as possible to get the maximum money per hour it dosent work this way in a creative job the best result are if the artist has the most fun and is passionate about their work so if evas writting style is like that and she has the most fun this way this will be the best resulte you can get

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:

I wonder if Jordan Peterson has any idea his image is being used in a porn game, haha!
"Well, see, as a world-class linguist I have to say it depends on what you mean by 'image.' Do you mean the smallest unit of meaningful animation? In that case, what would 'well' have meant in the beginning of my response just now? And by 'any idea' do you mean just a knowledge of something or are there any underpinnings of having 'any idea' in a hierarchical sense? Because hierarchies change the context of the question being asked to less of a casual, optional answer into more of a demand, even if it's unintentional, due to power structures. And that's because these, let's say, power structures have been around since time immemorial. Lobsters have power structures. But you know what social construct they didn't have? Infanticide. And I can confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt, since I'm a fully-credentialed marine biologist because I've been going to the aquarium and studying the animals there for 40 years, that lobsters have no rules about infanticide. In fact, if we go back further in evolutionary history, which I can speak to as an evolutionary biologist, we see that many species, in fact, had no gender roles and no particular role at all in the life of offspring. This was before trees and lobsters, so it must be hardwired into our brains to not care for our young and have no distinguishable gender roles. But if we're going by the most numerous animals on earth, we have to at least look to ants to figure out how we should structure gender in society. One queen who flies around, mates, and pumps out babies until she does while a harem of men provide her with a huge mansion and are at her beck and call. But wouldn't that be discrimination based on gender? Not if you're a cultural Marxist. That's just the type of matriarchal society they want. I know this because I, myself, am a professor of feminist studies. So, in answer to your question, I don't think that we should allow pineapples on pizza unless the top is the hearty meat because we can't have sweetness represented as the topmost layer, as sweetness is often permissiveness and is therefore chaos. We must temper this with order, which is the meaty part of the ham"
