Sure, it CAN be helped theoretically...like if TD wants to write it that way, he could without breaking the plausibility of the story.
Yeah, ofc i don't think everything is gonna be smooth sailing. Im just writing stuff on top of my mind. We still don't know for sure what happen to darius or what is happening behind the curtains of the club(only a glimpse so far)
Well, the more endings and variations the less fleshed out they'll likely be and/or the longer the development time will be.
'Reasonably' being the key word. Is the option to, say, help Veronica come to terms with losing her gym and getting her in the right headspace to start over a reasonably happy ending if she doesn't win the contest? I think it could be, especially if it can be contrasted with a different ending where a beaten down Veronica becomes Samson's favorite house girl. It will depend both on what TD wants to happen and how he (and GIL, of course!) presents it.
Alternate endings are certainly labor intensive, but I don't think there's a worse place to skimp on dev time than the ending of a choice-based game. It's not only the final impression many players will have, it's the culmination of everything the game was building towards. You gotta stick the landing.
Did you type the word "compressed" into the search bar at the top of the thread?
True, and i hope we get a realistic ending for everybody, but an real ending doesnt has to be a sad, pessimistic or unhappy.
I know you're just trolling, but for the sake of clarity, and to dispel any notion that in fact there may be incest in the game, I'll quote a post by one of the authors themselves. It's a very interesting read, but TL;DR:
Is that so? All I told you was that they never planned for incest scenes with the mom, because the developers don't care for that and don't want it in their game as far as we know. So that wasn't their "original" idea for the game either.
In the Pale Carnation folder. If you set your OS to show the files extension, you will be able to recognize that file easily.

It makes me laugh a little because a lot of what the dev is saying there should just be common sense really, but reasonable takes are for maniacs after all. I'm a very avid harem game enjoyer who generally likes the incest tag and I whole-heartedly agree with their points.
Very much agreed! There's absolutely a space available for meaningful games exploring themes, maybe even expressing an opinion on them. Unfortunately, that's not what most games are trying to do. They are chasing trends, or attempting to maximize profit with popular fetishes - which is fine, but not particularly interesting to me. Incest in particular has seen a lot of popularity in recent years - see the truckload of clips marked as "sex with my sister / stepsister etc" on Pornhub and the like - and that's an interesting fact in itself, but not a fact explored in any meaningful way.
