..... I think that's more satisfying than when you make a choice two updates ago that you probably forgot you even made it, and then you just miss content later on.....
Don't worry, there is the chance that in the last update you will found out you have made the wrong decision at the start of the game.
Am I a really nice guy; isn't it?
I remember the good old time at the beginning of Ren'Py games,when we literally have only 3 save slots.
Later they made it a full page of 9 slots,9 pages and now we have infinite amount of save slots.
I get the appeal of an ARG and its use in marketing but having it be the MC of the game metaposting about the game he is from on its pirate forum thread is a little Christoper Nolan's Inception-y, don't you think?
Word on the street is that there's a new Dev Diary out this week and it somehow leaked to F95. I can neither confirm nor deny this rumor, but I do happen to have some updated numbers for my spreadsheets, so we might as well run through them, right? Hang on, what's that over there, far from this post? Is that Felicia in a *very* revealing body suit?! Better check it out!
Oh, never mind, I guess it was just a trick of the light. Weird.
Anyway, new numbers. As you are no doubt hearing here first, TD and GIL completed 206 statics, 13 animations and 5362 words in the 21 days between the latest dev diaries. That's an average of about 69 statics, 4.3 animations and 1790 words per week, give or take a significant figure. That brings the overall average to ~97 statics, 2.7 animations and 2270 words per week since work on Chapter 4 Update 4 began. Here are the charts for Week 22:
As TD would no doubt have noted if we had somehow seen his diary, this is going to be quite a large update. It's also, as of yesterday, had the longest development time so far. The two are obviously linked, though looking at the charts it doesn't seem like volume of art alone is driving the timeline. (It would be interesting to see how the word count for this update compares with the larger updates before TD started reporting that metric, but my guess is it would be a similar ratio to the art numbers.) It could be that the devs have had less time overall to work on the game (holidays can certainly have that effect), but from what TD has said I suspect it has more to do with the update having a lot of moving parts.
Between Felicia's date apparently having multiple ways to approach it and the rising tension at the Club, it makes sense this update would need a lot of planning. The proof will ultimately be in the pudding, of course, but our devs have consistently put out a top notch product, so I'm not concerned by the wait. If they think it's worth this level of detail, they're almost certainly right. What matters is that I'm still looking forward to the release, and would be even if TD hadn't recommended we do so. (Or so I heard. ) There's a lot to look forward to.
It's just a shame they couldn't figure out a way to give us a little Veronica time in the bargain, but such is life. We all have to make sacrifices sometimes.
Well, I can't wait for the upcoming update. I'm sure our favourite devs will favourably impress us as usual with some unexpected but very good turn of events.
Anyway, since our connoisseur bro prompted here black painted nails on Hana's feet, I can't help but fancy and imagine a couple of nice moments between our Edwin hero and 2 of my favourite heroines, namely:
- a scene where Edwin is painting Hana's feet nails on Edwin's apartment couch (black colour, of course);
- a scene where Edwin is painting Mina's feet nails on Mina's bed at her apartment (rose colour, of course).
I'm fantasising a scene where Mina & Hana take it in turns in titfucking Edwin, too. But I guess this is another kind of fantasy.

Reading the consensus on Hana's toenails, I have the urge to be contrarian for its own sake. What if Hana's toenails , hidden away safely inside some badass boots, are where she expresses some of the facets of her personality through a style that doesn't necessarily jibe with the whole tough, punk rock, goth chick that she presents to the world. Maybe her toenails feature sakura blossom nail art with Swarovski crystals on a lovely pink background. A quick search gave me this image.
I'm not a foot guy, so this is just brainstorming, not some hill I'm ready to die on. Visually might be a more interesting than solid black. More challenging to create too, but I'm convinced there's nothing GIL can't bring to life in HS.

A good bit of replayability is baked into there without juggling different saves. I believe that's more satisfying than when you make a choice two updates ago that you probably forgot you even made it, and then you just miss content later on.
