have you guys considered using the CGs as the bottleneck for releases?
The way I see it, the CGs are basically lagging behind the writing by 3-4 updates or something. The gap doesn't seem to be really increasing, so by holding back content without any CGs for a few releases, we would arrive at a point where any new content released can have CGs in place. The writing would always be ahead of the released updates, but that will just get banked until the CGs are done.
The way it is now, its just very unwieldy for players. We currently need to keep a save for every black screen and wait multiple updates to play again. Sometimes we have to replay it again (and this game is not a simple fast forward to get to current update type of deal).
