The thing with JL is, there is already plenty assets available on the art side: most heroines (and at last for me conflict with day-versions of Heroines would add so much spice to having them in cell and in bordello) plus we had already visits from Batman and Nightwing. So if basic figurines for Superman, Flash and Green Lantern could be made. And Villains that we have are also underused. So for starter just make random encounter system using existing locations: Lex meets heroine or hero or few of them, they threaten him. Mercy finds them snooping around the tower. Harley does something crazy and lands in prison a now you have to get her out (using existing system). Maybe "greatest detective" starts suspecting this whole cosplay strip club and starts investigating, but Lex uses Lois to run story "Batman visits Bordello".

No need for fancy danger system that was just recently cut out to make things complicated to code, just some illusion of progressing story and threat. Maybe later in game need to develop some new technologies again to protect yourself, since there is not much to spend you money on. And sometime down the road one panel with some fight scene maybe could be made once in a while. But mostly keeping it low effort (art wise) to not divert attention from content that is most important.

Some of the random location stuff would probably need to be done after clicking on the next day button since the overworld most likely wouldn't be expanded on or "Missions" (though these require more clicking). He used to talk about Justice League but I think he was (in the past) more convinced that people were not too interested in Justice League stuff.

Yeah, either on new day or after entering one of the main buildings. There already were events like this. If mission stuff could be tied to this it would be great, because mostly it is dead end, and even early in game whet it was somewhat relevant it never was really fun. But I would be hesitant to try to ask creators to devise new mechanics. Problem with the missions is that Game is not building any goals, that making missions could be used to achieve. After heroines are captured, they never break away, their day-versions or they allies might as well not exist.

I really, really like SU, it is one of my favourites here. But some systems really lack purpose and connection to game as a whole. Even the whole boat event could be more fun if it had some apparent reason, like "information gathering" or "generating publicity" and make them parties not only for baddies. And could be done without drawing single new asset.

Does this mean we may not get this content if the test goes bad? Or will we get the update sooner if the update goes well ?
Who knows. According to the devs, a teaser week is 10 days long and each update has come later and later this year

Bimonthly release din't last very long. With the addition of "release-windows" and what not. We're down to 3-4 updates per year and things only seem to get worse. Hopefully this upcoming one has a decent amount of content to it - If they don't cut it out due to "last minute problems", like they usually do.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind not getting new heriones in an update if it meant that they focused the effort on filling out content for already existing characters who still have incomplete lines or missing scenes.
i think you misunderstood me, im not asking for new heroines, im just asking if the update wont be about one of the heroines, as it has been since the restructure.

And yet Batman didn't figure out something was wrong when all of these women disappear every night? Actually thinking about it, how don't these women just collapse from exhaustion since according to the plot they're never getting any sleep?

I think cloning would still be a shit idea, but it would've made a lot more sense.
Maybe they do sleep unless lex visited them

So say he sees superwoman well everyone else is asleep

How do you get Starfire to strip?
You can't get her yet in her cell. Not done yet.

One way to explain it away would they are only awake for say two hours a day or Lex has special tech that keeps the girls well rested during the actual time they are asleep. That being said I think they would be reacting rather differently if they were only there for two hours a day but what could be happening since he doesn't visit the girls every day, so a couple of weeks in Lex time could be like a 24 hour period. That being said I don't think you're really supposed to think about it but there are ways to explain it away.

Unless I am remembering incorrectly, back when Audrey was "rescued" and then "returned" to Savage by Lex as part of the story/plot for Audrey (after which Savage gave Lex money? If i have it right) we were given a choice to keep the real Audrey or the clone Audrey.
I wonder if that will affect her at all? Even if its only a line or two of dialogue.. (Curious because I always keep the real Audrey, lol)

Yeah so far the choice only changes what Lex says upon picking but it could be quite funny if Lex picks the original he's more nervous about being caught. We shall see if there is a difference, if it is I imagine Savage's Audrey will mention how great she feels.
Please. PLEASE.
Since this update is about Audrey, give us some WW content!
I would try to temper expectations though I expect Audrey's stuff to be done.
