Next time you are going to reply, be up to date on the game. You said so yourself, you haven't played in a hot second. Things have changed in the game, hence the reason for my OP. Had you been up to date, you would know that.

If so many people are complaining about a thing or two in the game, or something such as a lack of mod now, then that means there is an issue. Maybe not for you, but for others it is, hence why so many people are mentioning it. It's that simple. For MANY people the built in walkthrough/guide is not done well and needs improvement. I always see someone in every thread telling people to "not complain", things do not improve or get know if people do not voice their opinions. It's called feedback.

What the dev should do is just copy the Walkthrough Mod we used to have, put it in the game, and update it. Problem solved.

Nah

The dev explicitly doesn't want to direct people in every single decision. They have said that their intent with Lighthouse mode is to strike a balance between providing guidance and avoiding transforming it essentially into a kinetic novel (which effectively is what choice-by-choice walkthroughs do). I assure you, if they wanted Lighthouse mode to highlight every optimal choice, they could. But they still want some player autonomy and roleplay even with it on.

So no, not problem solved, because from the dev's perspective it would solve a "problem" in a way they don't want.

Dev Update #314



Hopefully, the last update of that kind. I hope to be able to return to my desk and PC Chan in a few days. Monday, maybe Tuesday. I still can't walk properly, and my two feet are pretty bad, but I managed to take a few steps on crutches, and that could be enough to allow me to go back to work. I can’t wait to go back to my usual schedule. At least I’ll be productive.

Because even if I tried to work from my tablet, I can’t say I’ve been very efficient. I did make some progress on scene 35, and I did write a few thousand words, but they don’t feel right to me, and I’m very tempted to scrap most of it. It’s not easy to write that kind of scene and story while surrounded by family, movement, and noise. I have no doubt that I will be able to progress much faster once I get back to the calm of my office.

The “alternative options” I decided to explore for scene 35 are a failure. I’m not sure I can salvage anything from it. It’s not completely uninteresting, but it really doesn’t fit the mood of the scene, and something feels very wrong. As I said, I will mostly have to scrap everything and restart from scratch.
