The more I think about it, the more I find it crazy that the only characters we can assume are LI’s are based of a discord post from 2021.
Obviously now we can tell some character's are LI’s (Bella, Nami, Zara, etc.) but I can’t help but think who else can possibly be new LI’s and who may not be LI’s anymore (except the guarantees). As far as I know, all of the girls in the game are LI’s in my imagination

I think one of the possible LI's is the redhead Sasha friend and the black hair girl we see in the bus and pizzeria.The more I think about it, the more I find it crazy that the only characters we can assume are LI’s are based of a discord post from 2021.

I wish for those, but I'd be surprised if anyone who didn't have any significant conversations or scene in Season 1 becomes a LI. I think the best we can hope is some of them will be lewdable. My guess is there will still be Melanie who'll be possible to be romanced for the controversy that would create, Summer if she returns (please no), and Ocean's planned trans character.
Considering there's already too many, based on a single update requiring so many renders for all the extra path content, I'd just hope for more dev time getting the current LI's more content rather than splitting the story into even more paths.

The only thing to keep in mind, is that main girls are Bella, Sasha, Zara, Nia, Nami, Vanessa, Mila, Victoria, Amber, Ms Marla. You can be sure those are set in stone. But they also may be more coming. Ocean said that some LIs have yet to appear.
About Melanie, no way she's a LI. She's the epitome of antagonistic, and it will be her role. She's too psychopathic to interest MC and I don't think she's like Bella, aka "misunderstood".
One of the critic I give him, is that he's often in a “more than you can chew” kind of situation. Having so much LIs, mean custom scenes for each of them, more code, more renders, and not necessarily more gameplay.
Well, you said yourself that Ocean aims for realism when telling this story. And now let's answer the question whether the fact that Nika can only romance people he had the opportunity to get to know better during the first week of his stay at the college where he is to spend several years is realistic?
Personally, I'm counting on three or four so-called wild cards, it means romances to be unlocked much later and only in situations where you have to meet certain conditions by making certain decisions, for example, ignoring all possible romance options that have been revealed so far, it wouldn't make too many paths, but would unlock a few new ones in a situation where the old ones have been closed for a long time.

Hello,
One of the most critical parts of the new update is the ability to transfer your saves to Season 2.
I will soon have to invest more time into coding… I will have to integrate all the functionality of the save porting to the new UI.
My goal for Chapter 1 is to make it work. I will enhance its design over the course of Season 2.
So, in the last log, I mentioned that I’d soon start the scene with Vic and Maja.
And I did. I have a few renders of it already, but it will take some time until I show some previews. Let’s say I want to keep some mystery surrounding the scene alive.
I called it “a scene,” but it’s made of multiple medium-sized scenes.
So, just as with one scene I showcased in today’s previews, I will mostly leave the Vic and Maja scene in the shadows.
Smaller, less significant previews of the scene will follow eventually.
Previews: 4K attached
Shadowy figures.
I will soon visit family for a weekend. Afterward, I’ll go deep into the updates.
I’ve ported Zara to Blender, as the cutie will appear in the upcoming intro cinematic.
I’ll see you in two weeks.

I was thinking Ocean might do the curve ball bad girl for a bad ending, I'm not fussed if she's not there. Also, we've only had her characterised by hearsay (which is probably true), but what if Nika was to meet her without realising who she is?
I'm not thinking about realism so much as pragmatism - there's already too much to render (with what, 12 potential LI's all on different paths?) We're not talking about an ideal situation: I'd love for there to be more options, I just don't think it's feasible while Ocean is deciding that coding alternate clothing renders is important to the story. I agree that there will be more, I just hope for the fewest extra additions.
As far as minimal paths go, Ocean has to render all the paths, regardless of how much content anyone sees in a single playthrough. The greater the number of LI's, the more content he has to render. So you might call it a minimal path, but it's all extra renders slowing down development. Too many late game choices of that nature, although realistic, will delay something that's already ambitious enough.
Edit: oh damn, devlog Robyn
okay, twist my arm with her as a LI ...at least until I get impatient again

Let's underline the important parts
So, base on the dev log update by Ocean he is working on coding right now. Does a late November release sounds reasonable?

You mean two months from now? I don't think so. I think it's coming out late December/early January.

...except he'd be throwing up two seconds later when he remembers it's not Bella.

No, he said he's going to have to start it soon. Also the coding for the saves import is a separate problem from the regular coding that has to be done to stitch all the renders together. The dev log implies that there are still quite a few renders left for that Maja and Vic scene, and Ocean's about to start on the first of the animations.
I wouldn't advise for getting my hopes up just yet, this is not a 'release is around the corner' devlog at all.

I don't think anyone, including Ocean, has ever claimed that realism means a documentary story about a real character. You do realize that this is a fictional story, with fictional characters, situations, and relationships, right? Heck, it even takes place in a fictional city, located in an unknown country, which is probably even not in our universe. Realism here rather means similarity to the real world and the characters' actions explainable within the logic of the fictional reality.
Neither you nor I know what the time frame of the entire story is. Maybe everything will take place withing a month from the college starts, so yeah, it's entirely possible that the only LIs available in that time frame are the ones Nika met in week one. Or maybe you're right, and there will be new characters. We just can't say right now because we don't know the whole story.

I was too focused on Robin, I didn't realize that next to her was Nami
