Oh since I’m here, did he actually ever give a reason for why eve was completely rewritten and overhauled? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a character in a game like this just get completely retconned like this. It’s a rather drastic choice
Not that I'm aware in detail but, in the early stages of the game, when all of the main girls were designed, there was not much more than "constructive chaos". DC simply created a bunch of different characters to fill the game without a real idea where each of their stories would go in detail and that pretty much continued for quite some time. Sploosh joined the team for 0.14.3 (as far as I remember it) and only then they actually really started to care about the big picture and that's when everything started to become a bit more nuanced.
I'd indeed say that Odette kinda replaced the old Eve, while they probably felt that the new Eve was indeed the "schoolgirl" that was still missing.
But all of this is just me saying stuff...
Edit: In recent times Sploosh joins the streams from time to time, so somebody could ask and I'm pretty sure he'd get an answer.
