> Skimmed through these comments, and also the original game's, trying to figure out the difference between the two. Am I wrong to assume that the reason this remake doesn't include the last chapters of the original, is that at some point they both were being developed at the same time?
They were developed at the same time, originally I went through and added a few events to earlier chapters where I thought they'd fit (and tidied up a bunch of the code to make it easier to work on).
Some people (myself included) felt the ending was a little rushed and lack luster - I removed the last few chapters with the intention of rewriting them with a more satisfying conclusion - but never succeeded.
This is built on top of (and a near complete re-write code wise of) the latest version publish by Orion.
> The original game lacks a changelog from chap.5 onward - and there seem to be 10 chapters in total? It also includes some extra tags such as futa/trans. Does this mean such content was added later to their project and didn't make it into this one, or that it was removed for some reason?
I don't think I removed that scene? But I might have.
> "lots of threads that didn't really tie together" were either cut or never made it here, and does that make it worth playing both as different games?
They're both pretty short - I'd play the original first.
I think mine has more events - in total? but covers less time.
