We all know that Gracie, Cordia, Luna and Isabella are the LIs. Just wanna ask if there are there any more planned or something like that, or this is it?

Main LIs:
- Luna
- Gracie
- Isabel
- Cordia
This is fixed, Hopes said there are no more main LIs.
Side LIs/Side gals (well ones confirmed):
- Eiza
- Siobhan
- Amita
- Amata
- Elektra
Side LIs/Side gals (these LIs are not yet confirmed, but highly likely):
- Caterina
- Onorina
- Lelianna
etc
Side gals list will likely greatly expand with season 2
The game currently has that ? icon you can click next to each mode in the beginning which explains the difference between each (I'd upload screenshots if I could, but the website is being bonkers right now with attaching pics, so it's just not possible given all attachments and upload pics function of the site is broken right now lol).
You can read what each says and decide which to pick.
Personally I prefer Full Experience, but if you're not a fan of text based RPG mechanic, then you may prefer Just Story or VN mode (I have no issues with it given this only has very light sandbox lol).
Though between Just Story and VN mode, I'd probably recommend Just Story slightly more.
Sure, there's still the whole "click to navigate Freeroam" that people may not like.
But even so, VN Mode is missing that Codex section with the lore to read which can be accessed from Full Exp mode and Just Story mode (though I guess this would only matter if you care about reading about game's lore stuff).
Just Story mode probably is a good compromise in between the 2 modes.

A lot of stuff happened IRL for Hopes (the dev) during the past year;
- preparing Season 1 to be ready for Steam (people think it's easy but it isn't easy to find a bank which accept adult visual novel work. So while he eventually solved it, it was initially a bit of a struggle)
- got engaged
1) got his own place with his fiance with his own office space to work on the game now
2) Wedding planning
Previously he was working on this game only part time as a hobby; he only transitioned to Full time after Season 1 got released on Steam (late February).
So dust will need to settle on his IRL matter before he can fully commit to Season 2.
I'm sure he'll let us know when he's ready.

It's fascinating how VNs are named, for example. S1CH1, S1EP1, CH1EP1 etc.
Developers tend to change something in the gameplay when changing S or changing CH.
One thing really bothers me here: When we meet in the entrance hall or in his room, the characters pop up in the foreground instead of standing in the room. In my opinion it's kind of "old school". Although this is not always the case, it is very common. This is only an example.
I wanted to ask if the developer has announced that they want to change anything about the gameplay for S2?

Hopes has stated today in his reply to me that he's gonna let things cool down a bit before returning to this thread for replies. So if you want to ask him a specific question, probably best to wait till he returns.
As for the character in the foreground thing, I didn't really mind them tbh.
It's not like all scenes are that way; for example. that Eiza event "Can I have this?", Wilfred is in MC's room (MC catching Eiza with his gun). That fully portrays Wilfred standing in MC's room.
Another example would be MC watching Luna trying to walk on high heels (and her falling over), and more.
Scenes which are quite important, it is shown to be specifically tailor rendered.
Dialogue scenes which don't matter as much (such as Wilfred delivering a package of wine to MC at his room)?
Characters are at foreground.
I feel game uses the adequate mixup; trying to have them all dedicated renders with those "in the room" renders I'd imagine would require far too much work for very little payoff (especially for scenes that don't really matter).
As for gameplay news, from what I know, Hopes will be keeping the contracts gameplay stuff into season 2.
Also, Lucania town freeroam from season 1 will be enhanced with more content; though I have no idea what they will be.

And you'd be surprised at number of people who actually blamed the game and the dev when their cheat mod screwed up their saves previously when they only have themselves to blame lol

This quoted post below back in November last year has the sneak peek render of Season 2 attached.
However, currently the zone (this site, f95zone), there is an issue with all images and attachments, whether currently uploading or previously uploaded fail to load (actually in terms of previous posts, images come up broken).
So you won't be able to see it until the admins of this website get this issue fixed I think (when that happens, you'll be able to see it).

You'll need to specify what you want to ask, cause I don't follow what you're trying to ask.

What Hopes said before (oh and just to let ya know, HopesGaming is a dude, not a gal; you wrote "herself." Of course there are couple of female devs out there of course, but Hopes is not one of them).

sorry, wrong Google translation. I'm not an English speaker. I already assumed he was male.

Hopes will be revealing MC's importance throughout seasons 2 & 3 gradually, cause he's keeping those cards pretty close to his chest (not surprised, those would be huge spoilers).
And as for his rank and position, well he did say that the MC will have a awakening moment of sort which will kick him out of the "always striving to be underestimated + survival most instinct" till now, and give him motivation to become stronger (probably that s01 cliffhanger ending will play a huge extent, but I'd imagine there are other factors which come into play also).
And he will get stronger and continue to get promoted to higher rank.
As for him swearing the oath (with the Soldato promotion event), and now having its last name (DeLuca), that's basically what every soldier goes through when they get inducted into the Family; hence that's not just unique to MC.
So just enjoy the ride, those questions you have will get answered in time.
