Plenty people know. There isn't one.nobody knows?
Where you got the notion from that Elaine knows Dizzy and has met her? Could you explain please, cos i may have missed something? As far as i know she had no clue the dad had an affair until his death. I so hope it's not Lily, although i don't pursue her. So far she's portrait as this sweet, naive but good girl and It'll be just sad and bad if she turns out to be this viscous greedy bitch, trying to pursue father's money.Just caught up with the last few episodes. My thoughts on this are that the MC's father was the father of Dogboy, but that Theresa is not Dizzy. [It sure expains why Dogboy is so fucked up!] We need to remember that Dizzy is someone that Elaine knows or has met. Theresa makes no sense there. So who does?
We have been given strong hints about Angel, Jolina and Lily being Dizzy. I think we can eliminate Angel because I don't see how Elaine would have ever run into her. Of course, I could be wrong. I do think it's perfectly logical that Elaine could have met either Jolina or Lily at one time or another. Lily is my prime suspect, due to her parents both being prominent people - doctors. Nor would the father ever see past her dizzy facade. It would also explain why Elaine would be so upset to find out about her as the other will recipient. By the way, don't take this as my being anti-Lily in any way. In fact I picked her as my 2nd favorite girl, behind Katie.
Actually, it might still be none of the above. I believe we can assuredly eliminate Debbie (lesbian), Jenna and Katie (both virgins). But that's about it. [Wouldn't it be hilarious if it turned out to be Nikki or Molly - refugees from My Sister, My Roommate?]
This is definitely the truth. It went from once a month into once every 6 weeks but larger update into once a random timeline. I wonder how much of it is preventable and how much of it is just bad luck. I wonder if scaling back down a bit would improve the production or not. I worry if the production issue is caused by biting bigger and bigger and bigger than what they can chew.but the production of this game has become troubled.
This is from the father's voice on the tape in Episode 9:Where you got the notion from that Elaine knows Dizzy and has met her? Could you explain please, cos i may have missed something?

The bane of every developer is trying to cram too many paths into one game. There are limits to what can be accomplished in a game. I don't mind waiting, as the developers plow through these issues, as long as they are able to provide a satisfying finished project.This is definitely the truth.

I think my worry is that there's nobody that seems to be filling the editor role in this game development. So if the delay is caused by larger and larger update, there might be nobody who would tone it down to reach more reasonable size/time of update instead. This game already has the advantage of having no set limit. Cheeky mentioned 25 episodes, but honestly, it means nothing because each episode can be different size/length (unlike let's say a 30-minute TV show where each episode is a set 22-24 minutes long). So there is no need to cram everything into 25 episodes in this game. It doesn't matter whether it's episode 25 or episode 35 if they finished the production at the same time.The bane of every developer is trying to cram too many paths into one game.

I just use the wheel to scroll back on choices and go with the ones that show positive reactions. It's worked so far...nobody knows?
This also indicated that Elaine may go all Lorena Bobbitt on the MC if he cheats on her.And as for the two gold-diggers, if they knew I was worth that much, they probably would have killed me themselves! Although if Elaine had found out about the other gold-digger, she would have murdered me even if I was broke!
This is exactly what it means - not the Elaine knew the girl, just that she would've kicked his ass just for cheating on her.And as for the two gold-diggers, if they knew I was worth that much, they probably would have killed me themselves!

Elaine would have been homicidal just to find out that the father was cheating on her with anyone. Elaine is awfully upset after she discovers it, after his death.

Interesting to see what people think the problem is from an outside perspective. Well the good news from my pov is that while you guys are right that the game is a freaking bear because of all the branching and choices, we haven't really allowed that to slow down development. It really just makes me and Cheeky work harder with the writing/story development and keeping everything straight. This puts us in something of a league of our own with impactful choices/player interactivity though, which is what we want, but we have both have agreed we probably will cut back on the branching in our next game whenever that happens. As Cheeky has been saying the writing/story is generally on task but we can't deny there were definitely growing pains during EP17 with the new crew, all of us learning new things, updating our models (which is still ongoing), and world events both good and bad.I think my worry is that there's nobody that seems to be filling the editor role in this game development.

But on the flip side, this freedom could cause a lot of bloat content, and that's where an editor would fit right in. As much as I love this game from the very early beginning, I kind of feel like the last 3 or so updates have been really heavy. There's a lot of added dialogue that doesn't really add into the game as much that some part feels a bit of a slog to go through. Using the latest update, the date with Lily at the library is unnecessarily too long. As much as I love Lily as one of my favorites, there's around 25-30 dialogue choices in my one playthrough just for that library scene. And that's just the Lily part of the update. I feel like episode 1 and 2 combined might not even have a total of 30 dialogue choices. That's how large the game has become and that's why I'm worried that the game has become too big to reasonably develop. We need someone who can ask "How do we convey the same feel for the date with Lily with less than 25-30 dialogue choices?". Cutting out some dialogue choices sounds reasonable for one scene, and if you multiply that to many scenes in the game, then suddenly you're looking at a much leaner episode once the bloat is trimmed out.
As a player, waiting is fine. The worry is the developers getting burned out because the scope of their work has become unmanageable due to constant increase of the size.
CONGRATULATIONS to Cheeky for thisThere is a little Cheeky Jr. now!
Very reassuring words to someone who doesn't care how long he has to wait for a quality product.Interesting to see what people think the problem is from an outside perspective.

As for editing Cheeky handles the majority of that and it definitely can bog him down, but ironically the Lily scene Cheeky did entirely himself. So it came out pretty much exactly how he wanted I figure. About the only director edits he wishes for Ep17 I can think of was the girl choice while waiting for Elaine, as it caused more confusion than he intended. lol We also could have went a bit lighter on the image count here and there, but that was my own personal growing pain.
EP18 isn't coming along as fast as we'd like (nothing comparable to EP17 so don't panic too much) but as usually if we don't make the progress we set for ourselves, our patreons get to skip a month of payment even though work does carry on.
Now with that dose of meh, there is some great news. There is a little Cheeky Jr. now! No doubt the apple of his daddy's eye and the bane of his nose when it comes time for changing.
Different chicks for different dicks!I dont get it why people dont like jenna.... i mean personally shes my pick when it comes to the best girl....like shes smart, innocent but dangerous, and of course hot
