I agree with you the game is over-full with characters and storylines.

But to play Devil's advocate for a minute, he has almost definitely cut scenes out of the game to reduce development time.

There were definitely supposed to be more scene/scenes with Ivan the Mover by now, why else would he explain on day 1 that he does Handyman work just a few scenes before we're told that the master bathroom lock is broken - but then we just get a scene where Liam has fixed it while Sophia was out.

Also the pacing of the Bennett storyline feels way off. Their first out of school meeting is an introduction, second he lays his cards out and third is the deadline for her to give it up - no way that's how it was originally planned

I'm an L&P critic don't get me wrong, but I still think the slowing development is a result of pride, poor planning and a controlling nature as opposed to out and out manipulation or fraud.

There's no doubt that his artwork is what keeps his novel afloat right now. And I'll even say some parts of his story aren't bad at all. IMO, Ellie and Sophia's (with some Patricia scenes) arc is currently good but could use some work. There were some parts in the story that may me go, huh? But it wasn't bad as it had a chronological sequence to it, and it made some sense due to the 30 PD he has to develop their relationship.

On the other hand, Sophia and Dylan need work ASAP. That story is terrible right now. And I don't even want to talk about the second side job and how it went from 0-80MPH in 2 seconds or 2 PDs. I don't even know what his thought process was on that.

That's why it's all about Sam. I woulda thought this anyway though, I'm a fan of the milf thing but not so much the mom-actual son dynamic.

I can totally agree with the last paragraph.

One can be amused at both parties here. About the supporters and their seemingly boundless trust. The critics will say - "Just look at the sheep" (That includes me - also such a sheep). And you can be amused at the critics, who will surely bite their toenails off in frustration in the face of such numbers.

I see this more frequent releases maneuver and searching of new dev as just one way for him to steal month or two yearly of general development progress...
He needs to cut down on story paths and characters, and cut down on useless renders, and that is only way to speed up development.

I just wanted to remind about my post from month and half ago... but I think I was optimistic by the look of things...

I had the feeling that more was meant to happen at the bar rock night & there was even mention of a possible DLC. Given the setting & potential for 'mayhem', plus the most inappropriate outfit that Sophia has so far worn, it might be just as well, IMO, that it passed by fairly tamely.

There was more, L&P confirmed it. It will be part of a future DLC, whenever that is made.

2000never?
want to make money?
could make a contest among supporters:
let them do a dlc and then he chooses the best one and insert it into the game


it would also be a good excuse to delay the game again: hey i'm evaluating the 10,000 dlc i got :ROFLMAO:

Even when he is actively looking there aren't decent artists to help him with his project fulltime let alone such contests. They will be nothing but waste of time.

Anyways he has openly said to mail him if the person can make scenes on the level of the bar performance and the art class. No one is stopping that.
