Okay, not an update, but an important milestone: I just passed 200,000 words! 
(Thatās including code; excluding code, which I can count now with CSIDE, itās only about 170,000. 
And, of course, the average playthrough length is still only about 60,000 words.)
I do have a question for people though: This is the final chapter; do you think I should release it a bit at a time (e.g. 1st part of 1st path, 1st part of 2nd path, 1st part of 3rd path, 2nd part of 1st path, etc.), followed by the various epilogues, or just wait until Iāve finished everything before uploading it?
Whoops, sorry for the late reply, but so far, yes, itās only for the date day. (There may be more later. ;P)

Depends on you really, do you want @TSSL (sadly I donāt think anyone else and certainly not little old me can match his beta tester prowess 
) to go through everything at once or do you want a steady drip of feedback as you go along?

Yup. For Lani, you have to have a high darkness, and donāt just do whatever she tells you.
I had 23 darkness at the end

Thatās not exactly short 
if it were a standalone story itād be somewhere in the region of a really long novella or a shortish novel. And youāve still got more to go. Plus replayability. Wooooooooooooooo 
Hmm 
I think Iād say this depends on how much revising you think youād do of the earlier segments after finishing them. (Aside from feedback-based revision, naturally 
) Like, if youād be releasing a chunk, and then overhauling it, and then a new chunk, it might make more sense to release it all in one go, rather than having testers go over a draft thatās likely to undergo substantial alteration between updates. But if youāre like to release sections that are already fairly drafted, then maybe it would make sense to put them out separately
Aw, Iām just tuned to looking at the micro detail level of stuff and then sometimes I lose sight of the bigger pictures. It takes lots of tester viewpoints to spot different kinds of thingsā¦ including stuff like what makes sense for different characters
And hey, you got Phil in as a romance option

That should be enough; you may have to be more aggressive to her earlier on.
That depends on your definition of ābadā.

Campaigning for male romance options in games around here is something many of us in the forumās gay community share. @ParrotWatcher himself is usually the most fervent campaigner, though weāre not always successful, unfortunately some cute guys remain horribly, tragically straight.

So after playing a couple of different paths in the story, I have to say that I really enjoyed playing the demo of this game. The writing is pretty solid in my opinion and of course thereās some pretty interesting twists thrown in there too. Keep up the great work.

Noticed something else, if we try to shoot down the helicopter, we get told its out of range, despite the laser ābeing able to hit the moon,ā even as an exaggeration that is still jarring.

Now youāre just trying to be difficult.

Obviously we will need to shoot at a target actually on the Moon in the finale, right? 
Or maybe failing that can we at least shoot a satellite out of the sky?

Nah; Iāve already amended the text to say that while the range may be essentially infinite, itās only effective within about 30 feet. (Does 30 feet sound about right? Iām not very good at estimating these thingsā¦)

Itās kinda short for laser if you ask me

Yeah, but I have to make it short enough that it canāt hit the helicopterā¦

Hmmmmā¦ depends on how tall the helicopter flying, it shouldnāt that close if the helicopter flying normally BUT we talking about helicopter that hunt mc and his/her/their friends with guns(with bullet that possibly expensive). So I guess I can see why you make the laser effective at that range if the helicopter is so close that mc can feel the wind come from helicopter.
