Progress Update - Episode 16? - Info + Poll

Hey everyone,

First of all. Thank you so very much for all the support. We hope you've enjoyed episode 15!

It is almost time to start working on the next episode? for Intertwined. We're not sure yet if we're gonna call it episode 16 or go with something like 15.5 since it's not gonna be like a regular episode. Let me explain.
First of all, it's gonna be a short episode. It will only focus on ending the blackmail plot. One scene. The continuation of the garage scene and the immediate aftermath. That's it.
There won't be any progress with the relationships. Because the blackmail plot has been rewritten to be able to end now, a lot has been scrapped. All previous characters who were "involved" won't be involved anymore. So no Erynn, Alexis, Melissa, Valeria,... It will only be the characters who are present at the garage. This is the easiest way to end it and be done with it, so we can concentrate on the things that most players are looking forward to, the relationships and all the drama surrounding them. Once the blackmail plot has ended, there probably won't be much, if any, mention of it in the future. Maybe something small to wrap it up completely. Especially on the Erynn route. This might not be the most exciting update, but that's also why we want to keep this short. Even though the blackmail plot will be kept short, and a lot of the surrounding plot has been scrapped, there's still plenty of stuff to come. Some routes haven't even started yet. So, don't worry about it.

Regarding preview pictures... We try our best to present some previews, but of course, we can't post too many since any picture can spoil the whole update. We probably will combine it with the remake renders for episode 5.

The remake of episode 5 will also be worked on alongside the new episode. Since episode 5 is also very small, this works out great. Episode 5 won't get new scenes. Some scenes will get a few more renders and a slight script change, but nothing major.

Work on the new update will start sometime next week, and I will try to keep you informed every one or two weeks if I don't forget again, as I did yesterday.

Now on to something new. We want to make several polls to gather some information on what you think about certain things in the game. The polls and results are purely informative. We just want to know what you think about certain choices, scenes and so on, mainly for future projects.

Poll #1:
If you could choose. Who would you want Emily to end up with?
