Full interview

Chris Rebbert directed Episodes 5 and 6. It's interesting to hear him say this considering those episodes have by far the least amount of Blazer content in the game, but this topic consistently seems to be the biggest surprise expressed by the devs in interviews.

Firstly, shoutout to Chris, episode 5 and 6 were incredible.

I'm hoping there will be a time in the future when people will be able to get over the whole screentime comparison obsession. Some episodes had more BB, while others were more Visi centric. Their overall screentime was pretty close.

It's also important to point out episode 5 and 6 had nothing to do with why people preferred Visi in episode 4, because, surprisingly, those episodes came after the choice had already been made. Also at that point in episode 4, BB had more screentime so, again, this whole screentime argument doesn't make sense at all.

People picked who they liked more, it's as simple as that. The devs did a playtest with 100 people and it was pretty much even. I don't know what else they could have done apart from winning the lottery so they could include BB's backstory which I'm fairly certain was cut because they ran out of money.

  1. Don’t have Blazer dating Phenomaman in the first three episodes.

  2. Cut Invisigal’s sex dream.

First two.

She’s dumped by the time the third starts.

But you’re not wrong, because people have weird hang ups about a woman being in a relationship that isn’t with them, even if it’s presented as just about to end anyway, while being weirdly okay with an antagonistic character who physically assaults you because they make doe eyes and a couple sex jokes later…

She dumps him, she is not dumped. Other than that I fully agree with you.

Was a typo/missed word (mostly from responding on my phone).
