How do you want the weekend updates released?

The weekend is a bit different to any of the previous updates, because the Vanessa path is entirely different to the Steph/Ellie paths. The next update will be quite limited on Steph's path (she's had the lion's share of content so far), but Saturday and Sunday will see completely different paths that do not cross for the three girls.

Now this means development can be released in different ways. All of the assets I'll be using for Vanessa's holiday, will not feature anywhere on Steph's/Ellie's path, and rather than changing lightings/locations etc from Island to London to Island to London, I'll be rendering all the scenes on the Island/London, and then all the other scenes on the other. This means I'll be at a point where Steph/Ellie's path (for v.0.12) will be complete, but Vanessa's won't yet have been started, or vice versa. This means I could potentially release smaller updates will full days for some characters, but this would mean some playthroughs would not see any new content for their path.

So do you want:

Option 1 - Full Day Updates.

Complete all the paths, and release them in one complete update as I normally try and do, hold back from releasing one path until the whole day is done.

Pros: Significant content for all players.

Cons: Longer update times.

Option 2 - Path Updates.

Release the London/Island Path when it is done, and then release the other when that is done.

Pros: Quicker updates.

Cons: Updates would feature no content for some LIs.

Either way, the content you get would be the same and the same quality.

It is just if you want it done in one big update where you are guaranteed content, or done in smaller updates where you get updates more frequently, but your LI might not feature.

So basically it is:

Option 1 - Full Day (x number of renders in one update)

Option 2 - 1 Path then the other (1/2 of x renders in one update, 1/2 of x renders in second update. Two update total.) On Saturday, this would go to 1/3 and three updates as Steph will have a full unique path too.

X Renders will be the same total regardless, and total update time will be the same per complete full day with all paths.

Let me know your thoughts.
