Having endings that doesn't necessarily have meaning for the sequel is actually a -good- thing, if it means you have more endings.

There's nothing better than getting an ending based on what happened in the game, and the choices you made,
even if those choices aren't taken to account in the sequel.
Few games let player-choice move from game to game (:o imagine the crazy branching stories the writers must make!) , though when it happens?
It's an awesome thing to behold, loved that about the Mass Effect games (and to some extent Dragon Age 1 - 3)

...But ya ^^ Agree it'd be silly if Loren wasn't around for Loren 2

It's kind of unfortunate that you dismiss them so freely, given that they were what made Loren's story stand out from many other games at the time. Granted, it doesn't make as much sense for a sequel (depending on your choice), but even still, there was room in some of them for "other adventures" before Loren passed on (like when playing as Elenor and sacrificing Karen).

Even though the new guy in the expansion ended up with a happier ending for everyone, I really didn't like the way it was written. Felt pretty cheesy and completely cheapened the Chapter 4 experience.

Well, what should I do then?
I said you can forget about those, related to sequels. But at the time of making the game I thought were good too. But either I don't make anymore sequels to games reusing same characters (which is actually a good idea, and after Loren2 and PS2 probably I will!) or I shouldn't write the endings, since then I would need to change them again in the sequel

So... How's the progress?? If u need somebody to translate the game to another language.. i can help.

Still behind, and no thanks, already finishing it in ONE language (English) is hard

Hey, I don't want to push you, but is there any date you could tell us? I really can't wait for this!
I loved the first one way too much xD
Keep up the awesome work!!!
(Sorry in case the release was already announced and I just missed it, but I was not able to find any any information regarding it)

No release date. For sure, not this year. Maybe not even next one, sorry

Haha I know I know! Will take some time but when it's out will be good

It is REALLY painful to write this post, but...

From a fan point of view, I prefer a game to be high quality rather than to come out soon.

So... Keep on with the good job, Jack!
