Time to get this show on the road, I say. I wouldn't think there'd be too much of a problem transferring whatever work we do now to whatever new structure we create for relaunch. Temp's free to call me on that one. :P
Anyway: everyone, check out the commentary thread here. Siemova and I had a lot of good thoughts, some of which should be included.
There are a few different ways we can tackle Chapter 8, revising to make Ko the younger brother. Each overall plan has some advantages and some disadvantages.
1) Simply switch references to Ko and Kory. This has the advantage of preserving the decision branches that are currently in the chapter (if we even want to do that...). The disadvantage (maybe) is that this requires tweaking a lot of the interactions between the two boys and Brooke, such as why the player is getting to choose the decisions as Ko and so forth.
2) Have the player play Kory until his death. There's still plenty of revision to do, especially since this takes some resposibility from Ko and puts it on Kory. This might have some implications for Ko later on.
There are probably other general solutions as to how to go about revising the chapter, so if anyone has some (I'm lookin' at you, Mystik), now's the time. After that, we can actually get down to discussing and making some changes.
