After having finished Chapter 3 and looking more closely at the followup, I realized that there were a whole lot of work and rendering hours needed for Chapter 4.
And because of the amount of work that would go into every girl - having the choice to romance them at roughly at the same time in the story - it would be hard to give a decent story feel to an update if I went by the normal day-by-day update, and therefor decided to go by a girl-by-girl update instead.
The most natural question as a reader I would imagine is: 'Should I play it now, or wait until all the parts are done?'
I have put a lot of work into making this chapter evolve as the different parts are released. That means part two and three will even add to existing scenes and dialogues will be expanded and tweaked. For this part I have intentionally held back parts of the story itself to give you added bits and pieces if you come back and read for the two last parts.
The 'sudden jump' to the end of this update leave a huge spot for me to fill, and the intro scenes to the final romancing with both Cece and Stephanie isn't just made to create a certain feel, they are meant to have an element of uncertainty - ie, that things are not 100% sure to turn out well - even though in this update they are pretty much smooth sailing.
So, if you are still on the fence on whether to play through this update or not, it's really up to you.
But for me, holding back an update for 5 months would be near dev suicide. But more importantly, causing you to loose touch with the main characters in the story - almost forgetting who they are - was not something I wanted to do.
