For the tldr, I have been given an opportunity that I didn't think was going to be possible. Essentially what this boils down to is that I now have the ability to complete virtually every scene that was originally cut from Project Red when I made the transition from 1.0 to 2.0.

Now I never cut anything that I deemed critical to the main path, obviously. But the things that were cut, include; extra dialogue with various npcs, a wide range of R18 scenes with various enemies from the game (if you played much older builds you likely even saw these scenes and noticed their removal.), and some additional branching paths depending on which goddess route you're playing.

So, what's the problem? Why not just add it back in if I can? Because the amount of extra art that would suddenly be required would simply be unfeasible with the current release plans. I do not think it would be possible to keep my word about the game fully releasing this year.

The way I see it, there are a three options before me.

1. Ignore the opportunity, stick with the plan and simply release the game as is.

2. Stick to the plan and release the game as is. Then, post launch, create a DLC expansion that adds back the cut content.

3. Delay the game to add the content back in, and release it as one complete package.

There are pros and cons to each approach, which I talk about in more detail in my devlog. But this is the most basic of basic breakdowns of the situation. I've been thinking about it all day yesterday, and today, and I think it's important that I hear your thoughts before I come to a decision. So I'd like to hear your honest opinions about this.

What would you prefer?

As always, thank you for your time, and your support of Project Red.
