Okay, here's what's happening.
In interacting with Mortze, I realized that, while he likes writing, he loves creating images. We were theoretically working on Finding Miranda and Pandora part II in parallel, but every time I sent him the script for a Miranda scene, he excitedly went off and rendered it, usually pushing the writing of Pandora back. I didn't like the stress that was putting on him, nor the disappointment it was causing in his fans, so I offered to take over the coding and writing of the Pandora games.
Here's what this means.
First: I'm going through Pandora part I and cleaning up the English a little. I'm not changing the story at all, just doing an edit pass on the words. English is Mortze's second language, and it's my first, so it's easy for me to smooth over some rough edges.
Second: When Finding Miranda is done, he and I are going to work exclusively on Pandora part II (modulo patron perks) and not start on the follow on to Miranda until Pandora part II is done.
Third: Pandora is not going to become a Tora Productions game or a "Tlaero and Mortze" game. It's Mortze's game. I'm going to do the programming and write the words, but I'm going to write the story he wants, the way he wants it written. Gameplay mechanics, characterizations of the characters, decisions of who you can an can not have sex with, etc will all be his.
Fourth: After Pandora part II is done, we'll work on the follow on to Miranda.
After that we'll decide case by case what games we do and what "style" they're done in.
