I think these ideas are starting to stray too far and should probably be in a different thread.
V4 was meant to be an end for the edit, and I thought a potential V5 would be some small audio tweaks or visual improvements, not widespread story changes…
This is correct. Ascendant has another update in it, but its ambition is curbed and it deserves to firm up into a final configuration.
That said, I hope there’s another project for these Starlight-type ideas and will support that project materially if I can.
