Yes, it's all removed for now, there have been no age ups yet. That is still being worked on. He is still saying that all of the scenes with the family will be returned to the game with aged up characters, but I did come across a new message about April.
He may remove her from the game because she was only put in to try and prevent the game from being leaked. With her removed, he can focus the story more on Lauren for those scenes. Her whole story did seem kind of tossed in there with no real plan, so removing her won't make much of a difference. Since Ricoh didn't sound certain on this yet, he may age her up and bring her in later, but that could also be wishful thinking on my part. It wouldn't be the first time he made a change like this. MC's first time with Emily was changed from a quickie in the shower to a nicer, funnier romp in her bed a day or so later. Holly's first night over after she got herself locked out of the orphanage, she woke up with MC's dick between her tits, now we are actually getting to know her before going all out. I think these changes were for the better. It allowed for better development, and was more fun to play. April is still a background character at the orphanage, and I don't think things are done there. She can be brought back, but there is a lot going on that needs to be taken care of first. Katie, Lauren, and Jasmyn need to be settled in the house, Amber and Megan need to be figured out, family secrets need to be revealed... lots of goofy drama.
I am looking forward to it.
