That's one of the tricky things about being a dev: you already know all the lore and whatnot, but the player isn't caught up with you yet. It can be easy to lose track of things.
As a suggestion, if you don't already, try taking copious amounts of notes. Any idea you have for your game(s), write it down. Even if it's something that ends up not being used. Also, if possible, try to keep things roughly sorted by date to make it easier on yourself to find things later. That way, you're less likely to run into another "what was I thinking 7 months ago when I did this?" again. (There's pros and cons for both physical notes and digital notes.)
Lastly, maybe you could make this version of Between Two Points as a "prototype" version where you are/were trying out various ideas. That way, you can do Lyra's story how you originally intended as a "new" game while this prototype version either just exists as-is or or could maybe get irregularly updated with ideas that don't quite fit into Lyra's main/intended story.

It tends to happen during Episode 3 when things are supposed to be quiet. I played Episode 1 & 2 before the Episode 3 update, but didn't notice it then. The most noticeable one is in the living room in Tarissia (tarissia_living_room.ogg). It kind of sounds like the AC is on full blast.
There are a few other spots where there's kind of a similar constant sound. I'd have to go through Episode 3 again to list the specific scenes.
Are there not any futanari characters yet?
With the option turned on, I've only seen Alexa as a femboy so far.
Futanari have both male and female genitals. It's in its definition. In Japanese, futa means "two" and nari means "figure," which refers to such a person's perceived dual nature.
If a character only has male genitals with no female genitals and looks feminine, then they're either a femboy (girly appearance) or a shemale (womanly appearance).
Really enjoyed the update! Nice big chunk of story!
There's a bug with the main quest. You're able to talk to Sayori on the bridge in the Morning before other main story stuff happens. I was initially super confused thinking I'd forgotten or missed some story, but I had to instead wait until the Afternoon and go to the training grounds first.
Also, did Keiko's affection get reset to 0 at some point? I thought I had more than that from all the events and stuff. Same with Fumiko, hers seems low too.
Yeah, it's very mecha anime / Power Rangers. Unless they're going to be piloting EVAs or Gundams, it kind of doesn't fit with the game. The crew also loses that "ragtag bunch of misfits" vibe with having them all be matchy-matchy. Very few of the crew are into dressing appropriately, so they wouldn't really wear them anyway. With there being so much sexy-fun-times with the MC, it would be a huge pain getting in and out of a skintight latex/vinyl suit.
That being said, they could probably be used as space suits for when in the vacuum of space to do things on the exterior of the ship or something. If they get used, don't worry about redoing old renders, just come up with a believable reason for them in a future patch (their use just needs to make sense in-universe). The suits themselves aren't bad, though my one critique would be that the black parts kind of make them disappear (that might just be that the render is a dark scene though).
In Firefly, they didn't having matching outfits. Same with Star Wars.
The Funkelregen is much in the same vein as the Serenity and the Millennium Falcon.
Well, it is called Corrupted Kingdoms... what if instead of getting mc'd when the player defeats them, they instead get corrupted and are now on the player's team? No mc'ing anyone or anything, just corrupting them. Once corrupted, they just decide on their own to be on the player's team. For the ladies, it could be because of the player's D or some other lewd reasons; for the guys, it could be because of the player's high Charisma or Strength stat. And for some characters like Chloe, the corruption could just cause a split-personality.
This is the best I can think of with the least amount of reworking of things. About as close as I can come up with to just doing a search through all of the dialog (and the coding?) for "mc" and replacing it with "corrupted" / "corruption" / "corrupting" / etc.
I'm really liking the game so far. The story is interesting and engaging.
As for bugs, the only thing that stood out to me were some of the character portraits looking a bit squished (their heads appearing thin and tall). Like on the Aces when launching the game and also in the Main Girls menu.
I'm guessing the images themselves are square, like in the Side Girls menu, but the frames in the Main Girls menu (and the Aces) are rectangle and that's why they're being squished.
Are the characters' hairstyles changing an in-game thing (like the girls doing it themselves) or a redesign thing?
If they're just doing their hair differently in-game, then that's fine. Was expecting Kat to get on the MC for not noticing her doing her hair differently, but it never got mentioned. It's especially weird since Siri mentions Kat copying her with dyed tips, but now it doesn't look the same with vertical stripes.
If their design is getting changed, I liked Olivia and Kat's hairstyles we were introduced with over their second hairstyles. Kat looks like a different person with the second hairstyle. Olivia's looks close enough for it to just look like she brushed it differently, but loses the bit of mystery with her eye uncovered.
Great update, really nice quality animations. It kind of felt like there wasn't much story though.
It feels like the story barely moves forward in Episode 9 because of all the sex scenes.
Can we have fewer (or at least not as often) sex scenes in Episode 10, please?
Having them too frequently kind of gets in the way of the main story.
With how long of a wait it is between updates, I'd prefer more story over more sexy-times (they're nice to have though).
Is there an ETA on when The Kingdom will be added back into the game?
Started a fresh playthrough only to find it missing. I don't want to spend hours playing everything currently available only for it to get added back in later and having to backtrack all that time spent.
(I was wondering why the game suddenly skipped ahead and the MC randomly mentioning getting his android back. Makes sense knowing a chunk of the game is currently missing.)
This is the specific line that causes it:
-----
File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 499, in __call__
renpy.load(fn)
-----
Then when it tries rolling back after that, it's these lines:
-----
File "D:\Users\username\Desktop\Astreon-pc\renpy\rollback.py", line 930, in rollback
self.load_failed()
File "D:\Users\username\Desktop\Astreon-pc\renpy\rollback.py", line 848, in load_failed

Great game so far! Looking forward to girl #4.
Just a note, ACs don't pull in outside air. They recirculate inside air.
Leaving the AC on wouldn't fill any buildings with fog.
Here's how they work:
Yes. When her lips don't grow, it seems like both answers buzz you.
For example, the 2nd one says "another left". The first option was a right, so it can't be another left, but her lips don't grow so she must be telling the truth in which case it should be left. But clicking Left gives a buzz. On the second attempt, clicking right also buzzes.
Trying to make the map from the liar doesn't seem to work. Cannot get an accurate map made.
When her lips grow, I click the opposite and it's correct.
When her lips don't grow, I click what she says but it says it's wrong.
When trying to do the second attempt, selecting the other option on the ones where her lips don't grow is still wrong.
