I love this game. And I am very happy for what you've given and done so far. So please don't get upset for what i'm saying either.
Please don't get upset... Don't get upset!?... I am enraged!!
Just kidding...
I was actually talking about this the other day on the Discord with some of the moderators, and we were talking about how patient everyone was being, but especially remarkable, are the folks here at F95, who are not usually known for their patience. So to all of you, I just want to say thank you!
I hate that the update has taken me this long. When everyone is so patient and supportive, I hate to let you all down. I do want to assure you all that I have not been dragging my feet, or being a lazy ass. I literally work on this game every moment I can spare. Unfortunately, it has just taken me this long to get the update to where I feel like it should be for this release.
As an avid fan, and not just developer of adult games, I understand the frustration of having to wait for the release of a game you're really excited about. I try to keep this in mind every day as I work on the update.
The good news:
The biggest bottle neck that holds up my updates more than anything, is the time it takes to render 3d images and animations. To help this bottle neck Xirbeus has very generously volunteered to run my renders. We've tried a number of renders, and Xirbeus has sent them all back looking very good. This will allow me to spend all my time setting up the renders, and not having to wait for each one of them to cook. I anticipate that this will dramatically decrease the time between updates.
Going forward, I'm also going to try and make the updates a bit smaller.
I've also committed myself to be better about keeping everyone informed about where we are in the update process. I've enlisted the help of a few peeps to help me out with this as well.
0.07 is very close, I know it's been very close for a while now, but these last steps always take longer than I think they will. Right now Lapdragon is finishing up with editing the script, and while he's doing that, I'm trying to finish up a few scripting items, as well as doing playtesting, searching for continuity problems, and dividing the script so that an incest patch will no longer be necessary. My goal is to be finished with my end at about the same time it takes Lapdragon to finish editing.
I love the content/images/animations of the new update. I can't wait to get it into all your hands. The future of AFV still looks very good! I love making this game, I'm not feeling burnout, or any desire to rush it to an unsatisfactory conclusion. Thank you all again for your patience. I really hope you'll all enjoy what I've been working on for over 7 months.
