Here's what the developer wrote about why everything is so slow.
In Game Development Talk 3, I mentioned that “So if you compare our game to others just by the raw number of H-events,then yes, we have “shockingly few.”But each one is designed to provide dozens of times more interactive playtime than what you'd get from a typical linear event.”
As a simulation game, our approach is to pack as much variation as possible into a single scene. For example, in the living room TV-watching event, we include at least 4–5 different interactive options, such as switching TV channels or engaging in various interactions with the Imouto. These interactions then branch out into dozens of different sub-events. On top of that, we plan to create multiple distinct H-animations for these events (three have already been completed).
But in the end, all of this still counts as just one living room event. And that’s exactly what I meant earlier when I said our game has “an overwhelmingly small number of H-events.”
