Well we are going back years here!Now we just have to wait and see how all this works out
July 2018
Two years ago estimated finish time for this game was 2-3 years.I think I will divide them in two parts again (0.055 and 0.06). But I'm not sure now. It depends on how long I'll need for the first half of the events of the day. Generally it's very difficult to tell in advance how long the next update will be. Last update I wanted to have less than 100 renders but at the end there have been 200. So, I'm just developing the scenes and make them as long as necessary. But to bring out updates quicker they can't be very long. 0.055 will have the Dylan and Ellie scene (and also some other very small events). 0.06 would deal with other characters.
Actually the last update didn't have one new character! And new characters doesn't mean huge storylines with them. They just can be important for one special scene later.
I definitely won't need 10 years for it! But it'd definitely need at least 2-3 more years to finish it. It's very difficult to say now but I'm already trying my best to reduce render quantity and make it more efficient.
On reducing the number of renders:

Again, I actually quite like this game and I understand delivering it is not easy. Something in how it gets made has to change and I mean really change because every update ends up being larger/more complex than expected and that results in it taking longer.1) I'm already trying to use less renders. Last update had "only" 377 renders for a whole playable day! Next playable day will maybe have not even 100 renders, to speed it up. And there are also other provider than MEGA. I think till it reaches 5 GB it will take some while!
