Rendered scenes & created scenes are both at 80%. It's slow but it's progress.

In USA you have to be 21 to drink in a bar (unless he has fake id). You can be in a bar under 21 just can’t be served, maybe Sophia buys a pitcher or a bottle to take backstage with himOr Sam, after the concert, is going to get drunk with his friends since it's in a bar.
Sophia will then take him home and during the trip, Sam will have wandering hands and say nonsense

No, there will be also touching arms and massaging shoulders! I hope you're thrilled to bits now!

Wow, sorry i did t catch your post earlier. I really do think L&P is just winging it, in terms of searching for the right pose, the right angle, doing tons and tons of tests before making a decision. Not the right approach. Should know what they are going for before even booting up the ol DAZ3d.

Its viper6 we are talking about here and he is never happy.
I guess the pygmy will be a happy chap then?
I actually am
It's a third of a day now, not half. A third of a day each 5 months, for now.

That you still have a sense of humor at this point is a welcoming, positive sign. A little whimsy is a good thing.
Absolutely just winging it.
Even in terms of story, not just the renders, hence why I've been saying that he needs someone to assist him according to his needs for the next update. The chances of that happening are near 0 which begs the question: why is he so adamant in not accepting help (that does not include any of the rendering + assets) ?

You know something, I never even considered the possibility that L&P is producing potentially hundreds of extra renders that get cut. That would explain why he says that he has already cut all of the unnecessary scenes possible. I mean, I don't agree with him, but if he's cutting hundreds of images then he could have an unconscious bias that everything that could be cut has been cut.
It's still really terrible project management.

Is this for real or are you joking? Don't put my expectations too high.
*A little joke. Fan of the game here.
Regarding patron, theres some people asking about the timeline of the updates. Some likes on those comments too so I guess people are waking up a bit.
L&P says in his patron page:
The only chance to speed things up is to give some of the events to a stranger dev to develop, which I don't know, and have to trust him/her parts of my story!
I don't know why he thinks that that is the only way to speed up and make his life easier.. There's several sugestions we've given that doesn't involve giving render liberties to someone else.

Ah so sadly at this point its almost guaranteed this game will be abandoned in the near future, we're now looking at 26+ years...

We're trying...
I would happily take his rough script for the next update and shape it for them. Problem is, I don't think there is such a thing. I think there's a rough outline from which L&P boots up DAZ3d and goes, then fills in the script later. This is not a healthy approach IMHO, it's completely backwards. Should know what the characters are going to say and think and do, then compose and shoot. I am perfectly happy to be wrong on this point but I don't think there's much actual evidence to the contrary.
Right, right! L&P is very likely cutting the results of one or more hours of fussing about with 3d models and poses and props and lighting and cameras over and over again. Just sketch out what you need, evaluate the sketches, then build and shoot.
I fully understand (having my own fair share of failings in many different endeavors) that changing one's approach is difficult and disorienting. I do appreciate that my opinions don't count for shit, too. But maybe, just maybe, pulling out the ol' Dixon Tigonderoga #2 and a sheaf of blank paper and spending a day or two planning things out, and then sticking to that plan, could save DAYS of wasted trial and error.

The museum date is Saturday playable day 14, the horse-riding event is Sunday playable day 15.
And Ellie has "several" events on playable day 16. Although Jules hasn't sucked Sophia's nipples, only licked the top of her chest.

No the question is why are you so adamant that he work with someone else? It's his project. If he wants to complete it all by himself that's his choice. He's not required to get another person just because you think he needs to.

I do see the point he is making. Maybe his choice of words isn't the best.
Everyone here is unhappy with the development cycle and the only way to improve it is to get some more people on the project. His project is currently huge and generally projects of this size can't be efficiently managed by one person.
Just like a when a sole proprietor's biz expands he needs to diversify authority to keep things functioning smoothly and efficiently.
Plus L&P also wants to make a game of the highest quality, he will need help now to keep things on track and to organize the entire work

Yes, L&P would find incredible benefit from getting the right kind of assistance. Whatever that may be. Only L&P truly knows what kind of hell is his reality. IMO, Alone, The layers of complications will just suck all of L&P's time and energy. I truly want L&P to be successful.
We all got opinions and that is good. Where I am coming from is being most concerned about going down the wrong rabbit holes that distract from the intent. Fine tuning is "ok" in my book if time is managed properly. If it is a fail, learn something. Is it because of a lacking skill that could be improved upon? Are you making the same mistakes again? Organization? Pick the top 1-3 things to do better next time and keep moving forward.
I could be totally wrong here, but I sense some perfectionism in L&P's style. Perfectionists can be wildly successful. It is always a self negotiation and endless judgement calls on their part. It is like wielding a double edge sword while being blind in one eye. Have to be ultra focused and very methodical. One thing at a time. Doing too many things at once or being too ambitious will get you killed by what you don't see. Having a team mate at minimum to discuss challenges is invaluable. It watches the blind side so they can do what they do so well.
