Every time I read one of L&P's updates, and he talks about the number of Renders and CS he's creating, One thought that comes to my mind is Quality vs Quantity? Does he believe these actually go hand and hand? Because it seems to me that he believes in order to achieve Quality you need Quantity.
Exactly. Quality over quantity every time. It's like when Lamborghini produce a new supercar and they only make 50 of them because it's about producing a quality vehicle in a lesser quantity, not a lesser quality vehicle in a higher quantity. That's not to say that this is a lesser qualty game because it most certainly isn't, but that it can be just as if not more high quality with far fewer renders.
I agree. But when you read some of Patreon members' comments, They keep saying quality, quality, quality. It seems they think it goes hand to hand as well, but I don't think they fully grasp the concept that Quality is not achieved through Quantity either.
I wonder how many of them are actually aware of just how long this game will take to produce at its current pace and if they would change their tune to know that, as of what we know right now, it could take 12-15 years before we get to the end of Day 30 if each day continues to have as many events and renders as they have at the moment.
On the comments I don't think that the Patrons will go for 1080p.
But would they go for full day updates if it means less renders? Sometimes it seems like they wouldn't and if L&P listens to that then those patrons are also part of the problem.
They had a vote for this a while back and the Patrons decided to stick to a half day update
Hell, just take a look at his open post to all right now, it's pretty much the same with a members-only post. The reoccurring theme is "I'll support you no matter how long it takes." When you see a post like that from his members then it defeats the purpose of trying to point out how long this is going to take.
Yes, I remember that, but I also remember that that was in the context of whether or not they'd prefer content to be drip-fed as and when it's completed, or to have the update delivered as one complete package.
I would like to see a full update every 3 months and if he did reduce the dialog/renders i think that he could do this.
I wonder how much animation is in this update if there is any at all. I would figure there would be some considering the size. If there is animation, I hope it exceeds the Kissing Club scene and shower scene.
And I'm sure you along with myself and Dr.Fapalot would all vote for the 2nd option if L&P did that poll. The question is, would enough patrons vote for that and if it won, would L&P actually listen?
This is why when he started AwAm I thought he was very naive with what he put concerning his goals and game content.He must of realised early on how big this game could get
So have I and many other things
That quality goes hand in hand with quantity is what you say. For me quality is the fastidious work on every single render including everything from the lighting over scene subtleties to the smallest pose and expression detail. The quantity is just a byproduct which emerges by the amount of renders I need to tell a scene!
First of all I needed 4 month for 1300 renders because 1 month is for programming, translation and render editing! During this time I also keep on writing on the story and the dialogues of the scenes!
