I had hoped for an August release as many of us did but I guess an ETA of early September is not too long to wait.
Dam L&P get your shit sorted
He really does need to do something urgently.
Completely and 100% agree with you OD.
To that end, I posted this comment on their recent Patreon update:
As much as I’m sure this update will be as great as all updates have been before, I am very much hoping that the promised lessening of dialogue, and therefore renders, will now be kept.
This is one of my favourite VNs out there and its quality is incredible, but the total number of renders for this half-playable day update is excessive, no matter how you slice it. L&P is a very skilled dev who I’m fully confident could have done this entire playable day in around, or just over, 1000 renders and it would still be of the highest quality and achieved the same result.
Here’s hoping that this will be the case moving forward and I believe L&P can do it if they see their mind to it.
I think it's really important for those of us who are patrons who understand the frustrations that not just we feel, but that those here on this forum feel as well, to make it clear to
Lust&Passion that, as much as we do very much appreciate the hard work that goes into this game to make it as top quality as it is, it really, really,
really doesn't need to have this many renders for a single half-day update.
As fans, well-wishers, and supporters, I feel we have to move L&P to realise that "less is more", that there is no shame in doing this, and that it would not compromise their vision or creativity in any way as they are more than capable of continuing to provide a high-quality game with the same slowburn, meaningful, storytelling and relationship building as they already are with the same amount of renders as this upcoming update, but for one full day and not a half-day.
We're also here to help L&P in this endeavour and they need only ask us. Even if they don't want to enlist other 3D artists, fine, but there are plenty of people who would gladly volunteer their services as proofreaders/script doctors to help them trim some of that fat and streamline the story, as well as translators.
