Even loyal patrons are jumping ship, and this would be an issue for him if AWAM was the only venture he had going on but it's not.
...I meet people all the time in my life that I never see again. That's still realism
We can bet that we won't see any DLC.Unless he do them way before the end of the game.Not that it matters much, but with the latest 70%-70% the projection is November 27th.
It could be even before that if it starts to get the pace he had at the beginning of August (Nathalie and Dylan's events) and the remaining Sam's event and Cathy's event are not too time consuming for the scene creation.
But who knows, these are mere academic speculations...
December seems still a safe bet
Yes you are right, that's exactly what he said here
We don't know if it will be a family event, from what he says it is centered on Sophia and Patricia.
And, again, without any evidence to support it, it's really hard to see how long or how complex it will be.
It can be a relatively short event (wrt the time span in which it occurs), centered only on Sophia and Patricia and, beside the main event between them, he may quickly gloss over the rest of the trip and move to the next event of the day (which is still unknown). Mutatis mutandis, it could be a sort of Sam concert.
Or as you said it could be a tough one, where even new characters are introduced, new side stories etc. That, on one hand could be interesting because it offers many possibilities, on the other it will take more than one release to finish. And again new characters, new assets.... And/or, like Sam's concert, he could decide to move it to DLC.
Personally, I would more concern about all these DLCs than the ranch event as a sign of loss of interest. We all know that, realistically, these DLCs will never be made, unless he decides to abandon the game and give a final eye candy to the patrons.
Not that I'm against DLC, especially if they could be used to trim side stories and reduce the number of non essential events. And, ***in a ideal world***, DLC could be the perfect way for him to delegate part of the game to someone else. He can "train" someone to get small things done with his quality standard without the pressure of the game main release. And then with time she/he can help him later with the main game. But, obviously, we all know it's not gonna happen.
There are a lot of unknowns and potential trappings in the ranch event. I'm of the opinion that if he does it he needs to commit and do it big. Make it the whole day and get some use out of the new assets and environment. That's what I find so frustrating about the bar for the concert, he spent a lot of time on it but it seems like it will be underutilized.Not that it matters much, but with the latest 70%-70% the projection is November 27th.

when will you update
This was a variable I threw in at the start just to push back the projected completion date because if you look at it, the July progress reports were yielding a release date of mid-September which wasn't in any way realistic. The current chart was a do-over that removes the BS days from every update and is a true reflection of the progress reports shared by Lord_Xanatos and the dates on which they were posted.
Well fuck me, that's good timing... That puts the new projection to 11/23 and total progress to 59.5%.
As far as he has posted he no vacations planned but with the rig he has he should be quicker than this.
The problem is that instead of cutting peripheral characters it sounds like he's cutting content with major LIs in order to hurry them along. This event at the bar is going to tell us a lot about his current state of mind.
So I wonder if he will rush with all the characters or with just the main characters? Or how many of the characters story have been cut down,Vicky/Nat ect without saying anything
It's most likely by email considering how members respond on his Patreon page. I'll have to look again, but I think his next "Planned" vacation/holiday is around May of next year.
He did quote October a while back and I really don't see him hitting that target,spending 2-3 days on Created Scenes and he still has 10% left on the Sam event.
I know he trying for an October release but, unless he is cutting corners like the sex scene with Liam and the Sybian with Alyssa on a four-frame loop, I don't see it happing. 10% and 15% on cs and renders for Sam, so I see Nov. still.
You are right about that and that is why the Cathy event is so important to me for Sophia's further corruption path. That I only give a link to my own post that explains this opinion, I do not do it out of rudeness but out of laziness. I hope you will forgive me.
