You know that by looking at the early reviews.
There were monthly updates for the first 1-2 years, but even then, 5 years were expected until the game was completed.
In addition, the developer announced that one day, by when, the game would be completed, but in my memory it was 2023, four years later.
The developer recently again said they would have the game complete in 2 years, but currently it has taken 2 years per PD1 and you will have to wait for update 4 to see the scenes this evening.
You have to wait a year to see the whole evening scene, not the whole day.
Even if the developer keeps his word, it's already 8 years.
But at this way, it won't end forever.

I bet I know what it is. He only posted it a dozen times in less than a month in several different threads. It's like his gif folder has this one image with multiple filenames. It's why he is...

I agree with the general theory that the Animator might just be L&P pulling double duty, but to play Devil's Advocate for a moment -
You do all know that the Development Progress graphs on patreon aren't actual loading bars right?
It's just a static PNG that L&P generates from a template on their computer, then logs into Patreon, deletes the old PNG and uploads the new one.
I doubt that L&P would have taken the time to share the graphic template with the animator, teach them how to modify it then share the logon details for the Patreon page - just so the animator can update the animations graph independently.
No.
If there is an actual animator (and again that's a medium sized IF) then they'd have some kind of system where the animator checks in to say "Yes, I've made progress" or "No, I've not made progress" everytime L&P goes to update the graph template.
someone smack him on the head, he could not just see how stupid and annoying he is. Keeping the same rythm? Consistent? OMFG, who is this author? is he some mentally disabled dude? What the fuck is wrong with him?

I lost my phone and my save files.
I want to start the game (part 2) without any save file by using questionnare. How many paths can I get in part 2?
Help me out please.
I think you can go with all path! just change final save.

I mean sure, I'd hope that most people realize it's a PNG L&P has to update manually.
Considering the part of my previous post you quoted here, I'm assuming you're implying that there's a possibility of L&P simply not updating the animation bars when he himself doesn't make much progress on CS+RS, for example. While this could explain some things in theory, it really doesn't solve most of the question marks behind all this.
One example being how animations only get an abysmal 5% increase over the span of a week (at the end of said week) when L&P was working on his "in-between specials", which doesn't make sense if they work independent from eachother. Another one would be the fact that his animation bar is moving so inconsistently, which doesn't make much sense either as render times for an animation don't suddenly go from (example) 10% a day, down to 5% in a week.
We are more than 2 months into the current development cycle, and according to L&P, he had prepared everything for his "animations helper" weeks prior to the first progress made, and so there shouldn't be anything left but rendering animations, which even that alone doesn't take much more than a day at most with L&P's rigs. With that in mind, the inconsistent progress on that front makes absolutely zero sense UNLESS L&P is the one doing the animations, working on them whenever he feels like it's time to catch up with the rest. An animator wouldn't still work on the posing 2 months in when we're talking about a couple second long ~25fps animation(s), especially not when everything was already prepared and set up way ahead of time.
Another thing about his progress bars though, and I'm taking it slightly further here, is that they are pretty much meaningless anyway. They are a guesstimate at best, and a complete hoax at worst. When L&P gives a rough estimate for the amount of renders in his next update (this time it was "maybe 300-400"), it's just that. An estimate. Based on that, the progress bars simply cannot be accurate as he himself doesn't know how many renders the update is gonna have in the end, and so it would be more like; "Uhh..I think I'm about halfway there, so let's put the CS+RS bar at 50%". The animations though are the complete opposite. He apparently prepared everything for his "helper" and knows exactly how many animations he will end up with. Partly because, you know, he'd have to pay for them if there's someone creating them.
And so, as always, nothing really makes sense with this guy.
Cheers!
I'm wondering how many years it will take to finish this game. I mean I really like this game but the frequency and amount of updates makes me sad.

Currently 2+ years for a single PD, and 17.4 PD's to go. ~35 years give or take. With every PD taking more development time than the previous one, it's only a matter of time until we hit a century.I'm wondering how many years it will take to finish this game. I mean I really like this game but the frequency and amount of updates makes me sad.
Main problem or complaint is L&P don't know himself when and how he's gonna finish this gameI'm wondering how many years it will take to finish this game. I mean I really like this game but the frequency and amount of updates makes me sad.

But you know, this is not as big of an issue compared to catching rats.
