I mean, yes and no. Like you said, people complain about an excess of renders, but that's mainly because it meant longer development cycles for the same amount of story progression. But right now we have ~35% less renders compared to the previous update and even less story progression in the same amount of time. That's even worse, lol.
...
You're right, and it's a good point.
I'm just thinking about how L&P would respond to this criticism.
"
First you say I need to cut back on renders, now you say there are not enough!"
I think the point I'm trying to make is we need to be more focused in our criticism.
Animations are a symptom,
Excess Renders are a symptom - the real problem is L&P's inability to stick to his word and develop the game in an efficient & timely manner.
At this point, he doesn't even acknowledge that development speed is a problem. We've all seen the Patreon screenshots, people complain about slow development speed (through the context of unneccessary animations) and the attitude of L&P's response is "Well the animations HAD to go in, what else do you expect me to do?"
Every new factor in delaying the next update is a forgone conclusion, impossible to be avoided or learned from.
Okay.
Lot of negativity there, in the interest of balance - I'm looking forward to the Aiden event, I'm hoping for maybe some under the skirt touching and a fantasy sequence.
