There are 19 animations left in the queue. 5 of the remaining animations are more demanding than the rest.
The overall speed feels good. At this rate, beta testing can start in early December, usually lasting for a couple of weeks.
Mid to late December is looking good for a release, but nothing is set in stone until beta testing and proofreading start.
If you want to see a teaser from episode 9, you can download the attachment of this post.
It's nothing too spoilery, and I believe it should give you some excitement for what's to come.
Have a nice weekend
