I think having a need for hard numbers so early on will only piss you off more. When he gets in the flow of things, down the line, then he might say something. Still very much in the early stages of development still.

Two weeks ago he gave us some numbers, good ones by the way, there is no reason he could share the update number of posed and rendered animations.
Apparently DPС is solely concerned with animation and hasn't even started creating scenes. This is good news, because animations render so fast that he has to create a lot of them and send them to the queue at once.
In fact, animations are the main reason for the long development time. If the animations are really 50% faster and he's not going to artificially slow them down, we could get the game 2 months early.

No, come on. Don't give in just yet!!! Let's at least wait until summer to dream of early releases of the new chapter

I did not say it would come out in the summer.... But to at least wait until summer to dream of an earlier release than the expected 12 months.
hey, Be optimistic :ROFLMAO: maybe this is just a little filler episode, just a weekend, we go home to daddy, with the chosen love interest for " thanksgiving " and a little party for the Diks at sunday.

surely he won't make the xmas episode to the penultimate episode. :unsure::cautious:

2456 renders
157 animations

IF the next ep isn't 11, and is something like Interlude, we could get it around Nov or Dec. Ep 11 will be an 18 month release. Dpc is currently researchin 120fps minigames. :ROFLMAO:

All week was about posing animations and writing. I alternated between them to get some day-to-day variation.

The animations I'm posing right now are not only plenty but also tricky to pose for reasons I won't spoil. I expected these animations to render slower than the others in the render queue. Surprisingly, they render almost 50% faster - making it even harder for me to keep up manually- but I'm hanging in there.
It must be killing him inside.

Regarding writing, I went back to plan the episode more, focusing on a few branches. I'd say that two out of the five major branches have been planned in rough strokes. Another week of similar kind of work is ahead of me.

Guys , You have to understand, that the upcoming Q/A session, is where is mind is right now, he just can't focus on the game.
It is not easy to slip it in his own Questions and write answers for it, without people noticing it.:whistle::ROFLMAO:

I have no idea if the dev is lying or not. I'll just say this one thing, and it applies to every indie dev on here mainly using Patreon as their business/income model. There is no financial incentive to work at a brisk pace. There are no requirements for laying out detailed goals or benchmarks. There isn't any accountability or refunds because no promises or contracts are made. It's why I don't become a patron, I do stuff like Buy A Coffee and that's only if I feel a dev has put out a lot of work and entertained me for a while so they've earned some cash. I'll also not lay out more money than I spent on Baldur's Gate 3 for any of these games.

So yeah, I don't expect segments of this VN to come out faster. If they do, I'll be pleasantly surprised, if the story maintains my interest.
