As for the future, I'm thinking of trimming down the process or asking for more help, because the process now is criminally manpower-heavy; and as someone who does this on their own and who is still busy with other duties in their life, I do not want another update taking this long anymore.
I wonder how difficult it is to find help, actually? I don't want to glaze you too much, but your renders are insanely beautiful - for better or worse, because I'm sure that's one reason the gaps between updates are this large. As for the writing, I cannot imagine how you could be helped in that area either. So.. is it the coding and music?

Would love to see more of the game. I still use the "I'll always be on your side" wallpaper on my laptop, by the way. :)

I think I will need to trim down my work flow anyway, so getting help in theory shouldn't be too hard, since I mostly need help with setting up the initial scene (without even the lighting or camera angles): basically poses and whatnot. That's the majority of the development process. I also have to put the renders into the actual games and then run a quick test to see whether there's any clipping that I missed during editing and post-processing, if there is then it's going back into the studio to edit.

I can't stand the gaps especially when the updates themselves are not that big, personally - though I know that I can't humanly do it any quicker, hence the idea of getting help. If I can somehow get help with setting up the scenes, then it's a quicker flow since while I'm getting help on scene B, I'm post-processing scene A; then when I'm done with scene A, I'd be post-processing scene B while scene C is being worked on.

Coding can sometimes can labor-heavy if I have to edit some UI elements, but otherwise, it's almost always the choices (creating the choices in Photoshop, testing them out, etc.). Music is the same boat, but at least it is fun and not monotonous like coding. Recently, we added animations to the game as well; so that accounts for some more time, but at least with animation, I know I can get help.

All in all, I'm sure if I can get the knot of rendering solved - we should be able to move, more or less, faster!

Ps: Thank you so much! I adore that piece also, was about to change the banner on my Discord profile; but never had the heart to change it, and it stayed that way for more than year already :ROFLMAO:

These processes are very interesting to me. When it's two people from the get go, it's easier to imagine them working together on a project such as these games, but with a story like Cyberheart, I picture it being difficult to capture an established style / order. I hope everything is going to work out on your end, though! Sadly, I don't possess any of these skills (yet).

It's my favorite piece by you! The other one that comes to mind is the ass jiggle animation I think I saw in the F95 discord **a while** ago.

I used to change my wallpapers every other day. This one stuck, though. :)

It's all good! I'm sure plenty of awesome renderers are out there and are kind enough to help me out. Namely, I have Mei as a friend and as someone I just described. We will see!

Thanks so much again!
