Since it's hand-drawn and has only been about 6 months or so, I'd say it will be a bit yet before the update is ready. Quality like this always takes awhile, but Worlaix has consistently remained dedicated to the game, as far as I've ever seen.

This update seems to be taking awhile. While I understand the balancing of real life and development, where obviously real life takes priority, and factoring the nature of this product of being a product of passion and so wanting to get it perfect and the charming hand drawn style which would take longer. I think it be good for a more regular show of update/progress, maybe even as increasing increment of percentile. This game is amazing, it's just the lengthy radio silence grows fears of abandonment with it. Just a thought or concern.

Nah, I haven't seen anything to suggest that it won't be completed. It just will take quite awhile yet.

Its one of my all time favorites. Which makes it worse that I really don't expect this to have much life left unfortunately.

You do realize the Dev draws the entire game. By hand. Right? Yes, real life takes priority. But it also takes a while to draw everything by hand, enter it into the computer, and then render what needs rendered. Plus, adding on top of that, writing everything out.

unfortunately you can't run projects like this just on passion, cuz it runs out rather quickly. But also you can't get a sustainable amount of supporters with the lack of the updates, so let's hope that at least it will be a pleasurable hobby

Yeah, but it's absolutely understandable that the time in the updates would be considerable. As Talmadge points out, this is all done by hand. I know a lot of folks unfortunately now will assume AI or something because folks can make the appearance (somewhat) of hand-drawn renders with technology, but you can tell the difference, IMO it's definitely worth it, and short turnaround cycles should not be expected.

AI art is garbage mostly, I'm totally agree with his approach I'm just worried for the project cuz there are so many GOOD works are being dropped cuz the devs just burnt out, I'm creating a VN myself and I know it's not an easy task especially when you must share your time with many other needs.

I thought that too, but tbh these days I can't differentiate between real and fake if I don't stare at it for a good minute or two

A good way to tell if it is AI or not is the hands. AI always messes up the hands. It puts an extra finger in there usually. Or makes one blurry and longer than it should be.

that's the ai of the past I'm talking about, the current ai models don't even do that mistake anymore

Well, I've seen some AI picks of celebrities and the hands are still messed up. So that's why I say this.
There's plenty of that and it's not going away anywhere, given the AI has no concept whatsoever of what it produces. So you're always going to get images where the bits put together just don't quite align with the reality that the AI isn't aware of. Just like it'll happily string together sentences completely detached from not even facts, but sense.
