I don't want to sound rude or ungrateful but I am wondering how the heck does it take the dev 9 months estimate since the last release to make 3k renders with no animations, like 3k renders isn't little I know its a lot but still with no animations it shouldn't take them such an insane amount of time especially when other solo game devs are putting out games with animations with the same amount of renders and in less time.

According to the dev, each render usually takes about 30-60 minutes to process.

my only issue but this is me not being a dev or knowing shit. But for me it kind of feels odd to go what is it 3 - 4 months without any renders done. But then I guess coding and writing can take a long time idk especially during the Holiday Season but it just feels a little odd to me compared to other devlogs ive seen from some other games

i'm probably gonna skip the next update unless I hear it's good cause I hate updates that are just a party,

You can't just compare the pace of several indie devs just based on the renders number. There are a lot of variables which can impact how fast they can released updates.
A few that come in my mind:
  • Health issues.
  • Family issues.
  • Skills level.
  • Power and number of the rig(s) used to renders.
  • Being a perfectionist and redoing some scenes a couple of time for minor defects.
  • Having a daily job or not. Don't forget than very few indie devs earn enough from there game to lead a decent life. Most of them must have another job.
  • Having a daily job at 5 minutes walk from home vs 3 hours of public transport per day.
  • Having a daily job that required a lot of overtime vs a part time job.
  • Single vs family with kids.
  • Living like an hermit vs having a busy social life.
  • Working tirelessly with no life vs save some free time for enjoying other things.
  • And so on...

I honestly do not know how the game went from 3 to 4 months wait period to 9 months wait period for almost the same amount of work something doesnt add up also this game has no animations those tend to take the longest to make people can make excuses all they want but unless the dev gives a reason why to me that's a red flag for sure.

Where did you get "the same amount of work"? The update will be much larger than the previous ones.

I don't know if people expect porn devs to wake up and only work on their projects until night. Working in software one of the first things they tell you is that every task takes 2x or 3x the time you think it'll take you. Sometimes mistakes make you have to discard some of what you have. Also creative work takes long for some people (R. R. Martin).

Also devs may want to take a week or two off every now and then.

What do you mean by "wake up" and "until night"?
They don't work 24h/day, 7d/week, 365d/year?!
They take time to sleep??!!!
What a bunch of lazy ass!
