And the "25" animations are probably just the 2 scenes they have shown, since they showed nothing else

If it even is 30min at all, 532 renders are not that much, certainly not for the time they needed for it and honestly i couldn't care less if they are 4k...

Well the 4k pictures is a moot point really. Most people use 2k resolution, or there abouts, so fully releasing something in 4k is just a waste of bandwidth and the pictures will be automatically downsized to the screen native resolution anyway. With Daz it is good to render in 4k then downsize to 1920x1080 (super-sampling) to help deal with "noise" and is an alternative to AA s iirc DazStudio does not have it (One of the many reasons I prefer Blender for my rendering. Uses Anti-Aliasing).
Having things in 4k is a "Nice-to-have" but definitely not a key selling point.
The 4K picture doesn't matter at all, the game itself doesn't have that much pixel detail

Truth be told. I don't know as I have not paid THAT much close attention. Though it would explain the vastly superior lighting. However, if they have they don't need to render in 4k, at all, for the main game. They just need to tweak the indirect light clamping and all that jazz in Blender to deal with AA. Plus the denoiser in Blender is so much better than Daz's efforts. Iray is decent for something like substance painter to get a feel for things. But Cycles-x is just better imo for rendering.

Jesus, I was expecting more. Disappointing to say the least.
Hopefully, it doesn't take another 6 months to release the other 50% of the episode.

I don't think I saw anything about an engine change or I must've missed it. They're not switching away from Ren'Py but transitioning from Daz to Blender for art and animations. There were some previews shared of the new renders from Blender, including their first attempts. Curious what it'll look on the release.
Maybe in will affect in the next release, but in season 1 it only affects in what house you wake up the next day.

Kinda weird that they were talking about episode 6 being done and released in October, and they were pretty confident with that date, and it's now end of April (6 months later) and they only have a 30 minute beta of the episode done. I'd be upset if I supported the game on Patreon and it's one of the reasons I only support a select few.

Main reason why I have been just giving a one month sub when a game fully releases for years
You get devs that work their asses off for even up to a year and suddenly they release a massive piece of shit after "working on it" for another year
