This is how progress looks from May 24, 2024 (Patreon post) to July 16, 2024 (Discord post)
DOTTIE – renders -0 animations -49 events remaining – 2
AMELIA - renders -3 animations -4 events remaining – 0
DIANA (BAKERY in May) renders -97 animations -25 events remaining – 1
WRITING – words -0 events remaining – 6
CODE - events remaining - 32
"SHAVED" OLD SCENES – 2 events remaining – 3
So, in 53 days, a total of 100 – renders and 78 – animations were made. That's 1,89 renders per day and 1,48 animations per day in the period from May 24 to July 16. In total, since the beginning of work on the 0.5 sequel, 610 renders and 193 animations were made for 29 events, which is an average of 21.04 renders per event and 6.65 animations per event, words were written for 26 events and that's 4218 words, so 162 words per event (we will not read much). So, with regard to the previously written, visually, 3 new events and 3 old shaved events remains to be done, therefore, and an approximately total of 126 renders and 40 animations remain to be made (this is not precise because we do not have precise data for old shaven events); and textually, 6 events, so 972 words needs to be written.
If we take renders as a starting point for estimating the completion of work on the 0.5 sequel, the completion day is September 20, and if animations are the starting point, then the completion date is August 12. But the coding speed is a complete unknown, as well as the time the author will spend to protect the product from copying and piracy. I expect 0.5 to be here by the end of the year, I was hoping for August earlier, but that was too optimistic. Last time it took a month to leak here, this time it will probably take more.
