Hi!
I decided to take a week off because the holiday season is coming, and with it, some extra free time. I’m resting a little bit now so during my actual job’s vacation I can to work on this without feeling burned out.
Everything’s going great! This chapter will probably go beyond 1000 renders. That’s a lot, but I’m making steady progress and that really keeps me motivated.
I read somewhere that since I’ll be using Blender for animations, people think I’ll animate everything. No, that’s not the plan! I'll just use it to add those nice physics we all love. It’s still a visual novel, not a movie.
That’s all for now. The novel is coming along really well, and my ideas feel solid. Thank you all so much for another month of support. I’ll keep working as hard as I can to finish this story as soon as possible without sacrificing quality!❤

I really hope that the new update will be released by the end of the season.

Is Amelie getting chubbier each update or she's just pregnant this time?

I also find it amusing how many Davie fans are desperately posting negative reviews just to badmouth the game. I just read a few 1–2 star reviews — it’s unbelievable what kind of nonsense some people write there. Sure, not everyone has to give the game 5 stars like I did, but 1 or 2 stars are, objectively speaking, an absolute joke considering the render and animation quality the game offers.

if I had a PC to render, I would have made the renders myself for free so that updates could be done faster.
If any other developer or those who have the ability to render helped him create the render or help him with the coding, it would have been updated much faster.
You're making several assumptions, such as:

1. Actual bottlenecks are things like rendering speed and coding skill.
2. Xenorav would be able to manage dividing up the work.
3. Xenorav would accept help, even if that help was free.

Does Xenorav's behavior over the past 5 years suggest that any of those are true? I personally don't think so.

Exactly. He’d have to teach a lot before someone could actually be useful in his workflow.

Maybe if it were one of his close friends offering to help for free, he’d take the time to explain things, but none of us are personal friends of his, so forget it. He won’t bother teaching random people like us unless he knows they’ll stick around to help.

I’ve been trying for weeks to reach him just to offer some help and talk about the game, even the moderators on his server can’t easily get in touch with him. So yeah, for now it looks like he's not interested in getting help.

I also know that xenorav uses his free time to create games,
A while back he quit his job to work on Heart Problems full-time, but game progress didn't get any faster. Then he went back to working a "day job" again when Patreon deactivated his account, but game progress didn't get any slower. In the realm of AVN developers, Xenorav is far from unique in that behavior, too. I'm not complaining, just saying that logical assumptions don't hold and we obviously don't have the whole picture.

There are many people in this thread who are willing to give their lives for Amelie but there is no one to help xenorav render for free. Poor xenorav has said countless times that the Heart Problem game is his hobby project and he is making the game out of his love for the art. Even if he can't make any money from the game, he will still make and update the game regularly. So those of you who are not helping xenorav despite having the ability should be ashamed of yourself. Honestly, if I had a PC to render, I would have made the renders myself for free so that updates could be done faster.
You didn't take into account one feature that many creative people have. They don't want anyone else to interfere in their work because then the final result will no longer be 100% their merit and this feeling will not bring them satisfaction from the work they have done.
Given the amount of work he already done if i were Xenorav i also wouldn't take someone else into this little world of mine.

And as for the help of friends that was mentioned earlier there is a posibility that Xeno's friends doesn't even know the name of the game he is creating. I think he doesn't name it and doesn't tell them plot details. He just says something like - Oh, ye, i'm creating a novel, nothing serious, it's a little hobby and evades the further questions. This is the same thing that we do in part. After all, how many of us tells their friends/co-workers that we playing porn games and especially we like the incest stories. I'm sure not many.

Now my question is, did xenorav only mean chapter 11 or the entire novel when he said the story, and how will he finish it quickly alone?
1. He meant the whole game.
2. He can stop fooling around like he did it in a past and create a game in the same mode in which he is doing it now.
Because unlike before, now his pace is just fucking amazing.

The best way to help Xenorave is to become a paying subscriber because money is a great motivation for any job or atleast stop whining (does not apply to you personally) and demoralize him even when he's doing he's best and just play other games while he cooks.

As far as I know, coding is the hardest and most time-consuming task. Xenorav will do everything from writing scripts to creating images and animations, according to his plan, but it would have been easier if he had an assistant to do the coding.
Nah, coding is the easiest part of creating a visual novel. I know because i've done it.
It's just that devs probably prefer to leave it for the last phase because by writing a script you can already relax and take a break from previous tasks. Those breaks can be the reason why players thinks that coding is the hardest thing.
The most difficult & time consuming work in my opinion is - Renders.
You really need experience, knowledge and talent here.

Creating high-quality renders is one of the most complex tasks, requiring a very powerful computer for 3D rendering, in addition to the animations.

This moment especially stood out to me when I played HP for the first time. The whole fucking (pun intended) conversation that takes place between them during this one static render, oof! That's the best case of dialogue-heavy static render I have ever seen in any AVN. In most of the AVNs I have played, this tactic comes off as lazy storytelling. But here, it totally takes the scene's energy to the next level.

It's moments like these that remind me how Xenorav is an absolute master when it comes to building and sustaining erotic tension. And I guess, that's why, he is unwilling to seek help from anyone for any part of this novel. He has a very specific vision for each and every aspect of this novel, which he doesn't think anyone could do justice to it, apart from him. And that too, either for free or a meager sum.

I certainly hope we get to see something similar in the coming chapter when Amelie and MC have their first time. And I might be in the minority here, but I'd definitely miss these moments of hesitations, reluctance and interruptions (the game of blueballs, basically) between the MC and the women around him. These added so much depth, believability and tension to an otherwise simple and linear story.

I THINK CREATOR HAVE WATCHED GOOD AMOUNT OF MOVIES AND TV SHOW , YOU CAN FEEL THE ENVIOURMENT OF INCE FAMILY AND ITS PUSHES THE BOUNDERIES SLOWLY UNLIKE OTHER FAMILY WHERE CHARACTER DOING ALL THER FAMILY MEMEBER ALL AT ONCE WITHOUT THE PROPER CONVERSATION LIKE UNDER 1 HOUR MOST AVN DOES BECUASE MOST AVN ARE NOT GOOD WIRETERS AND DIRECTORS , AVN NEED GOOD DIRECTORS AND SCRIPT WRITERS TOO LIKE TV SHOWS AND MOVIES .
