It won't. The gender option is in thanks to the hardware upgrade that makes it possible to render much faster.
Nope and nope. The gender option was intended at the beginning of the development and will only allow Nottravis to have more fun writing more scenes. It won't change the workload nor duration of release, since she got a new more performant rig and can easily render the 10 to 20% additional picture needed for each chapter.

So don't worry, and if you don't like playing as a femC, well don't do it. You'l lstill have plenty to do as maleMC
Only increase the amount of content. Gender choice was planned already, but to be added later. That's the nice thing about Notty as a developer: she plans ahead, and actually has the storyline planned until the last chapter already. To me, that made her a safer bet to support than many other developers, who have no idea in which direction their story will go in 2-3 more updates. For some, writing a story during development might work, but most such developments I see either abandoned or become far-fetched/ridiculous/incomprehensible. And that's not counting the cases where odd player demands get shoe-horned in, only frustrating original supporters because a game they liked suddenly turns into something they find disgusting.
The rendering is now roughly four times faster than it used to be, so there is a capacity for increased amount of renders.
They're saying that since the MC doesn't actually appear in many renders, the difference will be proportionately far less than simply doubling the time. The difference between having to render 16 scenes compared to previously 14 is far less than having to render 200 compared to 50. Opposing such a good quality of life inclusion because it will make development approximately 2% slower is facile, especially when the game is already being remade.
I wish I could quote this ten times for emphasis
Dude, i know what you are trying to say but you don't about mine. It is like talking to closed wall. I am not comparing his/her past rigs with now. There is a simple math. Rendering 2 image takes more than rendering 1 image even if it is very little since it is a pov game.
Agreed, but it doesn't matter. Either way android devices cannot read .jpg files. So I'll need to change the file type anyways. But I'll try to do it without reducing any image quality. This will take a long time tho so for now I'll just release the remastered CRUNCHED version.
OK, yes more renders mean more development time obviously than lesser amount of them.
Yes, two is superior to one, thank you
Thanks for all your efforts either way.
Right. But your concern was that there would be less content per release, or that releases would slow down, right? If you're comparing that to the old releases (which is the only reference point we have to now) then it's not a concern, because as Akamari has explained the new speed of rendering is more than fast enough to compensate for it.
You know, I've heard it said that "simple" math is rarely simple.
Wait... wait, wait wait.Yes, two is superior to one, thank you
I'll go theoretical here since I don't know the real numbers but bear with me.
I don't have any concern and that's what i am doing (waiting).. Can't i just tell my opinions or my worries? Is it forbidden to speak? I don't know why are you all going so defensive over nothing.
You are awfully mentioning about female MC all the time. Maybe i am into female MC not male one.Yes, two is superior to one, thank you
But what we're trying to say is that it doesn't change anything since the releases will still happen when they happen. And it's not just done for the sake of adding a few renders here and there, there is actual content to go with it. I can understand that players who don't care for a female MC don't like to think that the part of the game they do wait for takes more time, but that's just how the game will be.
Not all renders in a game are seen by everyone, should they be considered as useless then? This is part of the development time. For example, I dislike foot fetish. This is really something I simply do not understand. If a dev makes a footjob scene, I won't go out and say this was wasted time or anything. It's just the way it is.
Well if you're into female MC you shouldn't complain about added renders since she wouldn't even exist without those
No need to get upset. We're just trying to respond to your opinons, explain the situation, and address your worries to you. All in good faith.
