Well maybe not off the waiting per se, but I am adult enough nowadays to understand things do take their time. That little boy that preferred to have his presents a week early though is still a part of me for sure. :p
Well, I'm enjoying the waiting period just as well thanks to Notty's chattiness and all the regular barflies in the thread. :D

It's a bit odd. As much as getting a complete game at once would be ideal, I would miss all that. So I rather like it is what it is.:)

I agree, do you think we could persuade Notty to extend the game to 20 chapters? or maybe write a sequel before CH10 so that we don't have to quit cold turkey when it's finished? BTW Notty, I know this isn't even remotely possible, just dreaming. :);)

I know :( Sadly it is the render time that's the bitch. Ballpark guess on where the time goes is probs 13% writing, 2% coding, 10% composition with the other 75% just being....waiting.

I saw on another thread a day or so a go that one dev has a rig with -sixteen- graphic cards! How is that even possible?! But what would that make? An hour render, five minutes?

One day...

You say that but I do wonder about extending the chapter length a little. There are a couple of chapters towards the end where a lot goes on and maybe they could do with a little more room to breath.

I'm minded of the last season of GoT where another couple of episodes -might- have allowed it all to make a bit more sense.

But we'll see. The plan is still for ten at the moment.

I think I know which one you mean, it was multiple machines totalling that many cards, all rendering at the same time.

Oddly enough I think it works better as chapters as that's how it was designed (albeit with the expectation it would be a fuck site quicker!) . Rather than a film it's a series of TV episodes.

Well I am pretty sure that even with a rig with those capabilities it would only challenge you to do new things that you can't do now, so rendering will keep taking time and that is not a problem really. Managing expectations and doing great work do take time and you need some time to reflect on your work to make the changes that are needed.

Same for me. No one makes the female MC games to my liking.:(

Which is why I'm excited about being able to play a female MC the way I want to play thanks to Notty. With her brilliant writing I'm sure it will finally fill the gap in adult games for me! :)

I have no problem with immersion as a female character. In general (including non-adult games here), I do choose male option first, if games give a choice, but I like to do second runs with a female. The important part, however, is to have different dialogues to an extent. I like when NPC's react differently based on the gender of the PC.:)
Well I wouldn't go so far as to say brilliant :) But thanks. Of course post the fem protag for H5 we then get the "real" SP game...
