No problem but the quality is not that much in this game to justify the super slow story progression...
just an example: The Spellbook comes with better quality renders and animations and very constant story update...
indeed I love the story... and the quality is not only in renders---
maybe StopperArt needs a good screenwriter... the story in this game is very inconsistent.
He is a great cartoonist illustrator.. but nothing more.

Dude... please don't write stuff you know nothing about. There is a huge gap in quality between Rocco's (The Spellbook) and Stoper's renders. And that comes from a guy who is the admin/mod on The Spellbook's discord server.
Rocco doesn't do postwork (photoshop) on his renders, but Stoper does (same as Lewdlab, PhillyGames, Motkeyz etc.).
Rocco makes good animations but his renders are barely mid-average in comparison to other artist. Jim and Rocco's story is straight linear without much choices for players. Hence, less renders to do for brunches. Also, Rocco works full-time on The Spellbook and Stoper doesn't.
Not doing postwork on your renders saves a lot of time too, that's why Dr. PinkCake doesn't do it often (you clearly can see it in his renders). (And to be honest some of Pink's renders look like colorful smashed potatoes).
I'm not an expert at all when it comes to renders, but working with a few talented artist spoiled me and helped to see differences in renders and style.

You must check your eyes.Spellbook renders hardly can be even in top 20-30 titles let alone in top 5.
Stoper does work full-time on JOHN, but other than that, you are absolutely right.

even if it is a very pessimistic vision I also think that the update will be short, plus the fact that it hasn't published anything as of December 14th means that we are really almost at a standstill. the second less pessimistic hypothesis could be that he has understood not to publish anything if the state of the work is still too far behind (as I think it is). keep it up stoper you are the best.
Some of the scenes take almost 3 days only to render so dont bitch about it. Its getting out soon enough

It's not coming out this week according to what he said on discord, so after the 20th next week sometime hopefully. Your prophecy came true tho.
Last tuesday stoper said that he need more than week to finish the update. More than a week means 8 days atleast. Today is 7-th day. But stoper didn't say two more weeks, so I think that version 0.4 will be released before saturday! Or I hope so!

animations take time and it seems stoper has been too stubborn about some of them, or at least this is the version that emerges.Last tuesday stoper said that he need more than week to finish the update. More than a week means 8 days atleast. Today is 7-th day. But stoper didn't say two more weeks, so I think that version 0.4 will be released before saturday! Or I hope so!

Dude, just wait for the 20th of the month, if it doesn't, it'll probably be at the end of the year, uhmm ... so it'll probably.

Nah, even if I wanted to, I can't play it while the PC is rendering.He must be busy playing Cyberpunk
But CP2077 is my consolation these days, they did screw up their release worse than I did mine

This is the logic I use when I have to study for the exams: "I will study tomorrow, then I will probably study next week" and in the end I stay up all night the day before the exam XD

Yeah, true, and you can easily see the difference if you look at the quality of renders these 4 developers do, and compare them to the rest. I would add a game called Come inside that has amazing looking renders too.
Also i absolutely agree about dr. Pinkcake, and his Being a Dik game. I consider it the best game on this site, with ok-good renders, but often while playing BADIK i thought about how amazing would it be if it had the render quality of JOHN.
