six months of waiting and there are only the first two events (perhaps) that really interest me. how sad.

I said maybe because, as you know, stoper doesn't release much information about updates; so there could be so much more I only wrote what I imagine

Aorrta should join as a vocalist, his vocals would be literally nothing.

in any case I would be happy with your predictions, but unfortunately there will not be so many contents at all. I barely foresee half of it.
Calm down comrades, i feel the update is coming in around 12 hours, then all of this tension can be released.
Hey, everyone. I was hoping to release the update tomorrow (Saturday), but I'm overwhelmed Amanda with writing in the last moment, so I doubt we'll make it. So it should be ready on Sunday. All images are ready, postwork, renpy structure. The only thing left is the final writing and some testing. Almost there.

always indicate the source of the information, to avoid misunderstandings. if you have a message screen it's even better.

When was this wrote? because in Italy it is already Saturday so he wouldn't have wrote ''tomorrow (Saturday)''

He said the same thing on discord yesterday (Friday) saying it could be out today and now it's onto Sunday? Guess Monday is the day.

that's why I suggest to always indicate the source and put, if possible, the message screen
The next message on Sunday night might be "not going to bed until it´s ready!" and then on Monday "Damn it, I won't make it without some sleep. Everything is ready, but the final coding in RenPy and that's going too slow. Bla Bla and sorry guys."
Then... we will have the update around mid week...
When it comes to devs like Stoper and some others who are infamous for delays, what one should understand is that they are artists first and programmer/coders/computer expert second/none. Yes their renders are beautiful and well done, but as artists they tend to be caught up in the creative process so much that they have no real sense of when their vision comes to fruition. It will happen eventually.
This also means the are not working on optimizing their rendering engine. My understanding is that every engine has specific settings which when tweaked properly would allow rendering of images much faster than it would otherwise. But it would take a programmer with working knowledge of the engine to optimize it properly. Also these settings would have to tweaked constantly for different images. Its not just about how powerful your hardware is, it is about making sure that your software can harness the maximum of the hardware's potential. I understand that devs who are artists don't delve into optimizing or understanding the engine they work with as much as they can, which causes delays in rendering and completing their vision even when their creative juices (no pun) are overflowing.
Pestering the devs or leaving negative reviews on a pirate site isn't going to do much. At this point it would be best to check back once in a week or two to see if there is any progress.

Implying that people that work in Blender, Daz or whatever have no idea how to change render settings, which is something that's made available to the user and can be easily tweaked, the people that made these programs aren't idiots, they didn't make them so only programmers can use them efficiently, otherwise you'd have a hell of a lot less people using them.
Yeah down to a more technical level sure, most people don't have a clue how to change the core of the renderer they're using, I have now idea Cycles works, but I know how I can improve render times in program.
That is what i was trying to say. Im definitely not saying that artists are idiots. Im saying that compared to the speed with which they could render and the speed at which they are able to render makes a lot of difference in how fast their project moves forward.
