They have an update post. I can't read most of it, but this is the start:
"Hey guys - letting you know where we are. We wanted to release it before the end of the month, but the coding will take a bit extra time..."
"Hey guys - letting you know where we are. We wanted to release it before the end of the month, but the coding will take a bit extra time..."
Really struggling to imagine what coding issues they're running into that take a week to fix... its not like Renpy is a complicated engine...
I mean I expected nothing less from them. Thought the coding was finished a long time ago? Wasn't the patch delayed by Nomo not being satisfied with his art?
They are doing something else now, or at least it seems to. The real patch with the story quest and all that is unfinished as you said, with Nomo wanting to redraw something. Currently the writer and the coder is trying to put something together that can be released at least while we wait for Nomo.
You know... I don't really know code... but couldn't the story technically continue and later images added?

Absolutely. Any programmer or software engineer with the slimmest hint of knowledge and competence in their craft can handle code for Ren'Py. NDS, the coder for KoD, is lazy or incompetent.
From everything i've read so far from Hreinn, their development cycle goes something like this:
1. Discuss the content of the patch.
2. Nomo starts drawing, writer starts writing.
3. When those two are finished the coder compiles the content into a patch.
4. Test and release.
Now, i must say again that i don't know much about coding, so anyone with more knowledge can correct me on this one, but as soon as the plans are made and Nomo has some sketches or the writer has some rough scripts, a programmer can start coding already with placeholders and just quickly replace those with the actual content when the artists are done.
Even if the coding process legitimately takes a couple of months due to some kind of difficulty or a lack of available time, the task itself can be started long before everything else is done. And so far i've not seen a single indicator of that happening.
Anyone in this thread from the future? I am actually curious if this game will ever be finished

Of course it will. When it's finally finished and goes on sale on Steam I'm looking forward to pre-ordering it for my unborn grand-nephews. (..when they're grown up, of course.)

You can find Lora on Sabia on the Civitai website. There you can also see examples of works by users of the site using this Lora. It still falls short of the original, but the result is good.
P.S. If anything, pardon my language - I write through the translator DeepL.
Wow, these actually look pretty good. The usual AI-hand problems are present, but i can't say that i mind a top-down Sabia BJ picture that i can actually see.
Damn, i wish Nomo to get better and start drawing full art again.

If they continue to "develop" the game in the same style and pace, soon there will be someone indifferent who will add new art to the game a little at a time. Of course, even with Stable Diffusion you need talent and imagination. From the developers we wait 8-10 months each for updates for the game.
All we have to do is wait for Lora on Neve.
