Although i want to believe those numbers they are impossible. 2500 hours = 104 days. You really believe he spent 1/3 of his year just in development? So every single day he gets 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of fulltime job, 8 hours of dev for this game, repeat. Its just not possible...

8 hours of sleep? What is this madness? Last time i slept for that long was January 19..something (when my first daughter was born) and since then sleep is this mysterious thing everybody seems to know but i only remember from the old days. Back when life was easier.
On the bright side i am getting old so NAP TIME is AWESOME! But after a few decades i can't stay sleeping after 4 or 6 hours depending on work and private life :ROFLMAO:

Before someone asks. No i don't know the year. My daughters stay all 25 forever and ever you hear me? No way i need my youngest to rat me out to the others talking about their age. I like my head attached on my body. o_O

3-4 hrs a night for four weekdays I'm working the second job, 12 hours for Saturday, Sunday and the weekday not spent on the other job. On average about 50hrs a week. x43 weeks so far = 2150 hrs. Looking at the recent status update about 4 posts up, it says 2246 but that's because I also lump a good deal of the paid vacation days of the other job into development.

So you see, the math works out fine.

Wrt reused assets, there's not all that much. Even if an emote is the same, when it's in a new set or uses a new outfit, it has to be redone to fit the outfit, match the lighting to the venue etc. So that's 15-30 mins an emote x a crapload of emotes plus post plus importing into renpy and then there's, like Morando alluded to, the scripting and the writing and, urh, it just goes on and there's always more to do.

But that's not where the bulk of the work goes, that goes into lewds. One lewdscene might be anything up to several hundred hours of work to complete just the graphical assets for it, and there's not a part of it that reuses assets, it's all custom posed, custom lit, custom outfit tweaks, dforce runs. After initial startup, anything from 1-4 hours per image to set up (excluding rendering, but that happens in parallel to other work), and usually about a hundred images or more to a scene.

There's a reason LomL doesn't look like games that put out a quick release every month.

Looks like he's stuck. Over the past couple of weeks, progress has not been very fast.

Nope, not stuck, just, well, see above. There's a ton of work getting done, but there's many, many tons of work to do.

The more attention to those scenes the merrier. A GOAT still requires nurture/care. I don't care about the date. I'll keep subbed untill it's done and after.


We caught a vibe (yeah, yeah)
Baby, are you coming for the ride? (The ride, the ride, the ride)
When I look into your eyes (your eyes, your eyes)
I just wanna hold you all night (all night)
Maybe we can take a drive (take a drive)
Baby, we can hit the 405
Hypnotized by the lights
Man, this must be the life

Meet me at our spot
Got something I wanna show you
Meet me at our spot
They can't find us there

We can wait, and we all greatly appreciate all your hard work dev. Quality always takes time, believe me I'm constantly having to remind my boss at the studio of this hard reality:

Despite the feeling of horn on a regular basis, the majority of us have a time for it. For any dev (even the shit ones) its not surprising that things can slow down. Not to mention real world setbacks etc. Great game but not played in a while. Did it have a gallery mode because that scene with the younger female with the booty rub was amazing.

Yeah, but no dialogue unfortunately, which kind of makes the whole scene for me :( Which is understandable, ofc, you'd have to input a lot of variables lol. Is why I have save points right before certain scenes that I like and I recommend the same to others :)

One, two
One, two, three

TeamHentaiX and all the other posters
They're all misunderstood
They say "we can't wait for nothing" and
There's no way they ever could
"Now we see everything that's going wrong
With this game and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it."

So they keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the game to patch
They keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the game to patch
It's hard to beat the system
When they're standing at a distance
So they keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the game to patch

Now if I had the power
To bring my Denise home from war
They woulda never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on her door
And when you trust this forum thread
What you get is what you got
'Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want

That's why they're waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the game to patch
They keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the game to patch
"It's not that we don't care
We just know that the release dates are not fair!"
So they keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the game to patch

And they're still waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the game to patch
They keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the game to patch
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the game to patch
Now I keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the game to patch
We keep on waiting (waiting)
We're waiting on the game to patch
Waiting on the game to patch
Waiting on the game to patch
Waiting on the game to patch
