how does 5 scene advance all at once instaed of 1 scene becoming more complete? And doesn't some scene already start with some completion, after all there are scenes that are continuations to one another, and have the same renders as the previous ones in the beginning of that/those scene/s? Sorry if it was already answered.
well, there's no rule that you can't work on multiple scenes at the same time
pretty sure almost all VN devs do this, btw. and, especially naughtyroad, I think he has a lot of post-render stuff that he does? obviously he will have better answer, but I think that's the gist of it.
If I did everything serially, I'd be waiting all the time to finish up rendering, which is a huge waste of time. There's quite a few tasks involved; writing dialog, creating scenes for rendering, post processing finished images, script transforms, edit, rework and fix, etc. All except for the scenes creation can go parallel to rendering, and scenes creation is by far the biggest time sink, so in the end it comes down to making sure there's always something to render while I'm doing one of the other jobs, and always having some other job laying around while I'm waiting for the renders to finish, and the image creation job is the tool to balance that all out. That way there's minimal downtime.
Scenes that re-use assets (like the paperdoll conversation scenes in the kitchen, living room, work, bathroom, etc.) will have just the one face because they can be wrapped up relatively quick, but they're hardly without any work at all (dialog needs to be written, the images need to be edited in, scripting the transforms, sometimes a particular emote wasn't done yet for that location/time of day/outfit and needs to be added, or the occasional special variant of an emote is needed, etc.).
Also keep in mind that not all tasks capture well in those images. That infograph was created just about 1 year ago when I finished blocking out the first draft of this chapter. Rework and expanding scope isn't really visualized there unless it's really significant, and for instance last week I did an end-to-end continuity pass that reworks and tweaks a lot of existing scenes, but doesn't show up at all on that infograph except in the hours report.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. March 23. Its a gentleman's wager

OMG, man don't visit a page over 24 hours and a beautiful page converts from a cultural site about bears and ancient weapons (and a try to connect those two seemingly incompatible things) to a betting shop?!

You mean 20/4? Sadly we don't get a special Mary-Jane day in the EU.
They're great though. The perfect emmisary or personal assistant for your personal benefits and interests. Just imagine having Trolololo2 at your service for even 24 hours as a gentleman wingman after winning that bet. Hell if you manage to snag 4 you get a quartet and can trade them in for a Gentlemans' Club which gives even more privacy and options to do stuff.
Sounds like a solid bet to make. I take 5/5.
I'm willing to bet that the next update will be in September. I'll pick the 12th since a Tuesday feels right, you know?

I don't care when, since I'm patient and no longer as eager for smut and naughtiness as I used to be 45 years ago.
The only problem I can foresee is if the update would appear on sunday march 26.
Then I and the rest of us'll be busy wolfing down waffles. No time for idle gaming!
9 months before x-mas us up here in the northern, icier, part of the globe celebrate that the great holiday season is
just a mere pregnancy away.
Waffles are good! And tasty! Games cannot be eaten!

I'm waiting on my old couch when the bathroom begins to close.
Reflecting on our past tries and I do not have much luck.
'Cause at 5 o'clock, they treat me as a parental soul.
The chance of sex for me is running low.
Running low, yeah!
When Denise comes to read me the 'good night's.
Take a look through the fine line with these last sights.
Of a vision that will go very wrong for me..
Can it be that there's some sort of incest?
Hard to stop the surmounting tempest
Is it really the end, not some wet,hot dream?
Somebody, please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from squeaming
The words escape me when I try to speak
Tears flow, but why am I crying?
After all, I'm not afraid of your loving
Don't I believe that there never is an end?
As my girls march me out to the courtyard
I have to cry from a spot, "God be with you"
If there's a Naughtyroad, why does he let me do?
As I choose, my game drifts before me
Though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul, it's willing to viral away
Mark my words, believe our romance lives on
Don't worry now that I have done
I've gone beyond to seek the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion
Yeah-yeah-yeah, LOML be thy game
Yeah-yeah-yeah, LOML be thy game
Yeah
