Just 14 chapters??
Since we're already at Ch. 9 and the last three chapters or so have been so short, in fact all of them have, I have no idea how he's gonna tell the remainder of the story with 1500 renders, give or take (if we go by how many renders on average the last 2-3 chapters had). Chapter 10 is supposedly coming next month so it's going to be short most likely.
Like I said, if the plans haven't changed (idk what the Dev is planning now vs back then) he can do many things, what he's deciding to do, I have no clue. I'm not counting renders. I'm going by the playtime/plus the stuff he mentioned in the Early Access info box.
"NOTE: This is not a regular update but the part missing from Chapter 9.
There's not much content in this, if you want something substantial please wait for chapter 10.
NOTE: To compensate for this, the next update will be releasing next month"
I don't know how long the 9th Chapter was since I didn't play it, so I don't know how much extra time you got with the second part of Chapter 9. Don't know how long this Chapter 10 will be if it's gonna be released next month. But seeing "substantial" let's see if it is indeed substantial or not.
Also, he mentions this in the EA box
“The early access build contains 6 chapters of the game.
Around 2 to 3 hours of content.
There's also some extra content in the -extra- menu.”
Seeing 6 Chapters = 2-3 hours' worth of content. When other games can have one Chapter last 1+ hours. I already knew it was going to be short and probably not have much content (li wise) I don't think they will have proper endings (the side girls) they are probably there just for a sex scene or two (idk since my MC is avoiding the side girls)
Another 6 or so Chapters and that's another 2-3+ hours' worth of play time. Since we are at Chapter 9, and you said it yourself, the updates before the 9th were short too. Usually, when a game gets updated in 2-3 months, the updates are never usually long.
“A chapter for the game usually takes 2 to 3 months to make which I release as updates regularly, I hope to continue delivering content at that cadence."
It also depends on the path you are on. If you stick to one path, that path probably doesn't get much content than the other path and etc. You can't expect a bunch of hours of gametime when the Dev is releasing updates quickly (2-3 months) and you have to take in the "animations" stuff too, which take a lot of time to make.
I do wonder what the "extra content" will include (I haven't checked it) is it more stuff to playthrough or just images?
