In fact, it is quite insufficient.Don't you think M16 is an overkill even for demons

Here is the meaning of life and body of knife
Your body is a knife
And it's tearing into me
I can't help but wonder if I'll make it
Another day
All these games we play
Don't mean a single thing
So go and leave me
High and dry
You look so lonely
Just walking by
You're the knife I can't let go
Don't let it go to your head

The toy gun obviously...You mean the girl or the gun?
I never make fun of them dames - when white-hot angry they are even more dangerous and vicious than a loaded weapon or a primed charge ;-)
And don't you doubt my judgement - been happily married to one for ages now :-D

This visual novel is my hobby project, I don't expect to earn thousands of dollars by developing it, so I don't plan to invest in new hardware anytime soon. I use a few years old laptop with GeForce 960m and 4GB RAM.
So for my scenes I have to find a compromise between quality and rendering time.
In my free time I create story and Daz Studio scenes, rendering usually runs during my normal work or other activities.
Sometimes I get into a situation where rendering time limits me because I am able to create scenes faster than render.
I usually use denoiser in the last iterations of rendering.
The following example shows render after 100 and 1000 iterations. 1000 iterations is the number I currently use in many scenes.
Do you think that the difference in quality is worth using about ten times longer rendering time?
100 iterations
1000 iterations
100 is of course a very small number of iterations, but I use it as an example to illustrate the differences.
I don't plan to reduce the number of iterations in my scenes 10 times, but some reasonable reduction could speed up development time sometimes or it would allow me to include more renderer.
Edit: adding 400 iterations example.
400 iterations
The same settings and using denoiser ad the end. The quality difference between 100 and 400 iterations appears to be quite noticeable in some places, but not so much between 400 and 1000 iterations.

Development continues. I work mainly on Renders. My estimation, but not the promise, is that Chapter 2 will be ready sometime in May.

At this point, it is clear that it is not possible to complete episode 2 in May. I am not facing any major difficulties, the development is going well, I just don't have as much free time as I would like to have.
However, I consider the release of Chapter 2 in June to be almost certain, unless something unexpected happens.
I'm considering giving a few people access to the development version sooner if anyone is interested, but I don't want to release the development version of Chapter 2 publicly.
If anyone is interested, you can contact me via private message. I expect the development version with some renders missing to be ready in about two weeks.
Well, Chapter 2 is playable at the moment, but so far there are too many places that are not covered by the corresponding renders, and I want to add a few lines of dialogs in one branch.

The development continues quite well, although the higher number of family events after the abolition of most COVID-19 measures reduces my free time. And I also underestimated the number of renders I have to create in order to be happy with what Chapter 2 looks like.
Already at this point, Chapter 2 has significantly more renders than Chapter 1. Almost all Daz Studio scenes and most renders are done.
So what's left?
I'd rather not make estimates. It seems to me like work for a few evenings + rendering during my normal work, but ...

So what's left?
- Rendering of the remaining scenes.
- Creating a couple of new scenes that are a minor modification of existing scenes and differ, for example, only in facial expression.
- Tuning transitions between some scenes.
- A little testing and debugging.

Today version 0.2_beta has been released.
Changelog
I'll be mostly offline next week so my ability to respond to questions and comments will be very limited until the last week of July.
In the last week of July, I will make minor corrections to Chapter 2, if necessary. Then I start working on Chapter 3.
This visual novel is mainly my hobby. Most of my time is occupied by my full-time job and my family. At the moment I am not able to promise what my release schedule will be but I will only accept 3 Patreon monthly payments and then pause the billing cycle until Chapter 3 is released. You can be sure that Chapter 3 will cost you a maximum of 3 payments, even if the development will take longer than 3 months, which is almost certain.
Game thread update
To update this thread, I have prepared a new set of preview images that more closely match the content of the game as it is now, so I would like to ask an uploader to replace the existing preview images. I also prepared a new main image for the thread.
