This is the dev talk where we see that all assets were done like last week but no assembly could be done
because the animator could not contribute the animations to the dev team.

Our animator is sick
There is a small delay in the release because our animator got sick.
The plan was to release the game EP1-9 last Friday(21.02) but he was not able to come to work the this last week (unfortunately there where some compilations). The thing is this episode is heavy on animations and it would be a shame to release it without the animations especially with the introduction of "Lust Time"(new game feature).
Now, the current plan is that I try to make the animations. I have done 0 animating in the last year and a half so they might look like shit and they will be replaced in a hotfix once our animator gets better. For now let's all wish him a speedy recovery and wish me luck with the animations.
Best regards,

Please understand that working on a game takes many man hours and the last week of assembly was lost because
one member of the team was absent like totally. The animator did not contribute his work to the team in the editing room
so there was no editing to be done .. rather scrambling to code what else they had in there.
I hope that your animator makes a speedy recovery
Big studios with multiple teams like ubi or LOP have months on end of assets pouring in from various members of the team and
the editing is done only and if all parts are laid bare on the editing table.
Delays are mandatory and sudden drop of one member in the team, namely the content creator,
seing as a lot of devs whine of how hard it is to animate stuff, means a huge drop in quality.
Like we have already seen ... if they release in the span of 3-5 months one version with stills and the other with animations ...
gamers will feel cheated out of their stellar game!
Please have patience and do not alienate the dev out of this forum with petty squabbles
over what you imagine of how and why games get made.
We are all hoping the game team comes together and make the best game they can possibly create.
