Yep, thanks for the info! Does anybody know if they got rid of the vids and added 3D animated scenes as it says in the Patreon goal?

That's a lot of pictures for Caroline's story :love: I wonder how much content the neighbours were going to get if he has had to cut back on them :unsure:

I call bullshit. 60 000+ words is not realistic unless he's counting some auto-generated RenPy-code. If we're talking characters of text, then maybe, but I still doubt it.
Aren't like 80k the average length of a novel? Agreed, this seems... unlikely. I mean, almost a full novel for one update, wtf, did he change porn-dialogue into Shakespeare over-night?

Yes, it is. 60k words is usually somewhere between 200 and 300 pages in a book.

Calm boys. He try to give us a masterpiece neighbour content. Who cares Caroline or Celia? Fuck that. Everyone waits for neighbour content. Best thing ever in this game. Stop whining, it hurts.
Well, I don’t wait for neighbors at all, so not everyone is waiting for them

Thanks for the post Pepegaa.

So finally the frustration of just his elite club made him reach out. Fair point but IMO, this is what happens if you aren't consistent. TBH - the game's strongest point was never the story but it's amazing renders.

His communication and timelines for deliverables needs a lot of discipline. NLT is the one to emulate in this regard.

This has to be stressed; with any dev work, linear addition of content or features leads to exponential addition of time in bug-hunting and testing

Yeah, that's something I've tried to offer here, at least.

And, there may be other factors at play, too (e.g., he mentioned crashed in Neighbor scenes, which is not uncommon for Daz but we don't know why in this case).

Plus again, waiting to mash all the content together instead of building out more fully as you go along - i.e., using a"Big Bang" approach - is fraught with integration issues. At least, that's the general method he seems to have described using; it has serious limits in any project I've seen trying that approach - stuff can get very out of hand, very quickly.

That's an average of only 28 words per picture. Your own message above is 28 words. When you consider that renders commonly have multiple lines of dialogue, I think it's a very realistic number.
