Yeah, like
SubtleHustle mentioned, Icstor doesn't seem to have a real plan on how many animations he needs or wants to do.
As Icstor said in one of his latest Discord posts, he "
will probably reach above 100" animations for the release.
The way this is phrased, it is pretty clear to me that if we see a release tomorrow, it will not be released because the animations are done. Instead the update will be released with whatever he has to not miss another deadline.
Keep in mind that, as I stated before, if the update will be released with ~100 animations it will be 1 animation for around 24 renders.
This would be a significant drop as, relative to the size of the update, there would be about 46% less animations than in the last 3 updates before 0.6 which had 1 animation for every 13 renders.
