Okay but surely it doesn't take longer than other entire games take. And it's not even "quality" art, don't get me wrong it's not shit either but when I think of quality I think of PersonalAmi or Meruu's stuff, with backgrounds and such, not simple half-body shots without backgrounds slamming together. The sprites are pretty good tho.
I don't know, this just feels like "solo dev raking in patreonbux" sort of pace instead of "passionate solo dev trying to make others experience their vision" pace.
If I had to guess the slow progress has a lot to do with the dev actually programming most aspects of the game. its not an rpgmaker game or renpy visual novel where a lot of the coding is already done for them, theyre making it in godot so they have to do most of that stuff themselves.
, so you can kinda judge that for yourself

As far as I'm aware, beyond the ending arts being com'd from other artists, everything in this game from the music, to the character/npc sprites and normal art, to the coding, the tile sets, so on and so forth is being done by ONE person alone; aka Kamuu, the Moncurse Dev. Beyond the fact that they are a one person team, I think what really slows them down is the moving every 3 or so months they seem to do.

I'm not sure if its moving from home to home/apartment/other abode, but they do a lot of it for some reason. And I've seen them mention once or twice that they also seem to rent out an office; unsure if its for IRL work, or work on this game, or something else entirely.

Would I like updates more often? I mean yeah, who wouldn't; but honestly? I've seen worse schedules, and at least Kamuu actually communicates frequently enough about updates and what's being worked on, which is more than can be said for a lot of devs who just go radio silent COMPLETELY.

Either way, I'd say we shouldn't worry too much until they reach the levels of certain devs/games that truly are infamous for their lack of care and updates.
