Have you thought about reducing the size of the updates or dividing them into parts? It's been almost 6 months since the last one and it may be 6 more months. I think you should look into reducing the time between realeases because 6-12 month is just too much.
That's why I'm doing this remake in the first place, to reduce needed work for the future updates. But releasing a half-done remake would be no bueno. Though such long waits are neither pleasant, I understand that.
While I miss the girls in the game and the latest update left me wanting to slap Shinigami for what she did at the end, I think you are doing the right thing in fixing the problems now. Keep trucking along and don't let others get you down. Quality is worth the wait.
But only a quickieBut if you wanted to maybe post a cute pic of Sophie in her cat ears, I wouldn't be mad at that... just thinking out loud...
I agree quality is worth the wait, to a certain extent. I think a successful developer have to find a balance between quality and quantity but right now the wait between realeases is just too big. I mean I love the game I'm not criticizing it's content (Sophie is the best) but it would be good that Devil's Dad actively look into reducing developing time without reducing it quality because a games that takes this long between update will sooner or later start to get bad reputation (like Waifu Academy or WVM).While I miss the girls in the game and the latest update left me wanting to slap Shinigami for what she did at the end, I think you are doing the right thing in fixing the problems now.

It's cute how Jason make the heart sign with a skull wood ring....
The fact is that Murmur saw that the game would have had issues with the new updates ( kinda like it happened to Jestur for Ripples, to make an example), so instead of waiting he decided to redo it while there was still time, this is not a matter of finding the balancing between quality and release, but to correct what wasn't good with the core of the game itself.
I agree, the balance for the update time is almost crucial, though quality of the product is almost always should be prioritized or there is no point in doing anything to begin with, only if your interest just money. But I see games more as an art than business. And again, I agree with you, game should take less for each update, and I want that. Sadly, I don't see more ways for that at the moment. I'm already in the process of the reduction render quantity for better update times in the future.
considering that most people don't have 4k screens and 1440p is only *just* becoming the average. Yeah, 1080p renders are fine. Also anything more than 720p on a phone screen is pointless.
Quantity, not quality
If you enable this, you will see scenes (with my mascot DD) after credits of each update since 0.3 version while playing the game.
Can't say, animations are taking long to do, but I hope it will be worth it
