Are unexpected delays really unexpected if we expect them by now?

Hi everyone,
I come with both good and bad news.
Due to extreme temperatures and bad power infrastructure in my country over the past week, I have experienced daily power outages starting around 6 PM, sometimes even earlier, lasting until morning. From what I understand, the infrastructure cannot sustain such temperatures, and everyone turning on their AC when they get back from work doesn't help either.
Because of this, I had to wake up at 5 AM to work for 10-12 hours before the power was cut off, which surprisingly turned out to be good. I managed to be more productive in the morning than usual, so this is the good news. This week, I managed to complete around 250 scenes. To put it in perspective, the first episode of No More Money had around 250 renders, so doing this many renders in one week is amazing.
The bad news is that I'm really behind with rendering. As you know, I have two machines: my old machine, which I use for rendering 24/7, and another machine that I use for work during the day and for rendering at night. However, since I was without power for half of the day for a whole week, my old machine was only able to render a 600-frame animation, while the other machine didn't do a single render.
Hopefully, things will be better next week.
Bests,
Jason

Romania has daily power outages? From his Patreon post I would have guessed he is in Ukraine somewhere, where they have power outages every day (as well as a crazy heatwave at the moment).
I figured somewhere small as a heatwave in the entire country... Though Romania isn't all that small.
Did a quick check out of curiosity and much of Romania was under the threat of 'code red' for a prolonged heat wave this past week with temperatures reaching 42 degrees Celsius (roughly 105 degrees Fahrenheit equivalent).
I can't speak to the state of the infrastructure in Romania but in the U.S., with good or better infrastructure, we had brown outs in the Midwest where I live (earlier this summer when temperatures were hitting mid 90 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 days straight) and all it takes is one power outage at night while you are sleeping to lose hours of productivity rendering the queued work If that is all you lose.
This comment from RC feels legit and fits the news that is available with just a quick check, even if he is bearing bad news that we don't want to hear.
I'm a $ supporter and I see no reason to question what is happening or drop my $ support based on what I found.
Sometimes - RL issues are not actually a dev milking their supporters; they are just that - RL issues.
Cheers!!

Where does the dev live? Here in europe we don't have no outage at all? Let us all sponsor him and donate a generator. I want to know how the game will develope......

Hi everybody,
I hope you all had a wonderful week.
PROGRESS STATUS
Given how much work there still was on the animation side, even with help, I decided it was best if I also focused on animations. We managed to do quite a lot of animations this week. There are still a few left, but it doesn't look as bad as before.
If things go well, in about two weeks all the animations and scenes should be prepared for rendering. At that point, I'll start testing the new episode while I wait for my machines to render the animations. This will take a lot of time because there are a lot of animations, and some of them have even 600/700 frames, with each frame taking around 5-10 minutes.
Also since this week there was only one power outage in my area, I managed to render all the scenes I prepared last week and a few animations.
That being said, I do believe that by the end of August you'll get the new episode.
Best,
Jason

Well, I will be waiting. Hope for Charlotte and Denise content! I love them both! So ultimate will be all together.... In one BIG scene. And than I woke up.
Awesome pic with that update, really looking forward to some intimacy with Tris.

First of all, thanks for the update. I'm glad to see it's her turn, great, even if she is mogged by her mother.
Hah, absolutely. Beyond the much anticipated intimacy scene, I hope the characters discuss their relationship a bit as well - Charlotte & MC did that pretty well in the previous release, but haven't seen much of it from the Tris + MC route yet and with incest route games like this I feel like they will hit a lot better when the feelings and awkwardness of the relationship is not avoided since it becomes such a big deal for the rest of the surrounding cast given the shock-value of it, how to carefully proceed, etc.

100% agree on this. I think the time is right to see more of Bea, but Tris is the main target in my sights. Further down the line, give me Tris and Charlotte, and oh boy...

They allways say that a dirty mind is a joy forever. I agree with that one. But for me Denise will have to be part of the scene as well.
