why are we under the assumption it would shrink substantially?
He wrote this in a WIP
"For this animation I'm aiming for a shorter runtime than the last, but more positions. I'd like to try more of a montage approach this time around just to see how it goes. So that means more poses but less variations. I feel like this approach is easier because of the absence of transitions but we'll see in retrospect."
Granted that was from March 2023, so over a year and a half ago, and things could have changed. But given that, at least for the sex scenes, we've been shown only variations on the same few shots, a shorter length seems likely.
I am hyped but why do I have a horrible feeling that most of the footage we haven’t seen is gonna be from the dialogue/set up and not the seggs
I think you're probably right, that most of what we haven't seen yet is non-sexual animation. Last time, for Bordello 3, he released teasers for every sex scene in the movie, and we've repeatedly seen the same scenes this time around, so I think that might be all of them.
I think that there's a place for story in these longer animations but I hope he didn't spend all this time on just that. Bordello 3 was 10 minutes, about 3 minutes was set-up/closing and the other 7 was sex scenes, which felt fine - hopefully it's a similar ratio or one that leans heavier into the sex.
Looks good so far too not gonna lie. I also noticed that Nyl really put a lot of effort into improving the image composition. The scenes in the courtyard look fantastic. Genuinely looks like an actual ingame cutscene now. Voice acting sounds better too.
