Just my two cents. I would imagine that most, though not all, artists for hire might be uncomfortable working on porn games because it can hurt their chances within the graphic design industry. Obviously some people probably are willing to do it as a side hustle from a regular gig, and some might be hard up for work and take on porn games until something better rolls along. Just seems that artists dropping out of porn games is a common enough occurance as to not be some outlandish claim by Eva here.
I mean there are ton of artists on twitter posting their artistic "porn designs" but you would clearly hire someone who is in that kind of work already if you're hiring for a VN who is going to last for years in development, no?

I don't know. It was just a hypothesis, it seems to be common enough that artists drop out of games, that it wouldn't strike me as an unusual excuse. Again, and I don't know for sure, but it feels to me like there are very few graphic artists that work exclusively on explicit content. I would imagine that most of those you see on twitter are like accountants or whatever in their day jobs and they're just drawing porn as a hobby. If you're a graphic artists as career you have to have a portfolio and showing your ahego face Lena to the HR department of Google likely isn't winning you the job.

I didn't strictly meant twitter artists but someone who will work alongside dev on drawings till the game is completed, someone who is into that kind of work professionally. If you are going to work on a project for years than shouldn't you hire a professional instead of a hobbyist or part timer?

In an ideal world? Yes.

Unfortunately we only have to be patient and any speculation we make will remain in the void because the only one who knows is EK and the reason for keeping the secret was because perhaps he was looking for a solution to the problem but he couldn't find it and he had no choice but to tell what what was happening :unsure:

Damn, it's going to take more than 3 months to get only Ian's POV for ch12. Talk about glacial speed. Why am I getting this feeling that EK will revert to 16 chapters? :unsure:
Could be an excuse to attempt that though. We don't really know all the facts behind things so -shrugs-.

At this pace, even Summer's Gone will have a good amount of episodes than ORS. :KEK:
Yeah... at a pace of 1 episode a year with SG and WIAB... If that.

I think in all likelyhood EK probably has/had a contingency plan in place and I'll willing to semi guess that things won't slow down much maybe. Cause there are quite of a number of artists out there. The issue though I'm seeing right now will be the style of the possible changes.
