Currently, as of 7-8 months of dev time: 2,292 images and 65 animations.

How that compares to other projects, as well as our own historical progress that gets charted with graphs on this forum vs the uptick in perceived quality, is for you to determine.
~70 stills per week is pretty standard I'd say, nothing outstanding in either direction. Some devs put out quite a bit more, some less. Depends a lot on circumstances.

If we rely on the fact that the update was released on December 28th last year, then 7 months have not yet passed, but it's already close to it.

I understand that the development of the next update could have started earlier than the release date of the previous one, but 8 months would already be too much :sneaky:

There was nothing else to do, so I decided to refresh my memory and admire the renders of the transitions. Some of them I haven't seen in the game and I think I'm not the only one, so... enjoy:

I've waited several months for my favorite creator to make one minute animation and it's still worth it, certainly a couple hours of content is good enough right?
Well, I guess too many people here on F95 still haven't realised that time - and clean water, but that's another story - is the most valuable finite resource we own.

Some of them are background pictures for menu options.

It still amazes me to this day that they managed to make HS1 look this good, can't imagine how heavily modded their version must be.
GIL must’ve signed a contract with the devil — trading his soul for that ungodly HS1 quality. There’s no other logical explanation.

I dont think this analogy works since movies and AAA games are developed differently. In visual novel you need to work on renders and text only (and perhaps models and scenes if those were not stock).
I'm not trying to diminish the work of the devs, it's amazing. But for the trending VN on patreon i would assume it must be their main focus, not some side hustle. I'm just trying to comprehend what takes a year to complete an update.
Well, you need to understand how developing a game like this works, first learn how HS works, then try to render a good scene with a few characters in it, well you will need thousands like this just for a decent chapter and that is simplifying things: No animations, no music, low effort in UI / menus...

There are many low effort games out there with broken English and barely any effort in the models or even animations, but they update faster than this, if that is what you want you only need to search them in F95.

I personally would rather wait more and get very good content that will make me immersed in the story, then just play a very lackluster game every few months.

Even then, with so many great games to play, the wait isn't that bad most of the time and honestly if I forget about the story if the game is worth it I don't even mind replaying between long updates.

I downloaded HS1 thinking I could easily create Hana fan art with the same quality as on PC, how wrong I was lol

It’s seriously insane.

It looks so good I wish other games looked like this, I personally think it looks better than HS2.

The overall quality of their HS1 version paired with the care they put into the locations, outfits, poses and facial expressions really makes the difference.

Pale Carnations is a masterpiece.

Same answer as every other VN: if you want a good playing experience you'll remember, it'll take time.

Not to mention, they don't spend 24 hours a day developing. They've got lives too.

I agree, and I'm a patient man, but I get antsy if single updates start taking a year or more.

You did not include my favorite one, which will be added to the game next update: :love:
