Shelby's bacon will get deep fried if she doesn't realize what Darci is up to. Then again, it'll be payback since the neglected daddy's girl had the gall to insult the latter and her best friend as well.

There's no set date by which Jestur sends out regular Progress Reports/Dev Updates like DPC, Royal Candy, Ocean etc. Jestur is more in line with Caribdis who gives out monthly/bi-monthly dev logs but not on any particular date. Same with their previews. As for the next update. Jestur is finishing up some animations as well as in the proofing/testing phase. So we're close to the finish line. I would predict an early July release.

Yes, it has been divined by a cabal of nine seers, each the seventh child of a seventh child. They gathered in secret holy places and through dark rituals too profane to describe (lest God turn His face from humankind in shame) divined without divinity the time and place the next proclamation. But the cost of this revelation was high and warped the minds of those sorry souls, they saw much and too much and Madness claimed them for her own. They know The Truth and the whole of The Truth, though sense has left them and their anguished screams now serve as reminder that some knowledge was not meant for this world nor the people of it.
really great game, one of the best of his kind, i havent finished yet my 1st playtrough, but man, these sex scenes are on another level. i got 2 kinky moments with skylar cant wait to see more of those, and also wondering if anything happens with shelby? thats all for me at the time, once again Jestur you rock dude

Idk if it's just me, probably, but this episode seems be the in longest production time than every other ep

Pretty sure that was Ep 4 or 5. Jestur had surgeries in the middle of production on one of the episodes so it padded the production time. This one has been about 7 months. Definitely on the lengthier side. I'm personally fine with the wait. He has the best honey select renders/animations and lengthy updates while doing it alone. That and I really enjoy the story above all.

Definitely worth the wait. I'm sure it will not disappoint. But it's correct that this is the longest episode production time yet. If it were to release tomorrow (not gonna happen), it would be 229 days since the Ep 6 release. I predict that we'll be looking at about 240-250 days for this release
It's very normal and expected for releases to take progressively longer as a game develops. Later releases have more path branches to cover that will need their own unique renders and writing. Also, as devs' skills increase, some tend to perfect things more, both the art and the writing. Let him cook, men! We'll be eating good soon enough.

FWIW, I think he had surgeries while in production of both episode 5 and episode 1's remaster.

Episode 3 was in 2 parts. Total production time: 254 days. I don't remember if it was said at the time but my impression was always that it was split so that there wouldn't be such a long wait from chapter 2, then after that Jestur decided not to split chapters again.
It's a long time between updates but each one is substantial. I replayed the whole thing recently. I had intended only to go back to the first meeting with Riley so I could reject her (!!!!!) and then fast forward to the scene where you choose whether to bury the box (I hadn't before but wanted to see what happened if I did, and having done that I think it is the better, or at least more interesting, choice) and then again to catch up to the present. Somehow I found myself on a Friday night starting from the beginning. I didn't sleep that night and still did not finish. Took most of the weekend to get to the end.
If you're a fast reader who doesn't spend much time looking at the pictures either, you could get through it fast. I've never seen the point of speed reading fiction. I want it to go at a real world pace so I read dialogue about as fast as I'd speak it and same with the rest of the text. And there's something to be said for taking your time looking at the images as well, in a VN like this with quality art.

And this matters because? What? It takes as long as it takes. The only thing asking repeatedly does is potentially make the dev anxious and that slows them down causing more anxiety and then they quit because their mental health is more important than dealing with "When's the next update?" posts.
You people who just gobble any shit up and never question anything are the worst bunch.
Yes, it fucking matters.

"Yes, it fucking matters." why? does your life revolve around visual novels to the point where one taking a long time to update will kill you? I just dont get it, I am excited for the new update, but I am not gonna lose my shit if it isn't released by July
Jestur does a great job with Ripples and, yes - this update is taking longer than those that preceded it.
So what!
If you are taking it for free, go get something else for free while you wait.
If you are a $ supporter like me, then choose to continue to support with $ or not.
You are an adult - you get to make the choice.
I don't know how you spend your time in between updates of Ripples.
I'm happy to go try some of the large backlog of AVNs I've downloaded on F95 to see which are worth my time and, perhaps, some $ support.
I'm looking forward to many of my favorite creators delivering the next rev in their AVNs, but I'm not camping on any thread on F95 while I wait.
So - GL with some other AVNs while you wait.
I'm off to enjoy updates that I've already downloaded.
Cheers!!
