I won't be switching Ren'Py; the game will always be a VN, just like it is now!
Otherwise, I will be switching from Daz to Blender (I already partially did), and I will be adding UE5+ to my environments creation workflow. Both should improve the development speed, and the latter should also make environments a lot more explorable since I will be able to pump out a lot more backgrounds at about the same time!
PS: There is a dedicated Linux version; you shouldn't need to use Wine!
I'm pretty much done with the production side of things. Now I'm stitching it all together! Hold on just a little longer!
