I think that is something very personal, i don´t like short updates because the story doesn´t go forward and in 20 mins (with luck) is finished.
That's why smart devs make free roams with mini-games and items to find.
but, but...but, thats the whole point
I remember those times, the bitching during that was the short playtime, and let's be real, when 70% of their render is really facial expression which are exceptional btw
, there was not really anything going on. or much of a play time
Don't worry, it won't be for long. As soon as you wake up from a drunken stupor and find that Helen is now your girlfriend you will look for the most effective way to off yourself....is that with or without a chance of parole?
No one is saying that updates should be released more often, but at the expense of quality. The developers just said that the next update will be 2 times less, so they plan to release it within 4 months. At the moment, the 7th month is already ending, but they did not even write the reason why the delay is happening. If you promise to produce something in 4 months, but it turned out to be done in 8 months, then it would be good to tell your subscribers why it happened.
1) The dev didn't "promise" anything, and none of us are owed anything. I don't care what you think your'e entitled to.
You didn't read my message carefully. Developers may have their own work schedule and there may be reasons for delays. But why don't they tell their subscribers anything? No one even knows how many images and animations have been made at the moment, there are only incomprehensible percentages.
Probably because that information is completely irrelevant.
This is the first time I've heard that the number of pictures and animations doesn't matter. And I'm not comparing the number of pictures in "Summer Heat" with other games, I'm comparing them with the number of pictures in previous chapters. And you say that developers should not tell anything about their work at all, except: "we are working, wait for updates in the near future."
Yep, render counts really don't matter. All they're good for is giving people fodder to nitpick over. The only thing that matters is whether or not you are satisfied with the update (or more accurately, whether the patrons are satisfied). The number of renders in it is meaningless. If you must know how many renders are in an update, then the final render count will be posted when the update drops.
We were talking about render counts being provided in status updates. It's unnecessary information while the update is still in development for the reasons I've already explained so I'm not going to rehash it.
Hypotheticals besides... that's clearly not a problem with Summer Heat, is it? I think it's safe to say that the next SH update isn't going to have only 100 renders...
It's not unnecessary information to know how many renders they've produced. It wouldn't help to know when the update will be ready but it's useful information nonetheless. It gives an indicator on what they've worked on.
You're asking good questions. Why don't you ask them in person? somewhere in discord or here. Do they have some kind of production plan, a specific task or goal? how much and where to
