I apologize if this was stated at some point previously but how much of the in game day is supposed to be played out in this update? Also It may just be the anticipation but I feel like this update is taking longer than the previous. But I could be totally mislead in that feeling.

Not yet, but seems like will really take almost the same amount of time the last update, despite they said this update will be shorter than previous one. Really disappointment after the slog of last dev cycle and the whole talk/promisse about "next update will be shorter and faster"
Again, good riddance to everyone who complaint about the first updates and pressure devs until they change their development approach. You just turn this the #1354678 game that updates once for year.

In previous updates the problem was that the statuses said practically nothing, every week the status update says: "Hello, we are making great progress and everything is going perfectly", that is why the progress bars were chosen to obtain more details but if you don't know using them in my opinion is worse. Using the bars to estimate should be (in the case of the render bar): "We have to make 8 scenes for this 0.6, okay, every time we finish a scene, we increase the render bar by 12.5%."
In the public's dream, the ideal would be for them to know the number of renders they have to do before starting, but I find that very difficult, especially because developers always add extra scenes.
If estimating progress is not your strong point, you should go back to the previous formula, otherwise people are going to complain about a 1% progress or now a 0.1% progress, because in 4 months 90% of the renders were made and the missing 10% is taking longer than the 5 minutes for namek (Namekku-sei) to explode.
We must also not forget that this update was going to be shorter and arrive in less time, never say that again if you cannot fulfill it, because you are giving the opportunity to complaints

Bro what is the point of the progress bar, it looks like they are doing 1% per week now... it is pretty obvious that they are making numbers up by now... If this update is even shorter than the last one then this will take 10+ years to complete...

If I'm not mistaken, it was the subscribers who chose to have more content time, it's better to have 1500/3000 renders than to have 600/900,But they are taking a long time for a short update.

I don't mind a progress bar even an inaccurate one it still gives a general idea how they are doing
you should mind. a progress bar should ALWAYS come with a timeline..otherwise, they could just say, itll take 9 more years to render 70 images or something. im already disappointed by the lack of big titty teacher in the upcoming update. its a double whammy when i dont even know when i will be disappointed by the new update

I just dont see the big deal personally. How I see a progress bar for any dev is an estimated timeframe and how much progress they think they are making. I never think any progress bar is accurate as things can change or shit happen in the blink of an eye. Especially with solo indie dev's

aside from us being cool with whatever time they need for free things we get.... them being indie doesnt mean they dont/shouldnt know how to structure their projects or atleast let their paying customers know WHEN theyll be coming out with an update. this is a problem that has been solved, lets not pretend they need to reinvent the wheel and figure out how electricity works everytime they need to make an update without the big titty teacher
