Again, that's not a bottleneck. You're mistaking development for a bottleneck. The artwork is the fucking contents of the bottle, which upon delivery is then bottlenecked by what needs to be done with it. Whichever pieces of the process hold up progress at that point is the bottleneck. Look at a bottle. It's not a hard concept to figure out and insisting upon your incorrect view on it isn't going to magically make you any less wrong.

Do you know how, for example, a Disney movie is made? I guess not. In the earlier stages, no art is available or finished at all, only concept art (pencil drawn b&w still images). Nonetheless they already have a script and first scene arrangements, even dialogs are done as prototypes. They have something to work on and to present to stakeholders without even one single image ready.
The very same can be done without any problem in a renpy game. You only need to have placeholders as images (ideally with the same name already that the completed image will get) and you are all done. No coder, poser or writer has to wait on any image. Absolutely no bottleneck here.
What is more: as I said, art is already finished. One hundred percent. Done. Finito. So please explain again why this should hinder progress in any way...

I think you are talking past each other. Art is what determins the overall speed and as long as DC won't hire another artist, he could hire as many coders and posers as he wants and the overall speed wouldn't really change. If he needs 12 months to draw the main story art, thats about as long as the updates will take. To me that's a bottleneck, if other people prefer others words for it, so be it.

while waiting for the real one Version 3.04 let's you have more pregnant sex, this time with Josephine.Version 0.20.1-3.04:
- Bang Josephine when pregnant! Complete with sloppy seconds.
- Fixed the Tony introduction scene at pizzeria when it triggered late at night due to some strange circumstances (normally not possible).
- Small fixes to the game menu.
So, i have this very odd bug... I started the game today (patch 20.1), and every time i close the game and then load up a save, the school quests have all been reset.
If i go from one save to another, it doesn't do it. But if i reopen the entire program, it completely deletes it all, and i have to do all the french, music, science and things over again.
I haven't modded the game, and I redownloaded.

Yeah and how come that art is 100% finished and he already draws art for the next update? No 12 months that I see...

Close the game and delete the two files:
- %appdata%\RenPy\SummertimeSaga\persistent
- <Summertime Saga>\game\saves\persistent
You do not know what a bottleneck is. Development time is not a bottleneck. If that was the case then 100% of everything would be a bottleneck. Need to put on shoes? Well you better hope you already have socks on, if you wear them, otherwise your shoes are bottlenecked! Need to have lunch? Better hope your mom made you every lunch you'll ever eat for your entire life to avoid the bottleneck of having lunch. Hell, did you get a feeding tube installed? If not then you're going to experience the bottleneck of actually eating your food. Want to die at the age of 97? Too bad, you have to experience the bottleneck of living for 96 years first! Want to change your clothes? Well you're going to experience the bottleneck of taking your current clothing off to do so. And so on and so forth. The only time a bottleneck exists is when it's a hold up in the process, making the primary content of the game is not a hold up. The only time a bottleneck is actually a bottleneck would be when the various parts of a project are coming together and something holds them up. Which in this situation requires the artwork to be finished since it's the primary content of the game. Something being slow does not make it a bottleneck. Can certain aspects of the art be a bottleneck for the rest of it? Sure, but the art itself cannot bottleneck the rest of the game.

Jesus chalupa! Will you guys just stop trying to prove how you're right and the other guy is wrong?!
I've never seen such pointless arguments with only an intent to gank a thread!
Private messages exist for a reason. Now can we PLEASE get back to talking about that GAME?
You're not talking about the game. You're talking about bottlenecks, development time and how the other guy is wrong.
PLEASE STOP.

Because we aren't looking at one single update but at the whole development until it's done or at least at several updates. Right now DC is already drawing art for the next update(s) and right now the size of his teams fits the art. If he'd hire more coders and posers, for example, they'd probably sit on their hands most of the time. I mean, there's a reason why the team is actually smaller now, than it was at times, when he had two coders and 1 to 2 posers. I asked him myself a while ago if he'd consider replacing Dogeek but he said he'd only do if there's a need.
@Oriandu:
I think we talked past eachother massively. The base assumption is simply that DC can always hire more coders and posers but won't get a second artist. That's all we talk about. And by that definition the speed and time until the game is finished (fingers crossed) will be determined by how fast DC creates the art. If he needs another 4 years to draw all the art that's needed to finish, the game will be done in 4 years and a few weeks, no matter whether he expands his team or not.

What the actual buttfuck are you even doing ? No wonder the game is trying to commit sudoku everytime you start it up. And no update will fix that amount of trash you left with all the modding and 2-3 versions floating around your PC
