Let me get this straight... You can play as 6 different characters?
And as the developer says in the intro
"a heavy choice driven game, designed to have multiple play throughs with largely different experiences".
This doesn't sound promising at all, because we will either have very small progress updates, or each update will take years.
I know theirs fears on abandonment and time.
and in my own experience playing visual novels, I have waited 6 months for what turned out to be about 10 minutes of play update.
The first day took about a month, and that was still while learning renpy and figuring out how I wanted it all built and played. and this last update took about week for the female route and 2 more endings. 2 weeks to a month per day I don't feel is that much of stretch for me if not sooner depending on the content of the day.
Rendering time is not an issue for honestly, currently sitting on 15,000 cuda cores and about to add another 5000. my computer is built specifically do this because of the comics, my biggest fear for me is a harddrive loss, or some other failure halfway though development of this, but am running nightly backups to 2 external drives.
I do understand the fears. I do. But I am extremely motived on this, and have made sure come april ill have all the time i need to work on this.
