To be honest, it's far passed the point where the dev is writing too much and taking too long to translate it. I like the writing in the game too, but the branching paths have added exponentially more to the script as time has gone on, bloating the writing process more and more. Once everything is done the update is then left sitting around while the dev takes an equally egregious time to then translate the whole script into English. I really want to give the dev the benefit of the doubt that he's not just milking his supporters, but something really needs to change. Updates for this game have gone from every few months to twice a year if we're lucky, and the scope of the game has not changed at all. There's no gameplay, there's no special mechanics, it's just a pure visual novel with far too much time being spent on the script. I really don't want this game to die. It looks so much better than other HS2 games, which is to me where it really shines, idk how this dev does so much more with literally the same models. But with updates just taking longer and longer along with the dev having bouts of sudden disappearance or panic, I'm losing a lot of faith in the whole project.
