Let's be honest, 1.5 years to release an update is insane. You can call me a hater but I can't believe they retain their payer base with such schedule. They lose people who liked their game and a lot of potential subscribers.

Can you imagine seeing a new game with a fresh update, liking it, checking the release history, and after that SUBSCRIBING with the understanding that the next 10-hour update would be in 2025?

This game wouldn't be completed if they didn't change their way of doing things.

Pistachio's words this evening on Discord (for context, some user was asking about when they could expect translations to be ready after the update):

I just did a new word count and the game has 220,000 words of dialogue (just dialogue and not counting all the other texts such as hints, achievements, etc.). By comparison the 0.7 today has 58,000 words (that will change before the release), so that should give you an idea.

actually now that I see 0.7 will have almost 1/3 the number of words of the previous 6 releases combined, I think you should expect translators to take some time before they have it ready, even if they're not starting from scratch, and are available+intersted.

I'm actually a bit annoyed with myself. last update I thought we should reduce the quests from 3 to 2 to make the dev time faster, and instead we ended up making 2 large ones. do I like the quests? Yes, they're cinematic and --at least to me-- fun, but 99% of those texts need posing, art, and all the other elements that take time

The patreons voted for bigger updates that would take longer rather than small quick updates.
Why they voted that dumb option only god knows why.

I mean to be fair to the patreons they dont probably dint expect the wait to be this long but yeah,voting for large updates when small ones were a choice makes no sense.
Small updates are better for both the fans and the devs money wise.

when the patreons voted for for larger updates and longer update sequences nobody expected the IRL problems, maybe even the devs didn't imagine the health problem and the baby into their schedule. If you take the reports the magicnuts have tried to counter the delay with a reshuffling of work-time, also don't forget 0.7 is a very big update (a complete arc).
From my experience a reshuffling nearly always leads to longer dev-time, but maybe that's only my opinion after working for more than 40 years in a similar field.

Larger updates are okay, but lets keep it to max 12 months. Else we get hundreds of people complaining...

But I have to say 18 months for a green orc, it's not really my thing...

Well, you know why it was that long and that won't be the norm, and give her a chance, a lot of characters I don't like at first, but sometimes their story will change your mind. I didn't like the woodcutter's wife either, but her story was still fun, and I like her better now.

Yeh totally, I always mention the drunk elf lady, I didn't like her, but after her quests I really loved her. So we will see how this one goes...

I love her from first time. She is best girl in game for now. Her story is graet.
And I'm usually on curly dark haired girls :)

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm gonna go ahead and bet all future updates are > 1 year going forward. Firstly cause this game is quality and hand drawn (both of which take serious dev time), but also cause the Devs are pretty slow to produce content.

This game has a way to make you love literally any girl whose storyline you're going through, regardless of your first impressions. Right now, I feel nothing for the princess in the mirror. I hope that changes in the future
