So it has taken roughly 3 months to get the next update to about 25%, if I assume that the development takes the same amount of time for the remaining 75% it will take around 1 year from start to finish for 0.8?

So since they said it will be out in 2025 I'm guessing around December this year?
It's not going to be a constant pace. Along the way things will slow down, the devs will take breaks, get sick, etc. The 25% is also just content, not polish which they spent *a lot* of time on for the last update. If I had to guess, it's probably at least a year from now. A 1.5 year update or so. Sad, but still somehow a major improvement from their last update. It's interesting how they've normalized this rate of progress when their earlier updates used to take just a few months while seemingly (at least as a player) similar in scope.

I don't think these estimations are fair. Writing is almost done, and the word count is about half of Gomira's quest. Not to mention that the development hell of the latest update can't be taken as a reference, including the abnormally long polishing phase in which they had to remake several scenes. That's not going to happen again (not in this update, at least), so I guess an October-November release would be reasonable, which would put this update roughly at the same timeframe as Rose's.

That would be great, and would surely help rebuild the trust of some disenchanted followers.

You are gonna tell me 75% of the update will be finished in 6-7 months? I find it hard to believe.
January/February 2026 would be my estimate, probably even later.

That seems like a more reasonable estimate.
Does anyone know if they're planning to release the Holly update in different parts. I've a vague memory of them saying they'd look into splitting future releases in different parts if the update looked like it might be rather large. Of course I could be mixing them up with a different developer.

They are not planning to split up Holly's update; 0.8 is planned for release this year, and I think it's quite likely they will meet that schedule, because this update is not going to be as large as Gomira's.

They promised a 2025 update so yeah, I think my estimations are perfectly reasonable.

They will split the next main story quest, so it will cover 0.9 and 0.10 (and maybe even 0.11)

Hilarious. There's no way this reflects actual human work

If the graph looks too "tidy, it's because these are averages of the number of tasks completed in each period This is so as to make a graph that displays the tendencies, to be able to project if it's getting better or worse.

In case you're interested, here you have the averaged data alongside with the actual number of tasks done per day in each period.

Also consider this only measures the changes in tasks left. For example, on April 18th they reduced the number of total content tasks from 1129 to 1098. That's why there's such a huge number of "tasks completed per day" in the second-to-last row. That's why I show the average number of tasks-per-day, to try and stop those kinds of data aberrations from distorting the pattern and giving a false sense of advancement.

I tend to like a bit of story and dialogue then i play, but this update was so insanely overkill. It was just 95% dialogue and 5% actual playing. Eventually i was just clicking though the dialogue because it was so much filler nonsense.
I can't agree with that because I have other games I follow as a reference point. Compared to them, text to image ratio of this game was satisfactory
