They did talk about commissioning some of the art so that might help with getting the extra art done faster. Link below to the posting where someone posted from the devs updates.
Art for backgrounds. That won't do much when they get into the lewds and/or all the new models they'll need for the dialogs
When you have 280 Art tasks and you can outsource some of it instead of doing it all like you normally do that can give some help in working it in parallel. Take any game where you can do any kind of production/industry for example. If you can get a separate production line going for even just a part of what you are looking to produce it can help shorted the time until everything is complete.
Ya that might help if they can get the right artist. After a month or 2 they should get a good feel for how their progress is going and what's a reasonable time frame on completion may be. If it's looking like it could be a year or more though I'd prefer if they released a part 1 after 6 months and the full route later whenever it's finished.
Commission a background that'll take a few days/a week maybe at most, versus nuts having to take months to make all the girl art that uses said background. Not much of an improvement, they saved ~1 week in a 1-year dev cycle
We have to take into account that the number of tasks isn't constant. The picture above is from when the update was finished.
Is there a tag for it (other than the one on "Planned Content") in the OP? No? I wonder why...
thanks, i was hoping holly would win. second choice would be maple.
