Most definitely NOT heading towards slumberland. In fact, I'll be back working on Whoremonger next week. It's only been two months since the last update here.
I realize many of you wish the pace was faster, but in all honesty... that won't happen anytime soon. I have a system that is starting to work pretty well, in terms of planning, rendering and building an update... And that takes about 2 months for each one. Working on just one or the other didn't work for me, as I started to feel burned out and after 8 or 9 weeks, I just wanted to step away. Between switching back and forth, and also making some hard limits for how many hours a day I spend on this... I found that this latest update for Dark Horse left me feeling pretty good the whole time.
Eventually, Whoremonger will be finished (possibly by this winter) and then shortly after that Dark Horse will be done. I have no desire to try and extend their development in any effort to "milk" them and in fact, I plan on doing some planning this winter for a new project to do when I am done these two. That project I will be working on alone, and it will probably be more of a game style and not a straight VN.
