Is there any progress of the game expect pumping out animations?
According to their monthly updates, the majority of their time is spent on implementing the story into quests. The animations that are getting added now are to fill missing ones for the quests that are being written. As well as a lot of their efforts are going into the environment in which the quests take place. At this point the Animations that are getting pumped out, are a byproduct of the related quest that is being developed. I haven't actually done any of the quests that are currently in the game, but by the way they talk about them, if you do decide to do them right now, you are entering spoiler territory, meaning there has to be enough story, and quests for you get spoiled by some means. But most of their updates are always talking about quests that have been implemented. The Animations just end up being at the top of their changelogs. For example if you look at the latest changelog, you will see all of the new assets and animations under "Additions," and a boat load of quest related stuff under "Improvement's."
The other side of the coin, is that people seem to very vocal about the "Sandbox" experience being their go to on patreon. So they seem to highlight sandbox implementation more then main story progression as part of their changelogs.
Atleast that's my interpretations of their monthly updates and release changelogs.
