The world's smallest development update
🕑 Added 2023-01-24 19:27:36 +0000 UTCI thought I'd give an explicit, numbers update simply for the sake of clarity.
I apologize for making you wait so long for Episode 1, but it really is that much of an undertaking. It's arguably twice as big as it should be, with a predicted final render count of 1,700 - 2,000.
Let me be clear with you regarding how much progress I have made so far.
Episode 1 currently has 1,363 complete renders and 51 complete animations.
I have completed 7 of the 11 chapters I have planned for episode 1. Chapter 8 will be short, chapters 9 and 10 will be a longer chapter split into 2 parts, and chapter 11 will be the first sex scene + ending.
I am brainstorming ways to make chapters 9-11 shorter and will try my best to cut down on that development time.
By all rights, episode 1 should probably be two episodes, however, I didn't think it'd be a satisfying amount of story.
I'm trying to make this a high-quality game, with presentation consistent or better than what you see in the demo. Which in turn leads to slower development.
Believe what you will, but I have not been slacking.
Once you see the completed product you will hopefully understand that 4-5 months is reasonable for such a project. Especially considering that I have done everything by myself.
What I've learned from episode 1 is that I should try to be more concise for future episodes. Hopefully keeping us in a more consistent 4-ish month cycle.
