I won't rush it. Even if the PCs are faster, writing the dialogue takes time and consideration. Rushing this part of the development process would be very bad for the game as the story is the pillar. The extra computational power allows me to fill the game with the content I truly want for it, while I can take the time I need to write on top of that. I hope it will reduce stress rather than add to it. But it's a new way of working and I can't have the same mindset as before, where I had to have PCs up and running 24/7 for efficiency. So, my current struggle is to shake that old habit that's been my way of working for almost 3 years and to find a healthy balance. At some point in the episode development, the PCs will be idle and I will have to accept that.

Please don't ever feel rushed to put out more content I would prefer that you take your time. I don't mind waiting as long as the outcome is exactly the way you wanted it.

dude i know right, i seriously think visual novels are basically turning into what Cyberpunk is and those type of games will be the future

you know we will, that crazy warning when you first play the game about being in a 'dark' place.... yea we will see eventually what that warning is referring to... I'll prolly have to get professional help after one of these amazing characters has doom befall them

I just feel sorry for those poor souls that had to sit and wait for the final episodes of Acting Lessons, with their hearts smashed into pieces. Even though the final product is amazing, the wait must have been terrible. I wish we don't have to go through something similar.

With the way you are going about it, maybe it will be as much content with a quicker release than episode 6. Who knows? I'm not rushing it. Just pleased you were able to take t to the next level. Which is always good no matter how good the work that is already presented. Looking forward to more! The way the story is progressing, it's like the further I get, the more I'm eager to see what happens next.

It all depends on how much time the manual work takes. That varies per episode as well. New features adds development time for one and we've never had an episode where manual work was the bottleneck. I will utilize the cards to pack the episode with content (longer/more animations). I'm not primarily aiming to cut development time. So, time will tell how long it takes.

Gritty1983

with dpc getting new cards it will be faster than that for sure. keep in mind episode 6 was larger than the average episode. I bet we see episode 7 by Feb/March

T'Gran

Damn, to think there's another 3 to 5 months to wait for another episode. And with such a dramatic cliffhanger. Such a torture...

Jamison

DPC, I think we are all excited over the new render times. It is a very nice bump indeed. I'm also glad that you still have the passion after 6 episodes, can't think of a better dev to support. Lastly, Merry Christmas to you and yours.

The fact that you can spend time with your family warms my heart. To read that you can breeze through what used to be busy work fills me with joy. Knowing of your drive to improve your already impresive acumen I am fantasazing about how you will surprise us next.

Hello Dr! Thank you for your regular posts :)
