Devlog 5 Why updates are slow?


Hi Guys, the next release date is mid-September. The reason why is taking a long time is life is taking a toll. As of now, I've graduated a month ago and got a 9 to 5 job as a Software developer, while the other member is also working. Meaning we have less time to work on this project than before.
Creating this VN is a process from asset creation, animation (make sure they look good), FX, sound and music require lots of R&D before even attempting to render which is another game altogether.
We definitely learned so much and feel like the VN can be improved further. Chapters 0 and 1 need huge improvement in terms of quality and sex animations are dead. For chapter 2 the block off route has now been added just creating some nice sex animations (lol). Also, any feedback on how long an update should be will allow me to plan, on how each update should commence. Before the idea was chapter by chapter this has not worked really. So we are thinking that we might update route by route instead of the chapter by chapter. As currently, each release has been chapter by a chapter basis. So I'm in full planning mode for the future, this project will not be abandoned, I've invested too much of my time on it and love doing it. This is why I want this to be a really awesome VN, the overall quality has to be there.

Congrats on graduating lad, is totally understandeable. 

It's completely understandable, man. Gotta make a living somehow, and congratulations for graduating, btw. Good to know you already got a job 'cause depending on where you live, it can be a hit or miss or something sure to happen.

About the VN itself, if you think that chapter by chapter is not working then, based on the games that I've played, the "safest" route would be a day system (which falls on the route by route system). This one is used by big games like My New Family and Sisterly Lust (yea, call me a weirdo just 'cause I play incest games) and it works out fine. 

The big problem with this plan is that people might end up complaining either that days are too short OR the update itself is short depending on how many days you add, but my personal approach would be ignoring this type of feedback since it's based on how much you can do, people will have to understand. And if you go with this plan, I'd say that 2 days per update would be more than enough for now, given that they have substance and good progress to the plot. 

Thanks, this going to help me make my decision for our updates should go forth. I can also invest in a better graphic card which should allow faster renders lol.
