Hello friends.
+6% progress to level 1 in the piggy bank this week as well. Work is moving along, not much to tell.
You can see the actual figures of the TOTAL progress at the link

. There you can clearly see the stage of development of the next version of the game. It lists all the work that needs to be completed, as well as a brief description of it.
Any questions you may have, ask in the comments and I will answer them.
What's been done this week:
+I continue to work on checking the remaining scenes.
+Corrected and finalised 1 scene (1 FreeRoam scene).
+Artists and I continue to finalise fixes, this work is ongoing.
+Rendered and prepared for further processing 4 scenes (1 story scene and 3 FreeRoam scenes). owever, an important thing to mention, almost all renders for scenes are ready, but a scene is not considered fully rendered until all animations in that scene are rendered as well. So there are still scenes with animations left, which means the progress of this block will slow down a bit.
+Rendering work continues.
+Processed 15 scenes (6 story scenes, 9 FreeRoam scenes).
+Work on processing continues.
+Colour correction of 26 scenes (12 story scenes, 6 FreeRoam scenes, 8 minor scenes).
+Work on colour correction continues.
+Assembled 3 scenes into code (3 story scenes).
+Work on assembling scenes into code continues.

With great gratitude, Super Alex.

It's to fast, we need The CONNOR to fix this! 4.5% per year would not put so much pressure on the developers!

They need to ditch the sandbox element. It's been five years at this point and the update is still months away. The updates themselves are also really short. How much of development has been dedicated to the sandbox part of the game? I'm sure lots of it. This is the perfect opportunity to strip out the sandbox element. It would cut down on the remaster time, ensure larger updates with shorter development times, and finally, finally, get to sex with the main love interests. The dev won't do this because he is incapable of making good decisions, unfortunately. It's just such an obvious solution to the game's problems.

Can anyone explain the development update to me? I have no idea what's going on. they are talking about lots of animations and renders, but are they just remastering old scenes? Or is this update gonna be a bunch of new content with graphical upgrade? The dev logs don't make sense to me

Super Alex is really a great artist, these characters are super well done hot, and animations are good. But yeah as a manager this shit is atrocious, the sandbox after all these years feels bare bones buggy and pointless

I agree, don't make it grindy or time-lock events because making players keep clicking around and skipping days just to get to the next content isn't very fun. If the dev wants to sandbox then make it easier for players to proceed to the next event or a very detailed guide to proceed faster.

the renders/ characters are amazing but that's it. we still have zero ideas on The main plot hasn't gone anywhere
1. how MC got in a coma
2. what is Mc's mom doing while he is in a coma
3. is/ was MC in some kind of lesbian club/ strip club?
4. still don't know how far my relationship with Kate/ Alex and MC is.

The free roaming aspect is the reason why I started playing this game and is the reason why I still have hopes. Don't need another VN, there are plenty.

Too much math for me. 6% this and that, and still i know absolutely nothing abut the update. Confusing us for no reason with all these changes, and these vague percentages and levels, etc.

Progress Report 12_1.jpg
Hello friends.

+3% progress to level 1 in the piggy bank this week. Work has slowed down, it's hard to make plans around the holidays. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you in the New Year!

As expected, this increases his milking periods. Give fake reason and start all over again and make everybody wait and pay again. Do you really think he couldn't do the "remastered" in the place? Of course he can, he gave low quality images first then replace with better ones he already has and voila new "product"

I've long felt that the dev's progress updates are incomprehensible. The dev lists seven steps, each with seven sub-steps. How long should each of those take? "Verification" is "checking scenes for revisions and corrections." What does that really entail? Is it related to the art or the story or both? Same with "Correction." What is being corrected? Is it simply things that are errors or does that include anything that the dev feels can be improved?

The dev says that "Total Progress 1" is 69% complete. However, this is just the average of the level of completeness of the seven steps (100%, 97%, 94%, 96%, 92%, 3%, 0%). I'm not a game dev, but I seriously doubt that coding takes as long as rendering, and verification takes as long as color correction. It seems like it should be closer to 90% than to 70%.

How much content is there in Level 1 vs. Level 2? Is it equal? Is Level 2 twice as large? Is Level 1 100% remaster and Level 2 100% new content? Did the dev add new content for Level 1? Is there some existing content that counts as part of Level 2?

I read these progress reports and I have no concept of when we can expect the update. Part of me feels like progress has been really solid and part of me feels like we won't get the update for 10 months.

Yeah it is weird and sketchy. Should have just continued the game as it was.
But what do i know, maybe he makes it better, it was very annoying to unlock certain story progressions when you had to be somewhere at a certain day at a certain time.

Anyways the biggest reason i played and loved the game so far are top quality renders and animations, hope that stays the same quality.

I am not sure what he is doing with this remaster either , but one thing i am sure is that he did not first give low quality images. Because Amnesia´s renders and animations are among the best i have seen. And i have played many, many games.
