I had some annoying distractions this week, but I also realized some of these later renders just take more time to create. Lots of switching between different poses, multiple characters, background characters, switching between locations, etc.
I have to push back the release date one more time, unfortunately. After I'm done with renders I'll need probably around 2 more weeks to finish post-processing, sound and polish, so September is not gonna happen, sorry. I'm very aware that development of this episode has been pretty messy, so let me assure you once more that Ep. 7 will be a lot smaller again, with a development time closer to those of Ep. 1-5.
鉂わ笍 Thanks for your support and patience, and enjoy your weekend! 鉂わ笍

Better to push back for care of quality, then to rush and make a subpar experience.
APK please release
That is literally not a good look for you. You have done your updates every 4/5 months. But when you said this update would the biggest, yes we knew/expected it take longer than 4/5 months. But this took a WHOLE year to finish. You've had setbacks and pc trouble which is what every dev goes through which is fine, but taking a whole to finish an update is really bad for you. The only way for you to bounce back is to promise when the update is released, is that you'll never do big updates like this ever again BUT if you have to, then maybe release the update in 2/3 parts
Yo chill out, quality work and branching games take a long time to develop. If you can't stand waiting then maybe only play completed games and then support the devs by purchasing or donating then. Everyone else is here to encourage a wonderful dev as they struggle to make one of the best games we have played. It is inevitable in any game's multi year development that there will be slower periods.
I appreciate your communication. :) You're doing quality work. Just keep it up and you have my patience and support. I'm super excited to see this party whenever it is released. :)
Very good you decided to push back the release. No need to rush things at this point any more. Take the time and deliver the superior update Ashe deserves.
I am willing to forgive you... If you show us more renders of that beauty from Preview #22! :p
This is unacceptable! 馃槫 Only way to redeem yourself is by releasing some Natasha renders 馃槈
Yea.. what he said! 馃憖
