REBORN: Status Update Act 2

Latest development news...
I have started creating another lewd scene. So far 3 animations have been created and 2 are in the render queue. I had to create additional environments and expose lights. I even resorted to modeling as the item I needed was not available in the libraries. Interesting experience.
At the moment I've finished the free movement code and am in the process of designing the puzzle. I need to render the pictures and separate them into layers. Also writing the code for that.
This week I got a very interesting message with a funny claim. A player who played my game said he liked it and was looking forward to the sequel. But he accused me of taking a very long time to do the update and that everything could be done faster. He had one argument - AI. Allegedly AI can do everything for me. Very funny, huh. Receiving such messages is a bit frustrating, but it also makes you realize that players (most of them) have no idea how much work goes into game development. Namely:
1) Writing the story, dialog, plot construction and branching development.
3) Creating characters in a 3d editor.
4) Creating locations (environments, lighting).
5) Character posing.
6) Camera placement.
7) Quality rendering.
8) Creating animations.
9) Processing of finished frames (Photoshop, video editors).
10) Writing working(!!!) code.
11) Combining art/animation and code.
12) UX/UI design.
13) Promotion of the game (marketing, social networking, etc.).
Each of these items can be subdivided into several more. I have written out only the main ones. And yes, I do all this completely alone. If there was an AI capable of doing any of these things the way they need to be done, then of course everyone would use it. But there isn't. At least not that I know of.
In his post, the player gave some examples of games. Now, there are entire COMMANDS working on all of them. They have already created studios to create projects. I do not have such opportunities. So the game is developing at the pace at which I can do it. I hope I was able to get the information across.
Voting for the girl of the month will end very soon. We have an even fight. And right now, any vote could be the deciding vote.
Have a fun weekend, everyone!
