It's possible that both things are true: Daphne (et al) are doing their level best and in good faith to resume the previous update schedule, and also the current economy and environment makes that difficult or impossible. Something has clearly impeded things.

I'd really love it if we saw the unreleased Starter Marriage material, at the very least.

When I see an AI-generated image that I recognize as being by AI, it massively cheapens and diminishes the image and whatever it's attached to, in my mind. I don't actually have a philosophical objection to AI images, it just triggers a 'this is garbage' emotional response which makes it very difficult to engage with. They call it slop for a reason: it communicates haste and laziness and lack of effort. That said, if I couldn't tell that something was AI-generated or looked AI-generated, I wouldn't feel cheated if I found out it was. After a certain point it's just another artistic tool. And for all I know I see AI-generated images all the time without realizing it, alongside the ones I do recognize.

We're still hard at work on Lessirova. It has an entirely new engine under the hood compared to Starter Marriage (let's just say I learned a lot from SM), so that's taking more time than I realized.

And then, there's the art.

Right now, we do not have an artist assigned to it. Art for a multipath game is a hard assignment: you have to be fast, good, and extremely reliable, and there aren't that many artists who hit all three. (Hi, PK!)

We are considering using AI assist for the artwork. We know that this is a hot-button topic, and we'd like to get some feedback about it here.

Updates coming shortly!

HIMMMM  Jakob is die?

I resigned when SJI resumed, in the hope that it might be the first steps back to normal with its weekly schedule resuming. The week isn’t over yet, but Tuesday has come and gone and Wednesday is near over as well…

It is extremely disappointing, I re-subbed 3 months in June cause it sounded like there were a ton of comics in the works and everything was on the edge of being back on track. There have been a lot of promises about releasing the full 48 issues in the 12 month time span, but we are actually starting to approach 12 months from when this whole thing started.

... and meanwhile, the new release cadence has again slowed far beyond the promised weekly schedule....

People’s opinions about AI make me very curious about the future of Lessirova. The poster teaser (which has since disappeared) seemed to suggest its images would be AI-generated. I wonder whether that approach will change because of people’s distaste for AI.
