... right?

With my luck who knows what kind of a vehicle will run me over on another day again

Time and quality for me. I dont mind paying a bit if the results are satisfactory and it doesn't take a decade. That said, I would rather wait than lose quality.

So it's either Time, free and Quality, Time, moniez and Quality, or Quick, free and QUALITY?

No, it's 3 variables, and you can constrain two at most.

Cost is already constrained; nobody is getting paid, the only major expense I can see is this website, so Cost is near zero.

Quality is set to be "high."

This means Time is unconstrained, i.e. it will take as long as it takes.

know that, I just wanted to take a shot at QUALITY.

I dunno, Lily's path is already complete. The other girls can't be too far behind. I wonder if we'll see it by the end of 2010.

That's only for the second act, though. There's 5 of the things for a full game.

I'm completely sure that meant the entire path. Alot of comments seem to be in my way of thinking, and the comment from the devs didn't correct anybody. Also,

"Lilly path second draft is now complete. All scenes are now completely written for her."

Keyword: path

Ah, looks like I was mistaken. My apologies.

Yes, what I have come to understand is that the path for Lilly is done in the script format but there is still art, amoung other things left to complete; most probable is the H-scene/s CG.

It's not going to be animated, right? The CGs, I mean.

One of the devs would be able to give a more confident answer, but what I have come to understand is it will consist of standard CG that you are most familiar with in a typical VN.

It will consist of standard CGs that you are most familiar with in a typical VN. Animation is too difficult to make look any good on our art budget, and in VNs more often than not looks worse than still CGs anyway (see: School Days versus White Album 2).

I'm looking forward to it. I already loved the CGs in Act 1 (especially the one of Lilly drinking tea with the setting sun shining through the window and the one with Shizune and Misha sitting at a table). If the CGs in the full game will be that good, it's going to be awesome.

Unfortunately all the CG's they made for Act 1 completely dried up their art budget, the rest of the art for the full game will now look like the art in the Higurashi VN.
