Most anybody knows is it's "supposed" to release sometime at the end of this year but who knows? As of right now, Fen's only fleshed out I think 2 scenes and a couple of character stats/perks. -shrugs- The wait is going to kill alot of people I think, me included.
Well basically TiTS is like a lot of games in that regard. Wether they are a hobby project or a large scale commercial product.
Given the funding he has to have a go a it, he has to be even more professional about how he handles this than his approach to CoC was. (Hell, if remember correctly TiTS got either the largest or second largest amount of funding a project ever received on Offbeatr.) The organization alone given taxes, legal stuff and so on takes time. And that's even before he can start to work on the game itself.
Next is the groundwork programming. Though he can use a lot of the things he learned during making CoC here, I guess. Still this means for example acombat system - which he has a souped up version compared to CoC already, if i understood correctly. Inventory, travelling, shops, your ship, you name it. A dramatis personae to start with (which can be added to later, but some has to be there from the start).
And all that doesn't even include anything else than parameters and placeholders for the actual sexscenes. (I'm sure someone with more programming experience than me can tell you a lot more about this aspect.)
All of these things take time, and this isn't even a full list of " to do" stuff, just some examples. And in between, he's working on the scenes and story we're all waiting for.
I wasn't around when he startet with CoC, found out about it only after it was up an running already, so I don't know how much of actually playable game he had when he started with CoC. Or when he turned it into his fulltime job.
But with TiTS people will expect to have something more than just a handful of fights and sexscenes to start with. At least I presume so, given the scale of the whole thing.
Personally I would'nt mind something smaller to look at, but in the meantime there's always the stuff in the TiTS forum subsection of his blog to read.
In addition, I think he just has to get into gear with the whole TiTS business and that he'll pick up more momentum as he goes. Patience is the keyword, as with so many other things in life.
Please be advised, this is my personal view/opinion about these matters and in NO WAY AT ALL reflects Fen's actual plans/thoughts on the subject. Because those I simply don't know.
In addition, if I misinterpreted your statement, I apologize for writing all this without any particular reason and costing everybody who read it valuable time of their lives.
