Piggybacking off of what Deadman and Val said.
We can't omit the events for a few reasons. There are very few side events that won't be relevant to the overall story. Most will either foreshadow coming events, explain why a specific character does a specific action, shows the effects of the virus in some locations and so on. But yeah, the biggest issue we have with the events is getting the art done. Right now we only have White Vine working on them, only because we've learned I'm terrible with scene art.
We're constantly looking for more artists to help out but that has been a task in itself.
Also, Val has been working hard on developing a standalone program just for Pink, which has been a contributing factor. However, once that's finalized general development should be much faster.
