Thoughts on Breaking the Story into Three Parts?

Red-Handed Robin
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello again! I have a poll running on my twitter, but I wanted feedback here as well. 

So, even after eliminating a lot of stuff that isn't essential (as per the CG discussion earlier), I still have a lot of art to make for Red-Handed Robin. It turns out I'm bad at estimating how long it takes to do things T-T Backgrounds are a killer.

BUT! A large portion of what I need is for the tail end of the story. I'm toying with the idea of breaking the game into 3 parts instead of 2.

If I did that, the next part would come out fairly soon, and the wait between part 2 and 3 would be way less than the wait between parts 1 and 2.

I'm not 100% sure if that's what I want to do yet, so I'm interested to hear what people would prefer. Please let me know what you think in the comments!

Thanks again for being understanding as I fumble my way through this. I'm still learning a lot about my own process and limitations, but it's been a great distraction from the world. 

Anyway, here's another BG (this time from a Jay flashback) + a wip of mini Wren's sprite-
