I wouldn't say "may be"; it's definitely the same base model. Not that I care really, but I can't see how anyone would miss this.
I think it is a great model. Don't see any reason for using it only one time. If one needs an excuse, he can think about the models as as actresses reappearing in different movies :)

Loved the new update! Would love the see more relationship build up between girls!
The new update? Are you talking about Couples? The game for this thread is complete, so there won't be any more updates to it.

I agree. However, the same dev using it over and over in all of his VNs is like having Helena Bonham Carter in a ton of Tim Burton's films. I love her as an actress, but I got tired of seeing her all the time in everything he did. Just a personal preference, but I get tired of seeing this model so often TBH. There are plenty of other really good DAZ assets from which to choose, even free ones; you don't need to stick to just the one.

I was wondering if Catherine was always dubbed with Lady title before she married MC or did she gain the title after marriage?

Aren't her parents also nobles?
Yes, her parents are already nobles, so she was a Lady before marrying the MC. If anything the MC married up (in terms of titles, etc.), not the other way around.

0.36 SE?
Completed project?

So yet another developer who has no concept of versioning?

A completed project is at least v1.0.
A 0.36 version tag is a project in alpha. From around 0.6-0.8 depending on the project, a project becomes beta.

(Btw, 0.36 is not a designator for the 36th update, but the 36th release and each release would not rise the versioning by one. That part is flexible but again, a finished project is always 1.0 (and fixes/patches means it can go over).

yes completed as game has ending.

actual programs 1.0 means completed version but on avns versioning can start on 1.0 or 0.1 or 0.00000000001 or whatever dev wants.

This is an incredibly oversimplified run-down of versioning that doesn't even account for variance, depending on a developer's preference. There are to version your software; even OSes like don't follow the "always 1.0" that you're claiming (the original release was 1507). There might be an industry standard for something like a VN, but that doesn't mean a developer has to follow it.

Just no

And this is just good old plain nonsense.

Having 1.0 as target would require a plan for the game (ok, in this case 'story') and most patreon projects don't have that.
They just write / render on the fly, only have a rough concept about what they want to do.

They could have named the versions 1 .. 36, but because of people like you who expect 1 to be the final version, the devs switch to the 0.1 format.
Version is nothing but a number (or not even that, let's say "designation"), could be PI or the Euler-number or the Golden number, for all I care. The only purpose of a version number is to know what's in it.
They could also name them after friends without using numbers at all, like the founder of Ikea. He named the products after his employees, since he had a problem reading product numbers, this way he could remember them.

My project has a current version number like 2023.02.1356

What you are saying here is that the version number acts as a progress bar for how completed the VN is. Never once in any VN, nor any other software ever, have I seen that, and I have legitimately no idea where you could ever find examples to back up stating that as if it is a common fact.

A version number should be plain and simple. It's a unique identifier of that specific build of the game. It can be , a timestamp, hash, build number, chapter, I don't care. As long as it's unique, it's a usable version number. (It'd be much preferred if a version number always increased from one build to the next, but this isn't necessarily required.)

If the version acts as a progress bar, however, that means it can go forward and backward as the scope of the game/software changes.

Lets say a game is 20% completed, but the dev changes their plans and decides to add a lot more content. In that case, a game that was at v0.20 can then become v0.10 with the next update. The v0.10 update is still a newer version with more content, but since the number is lower, it'll appear that it's an older version of the game. (Worse yet if there was a previous v0.10!)

If, however, the dev used just about any other versioning system, there would be little, if any, confusion at what is the newest version of the game.

Actually, it would be nice for players if there were a standard for release numbering that all developers adhered to. Since that's never going to happen, we just have to live with what we are given. No use complaining about it.
true but doubt all devs would adhere that.

Just playing devil's advocate over here, but NLT keeps track of “completion” in his version numbers. So the last update of The Genesis Order, which is 57011, indicates “57% completion”. Only instance of this I've seen myself, however.
