Maybe he means the update after won't come so much faster.
We have no idea how steam version is going.
It can take more than just 1-2 months.

This developer expressed the period of work on the Steam version as "rest." (or add a rest)
I said that since this is the last update before going into work on the Steam version, this developer should and will give patrons a special and bold bonus.
(So far, it's disappointing.)
I'm guessing that the "rest" period will increase as the capacity of this update increases, and even if this developer simply reduce the events of the Patreon version, this developer will have to touch up the dialogue, route, and coding (or programming?).
Also, partial/full modeling retouch is confirmed.
And I'm hoping they'll add events to the Steam version that aren't in the Patreon version.
(This is why I'm hoping for a Steam version and I'll be disappointed if there isn't it.)
So I'm guessing this developer will have 2-3 weeks of vacation after updating the game, plus 3 months (minimum) of Steam work on top of the 3 months (average) it will take to work on the next update.
Additional days, such as the period for recruiting employees, may be added to this.
(This developer has been unable to get the employees he wants for 7 years.)
And I am guessing that this developer will do everything sequentially rather than all at once/simultaneously.

IF he'll ever be able to release on Steam, which is very questionable to say the least, I'd imagine he'd release the game in parts. And since he's doing a graphical overhaul aswell as having to change quite alot (remove incest, school settings, illegallly used logos/brands, certain storylines+writing etc.), this is gonna be a massive task.
If he wants to continue working on the Patreon version (AWAM+DoL) while also working on a Steam-friendly version simultaneously, one can expect the development to go probably at half the speed it currently is, or atleast 30% slower, and as we all know it's already going abysmal with an estimated completion of the game in 40+ years. So yeah, with Steam I'd expect it to go all the way up to 60-80 years. And those numbers are only going up considering he's been getting slower for years. 2023 will likely end up with 30% less overall renders compared to 2022. That is an annual drop in quantity, happening for the past ~4 years.
But, you know, L&P saying he's cutting out some arcs to increase speed while on the other hand adding even more Dylan content is just the usual nonsense, so whatever he's planning, I only believe it when I see it. Which means one can barely believe anything as he's talking crap most of the time anyway. Proof is in the pudding, as they say.
To answer your question: Probably 50 bucks atleast, knowing L&P thinks of himself as a AAA+ company, the guy who invented the wheel. The man who'd have Picasso and DaVinci on their knees, begging for him to share his endless wisdom and talent for art. He's the best, and everybody else is playing catch-up. (Spoiler: He's not. He's just full of shit.)

Hopefully the dev doesn't spend any time working on a Steam version until after the game is complete because it would be a waste of time and money if after all that work Steam decides to not allow/kick the game from the the platform. I've been hearing more stories of adult games that would appear ok getting the boot.
It's been so long since I've had a reason to play this game that I'd like to ask what is the bonus story and how do you start it?

I don't know.
But one game with an ending and a sex scene sold for $10.
I think even if AWAM sells for $100, it's cheaper than sponsoring this game.
But since there are no sex scenes and the story is barely in its infancy, this developer won't be able to sell this game for a high price.
And this developer said he would retouch the modeling of some characters and delete some content in order to upload the game to the Steam site, but doing so would actually lower the value of the game.
But he will, because this developer's opinion is that if he doesn't, he won't be able to upload the game to the Steam site. (But I don't know.)
And that will be reflected in the price.

Tbh I hope he does, that’s kinda the only thing that would save this update just a little bit just for it to make some sense for a future connection I guess.

Yep, if it's focused on Ellie as the main love interest at least make her go far. Ellie jerking her brother off would be gold, but I doubt we will get that

Is the plan. I already have a NotTeaser of Christine naked in the Fan Art thread. Only problem is that I'm bad at character identification for Naomi and Aimee. Done the hair, some of the clothes, but that's all I've managed so far.
It's considered "bonus" because it was one of the first branches off the Dylan route that wasn't part of Sophia's story. I don't play it, since one of the requirements is that you keep Dylan at Northtown High and not send him to boarding school. In fact all the requirements are part of the Dylan route, for example you also need to traumatise Ellie by having her walk in on Dylan in the bathroom on day 4 and have her take vengeance on him at the beach.
I'm not going to put either of them through that.
Essentially the storyline is Ellie and Christine having a personality transplant and developing a liking for Dylan. I still believe it's idiotic that in the short time the bonus storyline is meant to take place that something like this can happen. But then personally I would have liked to have seen instead some of the backstory as to why Ellie hates Dylan so much.

I'd be more inclined to believe that at this rate, clothes might be about to come off, but they get interrupted by someone like Christine's mom coming home or one of the boyfriends and everyone says goodnight.
At best we might see two of Ellie's friends naked, maybe Christine, before the interruption.

Actually, the best outcome of the story line between Ellie/Dylan would be something that changes their relationship that can open possibilities.
Ellie's character really isn't that well defined, and this upcoming release can better mold her character's personality. Ellie is your somewhat normal girl (leaving aside her strange relationship and feelings with Sophia) ... Ellie likes being popular, is attracted to charismatic boys.... and likes them a little on the "bad boy" side and normally likes them a little older. Basically, everything Dylan is not.
A few things that work in favor of Dylan is first she isn't the only "hottie" in the group. So, Ellie getting a little jealous over some attention being shared with the other girls plays into an attitude change about Dylan. Second, a "discovery" Ellie can make from Dylan. Let's assume Ellie's dare is to make out with Dylan Infront of the girls--perhaps one of the girls would try and humiliate Ellie in making such a dare. Since Dylan is somewhat practiced in kissing, Ellie could be surprised and take some real pleasure from it.
But generally, you are right that something big enough has to happen (a hand job aside) has to occur to put the question in Ellie's mind about Dylan if there really is going to be in the game an Ellie/Dylan path. Another thing going for Dylan would be is with Ellie things happen fast and there isn't much hesitation on Ellie's part to go for it, as witnessed with Ellie and Sophie's shower.
So if Dylan surprises Ellie... And Ellie is still reeling from Logan's betrayal and liking someone "safer" with her feelings like Dylan that leaves open a spot in the story when Ellie and Ellie are alone and start to talk about the party. From there Ellie could decide to make sure things are as she thinks they are and try some experimentation with Dylan... hopefully by that time Dylan has gotten laid by someone to use his experiences on Ellie
