They actually explained it in Discord. Something about the new sprite (the succubus one you interact with to watch the Halloween scenes) making them add new options in the script making old saves crash. This is probably a rough idea of what happened but if you really want to get into technicalities you better ask the dev himself.

I wasn't excited for the patch to begin with but i think its their worst one yet :/ And there was no spike in pledges either like usually when there is patch, so i think i'm not the only one?.
This doesn't fit the setting at all, its kinda poorly written too. Those orcs are just green humans but art is nice as whole. I feel like they wanted to make mini-games (would fit how they were excited for the patch) so they did.
The mini-games themselves could be better as well, this full solution to teleport one. Anyone can see pattern ? because i don't and without pattern its just boring memorize /write down exercise.

Other than the teleport puzzle, judging by their Discord and Twitter your opinion is not shared by most players but there's roughly 8 billion people in the world. Unless you can do something like cure all types of cancer, you're hardly the only to ever do anything.

You probably aren't the only one, but you aren't most certainly aren't a majority, there was a Patreon vote and your side lost.
These things happen, best to just deal with it and move on.
How do I start the Halloween patch?
Edit. Online their patch schedule says a pumpkin will be outside her house. Its actually inside and you just have to interact with it.

Overall a good update and definitely enjoyed playing it, but.. was expecting a complete finished side-quest and this is not finished. I understand that a lot of work went into making the maps and engine work for this side venture, but the build up had you lead to believe this was in the works for months in order to provide a major new update. Given all that time, it feels like more could have been done scene wise.
Guess we'll have to wait another year to see where this side quest goes, which is not what I was expecting to say with this update.

The problem is, that they didnt just have to make new CG like in a usual update, but also standing pictures, maps ect. I think that's why the update is fairly small content wise.

I mean, it says right in the patch notes that it's going to be a multi-update quest. It was always made clear that this was going to take a couple of years to complete.

I get that, but for the buildup and the dev talking up this update since this past summer, I was expecting something more complete. While a side-story with planned updates, conceptually this first update comes across as a half chapter in a side-story that will likely have 3 chapters. Even on twitter the dev is promising twice the content for next year with the background work done. Given the lead time that was made for this update, delivering half a chapter and promising to make up for it next year implies a necessary level of damage control for what was delivered.
I read the patch notes before too, and I understand this side-story will take 3 Halloween's to complete. My argument, as stated above, is this update is more a half chapter in a side-story that will be 3 chapters in length. It's an incomplete arc of a 3 arc story when you only have 3 episodes (updates) to deliver with. The background work is the justification for the reduced content/story, but then what about the large lead time taken behind the scenes to make this update? The past few updates were okay, and the dev hinted that part of the issue was the work being done on the Halloween side-story.
I dunno, I just think the ball was dropped along the way somewhere and that the real update that will meet the hype for this side-story is next years. Which kind of feeds into the problem with Patreon funded games, this one being no exception.

No one's forcing you to play it!!!!!!!!!
Alternatively they had to use the design team for other content such as busts and their Steam page just like they explained.
You're clearly overthinking this. They're not doing damage control and the patch size was not a surprise, that's just the way they do things and that's the way they always did things. Do the assets first and then focus on dishing out content. That's what they did with their map , scripts, story, etc.
You're one of the few people that thinks this patch was bad/underwhelming. People voted to have it created, vast majority won. Almost everyone who played it liked it aside from the teleport room. Don't take the idiot above as an example because he's asking for a diagram that is shown in game, or do if that's what you want to use as a term of comparison for your taste.
I just checked the picture folder to count them and there's 23 new busts. Unlike what you may think, these do not take 5 minutes to create.
What lead, mate? What problem with Patreon funded games? Last update had 18 hentai scenes. 18 hentai scenes in two months is not "okay". It's more than many games that take a year to make have in general. It's more than most completed games coming out lately on DLSite have, most of which with far less quality. It's sadly about as many scenes as Zombie's Retreat has and I have followed that game for over a year.
I just think you're not considering the workload or putting things in perspective. Yes, we all wanted more scenes, obviously.
No, we're not surprised by the size of the patch.

Honestly, seasonal and holiday-themed patches are not really a good idea. They're released way later than the actual holiday and it's a distraction from the other stories that need development or completion.
