I get you want it to be released asap just like other fans here too but please understand the creator Starke just had a very unfortunate circumstance that has happened. Give it some patience, some room for the developer for a tough time.

- Start date
No matter the circumstances the patch release is always late. Most people are not upset by this, especially since the developer does come through in the end(and most are not patreons anyways). It's just a fact of life and something you'd think the developer would have compensated for by now with more accurate scheduling.

Oh! I haven't gotten very far into the game, but, is Blonde Ayame going to be an option in the future? Or, can you already do that and this is just an extension?~

So he should've compensated for the pandemic and the death of his father?
Most developers out there give you 20 minutes of gameplay if that much, I'm being generous here! For releases anywhere between 3 to 6 months.
Heaven Studios releases patches bigger than many full games out there every two months are you're giving them shit for a few days delay when the guy just lost his father.
No one wants this patch any more than I do but in this case I think there's a saying in Portuguese that sums it up perfectly: "When you shut the fuck up, you're a poet".

> you're giving them shit for a few days delay
I made it clear I'm not giving them shit and gave them credit where credit is due. I personally do not care when they release but just find it amusing when they have not been able to follow their expected release dates for several years now no matter how sure they are of a release date.
It's rare to find games adhering to a consistent release cycle so it's pretty nice that they are able to. It would serve them better to not put due dates they can not meet however rather than divulge personal information each time to explain delays.

You white knight harder than anybody I've seen on this forum.
The criticism was leveled at their long-standing history of missed deadlines, not the most recent event exclusively. It's valid.

They actually were sticking to schedule until when his mother died, that caused a huge delay of almost a month if I recall correctly. After this they had a hard time catching up and kept closing the gap until this February actually. This patch they announced for Tuesday but the dude's father died. Even by legal terms you're given a full week off, he asked for a few days. Every time they had delays he was transparent about it. It's their choice and I for one appreciate it. Every time he posted proof of what caused the delays because people didn't take it at face value, just saying we're too quick to jump the gun here.
You clearly haven't been to many other threads. I can give you examples in PM if you really want to argue about that.

Sometimes arguing or giving an explanation to some people is like talking to a pigeon. No matter what you say, it will just don't understand and continue to shit everywhere.
It is true that there are minor setbacks in the release date itself often. Schedule is however fully maintained.
And for somebody to lose a family member litually a day before a certain release date, that will cause a delay whoever the developer is.
And NOBODY can predict a death and take that into the account of a release date for their project. So please stop saying stupid things like they should have predicted this.. since you can't.. its called life and shit happens sometimes.
The team typical put out 12 scenes per patch(each 2nd month).
Patch 0.98 will be way above that, you will see soon enough.... don't wanna say an incorrect number, but its much higher for this patch then normal.
Anyway... in other news, chance for a 2nd animated scene to come into this patch after speaking with Starke yesterday. We will see soon enough.

If you are just one employee of many you don't need to worry about when you take your sick leave or other circumstantial days off. Your boss needs to worry about that that the whole thing keeps running and deadlines are met.
Now we can argue that this is no business with hard deadlines and that others do worse but it is still bad image.
It is bad idea to compare yourself with the first, being in the top is such a boon by itself it carried many companies to remain top. There are also some core differences like far lower $ per patron (the amount of scenes patron gets per his 1$ is not so far off ), different appeal group and the fact game is free. Patrons pay for early access, discord and voting right on upcoming content.

I wish for some some BDSM related stuff. I was expecting the Kittens questline to be it but eh.

Office is it. As far as I know the office extension DLC will be heavily BDSM.
So after talking to Starke a moment ago, its clear this patch will come out late night or even very early morning.
If people are directly sitting and waiting for it to release to play tonight(CEST timezone) I would recommend to just go to bed.
Sorry for disappointing anybody here, but it is really close to being finished.
Also remember somebody have to leak it here before you guys can play it, and it's not always instantaneous.
Soon™

Very much appreciated, its a difficult period for Starke after such a hard time and yet they still endeavoured to put out the patch. Best wishes go with Starke.
