Hopefully in a few weeks (months in Gzone's case). It takes time to plan out delaying updates so the dev can fund his shittier game. Gzone is the main character in his ongoing adventure of incompetence.

In the sense that you fuck all the women, yeah. Pretty sure the only choice between girls you have to make is who's prom-related scenes you see; Sam's, Paulina's, or Star's.

From his SubscribeStar tonight:
“Hello Everyone,
It’s been a while since my last update, and I wanted to share some insights into the current status of the "Amity Park" update.
In my previous post, I optimistically mentioned that the update might be just days away. However, I find myself continually drawn back to designing new and exciting scenes, rather than focusing on the programming tasks needed to finalize the update. I want to apologize for this delay. The truth is, I've been struggling to motivate myself to complete the programming aspect and keep postponing it because I enjoy the drawing process too much.
I realize I need to buckle down and complete the work rather than continuing to expand the scope of the update. However, on the bright side, this means that when the update does arrive, it will be packed with much more content and fun discoveries than originally planned.
I appreciate your understanding and patience as I navigate these challenges. I am committed to making the wait worthwhile with an update that's richer and more enjoyable.
Thank you for sticking with me through this process.
Sincerely,
GZone”
There was also another post showing off some new/remade scenes involving Maddie and Desiree, and another new shot for Sam.

At least he finally posted something, it might not be an exact date; but acknowledges he is working on the game still. Communication is the biggest pitfall these donation based devs fall into. They either don't communicate enough and think the money will keep flowing if they go months without saying anything or they say too much by over-hyping the scope of the game compared to their capabilities to actually create that much content and/or give precise target dates too early in the development cycle and start constantly missing those dates leading to frustration, disappointment, and discontent from backers.

If you're asking if our (Stray Dream Games) game, "Dark Dimensions: A Spiritual Successor" is a sequel to "Amity Park" then no. It is not a sequel. The story is not connected, we're just made up of previous members of GZone's team, and we are likely to use some similar background images for our game too. But it's not a sequel, so you could play either game in any order if you wanted.
Thank you. Any advise making a visual novel I am making an adorable little drow visual novel about her lost everything from a war and now she is homeless plan on doing intense sex scenes to survive. I am not a good writer and I am just new that this.

I would advise doing something to improve your grammar, myself. It is, frankly, atrocious. If you're unwilling to sit down and actually take a look at it, or find someone who is willing to do so and return the corrected script, I would advise you get one of those AI assistants that can help correct it for you. Grammarly, I think, does that sort of thing. You could also just feed the text through GPT and ask it to correct the grammar without altering the text beyond that. LLMs like GPT tend to be good at 'natural sounding' dialogue, if a little repetitive.
Anyway, if you're new at this, I would advise against a long visual novel. Keep it short for your first release. You definitely need some practice and while it's enticing to jump into the deep end and spin a multi-book yarn of an epic saga... You'll never finish it. Skills need building.
I know but I can do it I know I can I tried a lot of project for making a visual novel I would someone to draw my main character but I don't have the money.
“This is an adult game where you play as an adorable little dark elf who lost her parents during a war, and her village was engulfed in flames.” little bit an idea I still don't know what do I want turn the main character into a homeless orphanage and turn it into a survival visual novel.

I'll translate this from gzone speak (village idiot) to english:
"I refused to pay multiple artists and wonder why those same artists refused to do anymore work. This caused delays to Amity Park.
I put off paying my old team for months on end. This caused delays to Amity Park.
I intentionally spent more time on the game (Breeding Farm) from which I've received nowhere near the amount of money that Amity Park generated. This caused delays to Amity Park.
I came up with a bullshit excuse (one of many, my main skill is to make excuses to cover up my incompetence) about how my city/town had no power for weeks. I'm so clueless, I didn't check to see if any of my subscribers lived in the same area. During the time of which I had "no power" I was on my discord, patreon, subscribestar, and more pandering for subs and working on Breeding Farm, while having "no power."
I removed content from Amity Park while pandering for subs about how "new content" was added to Amity Park. I urged customers/subscribers to sign up for another website to see the "new content" before it was added to Amity Park, I charged a fee for this. I'm so lazy that I couldn't even finish the "new content" for Amity Park to the point where when the characters stop talking their mouths are still moving. I made the choice not to hire any artists and switch to AI prior to patreon issues. This caused a delay to Amity Park.
Of the many, many subs I have taken in over the years for Amity Park, I have refunded nowhere near as much as I should have. I pulled a bait and switch, promising one thing and not delivering while not refunding subs.
I'm so out of touch with reality that upon one of the last updates for Breeding Farm, I pandered for more subscribers. It took me upwards of 30 minutes (and only then due to messages I saw) that to save face I made a half-ass apology regarding the lack of updates for Amity Park. The half-ass apology was only made because I realized that people know the jig is up.
I'm a douchebag, idiot, conman, piece of shit. Thank you for continuing to subscribe to the ship of ineptness of which I'm captain. Their might be an update for AP days/weeks/months from now when I realize the cashcow I created and fucked up is running low."
Tldr: Incompetent dev found a niche which had the possibility of generating thousands of dollars multiple times over. Dev is so clueless that at every opportunity to make things right he chose to constantly fuck over himself, his team and former artists. Dev did not and does not comprehend that working on the more popular game (the game for which he has received more money) instead of the other game, generates more interest which generates more subscribers which in turn generates more money.

That sounds like a cute concept. Is it loli? Can't put it on here if it is.
Still, especially if you don't have an artist, a big game is just going to crush you under the pressure. Make something small, and tight.
Yes, It's a loli idea and I am thinking making a Dragon Ball parody with shota goku which shota get less back lash or a clumsy trap maid since I start to like anime trap for some reason I can't think small though.

“Happy Easter, Everyone!
Here’s a little something to celebrate the holiday—a festive Easter-themed drawing of Kate and Dani! I had a lot of fun creating this one, and I hope it brings a smile to your face.
Thank you for your continued support, and enjoy the holiday!
Sincerely,
GZone”
…so no word on the actual update itself, but his post appears to at least show us our first look at Dani Phantom who hasn’t yet appeared in the game, and our new look at Nurse Kate’s new redesign given the art style shift.
