, that included content that was later reserved for Ep.2. He did not start talking about Ep.2 until mid 2023 when he decided to break it up into Episodes. If you go to his website and fall down the rabbit hole, you can see some of this content goes all the way back to 2019 in the Unity Engine.
To be fair, he has been showing off a lot more of Ep.2 since 09/23. It's possible it is close, but gauging how Animo has done things for... years, it will get drug out all year to get the most out of paying subscribers.

EDIT:
There is something I think needs to be said when it comes to content. Having a map or a model or animations is great, but that doesn't equate to a fun game. Turning all those assets into well paced, bug-free, engaging gameplay is a totally different task that isn't as easy to quantify. We can look at work flows and see it takes roughly so long to make an animation. But those calculations don't apply to play-testing. Sometimes ideas don't pan out and you have to go back to the drawing board.
I know when it comes to sex games, most just want a collection of scenes. But those are a dime a dozen, and for those of us who have done all that a hundred times, games like these that are actually "games", are the next step. I respect any Dev who is taking on the tasks of making a good 'game' that also has hardcore content. Does that mean I don't see the milking of Subscribers? Of course not. It does mean I have more patience than the average. That is all.
