You always omit the fact that the whole season 1 took him fewer months to develop, despite having to build everything from zero and having more static renderings (fewer animations), with fewer and much less powerful GPUs.The render quality has not improved that much, most improvements are strictly related to his better hardware. He has not changed style, mastered posing or lighting since ep 1.
He had made more static renderings to accompany all the dialogues, inventing UI, minigames, then he had to do extra work to publish four separate episodes still managing to do everything in a shorter development time.

He started on Episode 1during the summer 2018, so it did take time.
You are comparing the much shorter lower quality episodes of season 1 to the larger higher quality episodes he releases now. More girls, more unique paths, higher quality renders, much longer sex scenes, to name a few things.


It seem to me most people are not that passionate about all the extras like most minigames, his own songs, "cinematic" animations, excessive free roams and so on.

Not sure about "most". I have seen plenty enjoy the free roams and mini-games. The animations don't take much time. The "cinematic" animations are a very small part of the overall animations.


It's not really paths or sex scenes that complicate things. I remember you that first season had 29 lewd scenes, ep 11 will have 18. So he already cutted sex scenes a lot compared to the past. Writing for the various paths it's not that long or difficult to code, free roams instead are much more complex than standard linear story. Mini games are also more complicated to code and debug. A simple anal scene cannot take 35 days to write and render, unless you count animations or he had to redone animations a few times.

The anal scene took 1 day to pose, 34 to animate.
I only go from what he has said and that is that manual work like writing, coding and creating art takes the longest time. Especially the main girl paths.
His wife helps him with the mini-games, it's a thing they do together.


It seems you always forget what doesn't fit your narrative, and you also fantasize about some data.

What data do I "fantasies" about?

I just love this game and don't like it when people talk about what a piece of trash it is or how worthless DPC is at making it. Self-proclaimed experts thinking that some small changes will drastically shorten the development time and damming him for not doing it. I can understand criticism when it makes sense but not when people just crap on the game and the developer because the episodes isn't released fast enough, or hate him just because he makes a lot of money or can't understand that he enjoys making the game himself.

So you really have nothing to back it up your claims , how convenient.

Just like you have nothing to backup that he lies all the time and is just milking patreons.

Madame is kind of a complicated subject. My main beef with her is that she isn't attractive. And I have a thing for MILFs with huge knockers. It is of course my personal opinion, but I'm fairly sure I'm not alone in thinking that.

The second point is that so far she seems to be an extra character with no purpose in the game's plot. This may yet be rectified and there are some hints of it, but if in the end she was just an extra, then all the VIP room things could have been replaced with scenes for the other Pink Rose girls. Think about it. The VIP room could have been a magical place where you get scenes with the Pink Rose girls with no need for a complicated set up. Scenes with Brandi and Tanya that we have been denied. More Rose. More Sandy. You could have alternate versions for Nicole and Lily depending on if you are just a customer or something more. We could still get that, but so far it's a massive stack of opportunities wasted on an oily manatee.

However there is one thing that people aren't entirely fair about and that is complaining about the number of scenes. Because you have to unlock them separately the scenes are in the game as independent entities, but as actual animation content they don't add up to all that much. Bella's anal scene in ep 10 is pretty big and might actually have more animation than Madame has in the entire game. She still has too much content because she doesn't deserve any in the first place, but comparing scene numbers is misguided if you ignore the amount of animation.

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the exact point people are making that they preferred the "lower quality" season 1 episodes to the "higher quality" season 3 episodes that take so much longer to release?

In particular, the "higher quality renders" and "much longer sex scenes" which each have a disproportionate impact on development time compared to their contribution to the game's quality.
