No, it does not take "significant" amounts of work.
It takes INsignificant amount of work.
As in, utterly trivial.
As in, less than 1% extra effort on the dev's part.

If that were true, then the two versions would release more or less simultaneously. They don't. Moreover, having the computer render a new image, even one that's already been framed and properly set up, still takes time and processing power. Which is why for example, minor variations of scenes (such as a LI being pregnant or not pregnant) are typically forgone or pushed to the end of a story to cut down on the workload.

1. if it takes more than that, then dev is doing something wrong
2. you are correct about rendering time. But that is the computer working rather than a human working.
3. LI's being pregnant or not is different, because you don't just need to render the images, you also need to track variables and determine which image to display when.
Now, if the two different MCs were packages together into the same game with different file names and the dev had to write code on each scene to determine which to show, then it would be some extra work.
But he is actually releasing them as seperate packages. so presumably it uses the same file names. So it really is just re-rendering.
The fact dev is doing it as seperate releases is showing a level of competence and understanding. which suggests to me he is doing things right.
My guess is that the reason for the separate releases is because of the time it takes to re-render with the different skin.

It isn't just a different skin though, is it? I haven't played the game yet, but based on what I've seen the black MC is an entirely different model (skin, hair, face, etc). You'd have to swap out the old model for the black one, repose (?), then re-render.

skin not in the sense of "the human organ that keeps outside on the outside"
skin in the sense of "computer term"
it is short of skin mesh. which refers to the lair you place on top of the digital "skeleton".

Can we expect an update anytime soon? I thought the MC would make a move on his mom at the party, but sadly it didn't happen.

huh. i thought this is dead (what with 9 months without an update).
but then suddenly an update.
also. the zip contains another zip with the game, as well as a bundle of savefiles, as well as changelog.
the changelog also contains a mini walkthrough

The attached saves might be necessarily. Loading a save worked... until i reached an undefined variable ruby_possible_romance.
looks like some of the variables changed and dev couldn't be bothered with a simple function to convert old saves to new saves.
then again... I am also experiencing variable errors on a brand new game I just started. can't report to dev since he has no easy place to contact in.
well, since we are restarting. I am just gonna cheat. found these useful variables so far:
MC_EXP
money
just add some digits to both
