Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I'm honestly curious on how many of us actually WANT the changes and features they're implementing here. Sure, dodge and enemy dismemberment mechanics are cool, but compared to things the community seems to voice as wants - sex anims, a save system, enemies, missions/areas, items/weapons (basically what you said) - I think the devs probably should realize that they need to balance their updates with ONE new feature or mechanic AND something from the aforementioned list that we want.
It just hurts that the Bioasshard team is so damn slow with their updates (like, I think this is their first real release since late January, nearly six months/half a year ago). Given that timeframe, we might not get another update with actual sex content until the year is over.
Don't get me wrong, it's quite good news we're getting anything at all, and non-patrons can get this "early". And of course, I'm testing it out tomorrow. But I still hate their development cycle and wish their focus was changed around.
