You'll have to dig through the Discord for that then, but it shouldn't be too hard as the comments with the mod links tend to be quite large, you could also ask for help in the Discord.
It's another update but the size is quite significant, it will contain 16 new scenes, and a number of reworks on top of that, a redone intro, possibly a reworked Christmas event, some reworked scenes turned into repeatable scenes with clothing variations, a major story event, and potential for more scenes to have undergone a "reshade" in which doc leaves the scene as is, but redoes the coloring and shadow work he did to update the look with his improved skill set. I suppose there is a chance that he has also improved animation quality for some scenes, but that wasn't mentioned before.
Refer to my update breakdown post to see all the information that I was able to find.
I'm actually a bit more optimistic about things myself, I feel like the first half of June is a reasonable guess. I had correctly predicted that Doc would have a higher level of performance anxiety due to how long it has been since the last update. So I feel like the first half June is a reasonable guess for the update, with worst case scenario it coming out later in June or even worse in July.
Oh, I'm also optimistic about it. I think he'll deliver on it. Personally I think the community voicing more optimism is more likely to get him to deliver *something* rather than reiterating doubt over and over.
And that's not to say excuse delays and all that, but there's a big difference between "Take all the time you need to make a great game." and "The dev streams have been looking promising, can't wait to see them in the June update."
Notable development in the Discord Mod section or whatever its called, what I assume to be both the most active and the best mod maker from what I've seen, has uploaded a video and a message contains the following;
Note: This is the guy that did the gallery mod, which creates a larger and better gallery that is fully unlocked at the start, and contains all special events, including their characters, the Merchant, both animals, and all state scenes.
From Discord Server Member MGUSER350:
I want to thank everyone who took part in this poll, by popular choice, the second option was the winner, so I'm going to remaster the game to play the update, and after I've finished, I'll add all the content to the gallery and release the mod here, in this process, the development progress will be published here, this process may take a few months due to the complexity of rebuilding the gallery mod into this new mod and adding the new content from the update.
For comparison purposes, the original version of the game and the remastered version were recorded, so draw your own conclusions.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to add the video, despite splitting it into parts, and reducing the resolution, so I will provide two screen shots, followed by a short description.
What is depicted is the game now running in proper full screen at a higher resolution.
For added context, the poll that MGUSER350 is referring to is one that he had done some time ago where he asked;
Development research, for the new update, will be remastered in HD with full screen support, multi-languages and other improvements, which I will use to play, but the gallery will be a complex point, because assembling it will be time consuming, so what should I release first ?
Game first and Gallery comes another time. - 46%
Game with the full gallery (takes longer) - 50%
This is not necessary the base game is already enough - 4%

From the stream today, as I predicted not only did Doc not stop streaming, but he also did a stream for Vera, yet again this is a scene tied to the game's intro, in this case after interacting with Lucille and Martha, David walks to the ground floor bathroom and meets Vera there, she interacts with him, initiating a scene.
As depicted above, Doc has reworked the Vera intro scene and is now making it a repeatable event, as he has done with the equivalent events for Martha and Lucille. So far he has reworked all outfit variations for the player character, and two variations for Vera as shown above. What is notable for those with a good eye, is that he has enlarged physical features on Vera; her ass, thighs and breasts, I will include a side by side comparison below to make this change easier to see. There will likely also be wet and dry versions for her as there were for Martha.
He has of course also made two variations for her hair. From what I gathered, he will make variations for her clothes which should consist of the following; fully clothed, submissive state outfit (she takes off her green sweater so her torso only wears a grey top and her bra), underwear, bikini and likely her Christmas outfit as well (as Doc did Christmas outfits for both Martha and Lucille).
Doc verbally stated that he will make another version of this scene for Vera's submissive state, he specified that this scene will be neutral (pre-state) and for the Dominant state as well, he showed a sketch which depicted Vera choking the player character, it is likely that this addition would be added to the above scene to make it function as the Dominant state version for the scene, though he did not say so himself.
As to what the Submissive version for the scene could be, after looking into it there are no current scenes that I believe would be used as a Submissive version for the scene. This would mean that Doc will create an entirely new scene increasing the total we can expect for the next update to 17 scenes, so long as he didn't preemptively plan for this scene back when he claimed 16 scenes himself.
Here is a link to my update breakdown post, which contains all the information I was able to find about the next update, from teasers to links to all the stream posts I have made so far. Doc claimed that he will make another stream to continue working on this Vera scene, I will try to be present in order to collect information for all of you.

He seems to have gotten past the issues from what I could tell in the streams I was present for, I've also seen what seemed like an alright work ethic and better productivity if I had to guess based on his past tardiness. I've seen enough that I feel more confident with the current development process to the point where I feel like the first half of June is a reasonable guess, though for it to be delayed by a month wouldn't exactly be too surprising, so long as nothing goes wrong, and even at that he did mention to take it with a "bag of salt" rather than just a grain, the first half of June could be when the update comes out.
Golem98 I just hope, he doesn't break your heart. Looks like Doc has some energy to do something, but trust is lost. It happened to often. I really hope he proofs us all wrong. But I am really concerned about you if not
He develops the scenes with layers, not only for the clothes but for body parts too, it should be easy for him to create a separate layer for her bush, and to give players the option on whether or not she has it. Although keep in mind, he'd have to make edits to all scenes where it is visible.
That probably will happen as the scene is now somewhat old, he might just do a reshade where he simply redoes the coloring and shading for the scene to make it look better.

He did say that the update would come out in the first half of June so long as nothing goes wrong, he also said to take it with a bag of salt, so he himself said not to be too hopeful about it. I must admit from what I've seen so far I don't mind him taking his time if he spends that time adding more scenes, the quality of his art and animation has made another significant leap from the past yet again.
He is making not only a large amount of new scenes, but also an unknown number of reshaded and reworked scenes. He is also fleshing out the game more, with the repeatable scenes, improved UI and furthering story progression. He is also filling in placeholders, which is a complaint made my many people, for example the Martha in the kitchen placeholder, which would now be one of the repeatable events that I showed in one of my stream posts. There is a potential for Martha to have multiple scenes in the kitchen.
It is confirmed that this Scene, will be added for Martha's placeholder in the kitchen, it is also likely that this Scene and this other Scene will both be used for the same placeholder, as all three scenes are repeatable. It is reasonable to assume that some placeholders will be filled in for all characters with the repeatable scenes.

Its all about information, if everyone knew what was going on it would make the waiting much easier. I know that I became a lot more optimistic when I started watching the streams.
For those that are curious, I recently found the archive of all the previous updates of the game on the Discord server, I have added a link to my art gallery, found under the guide. And will provide a link here as well.
You must be registered to see the links
I remember that someone had wanted to make a mod of the game that would have a gallery with all versions of scenes from throughout the development process, whoever you are here is the archive you need.

Oh, now I'm even afraid that my computer won't be able to handle another significant leap from the past yet again and I'll have to rent computing power from Microsoft.
