I ended up canceling my Patreon support for this, because the dev spends 80% of the time working on the other game, that didn't exist when I started supporting. I'm kinda sad that Casual Desires got put on the back burner.

Yes, Casual Desires is also planned to be released on Steam later this year, likely a few months after Rebel Duet.
The process is a bit more complicated with Casual Desires since Valve is requesting a game build before the store page can go live. There's a number of changes that will need to be made for the Steam version, so I'm hoping to to work on this test build in-between development for Chapter 20.
So, that happened with another game, so just to be sure, as soon as the game goes up on steam it means no more public versions will be officially released anymore, right?

up to dev. if steam says no then dev can always make "unofficial release" under other nick.
But that is a twinedged sword for the Dev, due to Steam regulations. If Steam gets wind of this happening, it can roast his/her Steam site. Granted, the chance of this is not overly high, but not zero. So most Devs with Steam sites do not give out public updates any longer.
From what SuperWriter said on it I'm pretty sure that rule depends on whether or not the game is labeled as early access or not. Can also just drop "private updates" to a "dedicated supporter" and let nature take its course.
As for why that doesn't happen with that Wifey game I'm pretty sure it's more because 3Diddly hates this forum
As I mentioned before, you can underdive the Steam regulations and not be caught, but if you are then they might kick you out permanently. As for giving a version to a "dedicated updater" that is also possible, but not riskless. There is a reason most Devs once they have games on steam pull the plug on public versions.From what SuperWriter said on it I'm pretty sure that rule depends on whether or not the game is labeled as early access or not.

As for 3Diddly, I doubt he hates this forum, he is more or less indifferent towards it. We have several Devs here, L&P among the most outspoken who truly hate F95 and you see it in what they do.

well if dev keeps game still at patreon and then some1 leaks or "leaks" it here then steam shouldn't have anything to say, even steam versions of some games get leaked here.

ionDivvy: "don't worry, starting a second project will not slow down Casual Desires development, and here's why"
2022: 6 CD updates
2023: Rebel Duet starts, 3 CD updates
2024: 1 CD update? They are dangerously close to being a 6 month dev period, and then who knows. Why should the downward line stop there?
Really dislike devs like ionDivvy. you'd have to be so delusional to believe what they did that i think it has to count as dishonesty.

Rebel Duet is supposed to be released on Steam; it even has a page. If I were a betting man, I'd say the dev wants to complete that game for the additional revenue that he might earn from Steam. Casual Desires doesn't have one because it's far from over.
I personally don't like the other game very much, but I'm guessing a lot of his supporters are interested in RD and not CD... which is why this game is ignored and feels deserted... updates feel like an obligation instead of actual creative storytelling. v19 was the shortest and lamest update so far.
