One of the things I heard is that it might be a ViperV situation, where the animator is fed up with this shit or had a falling out with the project lead. This is a rumor I heard from a person that used to be a patron but quit because he speculated that this might be the case after seeing the trend along some of the other people over on their patreon; I have no way to verify or confirm whether this is true or not so take that as you will (in my opinion I don't really believe that is the case, but thought that it would be worth sharing as a "what-if" situation). Honestly I love the animator of this and that is what I liked about the game. But at the rate this is going its gonna end like the previous incarnation (prove me wrong that this isn't Breeding Season but shinier) or become a SimBro where it is stuck in an infinite loop of shit updates until the people making the game give up entirely.
I don't really mind if the updates are lower on the h-stuff if they focus on making it a fully functional game (gotta do it sometimes, right?) but if they just keep making minor fixes and changes with months in between actual updates then that cannot be called an "update". I hope that the game doesn't follow the route of it's predecessor, but that seem more and more like it will be the case.
