Joining in a bit with what you say, the problem is that he had a vision until about 4 months ago when he came on Patreon to tell him "the rules of Patreon" and so on! (violations among other things... are prohibited.) The idea at the beginning went to the trash because of that. And if you played it from the beginning you know that it had pressure tones, like leading to prostitution, drugs, harassers for your streams while playing or chatting, like when you went up to the other platform to the racy ones and so on. Like the pain he had due to situations that were intended to be reduced by reducing exposure or how he intended to reduce pain with "drugs".
But from that moment on, everything changed. Then he left the plot line a bit empty, the jobs were complements but not the bases of the game. As now it is almost like the main one, and it is what is giving it life. "Money took a backseat" Like including pregnancy and things like that, which in the long run may give you some play! But it's not giving you anything. In the long term.
I think that no matter how many jobs and things they put in, they lost their way a bit. Because the vision they were going for can't be developed directly because Patreon cuts that off! And it's very blunt in that rule.
I had a lot of faith in the game, I've tried to make sense of it lately but there's no reason to work other than to buy clothes or pay your parents. And at one point with the bar job it's already more than meaningless.
The story line has to be completely reformed, and that takes time. Like changing lines of endless code that you may have already had in the future. He's putting in things, only he knows where the story line is going, because prostitution and other things with the Patreon rules limit you a lot. Coercion also limits you (that's why the lines of the class bully, as well as your roommate's boyfriend, are stopped)
Pregnancy can give you play, but to what extent?
