Unless the dev starts to lose subscribers, they have absolutely no incentive to do that. In fact, the dev is incentivised to keep the updates as small as possible because then they have to do less work, and they can keep the money coming in longer.

True, but the reason this one is sticking out is because it is unusually short; and that's because Vertigo has a consistent track record of delivering longer updates and still making their monthly deadline. As far as I now, they have yet to skip a month. So maybe something came up in real life that cut into their time, or they otherwise had some production issues. Certainly not unheard of. We won't know if this is truly a downturn in the delivery of content until a few month from now, as only then will be be able to see if this is an anomalous blip or the start of a new normal. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, because the quality of the content is still solid. The writing is still as charming as ever; and the work they put into posing, faces, and general 'cinematography' has remained stellar.

According to the changelog, thats not true though. This update says it has 14,500 words, 283 renders. The previous one had 13,800 words, 273 renders. the one before that was even smaller with 12,800 words and 193 renders, and all the other updates I looked at were of similar sizes, with only 0.27.1 being fairly bigger at 24,100 words and 444 images.

Every time I download an update, I always put a little note on the folder (I delete the contents, but leave the folder). "Don't download again until"

Currently I'm waiting until v0.44.

The updates always seem so short in this one that you need some good pace between downloads to have some meaningful content.

Kana likely become the one to set the motel on fire is very much on my bingo card. We should just tie her to a cuck chair and slowly corrupt her to accepting her eventual fate.

Kagome though... much love. Gonna take a bit to get her fully under us but it will be worth it.

And again, a entirely short and meaningless update with a smidge of fan service... Where is the Meat?

I applaud and envy your resolve, for I do not posses the same. And on that note:

Clearly your new here. Short updates are par for the course, and frustrate many.
Well relatively, but I finished this a few months ago (minus this update). So I'm aware after asking here just how small the updates are....I completely understand that frustration-sicne the games plot is actually good.

Thought I saw someone say here that the devs updates will be bigger from now on, must not include this time

Am i misremembering, i could've sworn the dev used to update monthly but according to my last 3 saves he's seemingly switched to every other month... i only keep the last 3 saves between updates, overwriting the oldest as i go so i can't check any older ones to answer my own question, so does anyone know?

Several updates ago the dev added a couple weeks to the dev time but kept the same minimal update size. I want to say back around v0.32 but I don't remember exactly.

Personally, I don't mind. I view updates to this game like dessert rather than a main course. I'm always real excited to see an update because they are a nice treat. Real quality stuff that makes the wait worthwhile. At this point, I don't even really care if no h-scenes happen because they are not why I come back to this visual novel over and over. I've been following it here for years now and my interest in it has only increased over time which is exceptionally rare.

Finished the latest update. Really enjoyed the Kagome time but damn, would be totally ok with dropping Kana and putting that time towards wonderful girls like Suzu. Was so glad the MC said he missed her and Miko. Definitely need some more Miko time. Way to many girls in this story. Ohh well, now the wait for the next update. Wonder how many until we get to the evening and see Suzu again.

Well, finished the update. Can't say I'm surprised by Kana's reaction. Though at this point, him being with these girls isn't even just desire. It's basically a necessarily at this point. He needs to do it with the vampires especially, and especially the more noble ones. Jun's mom also seemed very urgent about it as well. Along with his childhood friend. Her and Miko/Suzu are the more obvious

I don't think Kana will go yandere however. She is smart, and I think will come around (in 10 updates)

My bad then. The update felt a bit shorter to me, and seeing others complain only reinforced that. To be fair, few devs can do work of this quality at a faster pace and hope to maintain any sort of regular schedule. Kinderfeld/ILS Productions manages it, but I'll admit that I think their renders are perhaps a tad sloppier (and they've had some teething issues switching from HS1 to HS2 for their current project). By that I mean it seems like Vertigo spends a lot of time planning out, staging, and rending wholes series of bespoke images for even the simplest conversations; the result being that this is the only AVN that I can remember where the simple facial reaction of a character involved in a conversation (but not currently speaking) has made me laugh out loud on multiple occasions. In other words, their stagecraft is spot on. Mutt & Jeff I think are equally as skilled in their staging, but you're also waiting for multiple changes of seasons between their admittedly substantial updates.

I like how Kana's arguably crazy ass is ironically the most sane girl in the game when it comes to the bullshit the MC was spewing. Was genuinely hilarious reading the nonsense going on put into words for Kagome; 'yeah I smashed your entire class, including your teacher but I totally love you." Felt sorry both her and Kana.

How I see it....

Well considering the lore the game has for vampires, it would kind of make sense that Kagome is a bit more accepting, as are some of the other vampires. Okami makes sense too considering. In the end, different cultures have different views on relationships, seems "mythkind" is of no exception.

I mean most vampires assume they will have to stick with women to avoid the risk of going crazy or ghoulification, so not really far fetched to believe some vampires would be fine with sharing a man. Kana and Kagome see the MC as completely different. This whole time, Kagome didn't even think she could be with the MC because of Kana and vampirism, now she sees it as possible and now she is going to think about it. Though it will still no doubt depend on Kana.

Poly relationships, harems, and thruples exist in the real world. If a prince from some shit hole country can have a harem, I am sure that a Demi-god that is immune to vampirism (probably won't need the meds) will have no trouble getting one.

Kana on the other hand, even if MC didn't have a harem and was simply came back into her life and was dating another girl, she'd still be hurt because of the expectations she built for herself. If MC just simply rejected her and there was no one else, she would still be devasted because of the pedestal she put him on. There was no way to avoid hurting her unless MC simply chose to be with her exclusively, but even then, even if he was 100% loyal, she would still be jealous and it would eat at her.
