I hate to criticize one of my favorite developers, but I have to agree with you that it's a bit of a disappointment, for two months of waiting. Though I do take into account that the developer obviously spend quite a bit of time and effort into creating the whole new office environment and reworking the GUI. What makes the whole thing difficult for me is that when the delay was announced in November (or late October I'm not exactly sure) it was said that this was gonna be a 'big' update. Something which most of us (myself included) probably interpreted as meaning a lot of new quests/sexual content.
CMA is not a linear visual novel where you just add a few porn scenes every month. It is a complex game and it is growing with every update and getting more complex. TheGary usually adds a lot content with each update, especially high quality graphics. (Animations still have room to improve.) If this update has only a few new scenes then it is because a lot of effort must have went into reworking the existing code to :
- fix bugs
- split the available content into 3 stand alone chapters
- add new GUI
- enable roll back
- add the new tracking system
etc.
I suppose that some effort also already went into new office content which is not finished and comes with the next update.
If you remember CMA started about 1 year ago and for a single developer creating a game like CMA with all the current content in maybe 15 months is quite extra-ordinary. You have to evaluate the complete project, not only the visible output of the last 2 months.
The new structure of the content is a different point. Creating content which is split into different paths which players can not access in a single playthrough is new and does not fit the game design philosophy so far that there are no bad choices and the player can see 100% content in one playthrough. This also reduces the number of visible scenes, so current content seems to be smaller than it really is. (Example : There is a scene when agreeing to play with handcuffs, but since this turns out to be a bad choice, nobody will choose this path or only to have a small glimpse.)
