The game is whatever people think about it, but the truly dismaying revelation is that the dev team intends to continue a two-game process. Which means they're artificially delaying the development schedule of every single game they write. When Patreon banned incest, the hybrid strategy to fund and release DmD made complete sense. Now it's just, well...
Every single game they initiate will take twice as long to complete. This doesn't have to be the case. This is their choice.

Just because you dont like it doesnt mean its not the ending.
Or it could mean they have two different groups and it takes just as long because of writing/render time and such. There can be a bunch of reasons why they don't focus on one thing and just pump it out. Probably because patrons like to know their money is always going to something. Then again, you don't know and neither do I. Either way if you're here and playing for free......who cares? Its speculation.

No, it means they're choosing to develop two games at the same time, thus doubling the time each will take to complete. It's simple math. Do you actually think Melody and Sunshine Love are aimed at disparate audiences? What's the audience for the upcoming game, bestiality and vore? I kinda doubt it.
Yes, there could. One is that one of their games can't be funded via Patreon because it's about incest, and so they can fund it by developing a game that Patreon doesn't forbid, which is a genius move. The other is that neither of their games couldn't be funded via Patreon and they're deliberately choosing to double their development time because...well, c'mon. Everyone sees it. Except, I guess, you.
If I had a widget for which I could get people to pay $10 today, or $20 in a month, and my customers didn't appear to care how much they paid or how long it took to receive their widget, I'd obviously take the $20 for half the work. That's not the case here, since the producer of said widget isn't working at half-capacity, but it's unquestionably what fans of a particular project are paying for.

Where'd you get that from? I think you're thinking the "what if" game/scenes is their next major game.
From what I can tell, they plan on completing SL before working on the next proper game. The "What if" DMD thing isn't a real game.
However, I think they'll make a 2nd game eventually. I think they'd lose a chunk of fans if they don't.

"as we’ll also be releasing a brand-new game sometime in 2023"
Sunshine Love isn't gonna be finished in the next five days, nor in the next five months. QED.

Man I knew this day will come, but I wasn't ready for sure. I love this game and it finally ending is really closing a chapter...
I will miss those characters dearly. Hope the next game has them in some cameos.
Since I got the harem ending this is already the best one for sure. Is there a ending with the mother?

I mean, you do realize that things like creative burnout, and writer's block are things, right? Many creatives (not just Adult Game devs) work on multiple projects simultaneously so that they can switch from one to the other when their creative juices stop flowing, or they hit a wall when writing the script. Sometimes it helps to work on something entirely different to give the brain a break. If it is one writer working on both projects then having that freedom could end up with both games moving faster (and being better quality) than they would have individually. That's not to say that the two games would release sooner than if they focused on one, but that two games done this way would release sooner than if they were done one after the other as opposed to simultaneously.
There's also the possibility that with any team larger than a solitary individual, workflows can be optimized to have two different pipelines working side-by-side to make sure that everyone always has something to do, instead of an entire down-line waiting on, say, the writer to give them a script, so they can continue working on posing, rendering or coding.
Do I know if either of these scenarios is the case? No, but to just immediately assume that they are choosing to deliberately take twice as long to complete games is extremely cynical. We don't know what their workflow is, or their reasoning behind wanting to work on multiple projects at a time. Maybe you're right and they just want to make everyone wait and keep paying (despite the fact that it's very likely most of their ongoing supporters aren't just looking for one game to be finished and then plan on dropping their support), or maybe they want to have two teams working separately, or to give their writer the option to switch games when he starts to burn out on one, or maybe they just have two ideas and don't want to only focus on the one and then forget the other. Who knows?
Mr.Dots I want to thank you for finishing this VN, you did it with class and style in the fashion you set out, folks will talk about real life etc. but this is a VN/game not real world so one has to remember that, the story was over all good, yes there are parts given time you most likely would have done better but those who demand an update in a timely fashion get what they get, I am just happy with this conclusion, and I will grant that parts are harder to dismiss than others but again it is a story so let it go. Again well done and thank you.
