There's only *been* two surveys to my knowledge in the past 3 years and the one before the one after the pregnancy update, pregnancy was the most requested feature by a mile. So I am not sure why you're implying the devs aren't doing what they want - it's silly, it's well known Vrelnir doesn't even like pregnancy and needed others to write it since it's not their thing.In the last five surveys or so, in the question about what is the main aspect that players like, dating romantic interests is on top, you can check it out yourself. However, all the recent updates has been rape or new non-related mechanics like pregnancy.
Improving the side characters seems like the main objective from the surveys view, however, these has been neglected.
Definitely, not only romantic interests are under-develop, also a lot of mechanics and places. The brothel, the underground brothel, the police station, the dance school, all of these places have a lot of potential, not only new events but also storylines. However, the most neglected place of all is the school, with the never-ending grind for popularity with bullshit events and no compensation.
Also, I would love to see the combat/sex improve, with more dialogues and different personalities for different NPCs. For example, if you pick a college student who is virgin at the bar, they call you a bitch mid sex, or when you pick a married wo/man, they start beating you even if they where the ones nervous about it. More consistent random dialogues for random characters would be very good.
Additionally, what are you even referring to? Have there even been updates in the past few years without content updates to side characters and/or LIs? There was a huge swath of Kylar and Whitney expansions in the past few updates, then there was the Robin-suffering stuff, Sirris' sex shop (which was one of the last updates before pregnancy), the black wolf scenes, the kennel, the new Alex stuff, just last update there were content additions and new options to the brothel.
You're free to want more of a certain type of content and ask for that. But you're representing the devs as if they're just ignoring what the players want and doing something else and should start working on things they... have been working on practically every update. They've always been following the surveys and I think it's really unfair to them to vocalize your own desires this way. All the content you mention was a shell of what it is now a few years ago. Sure, it could use more. But they are adding more every update and the biggest recent feature - which they're still fleshing out, was consistently the most requested feature for years... They're just doing a bit of all the major requests, opposed to zeroing in solely on what you'd like.
Honestly, I am not sure why people are so eager to get critical here. I follow a lot of games, none of them are getting new content as quickly as DoL is and none cater to such a wide field of interests and ways to play. It can be better, of course, and recent updates have been slower - but those updates were also incredibly large, much requested features. Believing some of the people in this topic, you'd almost think the game earns an abandoned tag for pushing out what, 20+ scenes, 3 new areas, new hairstyles, new sprites for various things, a hugely requested mechanic (and fully featured - still lacking story content true, but mechanically it's more complete than just about anything else I've seen), new skills, new traits and a new transformation, amongst other things, over multiple months.
We've not had an update in a few months, anyone can check the git and see they're still adding scenes and features every week.
