Fair points and yes, I acknowledge that I am biased.
My contention is mostly with people who demonstrate from their post that they haven't actually played the game and explored all the content. When someone tells me they've gone through it in 5 minutes, or that there there's only 1 sex scene, I question the validity of their judgement or opinion, because we have, as per quest log, redone one scene (which admittedly a player may say doesn't count, and fair play to them), there's the big important/lewd scene (possibly the longest lewd scene Z has ever done, taking on board some criticism that pointed out that his lewd scenes felt a bit short), and then there are 2 more lewd scenes, however small, plus another non lewd big character development moment.. so.. to those people I say, what are (generic)you even talking about, have you even played the game?
So if I bother to react at all, especially prior to the public release date, it's because that is just a misrepresentation of the game and could give people the wrong idea. If you have played the update, enjoyed it for what it is and still think it's short, fair, that's a legit opinion... but in that case I am not reacting to you. If from your post I can tell that you obviously didn't read anything, or have missed half the content, then I am going to push back against that.
As for time and development.. this is basically the 8th release in a year, I'd say we're doing fairly well, all things considered... especially compared to some of the big names out there, considering the time of the year, and some of the IRL challenges and commitments that have been dealt with during the development of the last 2 updates.
That said, we are learning with each update and do take your observations on board.
My main concern, when it comes down to dev time, has always been, and always will be, to try and have Z pull the brakes occasionally, rather than working himself into a burnout, so you will never catch me apologising for how long an update might have taken to deliver, irrespective of the quantity of the content.
