So... I’m a little confused on what the next update is going to be about. Part X is about the dance? And it’s on both paths? How long ago was that established? I don’t remember these past updates building towards that at all.... then again, I haven’t played the game in a while. Anyone mind bringing me up to speed on this? Because I have no fucking clue where we’re at now.

Part X Dev.Update : Characters,Pace & Progress!
Heyo!
Just as a reminder, I'll be writing out dev. updates every week until release, filling out the rest of the weekdays with previews and other miscellaneous content.
Part X Progress!
I've wrapped a solid chunk of the day/sunset segments and have fully completed the roam segments. As I explained last time, natural/environmental lighting is super quick for outside settings but is an absolute POISON for enclosed rooms with limited windows. Nuking the room with exposure and emissives is a means of saving some time, but creates a very flat, sterile lighting that I personally don't find tolerable.
Comparatively to the last story part which had multiple morning segments and two split-path date segments, Part X thankfully leans off the extremely time-heavy settings to focus on the pinnacle of the Act I finale: the dance!
Once the remaining day/sunset segments are completed, it's full steam ahead on the night/emissive segments. Compared to the 2-6 hour day/sunset settings, these night scenes are a flash -- the vast majority are between 10 minutes and 1 hour which is SUPER quick. Look forward to the big sprint, lads!
Part X Content!
While posing the scenes for Part X, I've been thinking about the previous story part and why it flowed more naturally than usual. The S campaign particularly felt pretty well paced, I believe because of character variety in the first two-thirds, followed by a building tension to the final encounter with The Matriarch. The amount of scenes for each time of day/night also helped with the pacing, allowing a more believable passage of time compared to the jarring teleportation seen in earlier parts.
With the dance being the definitive climax, the compilation of all the story's characters and dramatics in one place, it makes pacing the preceding segments a bit more tricky. For both campaigns in Part X, you'll have plenty of verbal/physical interaction with both The Youth and The Matriarch, whereas previously sharing only one or two conversations. That and more should keep things fresh until you reach the main event, the one we've all been waiting for. :]
There's still a lot of loose ends you'll have to tie up -- or not, if letting go is your choice. Ben, Isaac, Karen, the dates, those ladies young or married; I hope you're ready to love, to take responsibility!
Website Phase I Launch!
Phase I is mostly complete on my web lad's end -- I've had him working on some other web related stuff this past week, things that are coming out early June. Relaying last update, most of the work remaining is me assembling the graphics/images beyond a blank page, plus organizing the progress tracker to be as comprehensive as possible.
The progress tracker is quite important to get running, allowing you to track the segments rendering/rendered along with other increments (more specifics in my previous update). I've been preoccupied with squeezing out as many scenes for Part X as I can, but I'll make strides for the web assets when I can ration time this week.
After Phase I pushes out, Phase II will be well on its way! With the platform switching we did last week, the back-end setup for a pledge/user system is already built. Pledging on my site will be operational before the release of Part X, giving an alternative if you'd rather support me directly!
Let's take another look at the imminent events:
That's all for today! I appreciate you reading another long-hand rambling of mine and hope you make again next Monday. I'll be waiting for you!
Much love, lads. See you soon!

I think he's working on it alone. Based on what my limited readings on his patreon page. The ratings for this game really surprises me however, how come people aren't very satisfied with it?

Here's the CE Pins I, II, III that have been posted so far. A little generosity goes a long way, so I hope that when the update comes out in the future someone will be willing to share.

Yeah, I thought about reducing the quality a little bit, but there's a lot of folks out there that will probably appreciate the quality at which Gumdrop posted them.Thank you for sharing TheFapperBoy

wow the drama is high and you can consider me hooked this game, so far, is very good. I just hope the dev allows for a harem ending, where, you, as the father can have all the women. However, this is probably unlikely, I'll be satisfied as long as there is the possibility of having a threesome with the niece and daughter.
I've only played the son's route. However, here are my grievances with what I've seen:
1. Choices don't matter. I thought I'd be able to choose between a relationship with the mother or sister. Very early in the game, there is some good relationship-building content with the sister. Unfortunately, that comes to a grinding halt after the party. From then on, it's mother, mother, mother, mother, mother, mother, mother. This is made worse with my next point.
2. The mother is terrible character in regards to both appearance and personality. I know this part is up to personal preference, but I find the mother to be an ugly, unfuckable cow. From skin textures to hair style to body proportions, everything about her is unattractive. And her personality is worse. She's weak, annoying, and clingy-all very unattractive traits. This combined with point #1 makes for a grueling playthrough. With every opportunity, I chose to avoid/deny any relationship with the mother, but there are no other routes, so I ended up just skipping through the whole game trying to get more content with the sister or cousin. And that brings me to my final point.
3. There are no "routes." It may seem a little redundant with #1, but still. This game TEASES the possibility of other relationships, only to force you back into whatever Oedipal corner you peaked your head out of. It's a fucking shame. With the setting it has, there is enormous potential for a brother-sister route, as both children hang on each other through the chaos and uncertainty of having your family split up. The same goes for the cousin--as the son could look for support or stability outside the home. But the dev says "No thanks, more kisses and massages for a depressed and clingy wreck of a mother!"
The first (and last) time I played this game was with the last release, two months ago. As I write this, I acknowledge that I've gotten progressively more heated up about the whole thing as I wrote this response. Yeah, this game pisses me off, but that's only because I expected so much out of the game. I imagine it's worse for those of you who have followed this game longer than two months.
Even despite my shitstorm of complaints here, there are a few things I like about this game.
I like that it's story-focused. There's a narrative, a direction (even though some of the transitions are abrupt). It's not an episodic "let's fuck _____ again!" I also like the amount of content.
However, because of the points I listed and the comments I see about the development pace (and the last two empty months) I don't think I'll ever play again.

The mother is easily one of the best looking mother models in entire /weg/, out of bizarre curiosity I wonder what you would consider to be good looking by your standard
