Branching the "Bangkok prologue" like that would be the bare minimum it'd take to suggest to me (and probably a number of others) he may actually still be trying to deliver a RPG experience, as opposed to having settled for a low-visual VN with irrelevant pseudo-choices.
Crush wants the RPG experience, but here is the dilemma. Every branching scene takes double the time to write, and need a lot more planning as you need to consider how the outcomes of event 1, will affect event 2 or even event 3 or 4. Crush will pivot at some point on RPG mechanics but I actually think branching off a linear already written story is better for Crush. But hey, I don't know if Crush will pivot to the Lifepath, Sandbox, Sex Engine v3 or more meaningful choices in the current Bangkok experience.

I'm trying to come up with something, anything, that could get through to what passes for the mind of something that "thinks" the average indie porn game developers on Steam makes millions. I got nothing.

Fun fact: Crush's Patreon earnings to date would put him in the top quartile of Steam indie developers (mainstream and porn) by lifetime gross revenue. There's reasons good porn game developers only use Steam as a secondary revenue stream with an actual (mostly) finished product.

Hey guys! Sorry for another late report. I normally work 8-10 hours per day on the game, but occasionally I have a burst of mania when everything is just flowing, and I feel like I can work and work without my brain getting exhausted.
Someone should notify him of this typo, I think he meant 8-10 hours per week.

Translation:
"I just realized that I'm close to the end of my 3 month deadline and still haven't finished writing a handful of basic text scenes, so I'm now rushing to cram it all in."
He claims to have spent nearly 17 hours polishing one scene while adding "extra stuff" to it because he was "inspired."
Yeah right

Anyone got a link to the 1.6.3 version with supporter unlocks? Or can point out how to unlock them with the browser dev tool?

That is what I meant. I don't expect an Agatha Christie like crime novel or spy story. I am perfectly fine with a smaller project if it's well done. In this case however, the game is all over the pace. He still doesn't know what he wants to do or what he actually can do in a timely fashion. Like I said, if you don't have the time or creativity to implement multiple choice decisions and branching decisions then don't try to force them into the game. Nobody wants choices in a game and then only decide on food. While the avatar system is done well, I don't see the benefit as clothes change nothing in regards to the outcome of a scene.

He is spending resources on features that do nothing and add nothing.

Would be great if he manages to keep that release schedule tbh, even if the episodes are shorter.

Will he be able to do that though? My generous guess is the first one is on schedule, then after that it's delays.

So the post before last he was talking about the update being finished in 3 weeks. Now, a week later, he says "to get it to you quicker" he's releasing it in 2 parts over 5 and a half weeks?

I'm confused. Is this still a prologue?

Is he adding three side missions to a prologue?
Yes. The answer is always yes :D Seriously, as far as I understand it the current version of the game is still some sort of prologue until it opens up the game and lets you do stuff other than the linear path. So this might be a first glimpse at it. However, as always this may be subject to change.
