Crush's brief for this update included:
- Creating the entire lifepath system
- Customizing the lifepath for each of the five nationalities in the game
- Using the lifepath to generate meanings for all the stats he'd introduced over the years that have thus far meant nothing
- Going back through the ENTIRETY of the current content of the game and essentially rewriting many scenes to provide multiple alternate versions that show what failures and successes in the skill rolls mean, as well as takes into account the various fetishes that that have thus far been little more than window dressing
- Creating an entirely new dynamic sex system that calls on skill checks and provides variant scenes and scene lengths, again based on sex skill checks and fetishes.
That would be at least six months for a competent, honest, diligent indie dev. For Crush...well, he might
never finish that work.
And to be clear, what he promised for a Christmas release a few months back was not the full update, but rather a sample scene to show how his new sex system worked and how "hot" it was. He failed to deliver even that small amount. It's entirely possible that Victoria is having issues with the paper doll, but to all appearances they are dwarfed by Crush's inability/unwillingness to do any work.
Even if he does somehow manage to finish the above before the sun turns into a dead, cold cinder, the additional complexity he's created for himself going forward means that his progress
[sic] will be slowed even from his normal glacial pace to something that will only be detectable on a geological timescale.
