You have a warped sense of how creative work works if you think throwing more bodies and tools at it will translate to larger updates. It could very well lead to smaller updates and/or delays, because coordination would be harder, especially for the first month or two while they basically have to get the new people up to speed. And it's not like you're going to be hiring another character artist. Maybe a background artist or an animator, but again, you'll be adding overhead besides money that you haven't considered.

You need to get you head out of the AAA mindset. The answer isn't always get bigger. MITY has been a small team this whole time. They built their Patreon as a small team, and from my perspective, they haven't fallen behind like a lot of devs do once they get their nut. I see no reason for them to throw their profits after a solution that might not even solve the so-called problem, very well could make the so-called problem worse, and might even negatively impact the quality of the end result.

No thanks. I'll be happy with the several quality animated scenes a month coming out of a game I'm not even personally paying for. My standards are plenty high enough for free

Yeah I mean you can say "what if it went wrong" all you like, doesn't make it true. There is ALWAYS the option to hire more artists and this could have a negative impact in the short run - but not in the long run. There's ALWAYS the option of hiring another developer so that the main development guy can focus on writing the script. The answer isn't always to get bigger, there's always going to be a minimum efficient scale - but they're very far from it which is very evident from seeing how many people they've got split working on completely different categories of work.

The point is the updates shouldn't be getting shorter as they've got bigger income - which I have supported in the past (not currently though) - yet they seem to have got less content done this month than ever before - especially accounting for the fact there wasn't even any massive work on the exploration mini-game.

Just use your brain please.

Yes, there have been larger updates to this game. Were those larger updates done in a single month? Hint: The answer is no. It's a shorter update than normal because the development time was shorter than normal.

Simply isn't true. If you account for the few days delay due to internet troubles then this has been a longer cycle than normal even. And even discounting that it's far shorter both in script and events than other updates we've seen.

Eh I'll just do what I did in the past for this game, wait till the book is near completion that way I don't stress my self out if an update doesn't meet my expectations and when I do finally play it I'll have a bulk of content to keep me occupied, I did it for book 3 and wasn't disappointed so I'll do it for book 4 plus LoK has a lot of potential so I hope it pays off again.

Don't you think, you're a little unfair here? Mity could publish updates like this for years and would still be ahead of 99% of adult game patreon developers. One (!) update that has less content than expected and they get the cold shoulder? Not from me. Still took me 2 hours to play through and yes, I took my time, because I enjoy every minute of it.
There are reasons why this has a little less content, all of them were communicated by Mity, which is also a thing a lot of developers are lacking.
E.g.:
I've also been testing out some new super rough and quick walkaround areas for future builds and those turned out to be major timesinks. Even in their highly limited state. I could've and should've known this already, but yeah.... I didn't. So we're most likely going to keep things as they are now with only the two already present areas and no more. I tested a small thing to make a walk around area more interesting and functional but can't talk about that yet since it won't be included anyway and would probably spoil the shit out future builds.

I have no problems with them "wasting" time on some fresh ideas they might have, cause they've proven to me they have what it takes to make a fun lewd game.
And as others said, more money doesn't automatically mean more/better content. They're a two man team and you'd need to find a person that's fitting on an art, business and personal level.
Also it's July/August and I know you guys in the US are not used to get free days but here in Europe it's holiday season.

Still one of the best trainer games out there. I appreciate that the plot/story focus has always been consistent, and didn't wander off into the weeds (like some other popular games).

Yeah, would have been better being a random like in book 2. And being able to steal Tenzins wife would have been cool... Oh well.

Maybe the love route will have you playing as someone else or a random? That being said, I don't know if its been added in yet and its what I'm waiting for.
