"damn keyboard
"Really had me going thinking the nerd enemy was going to be the Nerd Shark from the first game and the previous character poll. Hoping the idea for Nerd Shark wasn't abandoned in favor of this new enemy.

It's crazy how the last few updates have been basically re-inventing the wheel. I commend the dedication (monetary incentive or otherwise) but it seems a bit excessive.for better explain; its a video with a new overlay, new combos and hero animations, your eyes will be surprised like mine how it will change the gameplay feelings and movements! boggle bones It's easy to surprise us even when he/she is a little stressed.

Yeah, I like what I'm seeing regarding the changes to gameplay, but not only is this not the first time when character gameplay was overhauled (I want to say that this is a second time, but I might be wrong), but at this point the game is updated once a year, two if we're lucky, and it seems like the next update is gonna feature a whopping one new enemy and this is too bad for a porn game.
I know that the progress report says that there two more enemies that will be added "soon", but I don't believe that this will happen "soon", because there is no "soon" with this game's update history
At this point, I do think that Happy Hearts Panic has overbloated itself beyond its original conception. Despite not even having more scenes than Happy Hearts Hell, one can infer that it lifespan as a live service game has long been overdue, especially with the unusual roadblocks with the recent updates. I don't know if this is an artistic bottleneck or coding delays, but I can see that the current system is either unsustainable or, realistically speaking, heavily slowed down.
I may have studied some managerial organization both IRL and online, but I'm not sure how one can increase the pace of a pixel porn game. I'm sure Doggiebones is doing at least more than the average workload.

And again, I do think Doggie has done commendable work...but why with the CONSTANT reworking of the HUD and animations? Iirc the last three updates running, which have taken over a year and a half altogether, have had some number of completely unnecessary gameplay changes, and they've overwritten each other each time.
It's just utterly baffling that they're wasting so much time reworking things that don't need reworked...unless they're at rock bottom on creativity and really can't think of anything else to do with the game. That's not an insult either, but a suggestion to step back and just take a look at what they want the game to be. If spending half a year to constantly reinvent basic features is really what they want, this project may as well be dead.
I recommend you reading these articles on what is live service, or games as a service.

Most porn games that aren't completed by release usually qualifies for the term "live service", and it isn't necessarily a sin to do. But just as I respect EA's SW BFII less than Pandemic's 2005 Star Wars Battlefront II, games that rest on the laurels of feedback-assisted updates are less impressive than ones that have less updates and less impressive than completed-by-release games.
I don't have an answer this this directly, but it does follow the trend on Youtube. It's best to see the history of its like-dislike system. First, it was a 5 star system, then it devolved into a green-red bar, then a blue-grey bar, then a darkgrey-whitegrey bar, and eventually the formal removal of the dislikes.
You will definitely notice a stark difference between 2007 youtube, 2011 youtube, 2015 youtube, 2019 youtube, and 2023 youtube. This a 4 year interval, yet each one, especially the HUD, feels like a different era. And the changes are not for the better. And I know for a fact that Youtube isn't the only one, but I chose this bc it's the most well-documented, courtesy of Emperorlemon (Also known as admiral ackbar who made the Never Ever series).
I cannot be definitive on the general trend of updating HUD. Maybe it's coding issues, maybe it's updating for modern audiences, maybe it's the preference of Doggiebones. Again, I cannot be definitive here.
I think these cases may be a bit too dissimilar despite the shared trend: Youtube changes its user interface constantly due to a combination of it being one of the most popular websites in history and the WILDLY quickly changing beliefs of modern society. I agree that it has been a downward trend, but that's expected: as Youtube has grown (and been bought out) they have had to broaden their treatment of different demographics, which unfortunately includes catering to clickbait, ragebait, "anti-woke" bullshit, and countless other idiotic trends that, while pathetic and unlikable, are absolutely profitable.
If anything, that's the most pessimistic parallel to be drawn: that Doggie is just doing what's profitable, that being endlessly milking patrons for nothingburger updates. I don't think this is the case though, and I do trust them when they say RL issues have been in the way since the world has been such an increasingly bad shithole since 2020. Even so, this game is a moneymaker for them, and I think they would be making way more if they just took some advice such as using a standard sprite sheet, cutting back on the pointless UI updates, and taking time to plan.
I feel like they burn themselves out trying to reinvent the game every update when all they need is to step back, focus on one area at a time, get an idea of the sex themes each area represents, and design some scenarios, THEN work on the game.
