By town events I assume you mean the free roam ones? IE when you check one of your magical orbs and it says "Something is happening at the church." and you enter and find Haylen daydreaming about how she was riding Jazon a few minutes prior? Yes, those are "canon". Every event we see is canon to the story unless we're told otherwise.
Well, the Duke did allow her to leave the manor freely earlier in the game, so it shouldn't be that huge of a deal. Also yes, they are canon. As to whether they will be mentioned in the main storyline is another matter, but they can be seen as having happened at some point within the main story/ side story for Lily and Haylen.
It's safe to assume that virtually everything Rose engages in is due to the Duke allowing it to happen. The duke isn't necessarily trying to control her every step so much as he is trying to influence her thoughts and direct her actions to his benefit. So if Rose decides to leave the manor, sneak off to the slums, work a shift at that dive bar, and turn a few tricks then it's to the duke's benefit because he wouldn't allow it if it wasn't. The duke gives the impression of being a power mad control freak, but he doesn't really seem to care if his guards or other nobles fuck members of his maid harem. It's well within his established personality to let Rose to go out and have fun so long as she doesn't do anything that endangers herself or his power over her.

Enjoyed the update overall, Rose and Cyanna further rationalising their actions is probably a necessary step, all things considered. Still, I was hoping Haylen's portrait would slowly change from her wearing a dowdy habit to an obscene hentai sex-priestess outfit (and yes, broad hips are a must) but maybe that too is something you need to tread carefully around these days.
Eventually, I'd like Haylen to have such an outfit in her full-body portraits. It's just that, this time, I thought it'd be more fitting to have an outfit that reflected what she wore in-game.
As for the hips, I'd ask the artist to change it, but being busy as he is, one commission can take over one month to complete, so I have to prioritize more important work.
Yeah great trope. Do you remember how the bully got the mum? Did he threaten her or was she simply horny?
If it counts as a new commission then forget it, otherwise time isn't really important. I mean the next Haylen portrait will only come with update 16 or even later. So reworking the hips within one month wouldn't really matter. Time isn't important, it's more about money, how much would it cost to change. That said, while i can't remember what it was before this is the second or third time some detail in the portraits wasn't that spot on. It would be shamelss if he would charge much for small changes he's responsible for in the first place.

I'm planning on doing more side stories for the upcoming update
Money-wise, it's okay. Especially since I pay him in Japanese yen, which went from 1$ = 100 yens all the way up to 150 yens in the span of 1-2 years, so it's a lot cheaper now. Time really is the main concern. He's currently busy doing a rework of Cyanna and Rose's portraits due sometimes this month. Then, I have other stuff to commission after that.
Yeah, side stories skip over a lot of details^^
Play the update in which they are given a new portrait, if you are not a sub to the patreon then you'll have to wait for the next update in a couple of weeks or for a leak. When you do have the most recent update then look under the characters tab in the menu.
Do you mean HC4? Well yes, as long as people keep supporting me, I'll keep making games and try to improve the quality : ) HC4 is still a long way from now though, and the current plan is to have a smaller game in-between HC3&4, one that would be at most 2-3 hours long and that'll help me familiarize with the new graphics. That plan could be subject to change though : )
The HC series is a pixel art game first and foremost. Rather than spending money on CG, I'd much rather spend it on better pixel art. That doesn't mean it won't have the occasional CG, like in HC3 for some story events or character portraits, but that's about it.
As I say whenever this topic comes up... the focus on sprite animation makes Henteria Chronicles fairly unique. Even most Japanese RPGM games largely focus on CG over sprite work. Take that away and you lose some of the appeal, I can say without hesitation that I would not be a patreon sub if the HC games used CG.
And that's your prerogative. A place for every niche, N_Taii fills his and people support him for it. If you want something a little more CG heavy have you tried out Inatari? It's inspired by N_Taii's work and it uses CG with the occasional full animation, the sprite work in it is pretty bad but the focus is on the CGs so it's excusable. LIke HC1-3 corruption is a core focus.
