Expect this game having the same progress as AWAM - so we are here at the same moment we were 3 years ago with AWAM
not at all..... AWAM is a joke. We get full episodes when its time to update, idc how long it takes but we get a fulll episode. AWAM updates in 8 months and gives people 5 or 10mins of gameplay. The only thing you can say is remotely the same is sex scenes and thats because this game is building up story wise, would make no sense to have one here where as AWAM is miles past the point where he should of done one.

i legit dont care for sex scenes on this game, id rather it comes when its time, each update im just waiting to carry on the story and see how it plays out.

I 100% agree with this statement as we have had a lot more content in one update of "Hillside" than the last two updates of "aWam" combined

Exactly. Hillside is one of my favorite VNs, definitely in my top 20. I think the pacing is more than reasonable. While a few people would perhaps be satisfied, if the MC suddenly got it on with Charlotte and/or Emma next update, it would be a bizarre twist to the story, and seem quite out of place in the story with the characters and their motives so far.

I think the pacing is completely fitting to the story. Hopefully Darkblue is starting to feel better, and get back on track to an update every 2-3 months like in the past.

true but some sex doesn't hurt.
That is debatable. The sex scenes have to be coherent and/or serve the story. The scenes must be build around the story and not the other way around. Otherwise, that will hurt (the story that is)

PS : I'm not trolling, really. Your point made me think about that cxx

MC is not a little boy Charli can keep locked in the basement while the hooded creep molests both her kids.

MC met sweet and cute babes in this game, who are open and ready for some adventure.
MC is going mad with pent up frustration for all the restraints many nonsensical Charli is
weighing him down under.

MC does not seems to be highly frustrated. He developed feelings for <insert-chosen-LI-here>, but with all the time we can read what he thinks, he never was impatient or frustrated. He's not in heat ^^ and beside Lucy, all other LIs are not experiencing sexual frustrations that things are not going further.

Contrary to other games, Hillside does not allow us to shape MC's personality and feelings to match the player, we can only direct his choice

MC is a balding, impotent workaholic that is one midlife crisis away from killing our hero (i.e., Zak, aka the only guy getting any action) to obsessively protect his new charge better than the last one who got murdered under his incompetent watch.

At least, that's my headcanon until shown otherwise.

well hopefully Hillside will start to more than just continuing on this vanilla-whitenight-harem story line

Hillside is meant to be just that. Sure the dev can still stir a little and change his opinion on a few things, but a 180 turn ? Chances are few to none.

I don't see it happening. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm betting on this. The game is meant to be that : Vanilla (more or less) romance.
