Just want to note, May to July is not actually that rare of a time gap for this game. It's been 2 weeks to a month for bug fixes then 2-3 months for a .1 increment since at least 1.3, and that is still better then a great number of patreon games.
Normal procedure/time frame is:
- Main version 0.1.x
- after some days, first bug fix: 0.1.x.1
- after 2 to 4 weeks a content update (0.1.x.2) which is optional, so happens not for every version
- 5 to 8 weeks for the next major update (counting from the content update if there was any)
if holidays get in the way like now or during summer, it can be 2 weeks longer
About the 2 new girls Miriam and Mercedes:
- their jobs are lifeguard and security
- they are special characters, so they will have special scenes only and none of the basic stuff
- there will be some quests for the new characters in the initial release, that will be continued later on ( I don't want to spoil the surprise)
--> the quest system has been enhanced to handle main + sub quests (no screnshots right now, because it would countain spoilers)
- Miriam will have a lot more content than Mercedes for the initial release
- in the initial release, Miriam will be on lifeguard duty at the beach and Mercedes will handle security in the night bar
- Miriam and Mercedes will visit the gym at night, so you can meet them there as well (0.1.8 or later)
- there are plans to have Mercedes on lifeguard duty at the pool and Miriam on security duty too (this will be 0.1.9 or later)
