why did sel even put the lifetime of the game to 10+ years from the start
I guess he calculated a hundred updates at least for his game, so, with two months of break each year, there's the 10+ years estimate.
What I wonder instead is why the original title was Hateful Summer, as if the resets would make it always summer (or maybe another reason?)

'Cos he wanted to, I guess, he obviously has a lot of story he wants to tell

Has she always had that butterfly pin?
Yup, it's been part of her beach swimsuit ensemble since she joined the cast

Could well be the case, maybe the idea of tying specific seasons to specific Gods came to him as he developed the setting a bit - or else maybe he originally envisioned the reset period covering just Summer instead of the school year.

Should I care about the hotfix
no. For the green route it adds nothing, for the red route it adds an in-game commentary about Selebus being a poor programmer/hotfixes events not shown as missed.

*I haven't downloaded it, speaking from the info we're given.

Yep, we are deff getting a reset.

Now will it be this update. Or next update; with Ayane as the lead?
Maybe it'll be something similar to the weirdness we had with the timeline/world skipping we had last Halloween but focused largely on Ayane? Or with her acting as the POV character for part of the RAS and Akira for the rest in the main events?

Last reset update was 0.45 - 0.44 ended with Sensei Quest, then 0.45 started with all the skipping and ended with the waiting room puzzle and the reset conclusion. Could be a similar situation/structure here (hopefully without anything resembling Sensei Quest lol).

The thing with the many Ayane events in .53?, might be a flashback of some sorts?
Iirc, after the conclusion of the last beach update and its happy/reset event, time was forwarded one or two weeks.
And Himawari picked up Ayane to bring her somewhere safe before that i think.

So maybe we get to see what happened with Ayane back then in the time that was skipped.
Some mother daughter time?, where afterwards Himawari erases most of Ayanes memories of it.

It just hit me today. Are there ramifications to name choices in this game? I always experimented with girls calling me daddy then rolling it back to see if they had specific dialogs and just defaulting to Akira... but I never tried key names. "Hey Ami, call me Sekai." "Hey Ami call me Nozomu or Hope." Hey Tsuneyo call me Yakisoba." I am sure that the immediate ramifications are just "pick another name", but I am curious if anyone know those people who delve into code have seen a "daddy flag" like the "cheater flag." I know it defaults to "Pick something else" but I am curious if it raises a flag of daddy or other name or something.

Though many key names you mentioned aren't a part of it, partially due to intentionally avoiding spoilers and partially due to Selly not planning far enough ahead; both understandable in this case though. Ami is one case, Sara is another (using son breaks her but using Shota will not).

Yup
