Not a good sign.I don't know about the rest, but as for the Steam version, it seems like it's almost on its way, as the page has been set up:

Oh god, there´s actually been an update on patreon regarding what can only be called "the steam incident". Reading it quickly, it seems he was like was putting everything into getting a steam release even using their assets, remapping the game with them for both windows and apple, but in the end they said no as they deemed one of the characters to be "under aged" or "high school", which they have refused to elaborate on through more correspondence, and steam pulled the rug from underneath him. There is more on patreon, and honestly I am kinda feel the guy atm but at the same time it´s not too surprising.

Is there even a school location on this game? But it is obvious that the younger roommate is not over 18
Projects that look good/promising attract a decent amount of attention and support, which leads to complacency over time. Or you have devs who really know how to make something look good, but it's nothing more than an empty facade with a mess of code behind it that's basically unmanageable, which means endless reworks/refactors/remasters with little to no meaningful development

You would think an "Every character in this game is 18 years old" disclaimer and turning the "HS" into a college would simply solve the problem, but then you remember, "Was Steam even on that road map and WTF happened to the 7 uh 6 updates that didn't happen this year?"

Dont know much about this game development since i found it very recently. The dev is milking it?

I don't think this dev is milking. Their problem is the fact that they are in over their head with some of the poor decisions they have made later in development. They obviously didn't do their homework on the Steam issue resulting in a huge waste of time. This most likely lead to their failure to drop the bulk of the roadmap updates for the year. Unless they get their act together and cut the BS this project will die.

Why did they even make a road map? Doubt it brought in any business, and it just serves as objective fuel to shit on their pacing since not only are they slow they're not even doing what they promised now.

If that was purely the case they would at least post art snippets as spoilers regularly, there are devs that only release once or twice a year that at least post mini spoilers every couple weeks so people know whats coming. Getting Steam approval is nice and all but it doesn't take 6 months and you can do other stuff while you wait.I don't think this dev is milking.

I work in software development and even on weeks where I am stuck on a bug or some other problem I still do a few other tasks just to show that I am not sitting around all day, if I went 6 months without any proof that I did anything other than work on one issue I would be fired on the spot; it wouldn't even take 6 months, a few weeks would be enough.

That's true. The dev's cat could have pissed on the HDD for all we know or an important team member bailed on them. The Steam thing was still a huge miscalculated mistake along with the lack of updates is going to cost them subs and trust.
