I will use my first comment to say that I love this game. The art, the story, the not so rushed sex (the rushed ones makes sense), the tension with Jade, the lust of agne, the Helltaker vibes of Céline, the Komi-San vibes of Annie (), and I could go on, but it's just a positive message for the devs. Love you guys, keep this going please!

My only counterargument is that we're hitting year three of development in half a year (as far as I'm aware, the thread here was generally released at the same time as it was initially released.) And while I don't know the specifics I have to ask if spending all this time reworking whatever is being reworked. Is it particularly worth the time it'd take to finish, or would that work be better off elsewhere to help add some proverbial meat to the bone? As the game is relatively limited in that regard. I don't want to claim it's entered development hell given its relatively moderate development span; three years isn't long all things considered. I also have to consider the state it's currently in and how it still feels like the prologue rather than further along than it feels like it should be from everything that I know.
After all, a game that takes 3 years to release fully even if not completely perfect will 9/10 times be far better received overall than a game that's remained in development hell for a decade.
Of course, if the rework is necessary and useful for the development of this game I see no issue with it.

As I have come into the scene late, I wasn't aware of the game until back in September, around when the patch was released. However, having seen a LOT of games and webcomics in development hell, or in hiatuses, I am familiar with the whole sad process of endless stalls. Perhaps my being "fresh" for this game has colored my thoughts on it, but I am inclined to believe that the devs will do just fine with this game in particular, given their recent postings, if for no other reason than I have lots of patience, and have seen other projects that were EIGHT years or more in dev hell.

Three years isn't actually that long of a dev period anyway, especially for an indie project. There are AAA projects that are in development for 5, 7, even 10 years (*cough TES 6 cough*)
That said, I don't see any need for any further redesigns, at least on the surface. Ruling out code refractoring of various sorts, I would expect this to move forward with very minor if any changes to the game's appearance and UI.

Does anyone know how to fix Agnes' error that's above her head? I keep seeing it when she bobs up and down but I don't know what image is missing because of how fast her bobbing is
