I have plenty of different ideas on what to do after MGD, though nothing is decided of course given MGDs still lots left to do.
Your dedication to finishing your projects before starting new ones is appreciated. I've seen other devs branch off too often and lose sight, which inevitably delays progress on the thing people are paying for.
The v26ish type method was originally intended to reflect the progress in some way but it kind of massively got away from me and I do think main progress wise things are about 40-60% done?
cause captial->Casino->desert->pyramid->final area
with the capital being in progress
there is other side content I'd like to add as well but i dont know if that'd count towards main progress or if total development would be the metric.
Casino is part of the capital, right? I figured we were around the 60% mark, but I didn't want to assume too much. I don't think it would be realistic to say that version number would be a 1:1 progress bar since stuff like sex scenes, cgs, side content, etc is harder to measure since we don't have a progression bar of sorts for future content. I'd argue that side content based on its overall relevance to the main game could be counted as part of development progress. Otherwise, I'd say it's more indicative of "filler" or the equivalent of DLC in terms of whether players want to engage with it or not.
I'm actually surprised you didn't just make the side content into mods, but I also get why you didn't.
Anyway -- if I could mod, I would add the Shin Megami Tensei monster girls in there.

I jest, but I don't know that there are too many demons from SMT that would work in this kind of game. Actually, I'm surprised that we haven't seen fairies yet.
