I usually don't take part in discussions here, but you both go at it without an ounce of nuance in your logic.
After 5 years of development, especially if you have been supporting a game for that long, it's understandable that you want to see progress with characters and with the genre it's supposed to be.
You are also right though, that after 5 ingame days, there is not really any reason for there to suddenly be any sex.
Wish more dev's realized that you don't have to make every game a solo dev passion project, but can outsource some stuff, or even just grab yourself 1 or 2 helpers.
While I agree, there's nuance I'm accounting for that you yourself don't seem to be: the dev has RL obligations, so even after several years, a project might not be nearly as far along as one would like. I myself also would like to see some real progress after all this time. I'm not going to pretend otherwise. The difference is that I accept that a dev going solo might make something take a very long time.
Your point about working with a team instead of solo is good, although one of the big problems is that very many devs feel obligated to pay (even if they're assured they don't need to) and so feel badly if they can't give those on their teams anything really in return. (And it
is fair; you don't want to agree to something and then get slapped with a lawsuit later or w/e.) Anyway, that was my entire reasoning: within the game it makes little sense, but add to that the dev having real life to contend with, which can mean much slower progress on the game.
But some of the LI already know the MC before the 5 days, the game gives a background of the characters, an ex who still likes him, her mother who also likes him. If there's a reason for BJ, why not sex?
The MC has only seen Maria twice (3 times if you count yoga), so I don't think there's been enough of an opportunity. The
breast groping, even if she pretends it was only b/c she was drunk, might very well have led to sex if Karla and Caprice hadn't come home; we might be getting pretty close with her.
As for Caprice, I think part of it is she's a big tease. But I think things might be close with her too; as you say, they already spent time previously advancing things in their relationship. If the MC has forgiven her and she's decided she's committed to him again, I don't see things taking all that much longer. We'll have to see where things go, but I do agree that at least some of the relationships are very close now —
the MC can get a BJ from Melanie; fingerbang Teri; kiss all over Haylee's body, making her cum by nipple sucking.
I find it hilarious that folks are putting up clown images, etc.

As if trying to insult me will change my opinion. Folks can meme away all they want. It doesn't change the fact that all of these renders require time. The more LIs there are, the more renders are needed per release. And now that we have actual animations in the game, that will increase the time to do releases that much more. So while I definitely would also like further progress with some of the LIs, I accept that having such will take quite awhile, especially with animations added into things now as well.
