IMO named update is the monthly update about progression of update 0.4 .
I soooo hope I'm wrong .

The end of the month is approaching again, so it's time for the good, old monthly update post! Another thing also approaching is the release of version 0.4, which will add a completely new route for Alice as many will probably already know. So, let's get right to business.
I had a long winter vacation this year and also skipped January's Patreon payments as mentioned before. However, I still did some work during my vacation, especially with the new (but experimental) interactive 3D system. 0.4 should have a few interactive scenes if things go well. I also worked with the animations to produce more traditional pre-rendered videos. Before the real 0.4 release, I will publish a beta test release (or two), so I can fix any bugs or other issues related to those features.
Next, the major question: when will 0.4 be out? I might be able to squeeze 0.4 release to February, but I'll probably want to polish it more and the eventual release date will most likely end up in March. However, if this happens, I will also skip Patreon payment for March. This gives me some time to finish things up and you don't have to worry so much about my busted deadlines.
Also, a new series for $10 Patreons starts in a few days, get ready to vote which girls will feature next! Maybe there will even be a short video or two...
So, TL;DR:
* New tech in 0.4: interactive 3D and pre-rendered movies, at least a few of each. When I get the pipeline (and my skills) working smoothly, next releases should have more.
* There should be a test release or two before the real, full release.
* Release in February/March, official release date announced later.
* After 0.4 I will try out a bit faster release schedule with partial updates instead of releasing large, complete routes that take ages to finish. We'll see how it goes.
* Steam release at some point after 0.4 is out. Steam has been pretty random with adult games, so who knows what can happen.
Thanks for everyone for your support again! Let's keep things rolling!
Have to confess that when i started to pay the dev on patreon I took in consideration he is not so fast with his game updates an that's why I got one of the lower tiers .
So now I wouldn't care to pay monthly even when not updating .

I still like that he is taking his time and doing it out of passion rather than for money. Once some devs get a taste of the income kool-aid their product goes to shit.
I'm sure he feels some form of obligation to keep going but I'll gladly continue support as long as I sense it's genuine.

How many devs stop monthly Patreon when they don't push out a update? Stencibilits is doing a pretty good VN so it worths the wait.

A few that I back have done this, but not many can push out consistently high-quality stuff every release!
If you read stencilbits's posting history, they state that at least Nina and Alice are Daz models rendered using Blender.

I've heard somewhere that Jane won't have a route or isn't a LI and she was in this poll right after 0.3, now i wanna know if the dev has any plans to add a route for Jane cuz she's my fav (i don't follow this thread so if this has been talked about sorry)

She wasn't getting a route but then she was added to a poll which, for reasons i'll never understand, Alice won and Jane barely got any love so I don't know if she'll get a route.

From discord ( when I asked how many routes there will be and for which girl) :
Paths in total? The original plan was to have routes for for Amy, Melissa and Nina and some adult scenes for Alice, Kate and Helen. But things grew and it's pretty much up to you guys to vote after Alice is ready. Plus there are also Jane and one new side character in 0.4. And the harem solution.
It might be that not every girl will get a route or they'll get a shortened one. I'll plan to continue Offcuts for at least a year or so and once 0.4 is out I'll try to put out shorter (and faster) updates so people might want to "try out" different characters. I already have a next project in mind, but it's still in idea stage.

So even Kate and Helen might get short routes? but if that's the case then it doesn't do them justice compared to the other 4 girls (Alice yet to be released) imo.

Blender Coded in Ren”Py where devs render in real time movements of the chars!
Better read the thread more and see their genius!

You'll still be waiting 6+ months for a full route to be finished you'll just have long gaps between story.
