It's possible that aesthetics and cosmetics are tied to the progression of story elements or for unlocking characters, so making furniture etc available might be necessary. A Mermaid with a full-on fish tail might need some aquatic accommodations, for example.It really is, considering that they already had apparently the model from a while ago, and the base of the gameplay used on the other girls, I really dont understand why they are taking so long, it is not like it is something completely different or so unique that it is hard to apply.
I dont want to be pesimistic, but it seems to me that they are just milking the project for all it's worth by going slow than releasing updates consistently.
For example, looking at the posts on the patreon, they are apparently making specific furniture for each girl, instead on focusing on the girls themselves, which, in my opinion, is backwards. I would think that finishing the core of the game (all gameplay, girls and story) should be finished first before focusing on aesthetic parts of the game.
I'm not defending them for being slow by the way. I'm sure the exposure from Markiplier alone would have helped Steam sales so I'm sure they have money for bringing in extra help or outsourcing some stuff. Development should have sped up at least a little.
They've apparently been sitting on a completed Robot Girl model for over a year and Mermaid (which you mentioned) and Dragon Girl models for over 2 years. They're available to see over on ArtStation. I posted the link a couple of pages back but here they are again.

For them to take so long after they've been shared for them to be implemented does make me think there's definitely got to be more to it. If it was just a case of milking I don't think they'd have shared that they have completed models so early.
