As TD already noted, he and GIL have created 219 statics, 10 animations and 6177 words in the 22 days between diaries. That gives them a holiday average of roughly 70 statics, 3.2 animations and 1965 words per week. Overall, they are averaging ~102 statics, 2.5 animations, and 2343 words per week since work on Chapter 3 Update 4 began. Here are the charts for Week 19:
I think the charts generally support TD's assessment of the situation: while we're approaching (or indeed, have already exceeded) what has generally been the end point for Chapter 4 updates, it seems there's still a substantial amount of work left. The big question is how much.
If we assume Part A accounts for nearly all of the latest batch of artwork AND assume we're about halfway through it, THEN go on to assume Part B will be roughly equivalent in size, that would get us somewhere on the order of 600 statics, 20 animations and 9000 additional words still to be added. Since we're already buying assumptions in bulk, let's add another and assume our devs will tackle the remainder at something approaching their peak overall average rate for this development, which is ~100 statics, 3.5 animations and 3000 words per week.
By that math it would take roughly 3 weeks to add the words, but nearer 6 weeks to polish off the statics and animations. In reality that could drop to 5 or maybe even 4 weeks if GIL has a secret cache of completed animations under his mattress and he can up his static production, but that still puts us solidly in the middle of February. Add in a week to clean up loose ends and a couple weeks for testing and we'd be looking for a release in early March, just as TD suggested.
Of course most of those numbers were complete guesswork and the rest still had a high percentage of speculation in them, so don't take any of this as gospel. The big takeaway is that this is a long race and we're not in the home stretch yet. That will probably be worth it eventually when we get lots of ways to spend time with Felicia, but we should plan to make it through February without her. Such is the cross we bear.
This game is on another level of storytelling and depravity. All the girls are hot too and I love how the MC can push them further. I'm a supporter and think the creators deserve props for making such a brilliant visual novel.

One wants to survive, the other to attain wealth and the last to be accepted by other wealthy people around her.
And it seems they'll do anything to get what they want. The lady who failed to compete reduces herself to sexual furniture to be used and abused by whoever chooses.
The competition is just the means to an end for all three of them. If we can find an alternative path to that end for at least two of them it's entirely possible we could help have our cake and eat it too. Obviously easier said than done, but hope springs eternal.
IMO all of their problems can be helped, just not exclusively through the exhibition. 1st is a money problem, you can technically get someone else or your own cash to pay her out, or atleast buy her time. Veronica mostly needs to change her model, and shut down unused facilities to save cost. Felicia problem is a whole different level, mostly psychological one. Probably best to get her to stay away from the club tbh, atleast until MC and Hana took over

It's always a money problem, though with varying amount. Felicia needed money to save her school, Veronica needs money to save her gym club and Rosalind needs money to save her life

Money alone ain't gonna save Veronica gym though. Its like a money sink, her business model is just not profitable. Felicia has money, just can't access it easily. Felicia wants a source of income, influence and power i believe
