That false drowning scene was really tough to watch. The dev hit the nail on the head with asking, "How much does 'You have my consent' really prove?" I can't imagine any sex worker volunteers for something like that because they'll enjoy it, and Kathleen's...managerial style leaves a lot of doubt. And asking "Does she have parents who love her? Kids?" was exactly the right thing to amp up the horror.
Well, Carnations Club doesn't have this kind of problem since some of its patrons are the local police chief and an influential lawyer (oh boy!). And if I remember well, Old Bitch's husband is a high court judge.
What archetype of girls is missing in the game so far? Goth girl check, milf with children check,sadistic masochist gilf check, dumb blonde girl and muscular milf check, rich bitch blonde check.

To say Veronica "likes cock" is overselling it by far. More like she'll tolerate it if drunk enough and the dude looks kinda like a girl if she squints.

Sometimes after the crash it helps to load and play again and again and again till i jump over the scene with the problem.
But now I am stuck and this doesn't work on this scene.
Going by the log, your computer simply doesn't have enough free (video) memory to handle playing some animation, possibly because it's too large? Since there's no compressed version i'm not sure if there's anything that you can do about it (other than upgrade your hardware)
So, the numbers. I have a slight discrepancy with TD's numbers: I make it 462 statics since the last diary (2927-2465). That would work out to roughly 116 statics, 0.8 animations, and 2327 words per week since the previous report, and ~96 statics, 2.2 animations, and 1794 words since work on Chapter 4 Update 5 began. Here are the numbers for Week 30:
We're in uncharted territory now, and we're not out of the woods yet. We're still well short of GIL's estimated 20 additional animations from the last dev diary. That could indicate a change in plans, but more likely it means the animations will come towards the end of the scene, once the MC has made whatever fateful choices await him. Assuming ~3 weeks for debugging and playtesting, we still have plenty of time to crank out those missing animations and still add some statics for good measure. So I'd say the end of the year remains a viable target, but there's obviously plenty of room for error. Fingers remain crossed.
As far as TD and GIL delivering on the quality, I have full confidence in them. So far even updates that did't meet my tastes have satisfied, so I'm happy to trust their judgement here. The time it takes sucks, but the game has spent a lot of time building up the MC's relationships with the various girls; sooner or later you have to go big and pay that off with interest, or the whole thing will collapse under its own weight. If this is the time to pull the trigger, to start resolving those arcs rather than adding to them (as it sounds like), it's worth taking the time to do it right. This is one of the things you've been keeping the powder dry for, right?
