I mean, the game is still in 0.0.21 and base on the two zero, I recog it's gonna take years or either abandoned.
According to PHWAMM during the second lockdown I experienced, he mentioned about his personal life being down and that he lost the work to the then 0.21 release and he had to start from scratch.
I assumed myself and most of the fan base was saddened by this news (not revealed and wasn't asked) and told to just get through life first before coming back to this game.
He has taken time to release the current version (0.21) but it was expected, but I (and maybe to a few others) don't know if he's going back to every other month releasing it.
Its a bit frustrating to see this game come to a slow crawl but with life up and down at this time it's not serious to immediately flame or moan about lack of updating (not accusing you or either).
I'd give him a few more months to hopefully get back into a normal routine in life and then assess his desire to continue this amazing game

.
on a personal note, his slow burn has slowed a lot more with the game, I expected some scenes at this point as the MC has clearly accepted her role, but his slow burn has become something else. Expect a nice naughty scene the next update and if not, that will tell you the way he wants the game to go.
