A little off-topic but do you have any recommendations? I love a woman who can kick my ass

Sadly, as far as H-games "action style" go, I have no solid recommendations.
Enlit3d's games (a category of its own)- his games are probably the ideal case scenario for the fetish.

For some clarity:
On the right graph, be sure to click "All". It still boggles my mind that this Scamomancer is raking in over $23k+/- a month right now and over the last year he went from like $16k to current $23k. That's just insane. For such little content released, he made something like $240k last year. *sighs* Yeah, I had high hopes back in the MaTM days...not now though.
On a side note, to -

Two games I think EVERYone should play through at least once: Noxian Nights - https://f95zone.to/threads/noxian-nights-v1-2-4-hreinn-games.2/ & Karryn's Prison - https://f95zone.to/threads/karryns-prison-v1-2-5-7-dlcs-remtairy.33777/. That second you can even buy on Steam to show off to friends & family. Enjoy.

Might explain a fuckton of bugfixes that should be ignored in 80% of the cases. Pareto principle is still true to this day - 80% of the work is responsible for 20% of the results, while 20% of the work is responsible for 80% of the results. Ero is obviously doing it the wrong way, focusing on small details that don't bring in any value whatsoever...
Trust me, it is enough. Why you guys always try to calculate wages and costs as if everything is done in fucking NYC, Silicon Valley or goddamn Liechtenstein? I've just did my quick research. In more than HALF of the european countries, you can get more than a decent developer with experience in gamedev + an artist, both on full time payroll and you will still end up with fuckton of money to spare or hire TWO more people and pay them well. And that is if you want to keep it in the wider west...if you move to some asian/african/s.american countries, you can actually get a full bloody team for that money. Companies like Accenture have outsource centers in Argentina or Poland for a reason...and keep in mind that gamedev is a low-cost industry so salaries are often way below the required skills for similar positions in typical business enviroment (like the ERP systems or business applications). That's exactly the same reason why there's a huge boom of gamedev companies in the Central/Eastern Europe over the last two decades...and if I recall correctly, some people in Eromancer's team were from Ukraine and most likely ended up in Poland or other surrounding countries.
Now, a different problem is that he relies too much on people he knows which is rarely the cheapest option and far from the best. I myself am showed time and time again that taking cheap/free services from "friends" is often a road to higher costs in the long run because they are people and they still want to be paid...or else they'll just do a shit job, not because of malice but because they are not motivated hard enough.

But...is anyone forcing you to do that? I wouldn't dare to rob you of 10-15s of your life xD
TLDR; - Eromancer is full of shit, wasting time, money and effort on something that is not giving value.
Hello! Can someone tell why the game doesn't start? I started the game but is staying in loading screen. Thank you

If there is only 1 artist/animator doing all the work, then it could somewhat explain why new content is coming so slowly.

not an excuse when solo devs put out much more content. gameplay-wise AND H-wise.
yeah i know not to compare yada yada. but we're talking about multiple people in a team with a huge amount of budget.
no excuse for having an extremely low amount of output both H and gameplay...

Well i'm not a dev so i can't judge in what order or how things should be done. Something like cooking a steak seems easy, just season it and heat it, until you realize there is some technique required to get perfect results. I'm sure game development is the same and i'm not qualified to speak that much on it, but sure assuming things are that straightforward it could seem that way.
i did say a while back that Ero told us "if you know a someone willing to do this tell me and i'll be happy to hire them" i believe i told Yojimbo543 that. I explained he wanted programmers not artist, he has enough of those. Programmers can easily make a much better living outside being a dev for a small lewd game which is why they don't bite. The posts from that discussion should still there, but this isn't something new, Yojimbo543 and i went over this.

Nope. The guy who's done most H-animations (Gifdoozer) is not part of Eromancer's 10+ team of artists. He gets hired/commissioned only to do the H-animations. He's fast and he makes top-quality animations.
He was hired back in Nov-2020, and in only 1 year (from Nov-2020 to Oct-2021) he made 8 H-animations (including grab animations, intros, transitions and outros).
The reason why the content is coming so slowly has nothing to do with him, but to Eromancer's ineptitude and mismanagement.
You also said that he hired 2 programmers in Jan-2023. It's been 8 months so... what have they been up to?
Are they still learning the very complex code this game has?
Was it just another lie? Or does it take 8 months to change the UI?
The income keeps growing, the team keeps growing, but the output keeps diminishing.
There is no such thing as a "perfect steak". And there is no such thing as a "perfect video game". As the old saying goes, "perfection is the enemy of good"
And this is EXACTLY the reason why Eromancer isn't fitted to develop a game. He's great as a Lead Artist and a decent marketing guy (when he doesn't shoot himself in the foot) but he has no clue on how to make a game. An art gallery and a game aren't the same (ESPECIALLY when said game is a Beat 'em Up)
I said it before and I say it again, he needs to hire a game developer, someone who understands how to make a game, any kind of game (preferably a Beat 'em Up, but anything will be better than Eromancer).
Also, Eromancer is not a perfectionist. Right now there are 50+ enemies already modeled and rigged - ready to be implemented in the game. If he was a perfectionist he would focus on a few enemies and try to make them "perfect". Instead he's jumping around many different enemies (and keeps adding new ones every month) and only puts less than 10% of them in the game. That's not how a perfectionist behaves. And that's not how a 10+ year adult video game developer behaves (because he's not a rookie - don't give the lame excuse that he's "learning" - he's been doing this long enough)
...Actually, that how a kid behaves. He starts working on an enemy, but gets bored and starts another, until he gets bored and tries a 3rd one. Rinse and repeat. That's how a child behaves, not an adult.
