What you are describing is the feature creep: a design choice of including multiple of features (character paths in this case) that ultimately water down the whole game. It seems that devs decided to develop all character paths simultaneously, which lead to present situation that the main plot is neglected. Instead of deciding "let us leave Chanwe out until the main plot is done", all her variants will be included: her normal version, her corrupted version, and her Chutlu-version. Then there are all multi-character plotlines which further complicate the development, and naturally the numerous interaction bugs when all paths are developed at the same time.
For this reason despite more than a year of development, V5 had less than two hours playing material even with 200k new words. The real amount of new content is likely between 6-12 hours, but you won't notice it if you won't explore all paths. In this case the correct design choice would be finishing the main plot with one or two selected characters, and built the rest of the game around them, instead of all paths are built simultaneously, which is the most ineffective way of developing anything.
The successful steam-launch, a sudden injection of cash, and following expansion, may sound like a blessing but they have their own problems: when organization suddenly grows it also becomes harder to manage and easily spirals out of control. Now, don't get me wrong, I like this game but I won't see this game going anywhere in a long time. Not all projects are successful.
Let us hope I am wrong
Happy new year!You also have to realize that this is a porn game, story or not. The better choice to keep the most people interested in the game's content is to flesh it out with an even spread of these scenes to hit as many interests as possible. I would not call Ravager a game with porn, it is most definitely a porn game, however good its story ends up being. As such, it makes sense for them to have the priorities they're currently displaying, making sure every possible character has content instead of just running with one or two 'main' characters and then adding more in later. This isn't some mainstream indie game they're trying to pack up and ship in a timely manner, and we shouldn't expect it to operate on the same timeline or priorities.
There's also another problem with developing as you've stated, and it's how Ravager's staff crew is set up. Each character has their own writer, and rushing the game forward while only working on a few characters doesn't make those characters go any faster, it just means all the other writers get to sit and twiddle their thumbs. Ravager is more styled as a large collaborative project than other games like it usually are, so there'd be no real point to making half the staff do nothing.

Glad to hear Naho isn't suddenly a "minor character", looking forward to the effects of pregnancy on her psyche
I disagree with your view on the game and its porn, even if it could (and most likely was) created with that idea in mind. Not necessarily because the story is good, as you've pointed out, but because the general idea the game is excellently executed. This idea being the concept of having a MC who is the big bad dragon instead of the hero who slays it. Because that's ultimately the premise, and I believe that the porn merely enhances it, since it makes sense a dragon would start not only killing people, but raping them as well. Instead of the porn becoming it's main focus when one is trying to experiment the game as intended, or at least enjoying the concept as a whole and not just that part of it.
But I digress; even if I enjoy the game for its premise and how it's entailed, I'm aware that a large amount of people most likely just get the general idea of what's going on and try to get the scene of the girl they like as quick as possible. Hence, I agree with the fact that this being an adult game makes it so the main focus in development would naturally be to have as much of the girls' scenes and story made, however this is to satisfy as many users as possible, rather than the latter being the main focus of the game itself.
Or maybe I'm deceiving myself into believing this so I don't have in my conscious the fact that I've enjoyed so much a game that its main purpose is for me to jack off instead of genuinely experience it. But who cares anyways.

I don't mind throwing them $$$ for this release. They've been doing great work for years and this is a huge achievement for them.
I would too, except that they refuse to sell the game on anything but steam.

Hey, thanks for the download link, but it's not working for me? I downloaded all files from the Google drive, extracted the zipped files into a folder, and tried to run the Ravager.exe but it never opens? Edit: Sorry, I think it's cause the game file is too large to be downloaded in one folder and that was causing issues. I'll have to wait till it's uploaded to a different download site.

When you go to the drive you must download 6 folders and files (3 folders and 3 files). I don't know what you are extracting but I didn't compress this release. The folders and files are game, lib and renpy then Ravager.exe, Ravager.py and Ravager.sh
Download all 6 and put into 1 folder all together then run it
