Does this mean that in the prologue there will be a sex scene for each heroine? Cool if that's true.

I think what dev meant is that every heroine showed in the prologue will be pregnant at some point in the game, not that pregnancy itself will be in the prologue.Does this mean that in the prologue there will be a sex scene for each heroine? Cool if that's true.
This, but we do have a romance scene for all of the characters completed for the end of the prologue. The idea is you have a scene with whichever character you chose to spend time with on the night of the festival and 3 of those paths have h-scenes.
We have 3 new main heroines and a few new romanceable side characters coming very shortly after the prologue. Side characters will sometimes have pregnancy paths but they won't have separate story endings. We may add more heroines later.
What's the history of breaking save files been like? I just discovered this game and will probably get to it this week but it also looks like the next release will be soon.

I don't think they had any issues with the saves. But they are going back and adding things that you will miss if you don't start over.
We've had a few releases with save breaking changes. The game is planned to be stable after the 0.10 release, I'd suggest waiting just a bit longer to play the next version.
Please don`t make the mistake like so many other game devs that introduce a ton of heroines and then spread themself too thin so that each individual part for those heroines is super short and meaningless. Quality over quantity is better overall.

Version 0.10 is essentially done, but we're going to spend another month touching up the rest of the existing artwork and dialogue before the official release since this version is basically going to be our public demo. The 0.099 release that's about to go public has a lot of those touch ups too. The bump in quality will definitely be worth the wait IMO.

The story and most important scenes are done so we're doing an unnumbered supporter pre-release tomorrow. After that we're planning to spend another month or so finishing the rest of the scenes, adding in the final music tracks, touching up the existing artwork, and doing a partial rewrite. Version 0.10 is eventually going to be a public demo on Steam so we're going to spend some extra time on polish. Also this will be the biggest update we've done by far. Based on lines of code the entire game has somewhere in the range of a 25-50% increase in content.
Damn another month. Oh well I have already waited for a whole year
Another postponement of the release of the game for a month. Given the speed of the release of updates and the fact that even the prologue has not yet been released, we can get the final version like this ... never. It's a pity, of course, since the project in my opinion had potential, although i did not like the indicated genre of "gays".

Prologue pre-release is out now, but yeah we're being careful to avoid burnout since that's how a lot of these projects fail. The artist and I both work full-time jobs and only have nights and weekends for dev work. As of now we no longer have a backlog of core assets like backgrounds, sprites, and GUI to work on so we estimate we can add 3-4 standard scenes or 2 fully animated h-scenes per month. With this huge release in the final stages we're going to go back to our bi-monthly releases soon, then we'll try to shift that to monthly around spring.Another postponement of the release of the game for a month.
One thing that's really encouraging though is that the main complaint we've heard is that the game is good but we're just not making it fast enough. That's been edging us closer and closer to taking a huge risk and going all in on this. This summer depending on where we are with monthly support the artist is planning on leaving her job to do this full-time which would be a huge deal in terms of how fast we can produce content. Depending on how that goes the game could be done as soon as Q4 2024, but it's reeeally hard to estimate.

I believe there's a huge difference between what one can produce with Daz and HS versus hand drawn art, and particularly one this elaborate as yours. I have some friends who are artists and have a bit insight into the process. I know it takes time and you've mentioned it many times, but perhaps the message didn't follow through members here...
About taking the risk to quitting the day job... I've seen many good people and friends getting burned and adding to their shortcomings rather than making progress, so I would advise extreme caution.
But, if it means anything, I've no intention of ending my support anytime soon. Keep up the good work.
Good luck! I hope everything works out for you and you get additional financial support.
