Hope I'm wrong, but this late into the current month I think he'll wait until July 1st to drop it, even if he finishes earlier, just because of how Patreon billing works. The last update came out on August 1st.
- Thread starter 7767
- Start date
Cause group of testers don't need weeks to test a Renpy update if everything is good. There are not many routes and no sandbox as well. Pretty simple code.

I want to believe the dev wouldn't just sit on a fully functional release until the month changes. But maybe that's just wishful thinking.
Anyway, it seems that version 0.7 was available here only after the public release, more than 2 weeks later.

idk around 2 weeks seems common for mosts big games here, it's been 9 days since last patreon post so everything seems normal
Not sure where you got this from. The 0.7 update came out on August 1 and was leaked the same day or the next.

I got it from the fist page:
Then was it an additional update on the 17th? It's still 0.7.0 though.

Maybe the testers didn’t need that much time to go over the build and share their thoughts. But if their feedback included both technical issues and broader concerns about how the content might be received, that could have led Jestur to make further adjustments. Those changes may have taken time, which would explain delays in the early access rollout for Patreon backers, depending on their tier.
I don’t know if Patreon’s billing system plays any role in how Jestur plans or times his update releases. If it does, only he would be able to say. According to Patreon, creators are charged twice per cycle: once in the evening of the last day of the month and again in the late afternoon of the first day of the next month. Meanwhile, subscribers are either billed monthly based on the day they first subscribed, or the creator can charges their patrons upfront, in which case billing occurs on the first day of each month. I don’t know if this is the case for Jestur’s Patreon model. If that setup has any influence on the release schedule, only Jestur could explain how, although it is certainly possible.
There may also be more personal factors involved. Things like family responsibilities, upcoming summer breaks, or other commitments outside of development could affect the timing. Unless he chooses to talk about it, that remains entirely up to him.
Finally, since Patreon updates for games are usually released progressively based on backer tiers, it is normal for the full rollout to take a few weeks. The public version of the build usually comes last, after all backers have received access.

He might be referring to a beta leak or a build leak tied to a specific subscriber tier. I’d assume the OP refers to the latest version released, which is most likely the final public build of the update.

Jenny says in a scene she's not really into girls, so maybe Khloe and Valerie.
But I hope it's with Eric's girlfriend and her brunette tattooed friend. We barely met them, but they kinda look like they'd be down for it

I looked at the fight scene again and she might not necessarily be his girlfriend. But she seems to have lead to Tiffany breaking up with Eric.
Tiffany: "You're the one that lied about fucking that skank!"
College girl: "Hey! I'm not a skank!"
Khloe later tells us her name is Tori and "she's a little firecracker, you don't want to hold her in your hand too long"

Hmm, I guess we still have no clue who that tattooed brunette is, right ? I don’t think she’s appeared in the game yet. And the blonde seemed sort of like Eric’s girl, Tiffany’s ex. You know, the one you meet outside the school who gets you to hop in her car for a bit.

Oh, so that’s what it was, and that’s when you catch a quick look at the brunette.
