when you have one hiatus or delay its considered an unavoidable inconvenience but when you have as many as SU has gone through, consistently, with a decline in the quality of updates (maybe not always in the art as much as coding or just missing features), it's a major issue with the entire production of the game. I realize that game dev is hard and especially so when it comes to the standards of internet coomers, even more so on f95 because a large portion of the audience here does not support (partially due to the questionable practices of the Patreon), but there is a standard of mutual understanding that should be followed with expectation of a product, in this case the game development and updates, that is lacking. Some of it can be chalked up to "artistic license" as I understand Sunset doesn't have to draw EXACTLY the characters we want, WHEN we want them, but if you're paying for the development of a long term game like this, there should at least be a little more of a input for the actual direction of the game beyond just picking what girl of the week we want in it (like the purpose of the Meta Bordello, which pretty much everyone has scrutinized)
tl;dr get your shit together because all of these delays only make your supporters jaded against you
