I just don't get it.
There's already Rogue-Like and The Null Hypothesis, so what's the point?
I know about the original SR7 comic and I really liked it, but I just don't see any reason to make ANOTHER game about X-Men, when there's clearly other stuff to be done. I doubt that there's anyone who asked for this.

There isn't an IP we won't touch, just because someone else has. SR7's work stretches a ton of different IPs from Ducktails, TMNT, League of Legends, Korra, Avatar (as Gunsmoke4), Marvel, Gargoyles, DCAU, DBZ, etc.
I will only say that while they are correct that Rogue Lust Powerslave is a cornerstone and exemplary piece of SR7's work....to the best of my knowledge it remains incomplete to this day. The last page I saw released was nine years ago.
Yes, you're correct. If I remember correctly we dropped it to continue SU. But even to this day it's still requested monthly. Vandalized was finished just before Rogue Lust.
Sorry for the tourist question but the last update was really 8 months ago? is there a roadmap anywhere or an eta for the next update?
We didn't release a roadmap this year, and will not moving forward. Last update was end of April to Gotham (0.51v)
yes but now he added another project so that roadmap is out the window
Again there was no roadmap this year and there won't be.
The lack of focus, id say, if you arent going to commit to the bit, then might aswell stay in your lane and work more on SU instead of half-assing both.
For example, for all the problems Oni has, he really does focus only on RLE, and when he puts on the effort he shows he can do good stuff like with Wanda.
Then you have Null hypothesis with an entire team in it, and that thing is probably the best X-men content that has been produced in who knows how long and puts Marvel to shame, wich is fucking ironic considering its a smut game.
I would disagree about focus. For 10 years the only project that had serious work on it is SU. We decided to pivot because we want to do more. Sorry that isn't something you like.
My theory is that SR7 saw how popular TNH and RLE are and suddenly became nostalgic about his ancient unfinished Rogue comic.
And like some people already mentioned his mental fortitude is the same of a caffeinated squirrel.
The way they develop SU or BoB should serve as a cautionary example to other devs of what to avoid.
Honestly I (Smokeshank) suggested we doing Rogue Lust: Powerslave because it's requested so often. We wanted a clean slate to do a pivot, and I thought it would catch everyone by surprise (mission accomplished!). I honestly never heard of Null Hypothesis until the comments here, but it looks interesting (SR7 may have heard of it he subs to a bunch of Patreons). Oni's Rogue Like has been around prior to SU, and we considered avoiding it. But in our opinion our project will be nothing similar other than IP, the art already is much higher quality and the scope will be much smaller.
Our planned content for this update came in around 5 months total. We have trimmed a month off to get within scope, for this update.The idea behind this project is allowing Patrons to be involved in the development process, something that we're unwilling to do with SU. This has been a constant request from patrons for 10 years. So our initial build will be an intentional rough draft, and patrons will help shape the end product while we tightly manage scope. There will only be two corruptable characters in this chapter. And if this chapter remains popular, we will do the other ones in the same fashion as this.
For SU, it's back being worked on after content for this release comes out. I would safely anticipate an SU update around Oct, and it's focus is Themy.
