That really the thing, when nothing materializes the far end of the expected window or what actually materializes if it does.
On launch they had 25 rigs for 27 scenes. From what they've said and fact they've given contractwork to outside animators it seems they think their way out of this hole is more porn, almost like it's a porn game or something, so ~50 more chibi animation rigs packaged into a copy paste of the same game loop to be released on... sometime.
Games that have come back from the brink by missing a "ground running" 2-3 month update schedule are the ones that made major mechanic changes in response to backlash. Hell even muh no mans sky. All those things the "fans" think the game doesn't need. A Subverse with radiant sandbox combat as a framework for regular sex scene updates, the main porn scenes unlocked as rewards for using characters in story missions, a basic love bar relationsim to farm scenes from girls you haven't used in combat, etc.
You endeavor to not say anything stupid, to not double down, and then out of the blue you drop a game2 that's recut game1 into something hardly recognizable to everyone's benefit. Not exactly the tact being taken.
If a new build amounts to more sex scenes without context and "progression" via another hour of noninteractive VN cutscenes, the initial impression of the game is the final impression of the game.
