They are with the patch applied (despite some bugs in the script, though the typo mod fixes it). If not, they're just friends/adopted siblings.

Except for the fact that not only is she able to afford supercars and decorate them, she can casually spend almost $20k in a clothing store. A clothing store that knows her by name, meaning she frequents this highly expensive store. Not only that, but the high-scale restaurant she and the MC have attended is also on a name basis with her. Oh and let us not forget that she also has even more supercars for street racing only, amongst other things. There's also the fact that she lives in the wealthier side of town. Unless you deliberately ignore all of these things, there's nothing to suggest that she is not wealthy. I mean, I doubt someone with an annual salary of $600k can afford all of the things she buys casually...
Your statements about income are correct, but you're conflating income from salary with wealth. Unless they have substantial assets, if her parents were to stop working, their lifestyle would rapidly collapse. Wealth is self sustaining. Work or don't work, you live without monetary concerns, because your assets grow faster than your spending. So, depending on how aggressively you invest, to sustain a $500K life style you'd need assets of between $10-$15 million. We can debate what level of self sustained spending constitutes wealth, but in the US that's probably the minimum to be considered wealthy.
I'd forgotten the scene in the clothing store. You make an excellent point about her spending on clothing. Cars are an occasional purchase, and very high end restaurants are more affordable on a middle six figure income than you might expect, but people buy clothing, shoes, jewelry, etc all the time and casually spending $20k like that is the mark of the wealthy. I concede that she and or her family is wealthy.

Hopefully Ocean will be able to get a pair of A6000 GPUs eventually to speed things along.

Well, you could be a nice Guy and pay them for him. Easy Solution.
But there would be still a little prob and that is "Ocean loves every little detail" what hasn't really something todo with much mor expensive and powerfull gfx cards.Hah I don't have that level of cash just sitting around but I have made donations via Patreon even though I generally don't do Patreon - I liked this game enough that I did want to contribute to the cause as I would definitely like to see him hit his goals so he can build that professional rendering rig and speed things along. My biggest fear with this, and it's not specific to Ocean, but most devs that do this, is when they do upgrade their rigs, instead of speeding things along they just start pushing limits even further. It'd be nice if Ocean could strike a balance and increase dev speed while also adding bits here and there in terms graphics quality. At the end of the day those of us who are getting our wallets out would like to see the game quicker, ultimately.Well, you could be a nice Guy and pay them for him. Easy Solution.

Oh she knows this. I know for sure that this is definitely one of the things she thought about at this moment
While it may be a problem, MC seems to have already gone through something similar with Summer. Her seemingly being from an upper-class family as well. Oh and Bella doesn't really seem to mind that much outside of the occasional joke here and there. Before, when she could not tell that she was falling for him, she did not mind his status and rather chose to poke fun at it. It's only after she came to the realization that she's falling hard and fast for our MC, that she has this sort of mental break because of it. I think her reaction has more to do with her feeling this way about a guy than her feeling that way because of MC's status. I mean, we can't forget this scene lol
P.S: Now I'm not going to lie, in the real world, most women(including myself) will look out for whether or not a man is capable of supporting us and a family should it come to that. Money is attractive... that's a given. But not all women really care about that. In this case, MC is far from an idiot, and I can see someone like him becoming quite successful if they were to put their mind to it. Some women see this potential in guys, some don't, but I wouldn't say that couples like that are only limited to fairytales. It's not out of the ordinary to see a couple several social/financial classes apart. I was the product of such a union lol
Edit: Obviously I can't speak for all women lol. I'm just going based on my experiences as someone from the "upper class"

Considering what he was using to bring out the first updates, I'm actually a bit surprised that we got this one so early. His patreon is continuously growing, along with his funding. I doubt we'll have to wait 7 months for every single update. But maybe that's just me being an optimist...
Besides, with each update, I don't doubt that the popularity of his AVNs would spike each time. Meaning that he would have a continuous rise in patreon funding. The more popular his AVN, the more people become interested in supporting, the more he'd be able to pour into purchasing items that would assist in shortening his update period. That's of course, looking at what happened this time around. But then again... we'd all know this if we were using our common sense lol
P.S: That last part was meant as a joke. English isn't my first language

Yep I'm not going to comment on how women look at this as I'm not a woman, but I can tell you unequivocally as a guy, I never gave two shits about money pertaining to a woman I wanted to date. As a younger guy (I'm 39 now and married) in my dating days, I dated girls from all walks of life - I dated a couple girls who quite literally lived in the ghetto, and I dated girls who lived in $500k-1M homes (one girl was a U.S. Senator's daughter too at the time, believe it or not) - most guys don't care about this stuff, although I'll say the girls that come from money, like Bella, are usually tougher to get along with - they are generally more pretentious and significantly higher maintenance, so I honestly liked being around the girls from poorer backgrounds better as they were more down to earth and could hold a normal conversation much better.

99.99% it's the man that's the higher status, men and women look for different things in a partner that's for sure lol
If each chapter contains 3000 images, then I am sure that the story will end much earlier than chapter 30. Otherwise, this game will have more text than in the entire series of books about Harry Potter. I don't think Ocean has conceived such a global plot.

Don't kiss Bella but it's too hard bro

You will get those renders if you didn't kiss Bella (So Tough)
I am just guessing here as I am in the same boat you are, but I would imagine those are scenes where Bella is at the gym for the 2nd meet up, which didn't happen if you kiss Bella during the date (like we both did) - since we kissed her, she didn't come to school.
Edit - looks like some other peeps beat me to it.
