Yes.I've always wondered why the devs went with the whole "landlady" route instead of making them stepmom and stepsister. I'm not super into actual incest, so that would have been the ideal solution in my book. Is Patreon really that prudish?
They are. What they SHOULD have done is turn Debbie into Dad's girlfriend and Jenny into her daughter from a previous relationship, that way it makes more sense for MC to live with her after his father died and you get enough of an familial vibe while still skirting around Patreon policies by not having them be married. That small detail really makes a difference since the wouldn’t be "legal incest" (which is the entire issue with step-incest).I've always wondered why the devs went with the whole "landlady" route instead of making them stepmom and stepsister.

He already has a good part of the Ronda update art done. I wouldn't be surprised if that update comes right after the Tech.In the videos on Picarto he is or was working on art for future updates, for example the locations. So it is good possible that the next update(s) will be faster.
I would argue that for a game of this nature "almost everything is drawn by hand" after they get their shit together with the Tech update and all the code biz that is slowing them down the updates will take less time. Specially after their art is done. Call it wishful thinking or whatever, but a single route is not comparable to re-building most of the game.
I agree with your last sentence, but that wasn't my argument. My argument is that people shouldn't expect any change in the development cycles from before the tech update timeframe. 2-4 updates per year, depending upon content, etc. The art for R(h)onda's update may almost be done - but the coding most likely hasn't even started, nor the posing, and we know nothing about the script. So maybe it's a 3 month update rather than a 6 month - but again, that's speculation and I am a firm believer in not raising false hopes. Those false hopes breed animosity that we see day in and day out in many game threads on here.I would argue that for a game of this nature "almost everything is drawn by hand" after they get their shit together with the Tech update and all the code biz that is slowing them down the updates will take less time.

So end of last week on stream he was talking about how he gets a ton of messages asking about what the fuck is going on so he started toying with a "weekly" update on Patreon so he'd have something to point them at, the other day he said he settled on monthly because apparently taking an hour a week to write a post is to much of a waste of his time and he thinks it'd slow down development if he has to keep asking the team what they've done that week (His words not mine.). It's not like he's the lead dev who should know what his team's doing or that they have both daily morning meetings and a log for all the changes they make anything.Honestly I also have some question marks as to the timing of his decision to do monthly updates after all this time. It could just be nothing, but it's not far fetched to think that he's finally feeling some pressure.
Add tag "abandoned"
Earliest would be 30 April 2024When
It's honestly a prime example of why management is a skill and why good managers are needed in any company. His general attitude of "I can't be bothered" is fine for a supermarket clerk but isn't any good when you're the lead. This attitude is causing 99% of the problems and complaints with the development but oh well.So end of last week on stream he was talking about how he gets a ton of messages asking about what the fuck is going on so he started toying with a "weekly" update on Patreon so he'd have something to point them at, the other day he said he settled on monthly because apparently taking an hour a week to write a post is to much of a waste of his time and he thinks it'd slow down development if he has to keep asking the team what they've done that week (His words not mine.).

See #9, #10, #12 of my FAQ below in the 86th posting since Feb 2022. I also recommend #1.Sorry if the question is stupid, but is the game sort of completed? I don't really know what "pre-tech" means.
Means the author is reworking part of the game (a.k.a tech update), but there's plenty of content to be enjoyed already. As for whether it is "completed", depends on the definition. There are still things to be added but the main story line is completed.Sorry if the question is stupid, but is the game sort of completed? I don't really know what "pre-tech" means.
Thank you very much for the quick reply.See #9, #10, #12 of my FAQ below in the 86th posting since Feb 2022. I also recommend #1.
The "main" storyline was finished Mar 2021 (finding out what happened to the MC's father). There are still the goals of earning enough money and getting a date for the big dance.

I'm completely put off by direct incest and don't get the appeal, but I agree seeing landlady everywhere is a bit weird, especially since in practice the characters always behave in very familiar terms, which makes the whole "landlady" thing just come across as out of place. Step mom or dad's girlfriend as another user suggests seem much better imo, and preferably the dad should be an asshole, which he often is.I've always wondered why the devs went with the whole "landlady" route instead of making them stepmom and stepsister.

They've stated that once the game is "Done", they're going to release an official incest patch.They are. What they SHOULD have done is turn Debbie into Dad's girlfriend and Jenny into her daughter from a previous relationship, that way it makes more sense for MC to live with her after his father died and you get enough of an familial vibe while still skirting around Patreon policies by not having them be married.
