It's a huge Tech update that metastasized into a full rework. To make a very long story short, they discovered during the process of updating the backgrounds that a great number of art assets were corrupted and/or missing and had to be re-exported. This in turn broke the rest of the game and necessitated having to re-do everything from posing to code. DC has also been taking the opportunity to add in a bunch of new stuff, possibly in an attempt to make up for the extended dev time.

Username7 has done a great job of chronicling dev comments from Picarto streams and the internal task tracker, so I'd recommend checking out his posts if you want more detail. And Hero1 periodically posts the official Patreon updates that fill in some of the other gaps. Otherwise, all we have to offer here is speculation.

Not really surprising when you start with a project you don't really think will go that far, build on that original foundation and then, once your scope has expanded, realize that your original foundation wasn't that suited. Imagine starting with a simple garden shed as your mancave and expanding it into a four-story house with garage and swimming pool.
You can make it work for a while, but almost everything either becomes a temporary solution or is held together with duct tape, spit and a prayer. Eventually you bite the bullet and just redo everything, but with a clear goal in mind and more experience.

I worked as a foundation inspector for years. This analogy gave me anxiety ;) (though a swimming pool would have no affect on the shed's original foundation, it made for a good and exagerrated visual.)

I've been waiting for Annie to get taken down a peg for over two years. (Cause I believe I got into the game back in 2020, but I can't remember.) But from what I can gather, that's not going to happen. (Especially, since it takes over one year to go from 0.20.16 to 0.20.16.2 or 0.20.17) Not only that, but I don't think Annie is high on their priority list of "girls to fuck."

So it’s been 6 month for 1 or 2% progress on the next big update.
judged by that we might have to wait at least 9 years for the update to release

let that sink in

there’s is literally nothing like this and GTA6 taking that long (and we all know gta took so long because they were making money with gta online. It’s likely the same.)
The developers have no incentive to speed up. I can’t think of anything that would take so long to develop. Even if they remake the whole game from ground up I don’t think progress should be so slow

6 months for 1% - 2% progress…

Ngl I've wanted to use the building a house analogy for months now and could never work it into a post oh and so I don't have to double post. There really hasn't been anything from Discord of interest the devs have been pretty mum about things aside what's already been said, the only things of note are one of the posers was sick for most of June and Stray hasn't posted in a public channel since mid May which fits with everyone saying he's got his nose to the grind stone recoding and rewiring everything.

See #9 through #15 in the 90th posting of my FAQ since February 2022 - I also highly recommend #1.
