They really should have delivered the main story in smaller chunks with each girl's update. Having the whole thing dumped in our laps in one three-part log really takes away from any interest or intrigue that could be built up by having the MC slowly unraveling the mystery of what happened to his father, and also really emphasizes how compartmentalized the story has become. I know the piecemeal Patreon development doesn't lend itself well to long-term planning, but it would have been cool to see some small clues revealed through interacting with the girls and their stories (like finding info on the Russian thugs through receipts at the tattoo parlor, or having Clyde reveal the location of drug stashes).As always, one can do nothing but guess. DC said quite a while ago that the scenes etc. are done and it looks like it's again the writing that slows the whole progress down a bit. Sploosh said himself a while a ago that he feels kinda burnt out by all this main story stuff, which is something I can really relate to. It's been far too much and far too big. Yet, I'd say a release by the end of february can be expected - if they really get it together, maybe a little earlier, given that on paper not much actually seems to be left.
The only interesting characters we've gotten as a result of the main story have been Tony and Maria; everything involving the Rumps was drawn-out and annoying, and I basically just gave up and skipped through most of Iwanka and Melonia's dialogue. Also, do we really need fifteen new parody characters in each update that we'll see and interact with once? It feels like we're indulging DC's need to amuse himself by drawing Gordon Ramsay or Keanu Reeves more than we're getting characters that serve an actual purpose in the story.
