That's a fact of life. The greater the noob, the more urgent the problem. And the more you help, the less thanks you get.

Lol, we've been around 65% for about 5+ months, no way they do ~30% in less than 1. Go back a few hundred pages to the "leaks" showing we should get at least 1 more lewd batch (probably 2), the latest release was 1.5 month ago and we usually get an update every 4 months. Do the math and retry

Maybe it was just a very difficult 5%, and the remaining 30% is very easy.
I doubt it's the case, but it's funny if that was true.
It's not impossible, it could just be one giant blocker that's holding up everything else downstream on the programming side. It's also possible-albeit unlikely-that the game gets to the bugfix stage and a bug crops up that basically requires everything up to this point to be re-written.
Either way, for the would-be developers sitting at home, this long Tech Update should be taken as a pretty solid warning of the risks involved when deciding to make massive structural changes to a project far into development. It's clear that, thus far, the accrued goodwill towards the project hasn't evaporated, but it does leave one wondering how long that will last.
It's wouldn't be the first time one little problem caused a bottleneck that killed progress for the entire team, once it's gone the progress can fly forward.
And it wouldn't be the first time that the guy who is crap at guessing the percentages happens to be the one incharge of the progress charts (not to mention frequently forgetting to update them at all).

You missed the ~4 other coders who clusterfucked the code for 5+ years. And that DC himself "coded" for the better part of 4-5 early builds, thus requiring our current part-timer to unfuck all that alone and keep DC away from anything not art

If making really long updates is their way to milk patreons as long as they can, then let me say that's probably the worst strategy to do it anyway, here's why.
The game can't be finished, that's a fact you have almost endless possibilities and ideas to make, tons of character to develop and new to create. There are so much possibilities that making it slower is not even worth as it just kills the game slowly but surely.
There's still so much content to make and update, that DC would still have 4-5 years to at least do them without having to make slow ass updates every 1 year. The game has so much content potential that it doesn't make sense to make things slower on purpose. So either there's some internal issue that we don't know much about that makes the update release long or DC chooses the worst possible strategy for his incomes.

Actually, the strategy of doing as little as possible as long as the people pays ain't that bad. One day he'll lose the patreon subscribers, but as long as he doesn't spend the money in stuff, it's alright.

Code being the most extensive job here is kind of confusing. From my experience with code the sort of stuff they're doing isn't super taxing (though its been years since I tried my hand at it). Usually art is what takes the longest time to iron out all the wrinkles.
Posing however I totally get why that's a problem. One of the biggest time sinks on our last few projects.

Maybe they are trying something completely new, something that's more difficult to code, we might be in for a big surprise, maybe it will be a complete overhaul.

Looking at the progress table you can clearly see that art and posing are the longest bits to do, maybe the rest is easier to get it done...
That's why I said maybe only 1 month left of work. Coding shouldn't be that long and since art and posing are basically done I'm positive about it.
