Oh, I've been "off topic"d & yeeted multiple times in this thread while actively discussing the game just in the last few days. Apparently, critique & criticism of the game & it's dev isn't "on topic"
When people pull out from the patreon and stop giving him money. Which is never.

That's how it usually works here, but other threads(Wal for example) are not better and go full-simping and delete criticism as well without valid reasons.

At this point maybe the thread should be locked just like how it was done with some other games. Not like there's actually any constructive conversation going on except maybe when Hero posts another Patreon update.

Status Update! (Patreon)
2023-05-30 03:41:39
Content
Monthly status updates:
We know a lot of you are anxious about the release of the Tech Update and have voiced concerned with the the speed of development. The progress bar is not currently displaying an accurate progression of the work being done due to the nature of the Tech Update requiring a heavy amount of back and forth with content implementation (and testing). It makes it hard to "close" tasks until the update is stable and ready to ship. It also explains why art tasks were faster and simpler to close, while Posing and Code seem to trail behind. The majority of the art meant for the Tech Update is completed, yes. However I'm still improving and adding content while the remaining Code/Posing work gets wrapped up. The progress bar will be more reliable once we get back to the regular development cycle for stories and gameplay.
To better help fans understand the ongoing development, monthly status updates will be posted here on Patreon (at the end of each month) with a listed summary of all the work that's been done for each department. It won't list every single small change, but at the very least show the broad strokes of what's currently being done. This will paint a clearer picture of the development progress and perhaps get a feeling of how close we are getting to a release each month. Hopefully this will make some of you feel at ease with some of the questions you've had.
That being said, here's the first status update for this past month!
Art:
We hope this clears up some of fog surrounding the Tech Update and thank you for all the support.
Keep you posted!

Art:
- Assisted the Code/Posing devs with optimizing art and fixing inconsistencies. Such as unused art assets , missing shadows, missing character button variants and so on.

- All of Anna's (now named Abby) old art has been reworked and converted to new art assets + rig.
- Further improvements to the new Mia character art.
- Multiple assets renames to function with new codebase.
- Some character art assets needed splitting into multiple rig parts along with their meta data (Odette and Eve).
- Old Anon assets laying on beds needed legs extended/fixed to fit in widescreen.
- Daily live streams for art are still active (week days) starting around 2:00PM Eastern Time (ET) where you can watch me work and ask questions.
- Resolved minor bugs in reposing tool used by posers.

About your comment, first "this developer never have finish any game so comparing to those who have finish games its a bit off and second true that there is not dev like this one I never seen a developer of a indie game take years for a tech update on renpy, rpg maker, unity, etc.

So what's the point of redrawing perfectly fine CG's? Just to milk that patreon money?

Well, the answer to your first question has been posted dozens (hundred-plus?) times in this thread. Game is changed from 4:3 display ratio to 16:9 for better use on mobile devices (since it is the largest consumer base for the game, mobile gaming is also the largest market in video games, and the fastest growing market worldwide). This, as well as many other updates/coding revisions/fixes. The 20k images that already exist that get layered onto the backgrounds then needed to be reposed to be in the correct place for image composition with the new display ratio. You can learn more by reading #10 in my FAQ here: #70,855. I also recommend #1.
Answer to your second question. No.
Honestly this is nothing apart that the cg there is no gameplay just some random words that is not represent any of the following cg.

The further a popular game progresses the more stressful for the developer.
Creating content equal to players hype or better. Making sure the content is of our liking.
and also stress on creating a bad update that would make donators leave.
5, 8, 12 months is a LONG time but I wont mind if the dev would actually work and improve the game
rather than make players wait while everything is done.
last update did just that, low update came from months of wait. Wouldn't be surprised if dev lost 1 or more donators.

is there an incest patch for the current version? the one linked in OP for the 20.12 version doesn't work for me.
