There are also simpler issues story wise, that need to be reworked for the main story to function.

Pregnancy is always a big one and has been discussed many times in regards to the gameplay, and a lot of the story is forced to overlap or stall because of it. If I'm understanding what fans of the game want, they seem to prefer the ability to get every single woman pregnant in the game, including sex during that time.

Having Debbie reworked could solve a simple issue where she's pregnant while being kidnapped by the mob. This also applies to Jenny. Think how small a detail that is, but needs to be addressed. There's no dialogue for it AFAIK, so maybe they'll rewrite some for it, but the art still needs to be redone for all of the scenes, for something that happens outside of the main story.

This could also apply to any girl he takes to the eventual prom, potentially meeting them in the school after getting them pregnant, etc. The one solution they had for Eve, was that she was technically pulled from the storyline, but iirc, her pregnancy could also lock out your ability to advance the art teacher because it required you to interact with her at the school.

Is she a fan favorite? Have you looked at the previous poll results? She's not taken a top spot (or even near it) in a long long time.

Like, prior to v0.15.0 long time.

I think people voted for other women back then, and might still do now, because all updates, even the story is primarily focused on Debbie. You could even say that her story is complete unless they keep adding more, which they did with the Russian mafia where she got kidnapped.

It's not far-fetched to assume that people will vote for other women to see more scenes with them, than for Debbie who we have a lot of, even if it lacks scene variety.

Perfect example is Judith with 51% votes because we still only have a jerk off scene with her in the bathroom while she was one of the first girls we had any lewd scenes with in the game.
Heck, i would vote for Lucy, at this point because we got nothing from her except being the babysitter with a dismissing husband and a prude. There is a whole untapped story line

So these votes arent any indicators of who is a fan favorite or not. Rather who people would like to see updates from. And with that in mind, there is a case that Debbie is still a fan favorite when still 8% want to see more of her.

Because the "rework" is the same kind of rework Diane and Jenny got in 0.17 and 0.18. Which basically means that parts of her story get changed and a lot of assets and scenes will simply look better afterwards. By now playing the full version is really just a waste of time as you'll play old content that's less refined and worse looking. Either you play the new version update by update or you wait until her new story is done.

Debbie and Jenny and Diane were.... like..... pretty much the whole game at one point. Right? The rest of Summerville was just full of characters MC encountered while questing his way to family glory. There was never any real reason to vote for them - this isn't something I ever kept track of, and I honestly don't really care, but I think those three were more or less done (in the sense that MC was able to bed them) by the time he started running polls.

After the poll of the tech update the developer put in 3 till 4 years a few of scenes. Not more.
But now? What have he done the last 3 till 4 years on the tech update. In 3 till 4 years normally you can create a full game. I think in this 3 till 4 years he have the whole story done on tech-update - and till we wait on Ronda. But nothing coming and now... 3 till 4 years later we have this and the named it an update - no, that isnt't an upgrade. The update on the UI is cool and the new scene are fantastic. But 3 till 4 years for this new scenes? It is too low for an developer he earned 76.000$ - 128.000 every month. With this money he can get pros for help on this game. But no... he have part-timers for script, code, etc.

Yes, the game is free, but many people are fans and give him money on Patreon. For this money, and thats my opinion, is the development lame

I think he must be the old version finished and after that he can make a rework. If this rework go foreward everey 1-2 month i think i sit here and wait for the game when i finished the 80years... and i am 40.

I'm actually unsure if Mia wasn't squeezed in-between those three. Considering how bare bones her route is that just screams early game compared to even pre-tech Debbie or Diane.

haven't played in awhile, does the update finally get full version minus planned to be reworked, or is there still any old content that isn't available despite not being reworked?

A lot of content has not migrated to the preview of v21.0.0 at this time.
