They could definitely do most if they really wanted to.Not me, I want F: all of the above.
It may sound a bit hypocritical after mentioning enjoying the holiday specials, but I'm completely in the same boat. I played 0.11.1 public version when it came out well over a year ago and absolutely loved it (still need to leave a review). After I finished it I made a wishlist of things I'd like to see in terms of progression of existing characters/storylines that I felt any combination of would make the game worth coming back to and supporting. It overlaps a bit with things you mentioned (I'd like to see most of those you brought up that I didn't even have on my list and I'm sure everyone has their own ideas of things they'd like to see progressed/continued and I'm betting I'd like to see those happen as well). To me the inclusion of the two magazine girls actually seemed unnecessary themselves as there were already a ton of underutilized characters and dangling plot threads. There's so many great characters and so much potential in a lot of setups that I feel will be meaningless if we don't get payoffs for at some point. I'm hoping we do and that they haven't been so ambitious in scope that it becomes impossible to ever cover it all.But I am hoping for returned momentum soon on the plot (yes I understand "plot" is not the right word--maybe "characters") with progress on Faye and Nina's story, the story about the other school's mean girl (very clever story that), Charlotte's secret, the restaurant owner's daughter, dating the secretary, the two magazine girl additions, volleyball, to name just the things that immediately come to mind. I mean, there really is a lot to get to already, without creating additional sidelines.
This game (chapter 2) has serious design problem. Usually in planning a game, a story, etc, you always need to carefully controlling the content. You might have tons of ideas, but you always need to keep your creation in size, selecting only the best of your ideas. Otherwise, you would have too much work to do without any real gain, or worse ruin the creation altogether.Anyone else revisiting recently just to play the xmas special again? As far as holiday specials go this game easily has my favs (Xmas and Debbie's Halloween). Ended up replaying other scenes as well - it's hard not to and it always reminds me of how well so much of this is done.

As an aside, anyone know if Donna is ever slated for real progression? I remember thinking she needed a serious attitude adjustment but seemed to be setup as redeemable from the way we see her stand up for others in earlier parts of the game. I do wonder if certain students are just going to remain as side characters or if it's intended for most of them to eventually get some level of proper progression (and if some of the storylines are just meant to playout within various scenes over time but may not be as fully explored otherwise - April/Charlotte rivalry for example) .
All that said, still an amazing game or I wouldn't be here talking about it. Happy Holidays!
As long as in the end, the game works, that is really all that matters. What you have to remember, we are all beta testing this shit. At one point, I had my grades up to 300 or so, and then that quest for Ruth came out, and it got bumped down to 50 until I did that quest, and then I could raise it again.This game (chapter 2) has serious design problem.

In this game, obviously you have dozens of girls, each could have her own story line.
Yet dev doesn't seems to do much control in chapter 2. In chapter 1 you basically only have debbie line, plus half way of cass, Rachael, Amy. In chapter 2, we have rachael, cass, pritie, amy, and are going to have liz, faye, alice, twins at least, then there are also hints about emily, charolin, donna... And this is still not the end of chapter 2 since we still don't have zoe.
You see the problem? Think about how long it took to make the content we already have. Then think about how long it is going to take to just finish chapter 2. Think about how oversized it is going to be. Dev announced tons of content, but probably it would be just too much for the dev to finish in reasonable time, and everyone just get tired waiting for their favorite content, and this game ends up abandoned....
It's totally understandable wanting to keep the patrons happy. This approach does have problems inherent in it but as you mentioned I think removing it as a reward would be a much bigger issue. Bit of a possible pickle, but I'm hoping it works out regardless.the content for each chapter is decided by a vote of the supporters. While it's not the way I would do things, it's what they chose to do, and voting is one of their patreon rewards, so changing it now would cause all kinds of problems.
This may be a hugely unpopular take, but my only real critique when I last played was I felt Rachel's development got tedious and I went from really liking her to starting to resent how much attention she required which definitely was not the intent as her story itself is rather endearing. Hoping this isn't as much of an issue when more of the characters eventually reach parity in terms of their development.In fact, I will be honest with you, Zoe is one of the ones I currently care least about, right up there near Cass.
While I do not share the feeling to that extent, I totally get what you mean. It is one of the pitfalls of playing a game in development, even more so if it is sandbox-ish. A lot of content for a single character will be in an update (here Rachel) and those of us who have played everything so far have nothing to do but to follow this content when in a finished game you will also in parallel punish Amy (which we already did) and corrupt Maxine (which isn't in the game yet and might just be as tedious), taking away the focus. So I am pretty hopeful your final prediction will come true.This may be a hugely unpopular take, but my only real critique when I last played was I felt Rachel's development got tedious and I went from really liking her to starting to resent how much attention she required which definitely was not the intent as her story itself is rather endearing.

Happy holidays everybody,
I just wanted to say merry Christmas and happy new year to all our patrons. Please enjoy this little Christmas scene of the girls wearing festive bikinis.
In my last development update, I said that I had been dealing with some health problems lately and at the time I was in and out of the hospital. I am happy to report that I am doing much better now and I'm well on my way to a full recovery. I’m not 100% healed up yet, but I'm getting there. I'm already back to work and progress on the game is back on track.
We’ve got lots of exciting things planned for the next update and beyond and 2023 is looking set to be a great year for the game.
Wishing you all a fantastic Christmas!
Altos and Herdone
P.S. I’ll post some topless and nude versions of these Christmas pictures in the Teacher's Lounge and Headmaster’s Study over on the Discord, so those on the Teacher and Deputy Head tiers should be sure to check that out (make sure to link your Patreon and Discord accounts in your Patreon settings to access the exclusive areas).
