To everyone not keeping up with the dev logs etc (which is fine): the dev also didn't have the funds to continue the Bus Ride story. DAZ assets are expensive, especially non standard stuff. While the dev was making this alternative path, it also gave him some time to get some $$$ to slowly but surely get the funds needed to get the assets he needed to continue the storyline. This is his hobby and passion project, but honestly, it's not cheap lol.
Do keep in mind that the dev got kicked off of Patreon, so that's a financial setback already and well, since it's his first game, he doesn't have a backlog of assets he already owns. And of course some assets he can make, but this takes time
Feel free to check out his Discord page, the dev truly is working on this every moment he got and if you can miss a few quid, subbing on his Subscribestar might move things along in regards to getting the assets.
I think the update was a lot longer than the dev thought it was going to be and sure, not a lot of sex, but there's still a lot of worldbuiling imo and some background information regarding the mc. And the dialogue was top notch as usual, which sets this avn apart from many other titles.
