After reviewing version 0.2.4, I have some thoughts about the shortcomings of the game. If the developer reads the comments here, he will see them. If not, then perhaps there are people here who can pass this information on to him.
Perhaps some problems have already been written about (including here). Perhaps something has already been fixed. And, of course, there is no guarantee that I have not made any mistakes in my judgments.
It seems that I have described everything that I noticed (for now). Of course, there are many more problematic pictures in the game, I just gave a few examples for each type of problem. I didn't write about the language errors because, firstly, I don't know English very well, and secondly, there are a lot of them. However, I'm sure the author is aware of this.
Of course, there are still many questions of varying degrees of idiocy (for example, will the governor be the MC's love interest (or at least an sex object(we know that Donnie has already done that)), but I think we'll find out the answers later, in the game.
Despite its flaws, it's one of the best visual novels in the story-driven adventure genre (where the only gameplay element is player's choice) and one of my favorites.
Developing a game that requires rendering a lot of images is always a compromise between speed and quality. If the author edited each scene a hundred times and made a bunch of test renders, then we would probably see updates once a year at best. However, it is also difficult not to see the things I described. Perhaps after the release of the first season, when the author has assistants, things will go better (as far as I know, he plans such a development of events).
Also, a lot depends on assets and funding. I think the community can help here. Let the author post lists of assets that he needs, and the community will track them and inform him, for example, about discounts, and also support with one-time donations in such cases.
For example, if DAZ 3D is having a sale, users will immediately notify the author by writing something like: There's a sale on the DAZ Store right now, you can get this, this, and this from your assets list. Here are a few bucks, take what you need most.
Or: This asset is currently on sale at a huge discount. Here's some money, it'll be just enough.
Or players can work together: There's a sale on the DAZ Store right now, here's some money for the occasion. And someone else will write what assets the author can buy at a good price.
Anyway, I want to say that users can help the author track discounts on the assets he needs, not only in DAZ Store, but also in other places. And a one-time donation is easier for wallet than a subscription, maybe it will be easier for someone to support the author in this way.
IIRC the dev just created the military branch because he had no money for assets to continue the main story and he is planing to add more branches...i really don't think he found other people to work for him if the money situation is that bad.

1. Cataloging, so as not to lump everything together. One spoiler - one issue.
2. Content under spoilers actually contains spoilers (thanks, Captain Obvious). Perhaps someone will look at the description of the problem in the title of some spoiler and decide that they do not want to look there.
