Wow wow wow, this game is amazing! Shocked I've only just stumbled across this, animation, art style, character models are all superb.

New Patreon post. (Will share in a bit)
Not without editing files in the game, at least currently. In the future? There has been discussion about it to some degree. Although don't expect full blown public performance level exhibitionism, much more likely to be "Let's hide behind the bushes..."

Hello!
It's been a hectic month! We're really excited to show you what we've been up to, so let's dive right into it:
1) Our artists are chugging away at the standing art overhaul. To meet a reasonable release window, we've decided to prioritize "minimum wardrobes": a casual outfit, a superhero outfit, some underwear, and a swimsuit. The minimum wardrobes for Rogue and Jean are finished - left are Laura, Ororo, and Kurt. Never fear, we will be adding many more clothing updates in future (smaller/faster) updates.
2) Our UI designer has redone virtually every interface in the game in response to feedback from the community. It's a much more modern take that pairs really nicely with the refined art style of the sprites, and he's streamlined all of the systems to be more intuitive.
3) We've completely overhauled the sex system - you'll have to wait for more details, but the big pitch is that we've turned it into an (optional) mini-game that yields stat rewards for being a good lover. Your main goal will be to figure out what turns on which Character, something that will depend heavily on how turned on they already are.
4) I've been optimizing a lot and incorporated two large changes to game code that will 1) hopefully remove an entire group of bugs that have been frequently reported and 2) improve performance quite a bit across all systems. As such, we will be releasing a Hi-Res assets pack with 4K backgrounds alongside v0.3.
5) Finally... for the longest time, I thought it was impossible to use a more fluid animating system like Live2D in combination with our highly-customizable sprites. But I've had a big breakthrough that I think solves every problem. That's right - the next big thing coming after v0.3 is a total overhaul of animations using the power of Live2D.
Some logistic items: we're still trying really hard for early January, but the clothing items take time to get right and to make cross-compatible. In addition, because we will be changing such a large chunk of the game - in particular, new events that are only available in a given season - we have decided to untie our hands a bit and not worry about making the game compatible with old saves. Trust us, you're going to want to start a new game anyways.

Very exciting updates.

Heart skipped a beat when I saw sex mini-game. Glad it is listed as optional. I have never really encountered one that did not become tedious very quickly. It becomes more about actions you have to take then actions you want to take.
Really looking forward to the rest, This is one of the Top-Tier quality games that have been revealed recently.

So this is one I will comment on further since RonChon clarified a bit over on the Discord (which I highly recommend joining).
"Mini-game" in this sense is not the typical "Match 3" or "Rhythm Game" Minigame. Rather, its more of just a scoring of whether you were a good lover or not. If you don't worry about that, there is no penalty for getting a quick BJ and dashing. However there are bonuses if you actually make sure the girl had fun too.
The updates sound great! I can't wait to try the new version! I've been an X-Men fan as long as I could read, so I notice all the little details put into the game for the real X-nerds 
Genuinely impressed with how well its turned out. And the story sections are great. Most of the time, its just stuff you have to click thru to get to the next "fun" part, but I'm interested to see where they go with it and what new events they come up with. Rogue, Laura and Jean were the perfect trio to start with I think, as they couldn't be more different and their in-game personality quirks are a fun addition.
I really can't praise this game enough. Its easily the best game of this type that I've played. Well paced, fantastic art and great writing.
Also, after seeing how good Rogue, Laura and Jean look, I can't wait to see how your art team creates Jubilee

"Already done everything" means you should have encountered the dating option already. I am assuming by that you mean that you have otherwise advanced the story to Summer and have maxed the Love and Trust stats on each of the girls.
There is a conversation with each girl that will trigger where they mention dating. At that point they say to text them when you are ready to go on the date. This has been something a lot of people have reported missing because they weren't paying attention to the dialogue.
So break out the phone, open to contacts, select a girl, and the option should be there.

Same, the game is unexpectedly grindy and not really in a fun way atm (it has many qualities but clearly not a quick way to enjoy porn content).

Because this game is more than porn. If you want a quick wank, go to pornhub. If you want a fun and more memorable time, play this.

The v0.3 update sound mostly like they fixed some issues that were honestly hurting the game experience.
Have there been any new events/stories announced?

I wouldn't call the game grindy. It definitely has more story driving it than your typical porn game though, so if that's something you're trying to speed run then I can see why you might feel that way. Fortunately, this is something that the Devs have been looking. Between the last pateon post and this one, it looks like they are trying to reduce some of the repetitive tasks and expand on the story events more - so it looks like it could be a win all around.
My thoughts exactly. This is the same reason it makes me a little sad when I see the questions that amount to "I was speeding through the dialogue without reading it.". The writers on this have put a ton of work into creating a compelling narrative. Even having dug deep in the code and played through it more times than I can count, I am still discovering little gems that I hadn't seen before. Studying alone, just as one example, has a whole host of different flavor texts that might display.
Nothing specific. So we know that the main story isn't expanding too much because that would be a new Chapter. They're still focused on getting the bugs worked out before they move forward with that. As I look through all the comments and discussions from the patreon page and the discord server, this is the best description so far
" The writers are working on more than 30 new character-specific scenes dispersed throughout Chapter I, as well as more than 15 new types of random interactions with mix-and-match combinatorics for reduced repetition."
But that's not all. One of the big pushes with this next update includes an art overhaul which adds more dynamic poses for the girls including new arm poses. I've been reluctant to share all the artwork from the discord server since I think its far better people come hang out there to get the big scoop but I guess since these have been out for a month and a half now it'll be alright.

And again, these are older versions that had been shared as a teaser on the Discord server. This doesn't even begin to touch on the further wardrobe expansions being handled to account for the new dynamic arm poses.
I imagine one day the clothing artist will hate long sleeves
