A Yakuza reference in TNH... the devs have more culture than I imagined. Truly the most moment of all time.

What do you mean by "unknown if it will actually happen" ? They not getting enough patreon subscriptions?

Well the past updates till now have pretty much been fixes, groundworks and such. Which could have been added with chapters instead of 7 updates worth of nothing. So in short, whether or not the next update actually will be the start of Chapter 2 or not remains to be seen.
We've had this discussion before and have been very transparent with our development goals. Solid foundation first before moving onto the next chapter. Patreon has no bearing on whether future updates or chapters will happen or not, it just speeds art up.

Yet how long is that foundation going to take exactly? Sure, it makes sense to lay it all down and get it in place before hand. But I'm sure some want to see more of this story and girls than to have another update that just tweaks and adjustments again.
You could consider doing a piece of a chapter, with works and foundation in hand, and simply add on to or adjust with the following update. Granted, it would increase the possible build time, specially with possible fixes to be had. Yet at the same time, your moving the story along as well, giving people and fans more content which they expect and want.

O damn! I guess I know what I'm checking out next time I turn on the game.So... this already exists in game. Although, there isn't information for all enemies quite yet.
There are multiple tabs talking about Juggernaut for example, as well as recommend reading material in the comics if you wanted to learn more.

I thiiiink it's just for helping the girls pregame. though I'd love if it gave them the chance to have awkward public interactions or something.
It's in the game. Either you bugged out or you user-errored your way out of progression. (she's probably my favorite
)currently the variety is via the dialog and narration during those scenes, grabbing a masochist Rogue's hand will be treated rather different than a big-sister Jean. Though I believe it's planned to eventually have custom CGs and shiz once the art budget allows it. Like you said, work in progress.
not yet, though you can get some flirty flavor text if you shower while a gal is in the room with you, work in progress.
I believe the current plan is to do quality of life and system additions for the next couple of updates, though I'm not sure if they've gone into detail into what those are in particular. And then once we get to 1.0, then we'll start progressing into year/chapter/season two in 1.1
Disclaimer: I'm not a dev or anything, so I could be wrong on any of these.
tldr; let them cook

It has been said multiple times in this thread that 1.0 will be "feature complete" and 1.1 will be "start of Chapter 2 story", with the expectation that after 1.0 story will progress faster as all the basics are in place. They have also said that they're reluctant to add more story until the basics are in place to avoid the hiatus/rework delays that so many large games have had as they have to go back and untangle old code.
Once the basics are in place (i.e. post 1.0) it's only really art that's the bottleneck then - and we've seen various preview art already in place for that, so initially seems it would be at a pace that might please you.
0.7a was a pretty good story update, and 0.7b is going back to update cinematics in the rest of the chapter.

So in short we are looking at Chapter 2 being added in two years or so. Cool. Cool cool cool.
Could give a fuck less on the previews since they mean jack all.

i think we should let the developers do their thing, they want to get all systems in place throughout the ver. 0.X ~ 1.0 so they don't have to deal remaking stuff later on. i played this game when it was 0.4 and liked it a lot, read their intentions and that made me wait patiently for 1.0 to dive back in (i know there was more stuff added in later versions but there are other stuff to play too). sure i would want more of the story right now, but i understand and respect the mindset of the team developing this.
tl;dr let'em cook!

SerHawkes: Since you and the community manager ain't cool with each other, I'll be the mediator and let you know when the new girls get added, okay?
We both follow RLE. Trust me bro.

I think Shiny said it a while back. EVERYTHING has consequences. But nothing that would permanently lose your chances with Rogue.
But to be less enigmatic about it, large/massive loss to love and trust (like, literally. That's what it's called in the code) and she'll remember this later on. But also, the game's not complete. That's all I know from where this game is now. More can be added later.
So, a month back, I finished a completely offline, browser-based CRM that I was building. It was my pet project. I'm the only coder on it. And when I say "finished" it's version 1.0. I expect more to come later. It took me close to 2 years.
Add to that writing, collaboration, waiting on art assets, yeah, it'll take a bit.
To quote the last CTO I worked with, "People expect that if a takes 9 months for a baby to be born, that with 9 women, it'll take 1 month for one baby to be born. That's not how that works."

This game is really boring because there are just 3 girls in the game and the only 1 that I am interested in is Jean Grey. I wish we didnt have to wait until Chapter 2 to date Storm or whomever else is being planned for Chapter 2. I dont know whose idea it was to wait until Chapter 2 to date Storm but it was obviously not a good choice.

I'll need a good chair and some popcorn for when the usuals wake up 'cause this is gonna be good.
Still waiting for my Persona 4/Chie reference, to be honest.

Another minor bug:
The half-price sale displays the reduced prices, but takes the full amount of cash upon sale. E.g. the acoustic guitar shows $500 reduced to $250, but if purchased, costs $500.
