idk. I'm not subbed on the Patreon atm so I can't see what their last post says. If it's a small update then it could be. I think the last time they had a small update it only took two months.

I like the variety of choices and branching paths, though some feel unfinished or rough, probably due to time constraints or because they are considered less important. At the moment, the warrior and mage paths stand out as the most engaging since they appear to be the only ones connected to the main plot involving void creatures and gods, the latter only vaguely mentioned so far.
With so many branches, development must be challenging, so the delays are understandable. However, this slows the story down, which can be frustrating and makes it harder for players to stay interested after waiting for so long.
The sexual content mainly focuses on scenes where the heroine is portrayed as a slut or a sub, while other scenes feel milder or vanilla, sometimes even dull.
The lack of illustrations in some scenes is disappointing, and the mixture of very different art styles, likely from various artists, hurts the overall flow and makes it harder to follow the story smoothly.
That said, the game offers a fairly rich medieval fantasy world, even if it is somewhat traditional. Still, it remains difficult to tell where the story is heading.
The long delays and numerous branching choices have made the plot feel fragmented. Many paths are too short or lack impact, with quite a few left unfinished or abandoned. The writing could also be sharper.
Despite these flaws, I like that the three main paths have story choices with different outcomes, although this seems to be fading a bit. I also enjoy the mix of epic warrior scenes, strategy, politics, magic, fantasy, mythology, and heroic quests.

Yes, unless you consider whipping Kate and group rape of innkeeper's daughter (1GC both) as scenes.
HappyDaedalus is just trying to tie up loose ends (like the Gallow's Creek one in v0.7.9.9). And there're lots of them...

Yeah I get that, I would just prefer him to focus on the main storylines, because as you say there are a ton of side stories that if he did one between every major update it would prolong the main story for ages. which might not be bad for him I suppose
Well, Writing these sorts of branching stories is tough work. The creator should probably look at tying some loose ends and focus the story on a select few routes. Not sure if the dev posted anything about the explanation behind the change in artwork in patreon, it is a jarring change midway through the story but still just a fixable issue. And yes, some of the routes which get a lot of attention from the dev are very well done, I enjoy them too.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the developer felt overwhelmed by the number of branching paths and different storylines they probably wanted to include. That’s at least the impression I get when exploring the game and seeing how many of those paths just lead to dead ends or end abruptly. There’s also the Sailor path, which I find a bit counterintuitive and not very easy to access.
I have no idea what caused that jarring change in visual art halfway through. The mix of different visual styles and varying quality somewhat hurts the game's cohesion. At times, it’s almost hard to tell one character from another. I guess the developer didn’t have much choice but to rely on different artists here and there, whether because of budget or time constraints. So yeah, it’s a bit distracting but understandable.
Some improvements could be made in the writing as well, especially in terms of syntax and dialogue. You can tell the game went through different levels of writing quality, and some parts feel uneven. At least, that’s the impression I get.
That said, I’ve actually enjoyed following the Mage and Warrior paths in the story. To me, those seem the most promising so far. It remains to be seen if the game will live up to that potential as it progresses.

Well the change in art style is talked about a lot Im sure you can find a post explaining it somewhere. Basically the author hires different artists so they can get the updates out quicker, but once the game is done they intend for the main artist to redo everything they havent already done themself so it will be more cohesive. They've talked about it on the Patreon a few times.

Got some time & updated my old roadmap to v0.8.9.9. Also polished it a bit. It basically does the same as the old one:

Great job.... Doing god's work. Looks like the warrior queen path is the most flushed out as of now.
I wish the game would find a consistent art style and stick with it. Seeing something hand-drawn mixed with something that looks AI generated just feels disjointed and jarring.

Yeah, I haven't followed this game in a while, booted it up today and geez it was all over the place.
Still interested in what's to come but it's still just a headache.
The Datanodes download is getting flagged as malware for me. The Mega version came back clean. Haven't tried any of the others.
