The Patreon page is still updating. Oh well. I didn't pay to see what the updates are though.
The Patreon updates aren't anything substantial and they haven't been for a good while. Ditto his Discord comments.
We don't know how many completed renders there are, where he's at with the coding, or real sense of the progress that has been made in the last 18 months or anything resembling an ETA.

Usually what happens is, he'll talk a while about some tiny problem that he had to work out with morphs or assets that took him several days, how he's figured it all out and how he could have ignored this, by fixing it now, it'll improve future productivity by 40%. Maybe he'll talk a little about how in the future he hopes to implement XYZ feature and how that'll open up another dozen wonderful possibilities for the player, but he won't go into detail for fear of spoilers. And then maybe he'll post a generic image of a female character standing in a nondescript hallway. Or he'll do a special render of one of the princesses in another dress or perhaps modern clothing. Rinse and repeat two weeks later.

It's really not worth stressing out about his patreon, you're not missing anything.

This isn't unique to this developer, and in fact it seems to be a common thing a lot of devs like to do, but for the life of me, I just don't get it. If anything, it always comes off as "Look at this thing I spent my time on instead of the actual project!" which is an especially bad look when it's been multiple years since an actual update.

This happens often because its the way they found to scam most of them are lazy but since they are male and have ugly feet they resort to this instead of creating an of or similar

(1) I want to mention that dev post a lot imagens for patrons, and these images are with modern clothes or environment. I think that he will spent some time to create new bandels for halloween and christmass not for real game developing.
Also there are some imagens of new characters. So dev not afraid to make game more complicated.

(2) I think that with known number of characters dev can count number of combinations or a least number of main routes. If there was a real progress in development dev would be proud and said about some progress in some routes in dev news. Probably actual progress is much less than we expect.

For someone who plays this awesome game for free, I am willing to wait as long as it takes for the next installment. Although I hope this Dev doesn't turn Ecchi Sensei on us. Goddess Anna, protect us all.

He's saying that for over a year...he also never says what was already done, or still needs to be done (renders,animations, scenes). So, the updates he gives are just pointless
now where i have heard that before? oh right, from stoper's mouth.

He just sent me a discord DM, saying the next release is very large. But no ETA yet.
large compared to what? The non existing Avengers Doomsday script? To the last update? To an unabridged version of Pride and Prejudice?
large is relative.

Especially if all he's ever mentioned in his updates is, he worked on some new clothing or something like that, he solved something unimportant and in the future he will be so much faster etc...here are some renders of some girls in modern setting or in a hallway... Oh, and the update will be so large (every update from him in forever)

I'll just post this here so that people don't freak and feel that they're missing out because the Patreon is still active. This is the latest from the Dev:

"Scenes continue to get setup, and I'm still doing some writing. It's a nice flow though now with a writing day or two per week and the rest spent on render setups and some fixes. Chipping away at some bigger scenes lately, but things are flowing as smoothly as can be expected (probably should knock on some wood).

In addition to that, I've been doing clothing work for every character in the evenings and on weekends. It's nice to see some truly unique outfits, fixes to some lingering issues since my switch to the new render engine, and some much easier methods to get things like exposing a breast worked out. You can see some examples with Concordia, who was my test subject for that stuff awhile back.

Posing also continues to get easier, which is very nice. I even have some presets now as some characters have some persistent challenges there, but I've found other presets I can apply to quickly fix those. Like a lot of my workflow, as I've gotten more comfortable with all the tools available to me, I am constantly asking whether I could find an elegant solution to recurring problems, rather than just fixing them each time.

More of the same work schedule for the foreseeable future."



As you can see it's a whole lot of nothing, and no real suggestion of what progress is made or how close to completion the next update is.

Sure doesn sound like there will be a new episode anytime soon.
Or to summarize : '' i'm working on it, more clothing, getting better at the ''new'' engine, shit won't change anytime soon.''

The consistent thing is, he never gives any kind of sense of what he's already done. There's no sense that he's actually accomplished much of anything, whether he's halfway through with the update, 75%, 15% etc...

You would have thought after 18 months that he'd have some idea of where he's at, if indeed he's done anything.

When did he switch engines 2 years ago?
He was talking about shifting to Unreal as far back as 2022.

Wasn't chapter 11 already made with the 'new' engine ?
Ch 10 was released in dec 2022, so yeah, a bit more then 2 and half years since he has switched to Unreal and i would guess he did work and experiment a lot with it before he ever thought about switching.
