I develop games myself, unity & unreal (not adult ones, sorry guys

). I can guarantee it doesn't take this much time to bring out the amount of content this dev does, I would say one month is more than enough. The rendering takes the most time but only if you have a middle to low end pc setup. Coding for a visual novel is very easy and quick once you know what the story is going to be. Unless the dev has a day job and this game is his side hobby, he is very clearly either delaying his updates (to make money as I gather from many posts here) or he might just be lazy and have a bad work ethic. I gotta say, in game development, not staying true to your word or lying about your game is one of the lowest things a dev can do. We all know how games like Fifa etc say they will be different every year but they rarely are. Anyway, I hope the patrons get their money's worth at the very least. Happy new year folks.
P.s. it's a shame the dev has a bad work ethic cz this game is really good. To top off the bad news, it's a slow burn as well. Oh well.
