he can always go the Depth Revival route, forsake deep conversation or connections between characters and turn this entire game into a fantasy fuck fest.
The 'depth revival' could be still good if the Dev hadn't messed up his ending and he still start a new game with the same type of story.

The connection between characters in this game is what make this game special.

I dont like to excessively judge people but I kinda feel bad for the actual supporters, 1 year for a "porn game update", now just hope we get actual lewd content and not just kissing/rubbing.

I would definitely expect a full Alivia sex scene in next update after the teasing and heart-to-heart talk with her in two updates before.

Im sure he is behind in somewhere else, no one takes months to proofread all the texts for so long, he might be behind in the render count, which he usually does tell he has done a lot but tooks three months from the last year to complete them, but he did put vacation mode and didn't get sub money so this time he might also be doing the same thing, he is making this into a yearly update situation.
Yes. He kept saying the same translation/proofreading thing/small random thing to fix for the last three months. I think that the dev is not truthful on the real progress and may be hiding something. If the dev plans a yearly update going forward, then he should say that to his patreons.

No one is going to sub if he gives one year updates, the subscribe star is a one month payment method. If he does this, then he will be at a loss. Well the dev is just having some issues with taking too long to update.

A month and a half for copyediting on spelling and grammar seems... excessive.
I get why you'd think that. Its for the same reason I've had like a dozen different people volunteering to proofread the game for me so far only for maybe 3 of them to finish 1 or at most 2 of the smaller in-game days and then giving up on it. Not blaming anyone though, its quite easy to underestimate the time it takes to dig through these amounts of texts. To put it into perspective, one more update and the game could get pretty close to surpassing the bible in terms of word count.

I think I mentioned it somewhere before but v0.10 will have the most lewd scenes of any update so far (counting only scenes where at least one party reaches at least one orgasm as a lewd scenes) as well as multiple full penetration scenes with more than one girl. Whether that prospect is enough for someone to give me money I'll let them decide on their own though.

I also commented on that before, if v0.11 will take similar amounts of time as v0.10 or v0.9 there will be no v0.12. Other devs can pull it off but I'm not build for these development times, I need my regular dose of reassurance. So no, no yearly updates going forward.

I don't see how you don't have a lot of control to make small, frequent releases.
Especially since we are in a phase where multiple main and secondary characters are either fuckable or almost fuckable so it's possible that every release would have 1 or 2 sex scenes even if a PD is split into 3 parts. I'm having a hard time believing the community would ever be against that, especially if the alternative is a complete abandonment.

Both non-full-playable day releases or full days with less interaction are possible (I believe you said you prefer the latter).

If that is true then its all good man, I have no problems with delays or waiting a little longer as long as the content of the update justifies the development time. Wish u good luck so that you could finish the update soon.

I mean, there is 0 reason to lie about the cause of the delays, because it does not change the fact that those delays will happen.

And well, it takes time to proofread things. I have done it multiple times, even with the help of AI (e.g. with Transcriptions of Interviews) and it takes many, many hours to make it right. Plus, it will probably take longer if you do it in a language which is not your native language (which is the case here).
And overall, you cannot just sit there and do nothing else but proofreading, because your brain will simply shut off at some point, deleting the whole purpose why you proofread things.

Honestly, I would not mind if I have to wait longer. But I am not a supporter (sadly not possible for me to support on Subscribestar...).
And I would also not mind smaller Updates.

You are doing great work, your VN is one of the only two games here where I basically ignore everything else and play it ASAP, because it is just so good. So I am rooting for you!

After your latest statements, I'm wondering whether or not to continue. I'd like you to clarify what's going to happen next. As for the major updates, several of us have already told you to slow down a bit. Especially since you're reaching a point in the story where there will be more and more action because the MC is getting closer to a lot of girls. No one wants you to burn out. For your dose of reassurance: no one writes like you, and you have a real talent for creating your own animations. So keep going, 800/1000 renders with 1 or 2 sex scenes is more than enough for an update (for me)

I believe this should be the path going forward as well. It's clear that the scope of each individual day is far too big currently with far too many interactions with as many girls as possible resulting in updates taking a minimum of 8 months plus to release.

It would be much smarter going forward to make days shorter and have them focus primarily on 1-2 girls and limit interactions with other girls leaving them for other days. Plus the days ideally need to speed up at some point anyway with the mother going away on a business trip for several days and the date with the teacher not being until Thursday in game. Without doing a timeskip if the days are not sped up the date with the teacher and more scenes with mother would likely take a couple years which I'm pretty sure both the fans and the dev would not be happy with.

Feels like every update the dev is coming up with another reason why development is taking so long. If editing/proofreading takes so long even with help, couldn't you consider just... writing less? The writing in this game is pretty good but lets be real a lot of it is paragaphs of text that are way longer than they need to be, not to mention it's literally a porn game and most players are just going to skip most if not all of it. Gap between updates has gotten way too big for this game to be even remotely sustainable. You need to either drastically cut back on all this development bloat or start putting out half- or even quarter-builds.

Hard disagree on most of that. I seriously doubt "most of us" are going to skip ANY of it. If reading and an actual story aren't for you the internet is full of mindless porn you can go elsewhere and enjoy.
