No. They are new characters that numeric is working on for the next update.

As to the panty dropping and titfuck, they exist in the current version.
As to when 2.0 will be completed and released, the author wrote this on April 30th:
To be honest, it's going to be a long time before Ver0.2.0 is released... I'm sorry. ..ver0.2.0 is not just about combat, it's about creating many new content and challenge to build a better foundation for the future. There are also a lot of erotic scenes. Please understand that it will take some time to complete the work. There is a possibility of scaling back the volume and releasing it early, but that's something we're looking into.

I disagree with the decision to couple the content update of a new girl and world elements, but the wait should be worth it. The MC movement/parkour demo video was quite nice.

I don't and I strongly suggest that NumericGazer opens up a poll for patreons, so we can vote if we want to cut content to get an update faster (Alice) or to wait for the overambitious amount of content they want to push.
The moment a Patreon project becomes too ambitious is normally a big and glaring red flag. I don't know if NumericGazers intentions were always to make this game an open world RPG or not but I do hope they consider and decide not to go through with that idea. Keeping this game as a turn-based, defeat enemy #1 to progress to enemy #2 and progress the story through pre-fight cutscenes and so on would be great. It means more promptly development updates, keeping the Patreons who are paying real money happy so they don't feel like they're paying for nothing, and also it means the developer can focus on making the things that worked best in the game so far. The fluid animations, the appealing combat, and of course the major sex appeal.
I agree, porn should be kept good and somewhat simple, as soon as they try turn it into a full game that needs a team of people working on it, you know its going to be bad

This is definitely depends on the game. In these circumstances with it being a patreon project it can start to become a bit too ambitious to do all this at once. But this doesn't mean porn games can't succeed. Look at succubus affection that game is fucking amazing and it was made by a small group of people mostly funded by japans version of patreon.
Comparing fully rigged 3D models animated at >20fps doing light femdom vs. 4 pixels awkwardly bumping into each other at 0.5 fps meant to look like a titjob... Seems like a fair comparison.

For real. The models, textures, and animation are AAA quality, not to mention VAs are pretty incredible too. As a single Dev that put this work out only in June of 19, and only JUST started hiring some help while providing constant feedback and Demos of completed work, I'm giving this guy the benefit of the doubt. Would I like faster things and less ambition, sure. But this is HIS vision, we're just reaping FREE rewards, unless you're a Patron. This is one of those to keep track of for sure tho.
I don't care if his vision is a half-baked open world game. I followed his patreon because it was a promising high quality turn based H-Game, but the fact that it's been more than a half a year and no 2nd girl released ON TOP of making the game open world, then it's never gonna be finished or it'll be half-baked garbage. If you expect me to believe he'll make an open world game by himself with a few people he hired and not expect it to be padding filler or boring as shit, then you're naive. I want more variety of girls and H-scenes yet here we are with the usual patreon shit of over ambition or milking the patreon for as long as he can.
There's nuance between complaining about things you pirate for free, and expressing frustration with another promising developer biting off more than they can chew (or more than has ever been chewed in a h-game).
I can't always tell who's just complaining about the free stuff they got though
I've been following this game for a while and feel possessed to write gameplay fanfiction for it.
Game begins with Hero Boy (the player) seeking shelter as an unearthly fog or mist descends on the dark forest path Hero is walking, skewering all telltale signs that he is walking deeper into dangerous territory (this is all told through cutscenes) This is where everything seen in the UTW demo comes in, albeit maybe made slightly easier in difficulty as this is the player's first introduction into what the game has to offer. After the Witch is defeated she *poofs* off somewhere and Hero finds (through cutscene) shelter at a nearby cave or a very foreboding looking house owned by the coven of witches the Witch you just defeated was a part of. (maybe after her defeat she gives you directions to the place in the hopes of further trickery?)
after this, the very limited "open world" gameplay shows up. The player has about 300ft of roaming and exploration distance to walk, run, and maybe jump inside a very linearly designed area (combat of any sort only happens in story battles as seen in the Under The Witch demo), everywhere the game's story takes the player will be like this in terms of roaming and exploring. Take for example when you're at the Witch coven cave / house. You may walk around the cave / house, but anything that looks like an exit to the outside/back to the forest will be an invisible wall to the player unless going outside is where the player is supposed to go in order to progress the story. If the player goes off the beaten track within his limited space he might be able to find a H-card of sorts to unlock hidden sex scenes, or maybe you can find the room of the Witch you previously defeated and as an easter egg you can observe that her rooms decor and furnishings are all made out of the bodies of all the fallen heroes she has broken (a reference to the failure state in the Under The Witch demo where if you lose to her she makes you into her eternal chair to sit on)
Maybe you can talk to NPC characters who give you simplistic side quests all leading back to the main story that is all told through pre-fight cutscenes and very linear setpiece moments.
Maybe I've been shitting and moaning far too much but I think something like this sounds far more reasonable than an open world for a very small group of developers. Sorry if my post cluttered up the thread, I really just want to see this game succeed.
