1.5.0 - shortest update ever and it took 4 months of development. Expected much more, tbh.
And it's all while I got not the worst LIs & fuckbuddy combo in my first and main run & save:
Carol + Yuki = LI
Roxy + Nikki (still not confirmed, but anyway) = LI
Ashley = LI
Lexi = fb
Kim = fb
Sara = friends
Rachel - started & ended
Sasha - started & ended
Yeah, I got it and aware of it. I'm just comparing with numbers. None of previous updates didn't felt so short and "empty". While number of renders and animations are +- the same as in the previous ones. It's more about balancing the content between updates, I think.
It could be a good reason to replay game from scratch to put MC in different "conditions" and paths, but I don't think it will work in a proper way. Because dev started to destroy "harem" patterns lately and put some potential conflicts between LIs as well. So, the more girls we try to grab in one playthrough, the worse it will end sooner or later.
I didn't quite get what you meant with the LI list there, are you saying your save has Carol and Yuki, Roxy and Nikki, and Ashley as LIs and the rest not? Is that why it felt short to you?
I didn't feel like it was a short update, and for four months, I thought it was pretty decent actually, especially in comparison to some updates we've had recently after a much longer wait.
If you're not on Rachel and/or Sara paths, I get how this update would probably feel short though, and even more so if you're also not interacting with Sasha.
And your comment on harems is in direct conflict with my thoughts, as to me it looks like the harem opportunities are getting greater. There have been some points where LIs are getting closer to finding out about each other, but there are also explicit conversations (or at least one, so far) about a harem (using that exact word) and putting it together. Whether that means it will happen or not remains to be seen, but I certainly don't see a destruction of any "harem path".
