I think a major reason for game development taking so long is that they (or rather Chestnut) create all their own art, rather than use one of the standard packages that most games use. That means that the art is far better quality, which is one of the things I like the most, but it does mean that it takes an awful lot longer. And from their weekly reports you can see that they are clearly perfectionists, which also slows things down.
Not really, look at the Siren games stories, about how the game is constantly delayed because of having the graphics outsourced.

So sickness (hip replacement) and a new side project (they got 2 kids now), and patreons wanting a bigger update, is largely too blame.

Calculated (425/867)/(455+974)*100 = 90.4%.

So an small improvement from previous with a bit more that 1%.
We are slowly getting there...

But the number of contents has been increased by 36 items.
Let be honest, we dont really care of this gomira.. it takes almost 2 years development for a character that we don't really care? cmoonn! there's more great character to develop.. Im just upset it looks look summertime saga now, better be abandoned..

By what I seen here (out of Patreon pools) are Gomira, Greta and Holly most wanted characters.

This people don't support dev and expect that the character they want it's done , I am paying and I now what character I want next I will vote for her but I don't go around leeching of something I don't support and crying because it's not doing what I want , also if you support you knew because devs are pretty clear with development ,right now what it's taking more time is writing the story because this game is story first not a sex scene viewer artist is even fixing older scenes until writer gets there so, also devs needed extra time because of personal health issues that's why the update it's taking more than usual and that's understandable

You are not the only one, and I have writen something like that also.

But writing this, I didn't like that drunk elf with 1 eye either, and after her quests, it's the one I love the most. So I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Of course it's unfortunately that this update takes so long...

Yeah... That's sad... I'm not accusing the devs of anything and I really like this game, but, it doesn't matter if they're working 24 x 7... At this pace I'll simply lose interest even if they're the most honest and hard-working people in the world. When I first played this game, it was two updates ago and it was a fantastic experience: it was full of content. Last update was meh... Not bad but short on content... Something I could finish in a short time. Usually, games with updates that short makes me even skip some of them to get a more meaningful experience, but in the case here how long I'll have to wait? 5 years or more? I hope, in that ammount of time, my life will have moved on...

In fact, I'm starting to think this is a problem of sandbox games in general -- and I'm not one those guys who complain about sandbox games, quite the opposite, I prefer them over pure VNs --, but there are few sandbox games that get meaninful updates. Many that I enjoy, though, release short updates with shorter intervals, so, if I skip one year, I get enough content. I don't think this will happen here...
I mean... yeah you're not wrong with this take. I've said it before that between the amount of time it takes to update these games, coupled with the itch that many of these devs feel to move on to the next thing (and people tend to pay for a new shiny) and real life stuff, it just seems inevitable.

I will say though that if people only paid for the games that got updated regularly you'd see a very different trend in the types of games and the amount of updates.

I think what you mean to say is you don't really care of this Gomira. Which is fine. No character is going to be universally liked. But one thing worth noting about these Devs is that they are letting subscribers pick which characters get chapters, so not only do A LOT of people like Gomira and want content with her, it is more than likely a MAJORITY of WaL fans want a Gomira chapter.

Worth thinking about.

Fact, my two most desired characters are the brown curly hair hottie and the wife of the fat bastard who works at the gate.

Myrtle's story and questline is complete, and Rose's was finished last release. There may be additional scenes added, but their storylines are wrapped up. The same is probably going to be the situation with Gomira: her storyline is wrapped up, but additional scenes later.

Well... Maybe because what's left is the majority who like her... Because... Let's think about it... The problem is not Gomira or any other character... The problem is... Well, I don't remember quite well since my last play, but let's say there are at least 6 love interests... With this method of rotating a focus love insterest each update, if I'm a fan of one specific character that's not loved by the majority, it's rational for me to leave... And with those long updates... I don't know how it works, but let's say Gomira gets an update now and then she goes to the end of the queue or wait in the bench for a few rounds... If I'm a fan of her I could enjoy the update but then come back about six years later because it's when she'll get a new update (and if it's not the case she'll be benched for a while, the fans of other characters will leave because only she'll get updates... It's a Catch 22).

P.S.: I honestly don't know how this rotation of characters per update work, and I'll be glad if someone can explain me, but I only see those two options: either some characters are benched because they got recent updates or you can choose among all charactes. Of course, the specifics of the benching may vary.
It's easy. After an update 'n' is out, devs open a poll with several options for the 'n+2' update. During those voting weeks, Patrons get to choose between continuing the main story (focusing on the main story's next girl -this was Lana's case, and the current waiting girl is Lady Madeline Goldenbush), or focusing on some side girl we already met (from the 4-5 different options given by devs). For instance, the last polling options were Holly (who eventually won), Lady Mad-main story, Gretta, Anne, and Maple. The winner gets her full story developed, so she's not 'benched' or in the queue for future rounds, she's done (except for the most extreme fetish content like pregnancy that will be tackled in the long future, when the main story is concluded or close to being concluded). So you can just sign up in their patron when a poll goes live, cast your vote, and cross your fingers. No need to keep around during the whole development cycle if the winner is not your preferred one - you'll get to play the game for free anyway when it's out, and then you can subscribe again to vote in the next poll.
