I know that they manage to pull through, but coding and some art, when they've done zero writing? I am almost certain that whatever got drawn is going get scrapped, because "it does not fit the story as it evolved while writing". Not just these, but the next few drawings will be pointless too, as "huge chunks of the story had to be redone to fit the overall narrative". Too early to say anything, but they surely have this tendency

From their last weekly report, Chestnut has started creating the new characters' sprites they'll be using in this update, while Pistachio has been reworking the code of Celestina's events in Holly's first quest and will start coding this update's sandbox structure. So there's nothing to write just yet. Why are you so salty about it?

Reworking is a bad thing as for me. I doubt it will improve the story.

How actually honest developers act when their projects has unforeseen events:

You can look at Captain Popcorn and indeed exclaim "what a legend!"
With this game? What a milker!

"Since the game isn’t in active production at the moment—apart from the Captain’s story rewrite—we’ve decided that there’s no immediate need to keep the Patreon open for payments. "

Yeah, that's what honest devs do when they are not developing anything, which was never the case here.

Because I still remember the polishing phase from the last update. And this is the type of practice that creates the need for so much polish aka redoing stuff. By the time they reach the later phase of development, whatever sprite they drew is very likely going to be obsolete. Wouldn't you rather call it out and prevent it, than letting it happen and defend them when they are taking time doing already done work?

How are you 'preventing' anything? At most, you are starting the whining cycle based on false assumptions we all grew tired of. The last update can not be taken as a standard cycle due to all the reasons we know. Most of the rework done in the polishing phase affected the earliest content done in that cycle - when their personal circumstances were the worst - and it was basically a storytelling issue, not an art issue. If those circumstances aren't there anymore, there's no real reason to be concerned about 'first drawings going obsolete'. It was never the case before.

They should make the game the way they think is right. Not the fans.
They don't think the way they did those scenes is right anymore. That's what a work in progress means.

I'm unsure if you actually know what a sprite is but I'm going to consider that you know so with that in mind you should understand that any changes or new versions of it required along the way wouldn't demand that much work to be made, since they are basically changes of expression, clothes, physical elements (like an injury, new tattoo, arm movement) so nothing too demanding that needs all time to be done.

Here's you confirming my "false assumption" in that same reply:
Most of the rework done in the polishing phase affected the earliest content done in that cycle.
Guess which part of the cycle they're in right now? Hence which artworks they are going to redo this time?
it was basically a storytelling issue, not an art issue
And the lack of which thing did I say will cause them to scrap the current art?
If those circumstances aren't there anymore, there's no real reason to be concerned about 'first drawings going obsolete'
The circumstances are still there: drawing stuff without properly writing the story. Also, the child isn't crawling back into the womb.

How are you 'preventing' anything?
Damn, if only the devs' moderator was here reading my posts

Consider this: there is already all the essential sprites for Holly in the game. What they are making right now is going to be for new scenarios. So new outfits, or full drawings in certain setups. Those are very susceptible to change if their current plan with the story get changed. Example: Current drawing is a sex scene in a chicken outfit. But by the time they are done with the story, that scene takes place in lizard island. So they have to redo the drawings with lizard outfit.
