A 10th release doesn't mean the game goes to 1.0
It will go to 0.10 and 0.11 and so on. It's gonna be hard to finish this with 18 releases altogether, but hopefully a monthly release cycle will help to move through the story quicker.
I get it, you want P in V. But if I give it to you too fast you won't like it. It will feel undeserved, empty and rushed.
Remember, in DoD the MC had the spell to bypass most of the taboo that comes with *cough* roommates/landlady *cough*
In MP, Connor doesn't have supernatural powers, so it always feels wrong to push too far too soon with lewd scenes when it comes to those characters.
On the other hand, I don't really want to make any more 'throwaway' characters who Connor can just fuck and then dump. This game has enough characters already. However I can say that things are going to heat up from now on. In the last 2 updates, the 3 main girls have come to terms with the fact that they are attracted to Connor (among other characters). This is a big step towards eventual sex scenes. And as far as I'm concerned, when it comes to these type of games, the journey is better than the destination.
