Hopefully they actually switched him from wearing slides all the time, and finally made him wear shoes

Same. I hate flip flops but they look especially bad on the mc. Why is he wearing flip flops on a bike, a scooter, while driving, playing basketball, running, and everything else? I hate it so much.

But the devs said DC does it because he likes flip flops and feet. Ugh.

No interest for him. The business model of Patreon is to keep a project going for as long as possible. So, once the fan base is established, the goal is to slow down the project as much as possible without losing too many contributors. With the new version of Ren'Py, it's a godsend: there's an excuse to put the whole project on hold for months or even years under the pretext of "Oh no, we need the new version" (seriously, the old one worked just fine). Going back to the old version would mean having to move the project forward and losing an excuse for a long break.


As long as he keeps the project running, his Patreon will be thriving, but as soon as he runs out of ideas and ends the project, he'll lose 50 to 70% of his contributors in the following months. So, let’s not kid ourselves—most creators on Patreon, except for a few genuinely honest ones, will always try to slow down their project as much as possible, even if it means releasing an update every six months with the same amount of content they used to deliver monthly during the first two years.

Like clockwork. The adult VN space (and others) is a game of getting their Patreon/SS going to then milk it.
This dev almost finished his cash cow so he found a reason to slow it down. Same for 95% of the others.

As I wrote previously, it's like a test of their soul.

"Developer, what will you do when you have unchecked money that comes in no matter how little you work?"

95% answer with "less work". Some even answer "Jack shit".

It's a rare few that keep working hard but, more importantly, every dev that slows their work to milk it is just admitting that they fear or believe that they can't do it again. They do not trust that they can make another work that is as well received as the one they're now milking. That's all it is. Whether this guy, L&P (AWAM), JOHN, etc they're terrified that if they finish the first game they found financial success with they aren't good enough to make another project people will love as much.
The twist is that by believing that and milking their one successful work they guarantee that will be the case. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy for them.

"Allowed three new lewd animations, intended for future quests, to be previewed early." What are these animations and how can i see them ?

there are mornings when you peek at debbie's while she's in the shower, an extra option shows up that enables preview of sex in the bathroom, afaik this option only shows up when you see her masturbating while showering (not while drying up), and the other preview is in the evening, while she's in the kitchen
