Are you ok? Do you need help? Wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
And? Still doesn't have anything to show for while milking 4k USD every month. I'm just very disgusted why there's so many obvious scammers on site

This update being so short, on top of it being one of 3 or more paths, does not bode well.

You seem to be suffering from Jealousy. It can be cured by getting a life, start by going outside and touching grass. The Dev finances is not your concern and as much as I like to complain about the slow burn, many people are enjoying this title and support it.
You also don't know what it COSTS to create these titles, it's not Free. Computer equipment (especially GPU's) cost money, so does the software and so does the Time the dev spends working on this title and other expenses.
Stop with the jealousy and enjoy the title or leave if you can't be civil in your discussion. Whining about the game is fine whining about the devs finances is not.

LOL I have a complete Library of games I purchased on a Steam sale and haven't gotten around to playing yet, so I understand the temptation.Totally understandable, I'm guilty of that too
Oh sure! Enjoy a game that doesn't even have enough contents despite spending almost 2 years. And the reason why I'm speaking this way is because I realized just how lazy and scummy this dev is, not to mention it's clear that he barely makes any effort in the game since the sheep blindly supporting someone who doesn't deserve them.

A lot of games artificially pad their playtime with grindy sandbox mechanics, stretching out minimal content to seem bigger. This dev chose not to do that and instead focused on making a proper AVN, full of content and meaningful choices. Just because it's not structured the way you personally prefer doesn't mean it's lacking. Quality over quantity.
Quality? Then where's 2 years of worth of "quality". There are lot of good devs on this site that actually delivers better quality games, updates and contents every month or two. Some of them already finished one or two games in same time period while this guy is just clearly milking money.

Not every AVN follows the same development cycle. Some games push out frequent updates with minimal content, while others take their time to ensure a polished, choice-driven experience. Rushing updates for the sake of quantity doesn’t equal quality. This game sticks to its vision rather than artificially inflating playtime or churning out filler. If that’s not your style, that’s fair, but calling it ‘milking’ just because it’s not following your preferred update schedule is a stretch.
Personally, I thought this update was a bit short, but that’s just me being greedy because I want more of Lilly. That said, I don’t help fund the project, so I don’t really have the right to complain. At the end of the day, the dev is delivering the game they set out to make, not just padding it for the sake of it.
The amount of content is quite good, but going forward, additional content is going to be spread thin in small updates one route at a time.
Sorry but I have to stop you there. My whole point literally flew over your head. What my main point is that this dev is taking advantage of people's trust and support while enticing and manipulating them with a tiny minimal effort. That's not what you call "polishing", it's called money milking. You polish a game or product AFTER you complete it and add more additional story and contents.
If anyone makes such minimal effort in any field then they would get fired in a day or within a week. I'll make it even more obvious for you, for example, you paid for a pizza but after spending 2 or 3 hours, when it came out it's so small that it can't even take one bite. How would you feel then?
Eromantis, thanks again for another episode, it's still captivating to watch Lily's (mis)adventures))
Also +1 for you to consider adding the game in Steam. Will gladly support you if you'll do so

Well..... I'm in it now
I get what you’re saying, but I don’t think it applies here. Game development, especially AVNs isn’t like making a pizza. It’s not about cranking out something as fast as possible; it’s about building a story, creating art, coding interactions, and making sure everything comes together in a meaningful way.
Could the updates be bigger? Sure. Do I wish there was more? Of course, I want more Lilly! But that doesn’t mean the dev is ‘manipulating’ people. No one is forced to support the project, and plenty of other games pad their content or push out rushed updates just to seem ‘bigger.’ This one sticks to its vision, even if that means slower releases.
If the game isn’t delivering what you want, that’s fair, but calling it ‘money milking’ assumes bad intentions when it is a slower, more deliberate process.
And if you really want to talk about devs milking support, I can point you to plenty of other games that make significantly more than this one while blatantly taking the piss with grindy sandbox mechanics, stretching out minimal content just to keep players hooked. Compared to that, this dev is at least being upfront about what the game is.
