I finished/released the last version on July 5th, so 3 months from then would be more around the start of October if everything still goes well. (The 3 months is more of an estimate of what I aim for though, so it can change.)
As for the animated version on itch, I do have plans for it in the future on itch, but it'll probably be sold for a price. Maybe around 15$, not sure yet.
I'm currently working on v0.10, which will be a big update that focus on both Violet's and Cecilia's romances.
I won't say exactly what will happen since I'm still working on it, but Violet's got a rather unique story, and she will be spending a lot of time at your home.
Lenya's story isnt finished and will be continued/eventually finished in a future update.
The reason v0.10 is starting Cecila/Violet content is because act 2, which the game currently is in, is focused on Lenya, Cecila, Violet and Jasmine romances.
I want to get all these girls romances started before I get deeper into act 2.
When I finally finish act 2, you'll get closure on all these girls and their stories, before I then move onto act 3.
Saves from versions that are older than the previously released version, dont work. There is an option when starting a new game, to choose which act you want to start from though.
All good, but save files older than 1 version are obsolete with the current version and will not work correctly. I.E only saves from v0.07 will work with v0.08. I talk about which saves are compatible in the change logs. You can also jump to the act you want to start, when creating a new game, if you want.
All good. I'm glad you enjoyed the recent updates.
Talking about more permanently scenes for the girls outside story, there will be more when that girl start living with you - Lily has about 4-5 unique sex scenes around the house right now.
Jasmine has about the same amount in the next update too.
And this will also apply for other girls, as they start living with you.
As for optimization, I'm still learning ways to make reduce this, without ruining the quality too much.
There's currently over 100-200 unique scenes and about 150000-200000 words so far in my game and I've currently reduced the game from 2gb-1gb, but I still want to improve this.
I'm glad you've enjoyed it so far. As for adding a gallery, right now I'm just focusing on creating more story/romance content for this game. So I unfortunately don't really have a lot of time to work on other features.
I can't do anything about that unfortunately. That's an issue with itch's server side. All I can say is try downloading again and see. If that still doesn't work, I have the free version on my patreon too. Just go to the about tab in my patreon, and there's a link in the description.
It's probably a bug with an outdated save file. Theres an option when making a new game, to jump to the start of act 2. Try that and you should be good.
It's all good. No need to feel pressure to pay. Although my patreon has the latest version v0.09, I always release the previous version on itch for free. So you can play v0.08 here if you want.
