I find the problem not so much how often the updates happen but how slow the progress is. It took a year to get from 0.17 to 0.18, but there was not much new content to play.

I’m not complaining about this as such, if it takes a year to create such high quality content then that is time well spent.

What portion of development time is spent on writing, still images, animations, redoing old content to improve or fit new narrative, debugging, …

So continuing as things are is OK to me.

As someone with a lot of patience, I'd love to see larger content updates with each character being properly addressed. I'd say the main thing would be finding your groove once again, as regardless if the updates are large or small the development of the game is, reasonably so, in a slowed state. So whichever comes easier for you to get back into things is the option I'd prefer the most.

I would prefer larger updates in my opinion. If it was sold through a store that didn't require me to manually download and install patches, my opinion would be different, but I'm perfectly fine with large updates.

Forgive me for using AI to translate this, but I believe we should increase the update frequency to keep fans' enthusiasm high. However, every time there's an update when I use JoiPlay on my phone, downloading the new program and transferring my save files feels incredibly cumbersome. Would it be possible to use incremental updates for new versions, or perhaps provide players with an executable file that can handle the updates automatically? If the update process were simpler, I'd be much more willing to increase the update rate, which would definitely help maintain excitement for the game.

For the sake of the game not being considered abandoned the smaller updates would be best so your not risking losing players/potential donators
