Hey there, we're glad to hear that you loved what we have so far! Regarding the character dating options, we are currently undergoing a writing shift (explained in depth in this post https://www.patreon.com/posts/37708656). We will be changing how we go about the free time segments and reducing the cast of characters so that we can better focus on the characters people like most. We'll also be adjusting the dating menus to be more expressive and cut out the long list of crossed out options, showing only those that can be seen.
As for updating, we have paused our patreon for a few months as explained in that post, using the time to plan ahead and decide what to change in the game. When we have a new build ready, we will make an announcement about it.
Thanks for letting me know! I believe that a studio like yours are the ones who should be praised for their work! I absolutely loved the story and characters in game they are extremely amazing! Your studio did better on a story than many others could ever do. Amazing job and can't wait to see the game progress in the future!
