Just to give context,
allegedly, Dudelde found a few years ago (2024?) that assets were being stripped and reverse engineered. Some streamers were also streaming not public content, so monthly game updates were halted. It's also just not good practice if sufficient backend work is to be done.
Patrons were told within the last 2 years that monthly updates would also stop as the game nears the finish line and the first completed game is supposed to release (originally late 2025, now it's mid-2026).
Developing a high quality project takes time and often goes beyond schedule, so it's understandable.
I do miss the monthly updates, seeing my favorite characters update and the allure of hot scenes made my month worthwhile. but it's seems to near the end.
Supposedly there's major spoilers after chapter 6, which is why most scenes haven't been shown (involving King Cronus and the Merchant, but it's kind of clear what will happen especially after Tharsix's plot).
I wouldn't buy monthly updates now, the latest update is just polishing up stock assets and sketches, like Volga getting captured by Lambert and in his underwear, so it's probably close
