he had a whole melt down last year about something patreon did
Forcing him to switch billing method on all his Patreons or he wouldn't get any more subscribers, as a respons to Apple charging 30% more to use the Patreon app on their system. He wasn't the only one, everybody was pissed about that because it was a nightmare to deal with.

Mostly the same with me. I buy the episodes when they get released on Steam or GOG but I usually don't subscribe to his Patreon (I did a month on the lowest now because I was in some discussions and it was the easiest way to read all the update info).
One of my favorites but not the only one. Also not my only interest.
I also don't know him, but my philosophy is to not assume the worst about people so I tend to believe what they say unless they show themselves being untrustworthy.

I like this thread because there are, like you said, a lot of fun and nice people here. But when the complaining, mocking and hating starts, I just get very tired and annoyed. It's not why I'm here. I want to talk about the fun and cool things about the game, not how everything sucks. So I try to reason, I try to explain how I interpret it to be using logic, hoping they will understand. But as usual, I expect too much.
here we are again, f95 more reactions pls, MOAR! :HideThePain:

Wasn't there a 3-week test phase last year before the first Patreon releases?
If I remember correctly, then we're already at the end of January, not counting the development phases still to be done.
I'm opting for a release here in early/mid-March.

Was it? or did he just make it one
Sure, because changing the billing plan for your business and not getting any new Patreon subscribers before you do sounds like so much fun to do in the middle of developing a game. I'm sure he chose to be without getting new subscribers from the Patreon app until the game was finished because it was fun. :rolleyes:

Guys give DPC a break, UHD 120fps Unreal Engine 5 cinematic of mine and Nicole's wedding is not easy job to pull off, but I'm sure it will look nice!

On a more serious note, it's always quite entertaining reading delusional comments after devlog drops. People get so mad they start sputing literal lunacy. Some say this game is barely average and overhyped, some say it is abandoned (???), some say it will come out in December 2025, some say DPC did nothing at all... I'm a bit sad about no new previews, but that's about it. I just hope I don't have any unfortunate events irl preventing me from enjoying the update when it comes out.

Stay safe everyone!

P.S. Who here will try lewd stuff with Arieth if it becomes possible in Episode 11? Be honest.

Darkwen, let's be objective, your dislike of extreme wealth is understandable given your environment and what greedy rotten corporations are doing to your country, but he's just an indie porn game developer who made a couple million on his project. By US standards, he's not even rich, barely enough to buy a house in NY :ROFLMAO:
His main problem is not money but absurd ambitions to do bigger, more noticeable, to write his name in the history of AVNs, that is, I would say DPCs ego is his worst enemy.

Admit it your favorite part of Friday is reading comments after a status update. :love:

So, the list of remaining tasks isn't very big right now.

  • Playtest the episode and fix any new issues
  • Add 1-2 more clucks
  • Analyze and add more art for the phone gallery
  • Analyze and add any more needed chats.
This work will be completed within the next week. In fact, he has already completed the polishing, and the alpha testing phase remains, which may take the whole of January.

There is still a lot of playtesting left on my end, and there are still animations left to render.
He didn't say how many animations he rendered and I suspect very few.
Let's say it's 5. And now there are exactly 50 animations in the queue. Then it will take 10 weeks to finish rendering the animations at the current speed, and this end of rendering is not until early March. Add three weeks of beta testing and ep11 comes out on April 4.
I actually have no idea what he will do for 2, 5 months while the animations are rendered and how he will explain. He'll have to ban a thousand more people.
We're at the point now where releasing a game in February is considered a very optimistic scenario.

I don't think DPC is an asshole because of his money I think he's an asshole because he does asshole things. Is apple asking for to much maybe but DPC still taking home 70% there a lot of people that would kill for that
And how much is Apple making? He worked for his money, can you say the same about the rich corporate bosses with their multi-million bonuses? You say he should be grateful that they only take 30%. Why do you consider him worse than the rich fat-asses who sit in their offices and never worked a real job in their life?

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one here who doesn't absolutely hate DPC's guts and thinks the game is worth the wait.
I remember a couple of years ago, everybody praised him and I got so much crap for criticizing something about the game, now you get crap for liking it and not hating him.:rolleyes:
I don't think he's hated. Hate is a very strong emotion, after all.
For me personally, he just annoys me sometimes with his arrogance.
As for the game, I guess if he keeps the same development pace of 1, 5- 2 years many people will eventually get tired of waiting and quit the game. And the game will suffer the fate of Summertime Saga.
