Imagine Chris Roberts would turn Star Citizen into a porn game. The sky would be the limit!

I concur with some of the points you've made. I, too, have recollected from my experiences of playing through claire's quest of there being some form of "fragmentation" and/or "disjointedness" as to how the quest lines are being developed. I think the dev needs to hone in on completing important quest lines as they are in their entirety, rather than start one quest line, move to another randomly unrelated quest line, and then develop each quest on a portion-by-portion basis.
It just creates unnecessary scope creep in the long term imo, because now we have a bunch of unresolved quest lines that returning players probably would not even remember owing to how long of a time gap it has been between updates and whatnot.
Plus, some quest lines actually have intriguing outcomes, so releasing only small bite-sized portions of the content without providing some form of closure in a timely manner, is just kind of disorienting for players (especially for returning players i.e.).

I would wager that these "testers" are probably staffed on a "pro-bono" basis, so there probably may not be any real "drop dead date" being stringently enforced for when they have to report on some of these bugs during the quality control or QA phase of the project.
True. One year of waiting for the update to be a "technical update"
All the while banking 50000$ a month haha
I was very optimistic about Claire's Quest. When they were churning out updates, one after another, I even paid them. I understood that they had trouble with artists, they redesigned certain characters and remade several scenes.
Alright.
But... you're telling me that in over 6 months there have been zero updates? How about we also talk of the wasted art that goes into pointless art for Lunar year, halloween, valentines, whatever.
Pointless, serves zero purpose, wastes money and time.
Their ambition is to have another continent full of content while polishing up current ones. Cool. How are they going to do that when they even fail the usual 3-4 month update cycle?
By the way, about the scattered content; It's actually done intentionally due to interests of the patrons or straight up as commission. Good chunk of the ranch and ranger content was commissioned.
Sadly you are right. I can't pretend that this is not the case. The game won't be finished so i only hope that we will get some spicy amount before it is shut down for one reason or another.True. One year of waiting for the update to be a "technical update"

A damn shame too. Claire as a character deserved so much better and a actual ending to her story.

Who'd have thought that giving someone a massive monthly paycheck without any legal obligation attached to it would have negative long term consequences? It's shocking. Truly.
The project will get for sure updated. It isn't the end but it's very dubious how months go without updating the main game or making progress.
I doubt it will get updated unless people start speaking with their wallets and stop subbing until the work schedule improves.
Alternatively it goes the opposite way where they just continue growing because people have automatic payments enabled or whatever and can't be bothered to turn it off.
I hate to be bitter like this as I've in the past vehemently defended this project. At some point though you start looking for actual progress.
At very least I do have some devs that I actually trust with my money.
honestly there is only 1 dev i would give any money and this one is not itill never give money to people who give crappy updates that cant stick to some digree of a scgial
Because it is far from complete. The main story hasn't progressed at all. Half the questlines are pending. Some even have 1 quest in and nothing else.
Game does however have decent amount of content though.

Because the second the do that they lose out on 50k a month for doing somewhere between nothing and the absolute minimum. Would you give up that amount of money?

There's a gallery for this game right? If so, does anyone have the latest save for all scenes?

Because I wrote it while trying to do ten other things at the same time and consequently screwed it up. Thanks for the correction. I'll let the oringal mistake stand unedited for posterity.
Is there no update yet? On Discord they are uploading a lot of the following content but it seems that they are going to wait to complete the game and directly update everything

Found a fix for this, go to cheats, then pick Refresh and/or Teleport, and then pick refresh.
That reloads the game screen and it won't be into a black screen anymore.

Is there an explanation as to why these quests are unavailable after having done the third Thief quest? I don't see why I shouldn't be able to rescue them after Fat Jack is captured.
Sad to see this game being in this state, been my favorite narration for the sexe scenes, and i liked the quest plot with no combat, was pretty cool to discover all the content.
