But why are you taking the time to gripe about something you aren't paying for and can't control?
Because they like complaining.

Do you just not pay attention to how much content is in an update or what?
There's a reason why the joke is that no one here actually understands English.

I'm going to just leave this here, in a spoiler tag, so as not to jam up the boards, and without further commentary

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Useless metric. There's no indication for how large each scene is, and some of the recent ones have been enormous. Do word and render counts if you want to your data to mean anything.

This game started as a largely meaningless fuckfest and has spiraled into an actual story with worldbuilding, plot, history, etc because it gained and has maintained enough support to allow for it. That takes time to do - more time than making animations - even if the "renders per day" metric has gone down. If that's not what you're into, there are around 20,000 more games on this site alone to spend your time criticizing.

You want me to do a render count on a game that's 100% pre-rendered? Sure, lemme just go steal all Runey's files lol
How about you show me some evidence that scenes have functionally doubled in complexity since v15?

Not to mention the work that goes into all the new sets and the new mechanics, like Kali's office, the shop, and the garden, and even occasionally new characters, like Cornwall's staff last time.

Gotta say that I kind of miss this. Not the "meaningless" part, really, but there was a sense of "fun" in earlier parts of the game that isn't so prominent as it goes on.
It does get darker, with a lot of ups and downs, though at the moment, I can see where having too many light/fun moments might feel out of place. Luckily, that is the upside of the sandbox nature of the game, the side content make up for that sometimes, even when it feels a bit disconnected. For example, I am looking forward to more of Eris.

Can we please stop the whining and bitching about how long it takes for updates to be released?
It's gone on for multiple pages now, and has become very pointless.

The people complaining, please just stop already, and the people defending Runey, please return to head patting your favorite girl in the game.

If you can not ignore comments, then please, just ignore the person making them, and you will never see their comments again.

As for myself, I will continue to pat the girls, but I am no longer just patting them on the head, because I have learned that if you pat their bottoms often enough, it will keep them from getting a flat head.

Uh, I know for a fact that you know the garden was outsourced. Also, no, there simply aren't SO many new environments in v17 and v18 (and probably not 19 either) that it explains the slowdown. Also, there were just as many background characters in v14-v16, how is that a notable feature?

DigDug69 Works for me, dude. I'll take over answering the update questions, and y'all can ignore me AND them. Win/win!

Agreed.

I think this is part of why I just didn't enjoy the last update that much--I was thrown into one character event, then another, then another, with really no choice in the matter. All of them pretty--well, if not exactly dark, certainly serious. And because they're unfinished, they end with the affected characters apparently unaffected, which is kind of jarring. It's the nature of a sandbox game that's a work in progress, I get that, but it affects the experience.

And the story's a good one. It's being done well. I'm not, really, complaining about it. But I kind of miss the happy-go-lucky times of earlier in the game.

Yeah, I will agree with that, the auto triggering events have really gotten out of hand. It is my biggest complaint about the game, in all honesty. It is especially bad if you load an older save. You load up, trying to check something, but by the time you get through all the auto triggering events, you have forgotten what you were there to do in the first place... lol
Frustrates me to no end. XD
