He could fix that in photoshop pretty easily I think.

I didn't even notice it until I saw the post with literal arrows pointed at it.
You know, your abilities are limited..... you should not compare yourself to people like this:

Something I find quite interesting about the issues he's mentioned. Jess' is surely wearing her blazer at the very beginning of the day upon leaving for work, and stoper had apparently noticed the issues after having created a couple dozen renders. Now think about it...He's mentioned issues with clothing in his July 25th devblog... Does that mean he's started working on the next day sometime in July, roughly 8 months after the last update?
[...]
I don't know how long and how much is Stoper working on the last scene or anything else. That said, you miss the focus: every developer has got issues with posing clothing. Stoper had that problems too, since when? Since the beginning, because it's a well known problem that I myself know about even if I never used DAZ. Some assets are more difficult than others to pose (the blazer must be one of them). You can see the problem youself just playing VNs, because most developers don't care to fix everything, or simply miss the errors. Stoper seems to be very autistic about posing errors. That's a fact. Does that mean that he works all days at JOHN? No, I can't know, you cannot, nobody can. I think he doesn't, at least not always. He's late? Yeah, everybody agrees. Do we lose money for that? No. Should his paying supporters complain? Well, I suppose they should, yeah.

You're missing the point. Stoper is clearly trying to connect the delays with faulty renders by saying he's noticed those issues after he's made a couple dozen of them, while on the other hand mentioning how the fix wasn't all that complex. He's going on and on about what supposedly went wrong, just to suddenly say he won't "bore people with details" as to how he fixed it. It's nonsense. The first render with Jess' wearing that blazer was made as early as March/April (see devblog #116, Jess' arriving at work).

"This is what happened with Jessica's blazer in this update. I had already made dozens of renders with the outfit, when I noticed a weird issue with the edge of the blazer. ....> So I had to find a workaround. I won't bore you with the details, but it wasn't something complex. I had to re-render some images, and it did add an annoying extra step in the workflow for each image where Jess is wearing the blazer. But I like how it looks, so I'll probably use it in again the future, however annoying it may be."

This is literally him setting up another excuse for future use. It is another layer of bullshit for when things take forever, and a way for him to justify it. So when you're saying he's got these problems since the very beginning, you're missing the important part. He's pretending to add another "step" out of nowhere, which is supposedly taking more time, when it was never required since the very beginning. The very beginning you mentioned, by the way. Now tell me he's not straight up lying. He's literally said in November/December last year that he's gonna cut corners on details and clothing to speed up development, and now he's doing the exact opposite. He's also said that his new rig would hopefully reduce the time required for that kind of stuff. But nope, everything is going the opposite direction.

He's never making his own set deadlines and promises. He simply is lying to his financial supporters, period.

No sir, you clearly are the one missing everything here.

You are still ignoring the fact that stoper used to release updates within 2-3 month time with the exact same eye for details while working on other projects like 'Paola' at the same time. You are quite literally contradicting yourself when you're saying he's had these issues since the very beginning, because in the beginning he would still deliver 5-6x the amount of content compared to now.

Does that mean that he works all days at JOHN? No, I can't know, you cannot, nobody can.
You can and you do know. See my previous paragraph. Stop being naive.

Stoper is clearly not working much on this game anymore, but instead of being truthful about it, he's coming up with excuse after excuse, lie after lie. And why? Isn't it obvious? To try and keep as many supporters hooked while doing the absolute bare minimum. He is the one who said this is what pays the bills. He is the one who said he's doing it fulltime.

And I am the one saying that's complete bullshit.

Cheers

From how I interpret it, the clothing problem was there since the beginning, because generally everyone has got it. This time he missed to detect the errors immediately and he had to fix them later. Then he implemented a new workflow to avoid the problem all together (at least for the blazer). Yes you're right he was faster at the beginning, but I don't know if the clothing that it's giving him errors is the same as the start or he changed it (he is one of the rare people here that use ZBrush so he could have made changes that complicated the compatibility). In addition, we also see that his quality has improved since the first release.

Do I think he's working at JOHN full time? No, as I written before. But that's just my and your supposition. He could really be wasting a lot of time looking for "errors" 95% of people would never notice.
While I am supposing that he has another paid job (I hope so for him), there is a chance he's working only at JOHN and just being very slow in developing because he has no clear vision and remakes the scenes often, or other problems. I don't even know how he works with the other partner, if she invents and writes the scenes before, or it's him to tell her what to write. It could be he's really bad at managing the workflow, as he's bad at communication. I don't think he's good at project management, he has an artist's approach that does not goes well with a monthly Patreon schedule.

No, this site are full of milkers and annoying creators with their cheap promises
Do you know what kind of site this actually is? Apparently not?
To be clear this is a pirate site. This site owns you absolutely nothing.
Why do you come here to complain? You're free to leave the site. Nobody is forcing you to visit.
If you actually a Patreon of him go complain there. IF not well complain all you want, nobody cares.

You know what this site is also full of? Whiners and lots of farmers apparently, cause some people just can't stop talking about milking stuff.
