Yes, ofc, bc it's not like the dev that put off doing an afternoons work for a week wouldn't have decide to stretch that to 2-3 weeks (Hey, there were more holidays coming after all!!!), realize he spent too much money during the holidays and then failed to send the proper amount of renders or, due to now having to rush, sent him a handful of renders that weren't even close to being up to par. No, we have to blame one of the two, and not the one who unintentionally admitted to being the one actively screwing over development at the time.
If the mods are going to delete any criticism or back and forth in regards to Alorth's role in this games struggles, they should at least be consistent in doing it for both parties. It's ridiculous that this games update got delayed for 5 months, when it was originally projected to only take 5 months to begin with, and then failed to deliver after the whole 10 months. Both devs actions are massive issues and we wouldn't be where we are today if not for BOTH devs failures.
If this update is at all functional, I wish they'd just release it and get the kinks worked out in the next week or two. Even if that means some of the renders aren't up to par or are outright missing. Sadly, BOTH devs are staying mum. SirD is neither more, nor less active on X than he has been since the night of the VGA's. There has been talk that Alorth tends to be more vocal once his work on it has wrapped, and that hasn't happened, which could mean that there were issues with the renders. Or it could mean he's finally focused bc he's so far behind on both of "his" games and potentially even his contract work. And it's ridiculous to continue to blame one party when we know both are responsible for this.

It certainly won't. This update has already taken twice as long as intended and that was for reworks. There was never even a mention of incorporating additional content to compensate for the delays, and I wouldn't expect it under the circumstances. If it were a coding error, they certainly could have the additional story/renders and even most of the code in place, but it was the story. That very well could've impacted the story moving forward, too. Which, hopefully, SirD worked out while he was spending so much time waiting for Alorth to get the renders sent over. If not...

Hello again everyone. I'm dropping in with this month's wallpapers and a quick/brief update about our progress. The good news first: finally done redoing what needed to be done. The bad news last: it's going to take me just a few more days to actually get it into your hands.
I promise I'm not just sitting on my thumbs over here, I've been working extremely hard on this basically day and night without that much in the way of breaks since my last announcement, and will continue to do so over these next few days until it's literally on your hard drives.
Before I wrap this up, I want to reiterate that, typically when these delays happen, you guys do get something out of the ordeal. The last big scene of the chapter, for example, basically ended up doubling in size and I was able to get it to a place that I'm really happy with: with more choices, much more compelling dialogue, and some lewd content you all will definitely love. The way it was prior to me rewriting was abysmal by comparison.
Anyways, in the meantime... I'll be on Discord chatting here-and-there in case anyone needs me. Thanks for your patience, I'll see you guys in a few days, and I love you all.

So, if SirD says few more days, it means few more months. See you all in the summer guys

Not saying Alorth is blameless, some choices like that artist he hired from North Korea are hard to believe at best...
But maybe, just maybe, it was like dammed said himself, he decided to remake several scenes new and extended some...which requiered new renders. And yeah, sorry some people like to spend their holidays without work, their family or friends. Even more so if said work comes just one or 2 days before holidays, after Dammed did god knows what for for the better part of the year...
Also what difference do make a couple of days off, for holidays, at this point ?
Not like the game is already late for half a year...or Dammed was already finished with his part and just waited for a couple of renders from Alorth...not even Dammed claims that.

Day of Release: Wow! Finally it's here! Can't wait to play!
Next Day: Either Great update! Love those hot babes! OR WTF my favorite didn't get banged in exactly the way I envisioned it!
One week later: When will the next update be? I can't wait!
One month later: This is taking too long. The f****ng dev is a milking motherf**cker
Each and every day after that: Post upon post of how the dev is incompetent, milks like a dairy farmer, goofs off, probably in jail maybe he's dead, but he's making me wait so he's a dick anyway. Call him and anyone he works with anything but human, yada yada...
Day of Release: Wow! Finally it's here! Can't wait to play!
Lather, Rinse, Repeat. And it doesn't matter if it's this thread or any other. Predictable as the time of day.
and he is playing the dead card .... nothing new on this trash developer ... then he will pop out when he saw his money suporters rioting or leaving and say oh oh oh what happenes? oh sorry i got this or i got that as excuse...
make him go down to 1k bucks at month, will made him feel like he is on NK and only then he will really work some on the game...
edit ... days aka another month more lier says
Thanks for posting that update, and I don't mean to toot my own cock, but I literally said that this would happen lmfao.
same as the other few thousand followers of this thread, believe me "you did not in any way predict anything"

Sure, take the day before and after the holidays off. That's far from abnormal. The 4 days before? That's 2 days to do 1 day of work, which leaves plenty of time to get anything done before the family arrives. Why did the first we hear about SirD having the rest of the renders not come until mid January? Kinda looks like someone thinks its acceptable to take winter break as a professional. It's not. SirD did comment on Jan 4th, I believe, in Discord. Lets give Alorth the benefit of the doubt and assume that was the day SirD received the bulk of the renders, but not all. That's two weeks, wasted, for a days work. Even if you assume SirD would've taken 6 days off for the 2 holidays, that's still 8 wasted days. And both parties are acting like this is normal for their development. So how many times per update do such unnecessary delays occur?
If Alorth were treating this like just more contract work and not a project he's partnered on, that would explain a whole hell of a lot. It wouldn't explain why his other work is also so far behind, but it would make sense then if he told SirD he'd have to wait months just for him to begin on the reworked renders. It would also explain why he'd take a week or more to do a days worth of renders, if he had other contract work set up during that window. This is actually very common behavior for contractors, often even if you're paying them a premium to have full-time, on-site staff. And if this were contract work, it would place the blame squarely on SirD for failing to properly schedule this. If not, and Alorth is treating this as a partnered project, he'd have to sign off and agree that it was necessary to do the rework. Which means he's just as culpable.
There's only one scenario where Alorth doesn't share full responsibility for these delays.
This is by far the worst thread I've seen. Some games are currently projected to take damn near twice as long before their next update and you don't see this bs. Sure, every few days you'll see someone asking about word on the next update, but that's about it. Those people often get ridiculed for even asking. Truthfully, it's kinda disgusting how some devs are given a complete pass for things that lead to even longer delays than we've seen here. And I've certainly never seen a game where there was a team or duo working on a game where one specific dev was singled out so completely, against all logic.

Oh I wasn't trying to imply that people weren't justified to complain about it not being worth the wait time. I guess we will have to wait and see the amount of content that is in the update. But yea when you take almost a full year to release an update people are expecting a really big one and it probably won't be that much bigger than their previous updates.
