Anybody else getting a hard crash trying to do anything with Mercy? As soon as any of the animated scenes for the HJ and beyond brick the game and spit out a crash report.

Bugfix Tomorrow
We know the radio silence isn’t fun, but it’s something that happens from time to time. We greatly appreciate all our fans who wait patiently during times like this, and we hope that our eventual payoff always makes the wait worthwhile.
The Vixen bug fix is slated for release tomorrow and it’s looking like it’s basically going to be a secondary update of sorts given the amount of content being added.
“But… MAH SUPERGIRL UPDATE!”
A lot of people have voiced their concerns over how this whole bugfix “delay” will affect the upcoming release schedule. However, a lot of these concerns assume a few things that just aren’t true, like:
  • All this time has been spent on bug fixing.
We’ll be honest, it hasn’t. SR7 usually takes a break after going through the update crunch period, and sometimes that break is taken before work begins on any bugfix version. Yes, we want to get bugfixes out as soon as possible, especially when things wind up hella borked, but it does nobody any good if SR7 kills himself in the process.
You still had some new content. SR7 knew he had a lot of shit to go through and just came off a torrid update cycle that included a pretty nasty process issue surprise. So the man went ahead and took his post-update break. If that infuriates you or if you think that’s “lazy” behavior, you’re entitled to your opinion, but we’re going to always focus more on the long game over the short term - which means prioritizing the mental and physical health of those who work for GG.
In addition to him taking this break, SR7’s first day back was also not bugfix related. We have some other things we’re cooking up – that we hope to share later this month – and his services were required in another direction for a brief moment. We’re an indie studio with very limited resources and decided pushing the bugfix a day and giving SR7 something else to come back to that wasn’t the slog he’d just taken a break from wouldn’t be a big deal.
  • The Supergirl update requires just as much content as every other update.
First of all, as anyone who’s paid attention to the past streams should know, SR7 already got ahead on the Supergirl update a bit before shit hit the fan with the Vixen update. The Supergirl update is also going to enjoy some silver-lining-esque benefits from the Vixen issues too, which will primarily help the update not run into the time management issues so many of you are concerned about.

This doesn’t mean issues aren’t still possible – we can’t predict the future – but, as everything stands at time of writing, we’re confident the Supergirl update is still on track meet its deadline window with a lot less issues than the Vixen update experienced.
The plans for the rest of this year are a continuation of the last 8 months.
… we’ll discuss this more in September. ; )
Shout Out to Our Fans and the GG Community!
Overall, a lot of the community has been much more understanding and patient this time around than in the past and we want to give that some recognition. We know borked updates aren’t fun for anyone and that the amount of time it’s taking for us to fix our core pipeline with the Rebuild can be confusing and frustrating.
We didn’t want to pause development and not provide you all with the regular content updates you’re used to, but there are core dev issues that have gotten progressively worse and that have made this year particularly hellish for us and you. We appreciate the understanding, patience and continued support many of you have shown. It has not gone unnoticed or been taken for granted.
Thank you,
Gunsmoke Games

I truly believed that we wouldn't get a bug fix but hey, better late than never. I decided not to complain because being a jerk helps nothing the development. Also, I'm getting this game for free, like almost everyone else here...

God, he's so full of shit. "We had a torrid development cycle this time!" Yeah, so you should have actually kept people updated and told them to expect less and that it would be made up for in the next update instead of just saying nothing and provide an update with the primary character missing half its content and the two back up characters, who shouldn't have been prioritized over the primary, releasing with half of the content not working. I don't care if he's lazy, I expect that out of patreon developers, what I care about is proper lines of communication. You'd be surprised how much people can forgive if they don't feel like they're being lied to.

Funnily enough, Vixen didnt have "half" her content, there was basically 0, it was an outfit that didnt work properly and that's it?

Also, Rose wasnt working AT ALL

So, the update was basically just the few Jinx scenes

This doesn’t mean issues aren’t still possible – we can’t predict the future
But you actually can when the issues are 100% intentional, and only your diehard fans eat up your excuses

$13,777 a month.
Yes, we want to get bugfixes out as soon as possible, especially when things wind up hella borked, but it does nobody any good if SR7 kills himself in the process.
He's so overworked he might kill himself? Sounds like the billing and dev cycles should be paused until that's resolved. Or at least extending the development cycle again. Wasn't that one of the justifications for the last extension? If the artist dies won't that affect the l-
we’re going to always focus more on the long game over the short term
exactly.
there are core dev issues that have gotten progressively worse and that have made this year particularly hellish for us and you.
That sounds like a long term problem. Enough to justify pausing $13,777 a month to stop and resolve it, for the sake of the team's ment-
which means prioritizing the mental and physical health of those who work for GG.
exactly.
We didn’t want to pause development
Lol, they should have posted just this single sentence so it could hang out near the top of the screen with the $13,777 still in the frame.
SR7 knew he had a lot of shit to go through and just came off a torrid update cycle that included a pretty nasty process issue surprise. So the man went ahead and took his post-update break. If that infuriates you

That's out of line! I can't be furious while I'm laughing this hard :ROFLMAO:

So we will ignore bugs from previous update and focus on this one, and when we get around to fixing them it will likely break this as well. So we are spinning our wheels to try and justify the amount of money that people toss at us.

You think that's bad? Summertime Saga brings in $52, 293 a month. That's $627, 516 a year before Patreon's cut and taxes. It puts on at best two worthwhile updates a year. Patreon is a scam, but it's a scam that most people are comfortable with since they usually don't put too much into it every month.

There are way worse offenders on Patreon than SR7 for this stuff. Especially in 'adult games'. But I have always despised how they get indignant that people don't like radio silence. They either don't work nearly as hard as they claim, or have a completely borked codebase and neither is acceptable now. New patrons don't even know all the promises they've made in the past like 'new posing system will fix dev issues'. Now it's 'the rebuild will fix all these dev issues'.

SR7 also constantly complains about how much bigger than planned SU is - but they literally did that to themselves. I love the cells - but events? Teleporter? Scenes with hireable villainesses? Meanwhile lots of old content languishes exactly where it was like 3 years ago. And they talk about focus on completion updates - then ship a whole bunch of scenes with new characters.

But man oh man does the indignant and patronizing tone of that latest post infuriate.

Guess what, some of us are actually waiting for Gunsmoke Games to make themselves deserving of our money. But that will never happen if they continue this lazy-ass work ethic and their denial/hostile attitude towards just criticism(Locke especially). I will continue to pirate the game until change happens.

LMAO, please. You're going to continue pirating no matter what. Don't try to take some bullshit high horse. Their Yacht event was top-notch and you still didn't pledge then either. When they were doing great you just kept pirating quietly instead of bitching, like the rest of these complainers.
