Thanks for reining me in
xMendoza! I'll approach this another way...
I'm far from a 'White Knight' when it comes to this game. I'm just tired of people posting the same complaints year after year. SR7 and Smokeshank haven't changed, they've been doing things their way for years, at their own pace. And they aren't going to change, this is how they do things, pure and simple. Accept it and move on.
And as I said, if you don't like this game, then don't play it. Or maybe skip a few updates between downloads at least instead of downloading every single update.
As for my supposedly 'White Knighting' this game, check my post history.
I'm strongly on record as saying the girl management system, as it stands, simply sucks. It works, but has waaaaaaay to much clicking going on to be able to do anything.
- It's fucking annoying to have to leave the bordello, go back to Lexcorp, enter the labs, enter the devices submenu, just to upgrade her device. SOOOO MUCH UNNECESSARY CLICKING.
- Oh, and NOT having the GS and MB managed on the same screen, so you have to go back and forth between them just to unschedule and re-schedule girls? MORE UNNECESSARY CLICKING!
Don't get me started on only three saves, that are residing in the System Registry.,.
Would I approach this differently? I'll let THIS speak for itself (btw, 0.25 update for this demo coming within the next day or so assuming no showstoppers...)

That's not me just blowing smoke and complaining. That's myself and
xMendoza, with help from a few other kickass guys, actually trying to do something about it!
- Tired of lack of new girls content? Well we have a whole SU F95Zone fanart community to help with that!
BTW, if you've been living under a rock the last 9 or so months:
https://f95zone.to/threads/something-unlimited-sprite-re-mix-and-fanart-thread.118041/
- Want a SU game that has more streamlined gameplay? Well, as already mentioned, we are taking a crack at that.
- Want more content for existing girls? Again, we have a whole SU fanart community on tap for that!
Now, whether GS Games ever decides to try something else (besides using Unity with that pretty much abandoned now Fungus plugin) is up to them, and we'd welcome the effort. But in the meantime, we aren't going to just sit on the sidelines crying in our milk every time a new update comes out that has even more issues...
Of course our community stab at this thing is a 'for free' effort, no Patreons or whatever are going to be set up to support this, and has no support whatsoever from GS Games. It's a 'sheer willpower because we want something new' effort. Sure progress will continue to be slow, as it's a community effort and people have lives, etc. to attend to when not working on some volunteer game project.
So put me in the 'doing something' camp.
Oh, and as mentioned a few posts above, I also curate this:

That's the quick reference sheet that I put together for THIS GAME. It's two updates behind at this point, but I'll get around to updating it to 2.4 fairly soon...
Sh while I may not be a 'paid/paying' contributor, this being a buccaneer forum and all, I DO give back in other ways, as do a number of like-minded individuals...
Carry on!
