If you've seen this:



You've failed. And its based on you checking it often enough to make sure there are no errors. As long as you do that, it'll succeed.
Hm. The problem is that I have seen Audrey deformed (don't remember at what stage or if i've seen this specific image) and she turned completely normal in the end, if you discard the fact that I wanted the original but have the clone :'(
In fact, I think both Galatea and Terra were deformed at some point but ended up just fine. All I did was keep checking

How did Terra just die i don't understand that and why when she was giving blowjob there was no scenes of her doing it?
Is this a bug there is only talking before she does it and then it cuts to the rooms where the other girls are

OK i understand now i was like WHAT she is dead
But what is with the scenes

Bug with the last build.

I'm sure it was caught in testing but... well I'm not sure why a new build wasn't put together. Delaying a day to address a bug with new content seem reasonable. And this has happened before with Artemis.

Rather fond of SU but not sure I agree with just 'moving on' when this happens.

That's good news, speaking for myself, animations are severely overrated and the amount of work put in them is not worth the extra 2 seconds I'll spending looking at it. In fact, if it means more regular content I'm all for it and will probably up my subscription if the next update can win me over.

Otherwise, my biggest concern with the game development are the bug, I understand that a game this big with only one man doing everything is bound to have them, but the amount and gravity have been increasing in the last updates, to the point where I believe taking more time to beta test the game would be more beneficial than what little content could be done in that time.
The next update is relatively big. To put it in perspective, the public build update which jumped from 2.1.3 to 2.1.6 contained 17 backgrounds. This next update from 2.1.777 to 2.1.8 already has 18. Sunset has worked here and there on the yacht event for about year from what I'm told, before dedicating the last two months to it.

We'll be trying to beta test and bug fix as much as possible, but it's a lot to go through with such a short dev cycle and our primary goal is making sure nothing is game breaking. There's only been 2 game breaking bugs in SU's entire life cycle.

As for post 2.1.8, we're experimenting and looking to set up a solid update system for what we're calling "completion updates" come 2.1.9+. Terra will be the test case that'll give us insight into the challenges we'll need to look out for and how much work it'll take to bring a girl's arc and content to completion in one update cycle. Bug testing and fixing will be heavily scrutinized and considered during this time too.

Hm. The problem is that I have seen Audrey deformed (don't remember at what stage or if i've seen this specific image) and she turned completely normal in the end, if you discard the fact that I wanted the original but have the clone :'(

They do deform a bit even during successful checks - to make you worry and question and stuff - but it's a failure when it's a large malformed adult like that.

Well what you don't know is that during the last two weeks or so of an update cycle, Sunset goes through crunch mode - spending 16-18 hour+ days on SU, trying to get as much content in as possible and then bug fixing during the last week. After an update is released, he tries to take a break for a week or so to recuperate before going back at it again. I say "try" because he still does work on any major bugs that people bring to our attention - and of course he's at the ready in case anything game breaking happens to show up.

Then it becomes a question of, does he spend time on bug fixes and get behind on the next update, or does he compile a list of current bugs to work on during the next update's bug hunt week? In this case, given how big the last update was and how this next one is even bigger, he opted for the latter.

We're hoping we can get rid of this issue once we start "completion updates" and give him a bit more breathing room. But we won't know the reality of the situation until he starts working on 2.1.9 after this update.

2.1.7 was said to be Terra being finished and that being the motif going forward, now it's 2.1.9 having to wait for whatever comes of the Yacht event. Seeing what we got in 2.1.7 in regards to content towards Terra being finished I'll choose to believe it when I see it. For clarification, not even the flip book style like Ivy or Roulette's prison scene will be used?

If that is the case going forward with just 100% stills, shouldn't Raven and Ivy just need to be implemented seeing how the artwork was supposedly done in May?

I'd be interested in you pointing out where anyone from our team said 2.1.7 was focused on Terra being finished. And we'd mentioned the yacht even was the 2.1.8 focus quite a while back.

No, not even flip book style for now. We need to see just how much work it'll take to finish a girl per update with just stills first.

Where are you getting the idea that Raven and Ivy were done in May? Why would we just sit around on their content if that were the case? If we were ahead on anything, we wouldn't have to make changes to our development cycle to begin with.

It sounds like you - and many other people - are suffering from a case of Telephone. It's a game where you sit people in a line and pass a whisper down from one end to the next. By the time it's gotten to the other end, the information has changed. You should be sure to get your information straight from someone on the dev team, and also listen closely to details. For example, Sunset may have said during a stream that he had some extra sketches done, but that's a far cry from having all of their content complete and he could've been talking about yacht images or some other event.

A few questions:
1. After Terra, will heroines be prioritized based on how complete they already are, or does Sunset want to do the characters with the most development needed first? (smaller workload first or bigger to gauge how long it would take?)
2. Will characters like Black Canary or Zatanna be given cell content eventually?
3. Same question for villains: Is there any more content planned for Livewire, Cheetah, Star Sapphire, Giganta?
4. Will you prioritize heroines over henchwomen, or alternate between the two categories?
5. Does Sunset need a vacation? haha

1. We'll weigh poll and conversation data vs difficulty and challenge. Try to find the heroines people want most that are feasible.

2. Yes.

3. There is more content planned, but it does follow a different progression path and we're going to look into integrating them into the schedule after we see how a typical case works out.

4. Henchwoman are their own system. For the moment, we're going to prioritize heroines and refine the process based on them before looking towards henchwomen. At least for 2.1.9. We know Harley is up there on most people's lists XD

5. He'd tell you he's fine, but I'd argue yes, very much so!

Hey Mr. Developer, I know that I'm not entitled to ask for anything (since I'm not paying), but could you please please PLEASE disable the "pause on focus loss"?

OK, finally posting. How do I get the Mercy Blowjob scene? I've had her as henchwoman, asked her to totally strip several times (No dice) Went to each area of the base (After Lex Corp takeover), I have no clue what the steps are,

Asking is perfectly fine - especially if it's nicely ^^ - demanding is where the problem lies.

Although could you elaborate on what you mean by "pause on focus loss"? The game is very turn based so we're not sure what could even be pausing for you.

So you have to get up to handjobs with her, you have to complete and visit the Meta Bordello, then you have to go back to LexCorp, see the scene where Lex talks about taking back the company, then roughly 10 days later (after making sure to visit LexCorp every day to get the 2nd scene), the takeover should be complete.

Once that's done, visit Mercy's room, on your first, or 2nd visit, she should be missing, and Lex will track her down and get head.,

Working that shift, and reusing bodies (we are not dumb, we have seen assets and we can clearly see which bodies are just reused with a different skin tone and a different head) and that's all he can pull off per update in 2 months?

Sounds like a whole new meaning to the word "inefficiency"

So is Smokeshank not a reputable source? Is he not apart of the team? I'm linking directly to posts from either the patreon statements or Smokeshank posting himself. Nothing is being lost in translation.

From Smokeshank: "Literally the reason this build is a little small is he was doing animations for original characters. I will do you all a favor and share the content which was created during this two months cycle, but will NOT ALL BE IMPLEMENTED as some animations are not finished -----> (art work is done). <------"

Above is the list he so chose to give us. If you pay attention to the list, it shows quite a bit of stuff listed for Raven and Ivy. Feel free to click the links. And again he is saying the artwork is done. Not much ground for twisting words to be something they're not. That post was in May, which if people use their brains they would assume the art was done for those scenes in May. This wasn't him saying what they were planning to do. He's boldly saying that's what work got done art wise.

From Smokeshank via patreon post concerning the 2.1.7 Roadmap: "We had a meeting early last week where we discussed future direction and focus. The idea now is to focus and finish up all the cell content in the coming updates. SR7 will focus on a girl/s and bring them up to a completed state every dev cycle (this cycle being Terra)."


Not "Oh wait for a long planned event first, then we'll work on it." Not "In a couple months" This. Cycle.

Well, literally everything, if you change the focus to any other program, browser, or just click on your desktop the game pauses. Ex. click to enter the office, and click on your desktop (or any other program), the loading / place switch / animation will freeze, and will not continue unless you set the focus back to the game.

I mean, we have plenty of stream videos to prove it's all hand-drawn and that you don't know what you're talking about.

But we'd be happy to see you do better. When's your next game update? ^^

Okay, fair point. He did write "Finish Terra cell content". Honestly, I know he didn't mean all of her cell content and meant what cell content was planned - but I'm sure you won't believe that.

It's like this. We've laid out the plan. We've told you how. We've told you why. We've explicitly told you what you can expect in no incomplete or uncertain terms this time. I don't know what more you want.

We'll admit past communication wasn't great. It was brief and lacked full transparency. If you want to dwell on that and act like the quite obvious changes we've made in communication in the last 5 days don't show we're changing - that's your prerogative.

Regardless of what you choose to do, we're going to move forward with trying to do and be better. You're welcome to join us for the ride and rigidly hold us to our word from here on out if you'd like. I personally welcome the challenge and oversight, but you're going to have to agree that this is a new start. New development direction, new communication. We even got a new logo!

In that spirit, you did support yourself with evidence. On behalf of us all, I apologize for past promises that were missed. All we can say is sorry, that we've recognized problems in our development and communication patterns, and are working diligently to fix both.
