I was doing some math.
It should be noted that I've only played on updates that exist to help me fap. I don't mind what I'm going to say, I just want to put this out there and see how wrong I am.
He added 6 girls this update.
Ravenger, Circe, Jynx, Thalia, Victoria, and Penguin's Henchmen.
With the Penguin, he probably added another plot point, and what's likely the next event: The Presidential run.
By my estimates, that's 14 months with the planned pace. That's over a year of future content introduced in just this update.
So... we also have to finish the heroes, civilians, henchwomen, and villains already introduced. That's what, 25 characters? I'm not counting people like Joker or Grodd in any of that. Just female chicks you're supposed to bang ultimately. So that's 50 months so far. We are currently at four years and four months out what's just been discussed.
Speaking of Grodd, he seems to have content still out there. You can't tie him to any fuckable character. He may be another month, or he may just be incorporated into some sort of larger ending event with Brainiac. Either way, two months added. (CADMUS and Waller could add another two months.)
We're not even mentioning how Black Manta or Deathstroke (Both introduced this update) will play out in the future. Does Sportsmaster still have a role? What's Ra's doing? Is Savage's storyline done? Finally, how does the drama between Joker and Harley end? How does Metallo fit into any of this? Granted, all of those characters could be tied into other characters, but it's still a fair question.
So at most, I think we're looking at about 68 months at this rate. That's just over 5.5 years. That's half a decade. If you have a five year old son, he will be ~10.5 when this game finishes at this rate. If you are/have a freshman in high school, you/he/she will be a sophomore in college when this game finishes.
This is assuming a few things, predominately that 1 girl = 1 update = 2 months and 1 event = 1 update = 2 months.
I've read the posts, but it may be better in the long term if you start training people how to code like Sunset now. It may cause a few delays initially, but a two man team could theoretically get the same amount of work done in in about 2.33 years. Because truly at this rate, assuming the game finishes everything and leaves as few stones unturned as possible, this will take a half decade otherwise. Even if the new girls and events are abandoned, (New = 2.1.8., it will take about four years to finish the cell and meta bordello content for the girls who already exist.)
Maybe I'm wrong, but when I read the 2.1.9 update promise, it was very clear to me. Due to the language and learning how this game is developed. 2.1.9 was going to be Terra's update. She was going to be 100% done after this update. Great. (These are just examples.) That would then mean that 2.2.0 would be Hawkgirl's update. 2.2.1 would be Supergirl's update. And so on.
I don't know if an one man development team for a game like this can make 2.2.0 both Hawkgirl and Supergirl. Then make 2.2.1 Batgirl and Stargirl. (Some of my bias is out there, fine.)
I'm not complaining, I love the game, even if I haven't experienced 100% of pre-existing content yet, but it's a little strange to put it in terms of it potentially taking 4 years just to finish what we have now.
Thoughts?
