From what I remember before 8chan got nuked. He interected there and would post the latest update. He said he did outsource the animations. There were a bunch of programmers who said that the code is a complete cluster fuck. The entire foundation of the game is fucked. He needs to fix that before he does a single addition to the game.
That seems like a rational argument at first glance, but here's the thing: While bugfixing is always welcome, it only lasts until the next thing gets added. It's hard to explain but I'll try.
On one hand, that's a good example of a worst case scenario that really did happen once.
Well, I can't program for crap. I was only going by the discussion on 8Chan. It was obvious that these were real programmers. They talked about the coding which had nothing to do with added features bring the problem.
I'm also a programmer and I agree with mecha_froggy with the developer's abilities in consideration. Though the main problem is the lack of high level programming skills like doing unit tests and regression tests. A lot of the UI problems is also just an overall lack of game design know-how. He doesn't know how to empathize with the user and think outside of his personal perspective, leading to bad presentation decisions all the time. He really could use some help as it's a pretty ambitious project.
Then why are the FPS so low and the CPU\GPU usage so high? Isn't that a result of bad coding? There are a lot of toasters out there that have a lot of trouble with this game. Isn't that an issue as well? This game has been out a long time and only has 138 pages of comments. That is not a coincidence. Look I supported him for 9 months and this was my favorite game. But read the comments here and remember Patreon's model. There are games with far less complexity and depth that are generating far more income. You can say what you want but the girls are still butt fugly and the hair and clothes are all over the place. There is a minimum level that needs to be met to be successful. And the girls look 1000% better than it did in the beginning but they still look like crap. The station looks great but pregnancy didn't work. Saves didn't work. The animated sex is terrible. The arena didn't work. The hair is either floating or at the chin level. Sjin is popping out through the clothing. That is not "polish" that is basic, and not acceptable. So yeah it needs to get fixed first period. Before MORE game breaking features are added.
Take your time. Humans aren't machines after all.
Yeah, take your time and dont put too much stress on you. Personally I'd say its better if you take some more time and potentionally miss your deadline, instead of rushing things and delivering an unpolished game (cough...fallout76..cough). Although, to be fair your game is already far better than Fallout ;D
It is up to date.
The mod is always up-to-date because it contains nothing. All of the extreme content is already inside the base game, which in turn simply checks for the existence of a mod with that name in it's directory. If it finds such a file then it unlocks the content. Otherwise it remains blocked.
