but it is the correct response in a way

No, it's not. The mod isn't what that guy demands. If you demand a mod that turns this game into a futa game, it's not the correct response to you when someone just says you should look in the OP. There's no futa mod.

Prove it!!!!!! That's such a wide and sweeping accusation against so many that I know you can't prove it. Even if you could substantiate it against one developer, that doesn't mean such a judgement then automatically applies to other developers.

I see this too. I can’t speak for all developers, but the ones I watch do this. I am interested in 3 developers, 2 of them I support: DPC, NLT, Ocean and each of them does this. For example, DPC decided to make a video at 60 fps. With this, he simply decided to stretch out the time and do nothing and receive money from his patreons for this. NLT completed its game last year, and now it is stalling for time, releasing riddles and all sorts of pictures once a month that are of little interest to anyone.
Ocean constantly needs money for new video cards, but at the same time his rendering speed does not increase, but rather decreases. For example, Ocean made Chapter 5 using 2x3090 and 2xA6000, and at the same time, his work speed was less than when he made Chapter 3.5 using only 2x3090. In addition, he releases empty chapters in which there is no more than 10% of the plot, and the remaining 90% are conversations that make no sense. DPC also has conversations that make no sense, but there are fewer of them and they are not as noticeable, because he makes chapters 3 times longer than SG.

Did something happen while I was at work?
Maybe a purge from the mods, or what is the reason for this memes?

It was calm like the Don said.

Nothing happened man, just the silence.
It´s just after yesterday discussion with so many replies today this feels empty :)

Let's just keep it this way. One of the reasons I mostly post on this thread is because it moves at a near perfect speed to discuss whatever subjects. There are threads that become deserts for weeks and threads (or thread) that moves 15 pages in the 30 seconds you take to reply to someone :ROFLMAO:

I was once a patreon of Ocean, but quit after he started the rework thing. Devs are people too, they can get lazy, can get scummy. We have lo live with it, if we like their work.

This part right there is why this dude will NEVER finish this project without a rushed end, but most importantly, why his dev cycles will never get shorter no matter how many heavy duty cards he adds to his station.

You can eat all the "rework is done guys, yay" bullshit and keep paying him, but devs like him will always have an excuse to keep the milking machine going longer, could be "bigger update cycles", 60 fps animations, High tech AAA games UI's, maybe even giving music producers a handjob in the studio for "new amazing songs this season". I've seen it too many times to be a believer... Hell, 90% of the cast are now a mutant version of themself already and the game is not even 20% done yet.

I like the story, don't get me wrong, but I'm glad I jumped ship long time ago and with this post I hope some here will start thinking with their heads instead of the blue-balled dicks.

(not even gonna weight in the fact that this guy has another game in developing with the same exact symptoms)

Red flags all day.

I am looking forward to as much Summers Gone as Ocean wants to give us.

I'm happy to support him with my $ and my time.

As I have said before - Ocean is The Most Ambitious dev I currently support.

I am looking forward to the new UI, the phone, and anything else he chooses to add that will make for a more immersive experience.

This will take time and money - just like upgrading hardware does/will - all to be able to create better imagery and animations while adding to immersion.

I have a music playlist of great songs courtesy of Ocean and I can literally enjoy SG while traveling for work by listening to that playlist.

BTW - I Am thinking with my head and enjoying SG all the way - No red flags for me (and as an adult, I don't consider supporting Ocean with my $ as milking).

You are, OC, welcome to categorize how other adults spend their money as milking all you want...

I'm just not buying into your 'Got Milk' advertising.

Here's to more Summers Gone!

Cheers!! :coffee:

I have heard some times this alternative, but Onlyfans is a site of photos and videos, i don´t know if it will be possible for the site to have many Gb of game. And i´m not sure if you can download archives there,or even if you can upload archives...
Sure, if Onlyfans make what is necessary for host this games could be an option but right now i don´t think it would be a valid option.

I think OF has potential:
