By "hire anyone else to speed things up" I meant another artist, which he hasn't done. For most updates the art is what takes a long time, not posing or writing. The team also needs another coder, there were 2 at one point (RIP dogeek), now there is only one and the majority of the work for this update is coding. I even tried years ago to help DC by finding artists able to work at his level but he said "idk I'll see". Which I'm guessing is a mix of not caring, not trusting me on art (makes sense) and him wanting to have his art the way he likes it.

Also I wasn't aware there were extra people since It doesn't say it on the list of devs. I thought junior devs were brought in to replace the people that left previously. Though it is a good thing if he did hire extra, even though it's posing.

Wish I could help but unfortunately I can only do audio engineering/music and was told by DC to wait till the game's done then communicate with Aoi. So don't get me wrong I have nothing against DC personally, though I do have my criticisms (just like everyone else).

"Patreon lied to us again" huh? Who said Patreon lied? I certainly didn't.

I think the reason why he refuses to hire another artist is either he's so greedy that he won't spend another penny for another artist or he's too anal about the art and would not hire anything because he can't trust this work over them. I dunno tho, it's just my 2 cents.

for me it's also that i'm tired of milfs in STS. if the hijab girl was more like jenny/grace age range or even part of school/college girl cast i'd be more interested

The main reason there are more updates with the milfs is because DC and crew chose to let the paying Patrons decide on the actual development/release order for content. That said, out of the 5 most recent votes for content update direction, 4 of them have been decided to be the girls of the MC's age (Jenny, Eve, Rhonda & Annie). The only one that wasn't was the main story update, which also brought several new interactions with some of the school girls as well as the other older ladies. And the recent tech update was pretty much a necessity in order to actually pull off a lot of the more in-depth mechanics that will play roles across all the stories.

As always, it's just a matter of waiting till everyone get's their turn.

He's said many times it's pretty much the latter. He doesn't want to hire another artist unless they can imitate his style close enough that he doesn't have to go through and re-do all their work. Personally I think that's a cop-out since there are lots of little things another artist could save him time on; he already outsources the in-between animation, and if someone else was doing the backgrounds or UI work I doubt many of us would notice.

I think the real answer is that he wants to be the artist rather than the art director, and I can't really fault him for not wanting to deal with the hassle of managing a team any more than he already does.

These devs are making almost 100 grand a month before taxes/fees, and they put out 6 animations every few months while "working" on a tech update that seems to be forever on the horizon. Insane. I remember when this game got actual huge content updates. If they were still working at the same pace as before, this 'tech update' should be long done.
