From what I gathered from the more knowledgeable regulars in the thread it would seem so. I have been lurking here for 4 years up until I finally broke down and Dl'ed the release , got tired of waiting for fabled tech update. I think the wait will be worth it though , this game has a lot going for it. It was fun to play through and it did what it was supposed to which was to keep me entertained and provide a spicy kick here and there.

"Will be worth the wait" : people seem to wet dream the tech build will be the coming of Jeebus 2.0 ..... All it'll do is make the screen witder with some new locations, a few new girls that'll probably won't have much if any lewds and the re-coding nobody cares about and won't affect them that much (unless it can make the "my save ate itself cause I skipped 4 builds and the warning told me to be careful" go away).

Almost 8 ... and yea, it will continue at least that long in development. That said - DC could have ended development anytime in the past year or so and called it "complete" and then just made DLC and bugfixes. And then make some big announcement about a reboot a new version in 16:9. That's what a lot of devteams do. Think of all the games you play - indie on up to AAA - and the years of additional patches, "additional scenes", "director cut", etc that are pushed out.

Honestly, it's no different - but looking at it under a different perspective.

You should keep the "beginning" to 2016, when he launched the Patreon. Nobody knows he trolled around 2 years before that, it'll only complicate things further. And by judging the level of bigbrainitude around the place, that's 1 thing you don't want

Well I meant the end of the game in 2040 LOL not just the tech update. Originally I had been waiting to play the game for the first time due to the tech update. Obviously my brain grew enough to abandoned that idea.

Like Morado said above : the game is technically "finished" and all we're getting are some kinda DLCs for girls who had nothing. And now we're getting a "reboot/remake" with the new code.

Sure the storey is complete , but the addition of new content and maybe a few extra girls still makes waiting and playing it again worth it to me.

Yeah I am not really counting the stuff he did before he started his patreon. But even if he didn't make the whole tech update. It would still take years to finish this game, you sill have handfull of characters with very little or no content, and there is also the reworks for Debbie, mia and Erik's stories. The stuff with Debbie and Erik especially, looks really bad compared with the new content.

Just played through the majority of the game for the first time. Honestly, besides adding a potential marriage option and maybe a real true ending where you select one girl or several to be with, I'd say the game is pretty much completed. Instead of revamping all the content, I feel like the dev is way better off just making a new game entirely. Either that or making a sequel or spin-off but I'm not sure how well that would go.


After finishing the game I went to patreon and here to see the general perception the game has from the community, and it seems he's being accused a lot of milking patrons, and stalling on updates. All this could be avoided if he just said "Alright, I'm making a new game and it's going to take a long time for anything playable to come out". Atleast that way we could look forward to some actually new content instead of a widerscreen and handfull of scenes for girls no one cares about.

You are correct in your assumption. That said, there are reasons why the dev isn't moving on - it's because a large portion of his subscribers and fanbase feel there is more to do here (and so does he). Strangely you say "no one cares about" yet there are still storyline updates scheduled for several characters that supporters have voted on that they want to see happen - for R(h)onda, Judith, etc. These small scenes while waiting for the recoding of the game and optimizing imagery for mobile players (which, the gaming industry has stated more developers - indie and AAA - need to direct more effort to) are simply to quell the masses while the tech update is happening.

so Eve disappeared from the game after putting her child in daycare aside from appearing in the evening in her room. In morning and day she's not at school, her home, park... anywhere.

How can the story mode NOT end with a big family orgy with several options and positions is baffling to me, and the fact that the patreons don't ask for that is even more baffling... shouln't that be a rewarding celebration for the completion of the game? Instead nothing happens.

Doubtful. Skip a few days and check if you're not on a weekend day. If after a week or 2 she's still gone, then come back and panic

There's no family and "story mode" doesn't exist. You finished the "main route", not the entire game. You can solo that "main route" without doing anything else, doesn't mean you finished the "game". And the goal of the route was to find out who killed MC's notdad, which you should have found out when completing said route. Massive orgy with 20 girls wasn't part of the deal. And since the game is still 4+ years away from completion, it could still happen in 2030
