Gotta be real man. If I could get those AI backgrounds and a semi annual update.. I'd take it.You are joking,right?
None of those look good
The art was never a problem through,DC has been ahead of that for years.Gotta be real man. If I could get those AI backgrounds and a semi annual update.. I'd take it.
It's easier to blame DC being a lazy artist though. Instead of some literally who coder who is probably the actual person taking his sweet time.The art was never a problem through,DC has been ahead of that for years.
Is the coding and everything else that is behind schedule about this fucking tech update.
No, it's not the solution, because patreon don't give a flying fuck about authors performance. Patreon only cares about money and guidelines, that's all. The solution is here and here.None of these would work. Authors would game a system that demands them defining the "guarantees" and there would be endless yapping about "I meant this by that so the condition is met". And forget about a uniform process across all sites.
There is a solution.
For the first year, 50% of any paying-subscriber's monthly pay goes directly to the author, like now, but the other 50% is withheld until work is being released. About a week after work is released Patreon automatically calls all paying-subscribers since the previous release to vote on whether or not the newest work meets expectations (votes are weighted by how many months each voter paid across the interval). The vote is open for a week. If 50%+ of voters say YES, the author gets the other 50% in one big pay-off. Otherwise, the money is split across other Patreon authors, with paying-subscribers having limited control on exactly who gets it (so subscribers can't game the system as money always definitely leaves their hands and they can certainly punish this author but they can't control exactly who else gets the money so they must REALLY want to punish this author).
What happens after a year of not delivering? Paying-subscribers are called to vote on what share of their monthly pay still goes directly to the author: 50% or lower.
This system will GREATLY improve everything about this kind of financing and all thresholds can be tuned to be looser for authors that consistently meet expectations. Authors would be greatly incentivized to deliver often and according to the expectations they themselves set to grow their subscriber base. Voting can also be tuned to adjust the punishment depending on how unhappy paying-subscribers are.
Patreon just has to care about more than policing fantasies and getting their cut.
I honestly doubt the update will come out this year. The art and writing tasks aren't even finished yet, you still have one third of the posing and coding tasks unfinished and the whole bug testing/fixing will take at least a couple of months.How is everything in cuck world? You still hoping for a 2024 release?

Scientists of the 17th century would have been stunned to discover that the solution to creating a perpetual motion machine was to promise horny nerds porn then just not deliver.I don't know what it is that keeps me coming back to this thread (amusement maybe? the drama?)
It would be interesting to see whether the post-tech-update plot will still continue to use played out Trump vs. Hillary jokes that were already boring when the game was first announced.Imagine a world where Summertime Saga not only completes the tech update, but actually manages to have a satisfying conclusion.
At this rate I think we'll see The Winds of Winter before STS Tech Update. (I do not believe we will ever see The Winds of Winter.)I honestly doubt the update will come out this year. The art and writing tasks aren't even finished yet, you still have one third of the posing and coding tasks unfinished and the whole bug testing/fixing will take at least a couple of months.
DC had both the time and the cash to literally go to college and get a comp sci degree, then finish STS with time to spare AND have a nice legit normie day job waiting for him if drawing smut ever dries up. I have to conclude he has gambling debt or a drug habit or some such. Maybe the mafia subplot in the game is autobiographical?DC could have learned to code himself the past few years in-between his drawing and waiting on his coders to complete his updates for him.
Don't be a pessimist. Its only been three years since an update that wasn't just glorified "extra" scenes.ONE FUCK YEAR WITHOUT UPDATE, WTF
Very doubtful as he's the one that first pointed out the April deadline. Even corrected a few posts that thought the abandoned tag came into effect after the first year passed.I'm here just waiting in excitement to see Count Morado cope, seethe, and mald when he sees the abandoned tag in April.
The one who's coding is obviously lazy.Kinda jealous of this guy's programmer, gets to do a line of code a day and still gets paid lol
