I agree that he's been working at the same speed and it's admirable he's managed to keep from burning out like so many others on this board. My issue is that every update keeps adding more and more things, so working at the same pace and not bringing on anyone new means that inevitably the update pace is going to slow further and further. Announcing that the next update will be the biggest yet immediately after taking the longest time yet to release the current update (before it's even released, to really put salt in the wound) is going to put a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths and the complaints and criticism will only get louder. It's obvious that he's frustrated with the delays as much as the rest of us are, so I'm having a hard time understanding why he's preemptively setting up months of bitching rather than delivering a solid Eve update without the added fluff.
the misteries of life...i once questioned myself the same question when the DM presented us with a Tarrasque and our Barbarian just attacked him like it was a "simple" dragon....but to each their own as they say...

I love how the number of bugfix issues has skyrocketed.
I'm willing to bet most of the issues are tied to the new DEX system. The pragency feature was a major factor in the Diane update being delayed. If the Eve update has an introduction of a new feature, this shit is going to happen again.

Why does this game even have minigames?

Does anyone actually want more minigames? Why the fuck is so much time wasted on something nobody wants?
I think it's a carry-over from when DC started making this game just to learn how to code for Ren'py.

Just because you do not like the minigames doesn't everyone else does
i dont really like,but since i stopped paying for it,i just bear with it...but if you put some logic into it,minigames do put a toll in developing speed,if you consider they need a specific program just for little to none benefits(i'm speaking of Dexter's basketball challenge btw,which needs a high lvl of dex and it still is a little too annoying considering it how little benefits it brings),some minigames are funny and get a nice tone to the game(like the lotery of life for diane's/daisy pregnancy),but the basket one and the karaoke/music show was a friggin waste of time that gave more troubles than solved,or more nuisances than laughs....

just wait at least 1 more month and you will get the update. lol
well,i dont have any problem with waiting that,since i'm more worried with another game than SS for the next 2 updates(which will probably mean that the nearest hype about a release this thread could give me,is probably fated to happen next year)

Again you not liking them doesn't mean they are a waste of time

So when is the game going to come to an end? The final version so to speak. Great game but having to start over every update makes it not worth the effort.

it depends on perspective really,but as far as i seen,those 2 minigames arent really that popular,and by now,it really just costed Dogeek the time and effort to try and correct them just after the release...and just so you know,depending on how complex the code is,programing a minigame is just a friggin headache...take as example the pizza delivery minigame,bugged as fuck when it got released,and it still have its problems,the only advantadge it brought was to some people who didnt used the cheat mode to earn the moeny to buy a car and a house faster...

Summertime saga is not visual novel but a dating sim and I don’t see how removing Gameplay elements from a video game is it is a good thing. Also the music and pizza can be changed though out the development of the game to run better.

dating sims minigames are more like the rap contest than the pizza delivery or the basketball ones...heck,there are lots of minigames on dating sims that are more like quizes,so they dont burden the coder with anymore unecessary work....to add even more,basketball minigame and karaoke minigame doesnt even mean anything to you gamewise...take as example the minigames for stats,they have a function there,just as the life loto(which gave a hell of a work for dogeek thanks the pregnancy bugs),the pizza delivery,the fishing and even the tending to Diane's garden....
(a nice example of annoying minigames on porn games are those candycrush/tetris ones)
