Well, it kinda did? During the main story updates DC's earings still grew/were at least pretty much stable, while he slowly lost ~ $15k/month in earnings this year. Sure, he still makes a lot, but it's definitely noticeable.

don't think he cares about growing earnings at this stage anymore, he has made fuck you money anyway already and spending more time with his family and not needing to work hard is probably much more valueable to him. like he was busting his ass in the first couple years of STS and you saw it in his streams. now if you look at his streams he works an hour drawing some bathroom tiles or something. i've also read this is still art he's doing for the rhonda update so him being finished with rhonda update art is completly false

He already finished the main story so everything else is "extra" in his opinion, thus he sleeps quite peacefully convincing himself that he already has delivered what he promised/advertised on Patreon.

In his defense, this game has loads of content already and he has no notion of abandoning the project so most of the fans just suck up and wait patiently for slow updates.

All I hope for is that he rekindles that passion he had years ago and start working hard on this project for the sake of his fans.

I mean, you are comparing a guy whose wife was just pregnant with their first child and who still did drunk streams every other night, to somebody who has three young children. People have to be aware that they literally demand DC on missing out on his own children growing up because they want their porn. Sure, it's fair to say that he's working a bit less than before, but there's certainly a reason for that. Next to that it's also fair to say that very few people will manage to work literally "the whole day" on one project without some kind of alternation or hiatus for years without buring out.

Then again, I don't think there's as much of a difference as people tend to say. The quality and number of larger assets (scenes, cut scenes, etc.) has improved a lot over the years and that's taking quite a bit of time, too.

I don't know why people are even claiming that (probably because he did start with Ronda's art ages ago?). A few months ago DC said that he'd like to be about "half done" with Ronda by christmas, which seems somewhat realistic to me, thought I'd guess that he's a bit behind schedule, as usual.

Roxxy's update took more than 3 months, which isn't what the other dude was claiming. Try again

It was his claim!
0.16 showed that DC can pull out a big update in about three months with a lot of scenes, many still claim that the roxxy update was the best.
That has shown that if DC wants to, he can release a big update within a quarter

If R(h)onda's update doesn't take a year and is on par with those, you might have a point. Big if

It's not the perfect comparison, though. Roxxy's update was the last one without any reworks, without the rig-system, without pregnancy and the first one, which had AEHentai do the animations, which likely means they took some time beforehand to figure everything out, too.

I'm not saying that it wasn't a really good update, but just that it's different to what we started to get with 0.17 onward. And that doesn't even include the fact, that DC by now has two more children compared to back then.

In my opinion to all this, the problem is pretty simple. This tech update has taken way too long, and quite frankly feels dragged out deliberately. And the main story was not really that investing or that good honestly so that’s why people don’t really care for it. It’s not like any of its been bad. But the main story was not really a good decision to go with in the long run. Since people clearly don’t really enjoy it that much.

As well, when people are complaining about the updates, my opinion as simple. These aren’t really updates. They are padding. They are just new scenes and mini stories to tide us over. With girls most don’t really care about or want to see more stuff with and this is honestly been an issue for a while.

The game has a bad habit of adding in a bunch of girls. No one asked for and then giving them a bunch of focus and content. Like seriously did anyone actually want these knock offs of trumps family? And did anyone want so much story with them? Their entire storyline is basically just one big meme about orange man bad, and wouldn’t it be fun to bang his daughter and wife. And mind you the entire Appeal And joke of the updates are super outdated now that we are way past that time period.

And this could’ve been fine if it didn’t take time and focus away from girls like Judith, who were there from the start of the game and have not been given even the remote amount of attention they deserve and honestly need.

I mean, let’s be real out something here. Girls like Odette and Grace are fun, but they really didn’t need more scenes. Especially Odette. Nobody dislikes her but it’s not like at the same time and he was going to say she’s really deserving of all this attention when she’s basically just a reference to Sam from Danny phantom if she wasn’t annoying and had big breast.

That’s why I call all of the padding. This is stuff with girls. No one really asked or voted for, and they’re just kind of thrown in for the sake of it. All of this should’ve been added, after the school girls, and the other characters establish early on were given plenty of content.

Sure, it’s something, but not what people really wanted or cared about.
