Call me crazy, but I don't really like it when good things come to an end. DC has a team, and he has direction. I agree, he could stand to hire some more help, but there would be a limit to how much faster it would go due to the fact that all the art is hand-drawn. If DC is still making this 3 years from now, then so be it. I'm in no rush to see the end.
How about just a sucker because you don't accept this behavior anywhere else.

How do you have direction when you keep adding elements, changing plots, and ask the audience what to do next? At some point he'll grow bored and give up when the money train stops, life gets in the way, or perhaps y'all have filled his retirement coffer just right and he can just ghost.

His unwillingness to hire anyone to help with art boils down to milking. Every artist had assistants. Marvel, DC comic, Disney, etc, they all use multiple artist on every project. It happens every single place where art work goes on. DC's just greedy and he knows it. He says he worked in the gaming industry than he damn well knows this is how it works. People can mimick a style. There's people in the fan art page who prove it. DC ain't a unicorn.

I'm tired of being feed a lie and being told accept it. I can't continue to reward this purposeful bad behavior. If you want to, that's your right but don't be mad when all you have is emptied pockets and a half finished game.

About 90% of the fanarts you see are people arranging the poses drawn by DC on a background drawn by DC. There's about 10% OC.

Also, it's not just a matter of mimicking art. You have to draw consistently with the rest of the game, and draw fast enough to keep up. The artist has to know the game, and be comfortable working on porn. Also, managing a team of artists takes time, time he can't spend on drawing himself. You also can't babysit everyone to get the game to look just like you want it to look. To actually stay consistent with the rythm we have, it'd take 2 artists, and DC to focus on team management. And that would not increase the speed of production. That's also 2 extra people to pay and support, for very minimal gain in the end.

For 50.000 bucks a month there should bei some cash left to persuade the artist to do some more work.

For me it's milking and that's why I Support some smaller Projects, even though I like this game.

The ability to not experience butthurt is directly proportional to the amount of time you are willing to devote to following/playing the game. If the state and pace of development of this title bothers you so much, quit. It's no more complicated than that. Go bye bye, and all your suffering will be at an end.

Patreon isn't meant to fund development the way something like Kickstarter operates. It's a tip jar, nothing more. I'd be 100% fine if DC didn't use a dime of the Patreon money to pay other contributors, and he continued working on the game by himself and in two years had a nice college fund set up for his kid.

Can't quite remember how I unlocked it but for me it worked before getting her pregnant.
Visit Debbie a few times at night when Diane is on the couch watching tv and I think a cutscene will appear I'm not sure though

I would rather wait 3-4 months for an update of this game, than to get 3-4 shorter updates of a game with a derivative plot and cookie cutter characters.
What about if judith or eve is the character for short updates? Just curious on thoughts.

The problem with short updates is that you very likely won't produce a good update. You'll end up missing a lot of story/content and have to squeeze in a sex scene somewhere to keep people happy. That's basically what happened to Mia's update which needed about 50 days and is still regarded as pretty bad, since the story feels rushed and incomplete.

Depends on what it is, if it is just a special thing, like this x-mas update, then I would be happy, since this is not a cookie cutter cgi game, using the same art assets as dozens of other games. I have little doubt that they would do something fun, though I still prefer the full story arcs to be the longer updates.
