You know fighting the toxicity with more toxicity won't really help.

♪ The toxicity of our city, of our city ♪

he has a progress bar on his website and he normally finishes art at a good pace, it's the coding and writing that are slowing things down, stuff he can hire more people for imo

Can and should, which feeds back into the "He makes 65k a month!" argument that some here get so butt hurt by. Case in point...

We'd miss out on all the juicy fake drama and milking scamlord claims though, that would be a terrible loss indeed

Is DC a scamlord? No, he's giving is quality content, but he IS damn well milking this, because he has the funds to hire more people, and get things done at a much faster rate. But he won't do that, because that would be less cash going into his pocket. Don't get me wrong, hiring 2 posers to replace the one that left is a good start, but he also needs another person for coding, and maybe a part timer to take some of the writing pressure off of Sploosh, because we've already heard how he's feeling burnt out writing the main story update and wants to move on to something else.

On a side note, I have a hunch that this is also why the game has such a hard time hitting release targets, and why .20 had to be broken up into parts. It's like DC thinks that the entire game is developing at the same speed as he's doing the artwork, when that's simply not the case.

this is exactly what ive been saying, the art gets finished pretty quick, like 1 month 1/2, max 2 months. But the writing, for not being complex at all takes a long time, and they can definitely afford to add another coder too to speed things up

As far as I'm aware everybody but DC is actually only working part time. In the end that kind of makes sense, given that there's only so much art to be produced in let's say 1 year or X amount of time and that there's little reason to hire people who will then do nothing most of the time.
Then again, it's true as well, that many people do not (want to) understand this and that it causes quite a bit of rather unnecessary disappointment, which again will actually cost him quite a bit of good will and people stop giving money who else may have stayed.

It's like DC thinks that the entire game is developing at the same speed as he's doing the artwork, when that's simply not the case.

I mean, the truth remains that the game as a whole can't be finished before he's done all the artwork. So as long as he's drawing his hours every day, nothing else really matters in the big picture. But it's of course the small things, like individual releases, which may anger and disappoint some people.

I didn't mean to imply he was a scamlord, he definitely puts out quality content, it's just that he should hire more devs, even part time ones, to get updates through the door a bit quicker. I don't have some sort of petty obsession as someone earlier replied, this is my first time commenting on the topic.

Who pays you to repeat this garbage? And yes you demonstrate petty obsessiveness.

 

[Omnikuken]

Well, DC only pays if you shill for him. Does that dude count ?

Or... maybe the point simply is that people are not that much into incest as some wish?

Or... maybe the point simply is that people are not that much into incest as some wish?

There probably is logic to your statement. I think before the Roxxy update, the game mostly appealed to the incest crowd, myself included. Incest was already gone from the game by the time Diane and Jenny were reworked though.

I think the Roxxy update brought a whole new wave of fans and that has only increased after the Eve update. Those new fans probably do outweigh the "incest" fans. Maybe it was more than just a backlash, but there was a backlash. I saw it on this forum and on DCs Discord.

Is the next release coming with the widescreen update or just the end of the main story?

If it's coming with both then fair enough, but if it's just the latter then... I've known faster glaciers.

I finished the game and saved it, but the memory of my Android phone was erased. Now what should I do to not play the game again?

Throw your phone into the bin

 

[amin2020]

I want the save files of this game, I can not start the game from the beginning. Thanks

I think some days ago someone posted a complete save here.

There's no unnecessarily disappointment lol, I sure DC himself is somewhat disappointed at the rate things are going, dude predicted the 20.5 and 20.8 to take 2 months each way back last year and it still isn't done, if he isn't atleast slightly disappointed by the pace at which things are going, for the main story update atleast then I don't think he cares much about the project aside from the money.

 

[Ataman87]

Why woud he be "dissapointed" the money keep coming and the people keep giving.

He doesn't care, that's why he keeps streaming 5+ days a week for the past year while having 3 children ...... Talk about a money hungry garbage dev

Been asked and answered at least 3 times in the last 5 pages. Go back and read some stuff

 

[7thCloud]

fighting for how much time the dev take to release the next update sorry but this is stupid, there's only one answer for both sides, Support him on Patreon if you like the art and don't mind it even if he takes a million year to finish it, or delete the game from your computer and stop pledging, no one is forcing your hand!
stop complaining there are already over 100 comments pages only of people fighting why should I keep or stop my support!
there're even some people who ask others to stop the support

You know the answer would've taken fewer words than this.

 

[Omnikuken]

You know searching stuff on your own takes even less cause you don't have to ask in the 1st place

Back a long time ago he had deadlines and he met every single one, there was an update monthly and they were quality, there was no bugs really to speak of. Then he moved to this nebulous bullshit "it's ready when it's ready" and so now it takes him 3-6 months WITH help to make the same amount of content that he made previously on his own. I don't know why anyone pays him still or how he thinks it's cool to still bill monthly. Any big creator will tell you that they are 1000x as productive with a deadline. Had he stuck to the original cadence he would be half way through the 3rd sequel. I'm sure part of it is he's out of ideas and so dragging this one out as long as possible is the best thing he can do for his own long term situation.
