You're right, I just checked and I have a native 16:9 resolution. Thought otherwise, though...He's definitely mentioned before that a large portion of the player base is mobile, and with the aspect ratios of modern phones getting even wider (the Galaxy s20 clocks in at 20:9) the black bar problem has gotten even worse. Of course, this means that in two or three years he'll have to announce the move to ultra-widescreen since 16:9 will still have black bars on phones
I'm a little curious where you live if you're playing on a 16:10 PC. I haven't owned a 16:10 monitor in over a decade, and I'd assumed they'd become an endangered species since I've only seen 16:9 or ultrawide monitors in US stores and online storefronts for years. Do you work mainly on a laptop? I do recall seeing an article recently that 16:10 is making a comeback there.

16:9 --> 20:9 is way easier then 4:3 -> 16:9. Because you just have to cut left and right. And when there is only background its not a problem, like when you have to cut of the top and bottom, I would guess.He's definitely mentioned before that a large portion of the player base is mobile, and with the aspect ratios of modern phones getting even wider (the Galaxy s20 clocks in at 20:9) the black bar problem has gotten even worse.

I was being facetious, I don't actually expect he'll do any more background conversions since he's doubtless used up all of his patrons' goodwill by taking over a year on this one. It does beg the question: why wasn't he drawing backgrounds in widescreen and chopping off the left and right sides to make them 4:3, like what they did for TV shows in the era before HDTV? DC was discussing a widescreen conversion for years (I vaguely remember him throwing out the idea on polls or streams in ~2018), so I'm surprised he didn't try to future-proof his work earlier. I know it's water under the bridge now, but I'm curious if he ever addressed it on stream at some point.

2 points :
#1 - It's been ~10 months, not "over a year"
#2 - DC draws in 4K and scales it down to fit the game. Would be fun to see the milkers switch out their moaning that the game is now 10GB per build cause DC kept the 4K pics

I don't really care about the download size of a game, as long as it's worth the download time and space.

I think he actually started drawing wider backgrounds back in 2020, but the answer why he didn't do it before is probably rather simple. Given that you have to balance a background so it works in 4:3 and 16:9 it's quite a bit more work (I still recall DC tinkering with the cemetery background, so it would look good in both versions) and he probably didn't think an update would actually happen, before he convinced himself that he wanted to do it. If you don't think that you'll ever use 16:9, there isn't a need to make an extra effort to create 16:9 assets.
I don't think DC himself was ever really happpy with 4:3, but up to some point I'd say his plan was to finish SS as it is and to do the next project properly. That very much changed in those last years and now SS is supposed to be "as good as it can be".
But as mentioned before, the problem with this tech update actually isn't the art. If he had stuck to his original plan to only add 5 to 8 scenes and to redo the backgrounds, I'm sure he would have finished the necessary art by the end of July/August last year. I guess I'll never understand why they didn't just hire the people they hired now right in the beginning.
I'm not giving DC any money so I don't really care what they do as long as they are working, but these two last years have certainly cost them a lot of good will and money.

The game basically stagnated for the last 1,5 years (certainly since may 2020), when it could have grown a lot. It's not unreasonable to expect that DC would make a decent 6 figure number by now if they hadn't bungled/bloated the main story and if they had released the tech update on time. From a financial point of view 2020 and 2021 were really lost years.

Judging by how long he has been doing the tech update, we will see 8K

Wish he would fucking finish or extend story arcs of existing characters instead of just keep adding half assed stuff. Feels like god damn Star Citizen with all of its T0 features.

There are a bunch of people thinking that they are not getting their money's worth on a free distribution site.
Why even answer the posts mentioning milk, saves, next update or lack there of? Sure would cut down of redundant posts/pages that are here.

And before one of the exceptions say they are patreons, whatever, WTF purpose is it to kvetch here - go kvetch on the patreon, discord, or wherever you have actual possible access with the development team? Bitching here advances nothing except to show you're a bitch.

If complaining here is pointless then the opossite is pointless as well. Defending DC is as useless as complaining, yet, that never stop anyone of the guys who defend him, they keep doing it.
The premise is wrong, noone came here and argue couse they think it's going to change anything. Regardless of their position this is true for both sides. They do it couse they are bored or frustrated.
I understand how some people get angry with criticism and answer agresively but to use uselness as a form of discredit miss the point that internet forums are not made for usefull discussion and that their own interventions are from a practical perspective also a huge waste of time.

It’s for the tech update or a hidden update involving witch and maybe Sasquatch.
