They did all the "easier" tasks first... the ones that remain appear to be the more difficult, time suckers. See the copy of the progress bar updates from my FAQ, that I have tracked 88 times since February 2022.
The problem is that each posing task is an entire character story or route, which historically took up several weeks at best during a normal update cycle. DC isn't helping matters by continually adding new artwork and fluff to the Jenga tower of work to be done, either. Like the several movie theater scenes he was working on a couple weeks ago, or the background/cutscene art, or apparently every single static character pose that was made prior to 2021.
why is he even doing this stuff? complete waste of time just like when he worked on the lighthouse interior for weeks. if he hired 5 more artists he could tell them to do stuff like this but as long as he is the sole artist he should focus on the stuff that people actually play the game for. he could have finished the art for the ronda, annie and judith updates a long while ago. just draw additional h-scenes if those are finished.
2021 - 60% (Let's get to work!)
They are trying to catch up with the people who download their games.
Eh, I'm glad some of the old art gets remade to be honest. It looks better and will be more consistent with the rest of the game, even though I personally don't like some of the design changes, it's worth it overall. Whether its a good choice to tack all that onto an already messy tech-update is another story.
What design changes do you not like? I'm curious because I have ones that I don't like as well. I HATE HATE HATE the new Jane artwork. I thought she was hot before and now I think she looks strung out. Not sure I dig the new Mia either and I prefer the old Eve to the new Eve. What are the changes you don't like?
Let's be fair, until now he basically hasn't touched any content that that was actually created post 0.17. Most of the things he is changing now were made in the early 0.10s and they kinda deserve some attention. The school, for example, is one of the most used places in the game, yet it featured some of the the worst/simplest background art.
The needle moved I guess
I agree on this one.
This has exactly been my thinking as well. He didn't need to "remake" Summertime Saga. Just complete the game, declare it as done and move on. Use your new tech for a new game with new characters. Maybe in the future you can go back and remake SS.
The only character change I specifically dislike is Debbie. She used to look way better before her reworked art, maybe there's some other design changes that I'm not aware of or I forgot which I don't like though. But overall its definitely a good thing that the art gets redone imo.
Because apparently that's what their Patrons wants. (According to the Patron poll, obviously).
Sadly, but DC stream is alive and it supposedly gives the right to moderators not to put such AB-plate.
