i just come here and watch the shit show. seems like this is a usual occurrence in porn games where, the devs milk and scam mfs. For example, bone tales the manor, something unlimited... etc. It's insane.
Bones tales the manor is the literal father of devs milking and scamming mfs. The fucking goat. Don't put it in the same bag as these amateurs.

He could split up the code and hire people to work and fix instead of doing it by himself.
He's not doing it himself. He has a coder hired. He also has art posers, writer and a few other staff. His coding back in the beginning of development and hiring various people with various ways of coding over the years is the reason why the code is FUBAR now and needed fixed.

gotta be pretty hard to keep coders considering how much they can earn, gotta be someone that has a passion for the project?

No clue. Could be the challenge of restructuring 26MB, a few hundred thousand lines in 1600+ files, of code that is the motivator.

lust was aight, treasure had good gameplay and the scenes were decent but the story was whack, and what i played of genesis was decent, but i'm waiting for it to finish since it's so close, then i'm gonna start over.
genesis is completed btw. not officially v1.0 but the story is finished and has setup for the next game.

Show me even a single coder who has a passion for any work he does. Working with code is one of the most thankless and mind numbing things in the world.
true: you need to understand code like java/arduino like you're talking to it in order to have passion for it. also depends on who you're working for if you're not going solo

His progress bar went from 82% down to 76%. What happened? Did they delete 6% of the data?
Basically at that time all the individual tasks were given the same percentage to be completed. Some would take a day or so to fix and others weeks so it wasn’t super accurate. They just assigned the proper amount to each task left. So if a really big task gets finished the progress bar will increase a lot more than it would have previously. This gives a more accurate view for us.

The craziest thing about this is that in the last 6 months he has actuall gained subs even though there hasn't been an update in a year.
It's not crazy - there are 8 billion people in the world, over 5 billion use the internet daily, at least 1 billion who have played at least 1 adult game. More than 1 million people access the internet each day for the first time.

There are more than 31 million results for Summertime Saga from a Google search. Over 5 million video results, alone. No matter what booru you go to, there's fan art of the game. Whenever there is a discussion in a forum about popular adult games, the game is mentioned. Hell, the game is about as mainstream as the adult movie "Behind the Green Door" was in the 1970s.

I would say his current maintenance and slight uptick in number of paid members (though, lower $$$ per subscriber) is because of his monthly status reports. It's good PR, whether there is progress or not.

I'm a web developer myself and you clearly have no idea of what you are talking about. I would say roughly 80% of the colleagues I've met really enjoy what they do, and would not do anything else for a living.
There are so many self taught youngsters, or more experienced people that achieve overwhelming projects, on their free time, for free, as a hobby. Hell, do you even know the principle of "open source software" ? Some, if not most, of these projects are free. The whole linux ecosystem is built on the work of people doing it by passion.
It's a shame people like you can be so ignorant and still blatantly giving their opinions on a subject they have no idea of.

I saw him working on the judith update (so he is FAR behind the tech update), he should realy hire a second coder (if the first is even on full time payment?) Its just a joke now...

Saw who working on the Judith update? If you mean DC, the Judith update is three updates in the future (Tech, Rhonda, Annie and then Judith). Why would that suggest he is "far behind?" Also, when streaming on Picarto - which do you think he believes fans want to see him drawing more? Backgrounds and other images for the tech update or content for a popular character? He can work on the boring tech update art off-stream.

Again, having more than one coder and the managing of more than one coder in the past is partially responsible for the reason why the code is in the shape it was and is undergoing a full revision/fix. A number of different people with a number of different coding styles creating a mishmash that the development team has let people know that it's a miracle it runs at all in its current form.

In his stream of course, an you do understand that game titles have coder rooms with 10, 20 ppl all working on the code of the game? And it works? Its just a question of coordination, so one coder should take othe overhead and deligate to the others what they should do, so it it is not a mess. And he should help out with posing, as he can do that with his skills. not working on art for an update wich is far in the future.

I asked "who" you saw and not "where." Okay, so you meant DC and he's not "FAR behind the tech update" but far ahead.

I understand what you are saying and I'm not disagreeing that teams of coders can work together with proper management. However, that didn't work well for DC in the past with the coding side. He also doesn't want to do it the way you want it done - that's one of the perks of being your own boss, you do it your way rather than answer to supervisors. His subscribers make their opinions known in various ways, including canceling their subscriptions if they want. They can still get the game whenever they want from his website just like the rest of us, at no cost.
tech update still ant drop been like 4 years or something ant it.
Almost 2 years and 8 months - and probably another half year or longer left before it does drop. If you're a subscriber, feel free to cancel if you don't want to continue - everyone who is has that option. When an update does drop, you can get it for free from his website if you still want it then.

When I was still actively modding this game I enjoyed exactly that. Plus the freedom of choice, of course, and the mixture of coding, art modding, game playing, which makes this project unique -- at least for a modder.
