i don't mind him being a nice guy and doing favors for the girls, but he can be a nice guy and proactively want to fuck these women from the beginning instead of "stumbling" into sex scenes almost randomly all the time. it just get's samey i guess. i also like stuff like the telescope feature where he's spying on the girls and i always wanted it expanded back when i was still hopeful about this game's future

I think this stumbles on the bigger point of: Clueless sexless moron who suddenly gets an erection because it's one more selfless task versus the previous stereotype of sex offender.

Both are kinda boring, but the former fits this game better. HOWEVER Darkcookie spent enough time on this, he should have added some nuance. I think the protag being proactive like during Eve or Roxxy routes somewhat would have been good; would require very little change in their whole gameplay because while Eve starts off crushing on him and only falls more head over heels, there is bullshit she is dealing with and Roxxy whole thing is that she doesn't and gets won over. You can save the "aww shucks" stuff for the MILF routes because it makes sense that he is shy around older woman and misreading obvious signals

Finally the abandoned tag. I know he's working on the game but 2 years in between updates is ridiculous. He's been getting easy money that whole time

Something I'm curious about. Let's put aside, for the moment, that the dev is grifting people. Just for a moment.
According to SS wiki, development on the game first started in the summer of 2016, from the ground up. This continued until at most april of 2021, so that's roughly 5 years of development. This including writing, story boarding, posing, coding, and art for a significant number of characters. The tech update began, hypothetically, immediately following the last update in April of 2021. That means, as of now, the tech update has been in development for 3 years. Now, the assumption I, and likely most others, have is that the tech update would mostly be a reworking of the backend code, along with some minor art and writing updates to fix story elements. So my question is (and this is mostly aimed at devs who know this) what could be causing such a significant delay? I realize it's been stated that the lead code monkey doesn't work full time on the game, but it still seems like this sprint is taking a significant amount longer than it realistically should have. Are there any theories or explanations, aside from grift, that could cause this?

Isn't it like 2 years though? Considering the last release was the 'pre-tech' update, which was released in '22.

As said above, the planned dating system for the school girls should fix some of that. Right now it basically goes from finished story -> sex. Once they add the dating content, it'll be finished story -> dating -> unlocking scenes/events -> sex.

Then again, MC's general attitude almost certainly won't change.

Does anyone know what's going on in the two recent streams? I like the scene DC is drawing but it seems way too intimate for a Jenny scene unless it has to do with the "girlfriend experience".

In fact I'd go so far as to say I love the concept and art of the scene but it feels WAY more Debbie than it does Jenny.

As far as I understood DC some days ago, they plan to differentiate more between Jenny's two branches. As such I'd imagine this may be part of the nicer/submissive part. It would be great if each set of choices would get at least one unique scene or so. I always disliked that both of her "branches" felt basically the same.
