Many of you fail to recall, that he mentioned months ago, when he started the teacher route, the he was only going to produce 1 at a time to meet monthly updates, but his patreons and many here, voted to do all 4 instead, which he said at the time, would take much longer, and every single one of you supported that decision, yet now you complain simply for your own recollection failure.

Even if it takes quite some time, not releasing many update does make a lot of sense as long as save games aren't usable. Splitting his updates in monthly-ish releases would certainly be possible but I can totally understand that quite a few people are actaully against it. Playing one large update for 60 minutes and more is just a lot more satisfying than getting those usual 15 to 20 minute updates a lot of other devs deliver. If you add the fact that almost nobody wants to replay the game every time again and again you end up with people voting for really bad release schedules.

I really hope DC can settle for a good compromise since 3 to at best 4 updates per year is certainly not the best way to go, even if they contain combined way more content that the usual 10 to 12 updates some ther devs release. 6 or 7 releases per year seem fine to me.

Hey bro dont be like that,we're having a civil talk here,while waiting for the release,its not like this talk would do more than the ones on patreon or discord,and while not intentionaly,every talk about the game will sooner or later lead to the development of the same...

The problem comes up that we have a cyclical pattern that hasn't been stopped. The release dates are ALLLLLLLL the way back on page 480 and this makes the 15th+ cycle of the production values/time taken to get out a release.

My personal prediction is that page 604 will go right back to bitching about the speed of this update with the mods giving at least one warning on 606.

Honestly, how many times can it be explained that DC and co had a LOT to deal with this time? Sadly, it keeps getting "forgotten" until the game comes out and everyone can focus on the new content and break the cycle a bit longer.

Its more like new people enter in the talk,when they enter they usually see something we already discussed,and talk their opinion about that...simple,usually it begins kinda intense but after some nice conversation most simply begin to talk more about the game and less about the devs

Well with Ungawa makes 3 times already,i'm just gonna watch and see how much times the pattern will repeat itself untill the release,i already witnessed this cycle 2 times...so lets hope the release comes soon...

Dc said on discord he is still helping the devs with some art for the update ...

I doubt the update will be out anytime 'soon'

what
the
fuck

that better not be true

oh also i've heard dc said the roxxy update is going to big as fuck so prepare to wait another 3 months at least after 0.15
it would also mean the game won't be finished for 3-4 years

tbh though i'm fine with that, i think every of the main SS girls deserves a big update and a route that feels complete, but they need to implement the save feature really bad

Imagine being a person who wakes up in the morning only to spend their entire day arguing about a porn game on a forum, and furthermore complaining about their inability to fap to the porn they want at the time they want. Imagine writing paragraph after paragraph about said porn game. Now imagine waking up in the morning to spend your entire day white knighting for a porn game, against other spergs arguing about the porn game whose developer you worship, as he can do no wrong.

I get the argument against DC for perpetuating the release and the seemingly arbitrary, or nonexistent release date for the patch, and I get the counterargument, but jesus christ, the degree of bickering on this forum is just unreal for the topic it's in regards to lol. I think the solution is pretty simple; if you don't approve of his practices, don't support him on patreon, the releases are still free to you. If you do like what he's doing, support it. I'm not saying criticism is wrong, but the arguments taking place here have long past the form of constructive criticism. If his practices resonate with enough people, they'll also vote with their wallets, and he'll pick up the pace, or he'll fade into oblivion, that's just how things go. Still, although I don't post much here at all, I find myself coming back here to read the hilarious sperging out every now and then. Thanks for the entertainment fellas.

But seriously, some of you guys really need to reevaluate your lives at some point. >_>

Well if some discussions of my part amused you,i can only say you're welcome,if they annoyed i say that i'm sorry.Dunno what discussions do for you,but to me they are entertaining and help to clear my mind during work,since acquiring new insight from others really help me relax while i'm having to revise or rewrite articles....

I don't mean to stir up more shit, but if i'm remembering correctly it was the choice of putting out 2 teachers opposed to 4. Of course everyone chose 4. I'd just like to say that if we are going to be nit picky here one could easily bring up that most of DC's artwork is already done beforehand and even if it wasn't his methods allow him to draw something up very quickly. The big thing that happened in my eyes is the transition the team made by hiring on a new coder(Dogeek) so this most likely is what took up a lot of the time to finish up this update.

Ya, but see, you are inferring something, then speculating based upon your own inference.

And what is wrong with deducing the information given to us through updates? You never mentioned the option given to us in one of the DC updates asking if the majority would like to see a 2 teacher update or 4. This shouldn't be overlooked. See in half of this forum you'll see people back up DC giving positive PR and the other half "calling him out" on every little thing. I like to stand neutral on the subject, but when you say something, such as what was said in your original quote, it's void as soon as that update came out of him asking his patrons whether they would like to see a 2 teacher update or the 4. I'm not sure why you overlooked everything else I said in my former comment above except for the time-frame/methods bit?

Well to be fair not releasing the PC version because the Android has some save problems is very dickish move from DarkCookie to his PC patreon supporters. I can understand why most people are on edge.
