I have yet to see anyone but me share my take on this. Just because it's negative doesn't mean it's exactly the same as all the others. And why do you write off "complainers" as nobodies? It sounds like you want this thread to be a circlejerk fan club for DC where no other opinions and discussions can be had. Mental.
I don't want to bang on about this, but how is there even a reasonable connection? Just because you want and expect depth, doesn't mean that everybody sees it that way. It's been clear from the start that girls will get their content when they win their poll and I don't see any reason, why anybody who only wants to see let's say Judith would give DC money until that happens. Sure, the game is very light on H scenes but that has been the case from day one and it's a problem with every other 2D game, especially once we are talking about real animations and not just a few static frames.
You're making this about something completely different. I don't say that DC is a scammer and withholds content or doesn't deliver on his promises. You're confusing milking with scamming, these are two different things. You keep talking about Patron votes and stuff, I don't care about any of that. I've been following this game for a long ass time, since 0.6 I think, I've even been a regular in his stream, so I know that the development cycle has pretty much always been like this. That doesn't mean I have to agree with waiting for a long time every update to get 2 to 3 scenes. Why do you think Roxxy's update is so highly regarded and praised? Because it had a lot of lewd content and scenes.
Since I am not a native English speaker, can you please explain the exact difference in detail? Because in your posts you complain about DC milking, yet now you say he is not scamming. I am confused.
Scamming means deceiving someone. A scammer sells you something and then doesn't deliver it, or delivers something that's not as advertised or agreed upon. It's basically stealing. This is not what DC does.
I really think you've got it a bit backwards here. SS is growing quite slowly compared to many other games excactly because DC chose this whole comparatively unpopular long-term approach. I'm pretty sure that he'd be make a lot more money by now if he hadn't cared about the future of the game and had just winged it with more scenes, etc.
Yeah, I have to admit that I sometimes forget how long it can take to make a single scene and most importantly implement it in the game properly with some context. So more scenes every update would definitely make the updates take even longer. I don't agree with that making more scenes is just winging it or half assing it though, and I think the vast majority actually does care about quality. But again, quality + quantity is gonna take a lot of time.
OK I guess I might have gotten your point -- at least I think you made clear are not calling him milker nor scammer. You just find the development speed too slow, and even though you want him adding more scenes you also know that this would slow down speed even more.
Why do you say that? This year still has nearly 3 months.
Tech update probably revolves primarily around the code (with 101 of the 255 tasks being in code), and the code is about 25% complete based on the status tracker on their site after two months. Not that development can't accelerate later, especially if they've had people taking summer holidays, but at the current velocity we'd be looking at an update in Feb-March 2022. Seems like code is almost always the bottleneck too, no idea why they don't get more programmers.
that would be crazy but i can see it happening. i think most important is that dc will finish the tech update art so that he can start with rhonda. the coders are going to catch up eventually and if dc has already been working on rhonda art for 2 months, the waiting time between tech update and rhonda update might be shorter than usual. he could also use the additional time to really polish the dialogue and the story for her. i would root for rhonda to become the new fan favourite in the eyes of the fans just how it happened with with eve after her update dropped which had a lot to do with how quality the eve update was. eve wasn't really that popular before her update came out.
lol every scene ever needs to be reworked as well, hiring programmers won't help cause there's only DC drawing all the stuff and they can't work much without the art, art has always been the bottleneck for this game
You can look at the progress tracker on the website. It pretty clearly shows that the ones most behind right now are code and posing. Art, meanwhile, is 82% complete. I'm sure there's a lot of art work to be done, but right now it looks like posing and code are what are holding back the progress, not art.
of course art needs to be ahead, without the art there's not much to work on, do u seriously think if art had been completed by now we would be looking at the same progress for the other tasks lol
The contrary is true. Art has very seldom been the bottleneck.
Nothing would be easier than just taking placeholders for the images. It don't even have to be sketches but sketches would certainly help. The images can be finalized later. Have you ever seen the outtakes from, for example, Disney movies? They are full of sketches, still images and so on because they were created before the final art was finished. Same could be done here. But, again, art was always never the bottleneck.
There's only 1 coder and he's been at it for more than 2 months (we got the last lewd batch 2 months ago, the last "real update" was in April, he's been recoding for the tech build since). DC will have plenty of time to finish the lewd batch #2 before coder is done with the tech, so expect R(h)onda streams "soon" and well before the tech code is completed > just like any and all update since ~2017
