Nope, it's been there pretty much from day 1 and nothing is known about it. Probably DC thought he'd be done with SS years ago and moved on to other stuff, but then people started to throw massive $ at him and he went "welp, might as well keep going" and didn't bother changing the Patreon thingyI only noticed for the first time that DC's site has an "Unannounced Project" mentioned alongside SS.
Has the dev ever given any hints or indications what this project is, perhaps on stream?
Aside the extreme Engrish, we got ~12 scenes in 10 months, more than many "real" updates, so whining we get nothing is pretty fail. The tech update was needed since before Erik's route when you had to pray RNGesus liked you enough to not fuck your save game every new build. They did kinda fix that along the years but the code was and still is hot garbage. You'll have to deal with it : either they do a massive overhaul now or the game fucks itself every update cause the base is wonky at best. What they did wrong is presume they'd be done within months and hype up the release last year, but that's nothing newIm going to be really honest not having content for a good while it kinda sucks, i think tec update which so far i only see backgrounds, they could have been made little by little into the other updates, understandable that some of the players are mobile users but this tec update is going for long time now, is delaying the game progress for about year, although they managed to drop a few animations which was good but its not considerably enough for most people that kinda want to see content progression, i know in fact this is a must need for later on when the game is complete but i would say this could have been done after roxxy update and wouldnt be that much of a pain in the ass now since after roxxy alot of art has been done, lets hope the tec update ends this year fast has possible since we gotta wait extra 6-7 months for the new content, i understand both side this tec update is must need but also is a creator of hate since the game is pretty much onhold from content for a few months now.
Thing is : you can actually see what they're doing with SS. You can get a giantass tracker with everything listed in details when you Patron DC (10$+ might be a bit harsh though) and the Discord has the devs talking about it almost daily. Every1 in here crying without doing much doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things (aka people that support and actually get stuff in exchange)There's a thing called Hofstadter's Law, which is: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.
I can't tell you how many times I've started a long-overdue code rewrite and had it take 10 times longer than I expected, and prevented me from giving new content to my users until it was done. It's hard to assure people that you're doing valuable work that they can't see.
