[PlayerUnknown47]

avez-vous les gars vérifié picarto de dc récemment? il a dessiné une maison dans les bois pour les deux derniers streams, est-ce que quelqu'un sait si c'est lié à la mise à jour de rhonda ?

It's related to a witch in the woods.

I Appreciate your time and hard work on the game, but I ask you how soon before you release a new update?

The lavatory in the yard is especially well drawn. What attention to detail!

so do i understand this right, the 3rd batch of scenes is going to release shortly with 6 new scenes and after that we will basically get a batch 4 with 12 or more new scenes while the log cabin and the monster/witch girl that lives within it will be part of the tech update that will probably take 6 more months or so?

As far as I know. Maybe even the 6 + 12 scenes are not the end. Seems to be as long as the Tech update is delayed there will be more scenes. That would Fall in line with that the art is now faster then the coding, posing stuff. So who knows.

I don’t think DC is around here, so you would need to go to his stream, but as he said it’s almost done I would guess maybe next 7 days.

Pfew, not the best news. I mean, it's fine that they'll add scenes (and pregnancies?) for those who else probably wouldn't have gotten their's anytime soon or possibly even at all, but it's really been way too long since we've had a proper story update.

I see he didn't even try to address the fact the progress tracker has been stuck at 66% for weeks now. And by that I mean provide a reason, unless he spoke about it previously and I just missed it.
Good stuff about the additional scenes though.

Yeah it seems it would be better if they did it parallel, don‘t really know how they could do it without both updates (tech/Ronda) taken long or or without the Tech update taking until 2025, but it would have been the best. In hindsight you are always smarter and they didn’t seem to think it would take so long, but that’s tech updates for you

Uhm what?

Not in this one, dunno anymore if he said something before.

Think that sounds about right, DC knows tech update isn't finishing anytime soon so the +12 is essentially early damage control I guess lol.

It's not just unlikely. Considering they're recoding the entire game, there's such a slim chance of saves being compatible going forward that it's laughable. Also, to the mod guy who's always in this thread: RIP to all that work my dude lol

You are certainly right that it might take a bit longer than a day or two to update the mod. There are three thousand images I need to adjust, plus another three thousand for the optional content. I hope this can be done automatically in parts, but a lot of manual work is to be expected. Depending on the amount of change on the coding side, I will have some fun weeks coming up that might get me occupied for a release or more. But I don't think they re-coded everything from scratch.

it's honestly crazy that he can't even give an estimate for when the tech update will be done. it could very well not even release this year. as for the 12 or more new scenes, i hope he at least makes a poll or tells us which girls will receive the new scenes, if it's just side characters like the women from the mafia hideout i won't be replaying the game for that and just wait until the tech update is out.

 

[Bob69]

Is 16:9 display included in the "coming soon" update?

No, the 16:9 is the Tech updated so the next full update (when ever that is). The coming soon is the 3rd batch of new scenes.

 

[Heycock]

On top of the 6 new scenes, at least 12 additional scenes will also be created and potentially more.

So, they are expecting to release 3 more pre tech update. And since they take 3-4 months, that's something like 9-12 months. Maybe even more. What a mess. Anyway, hope Roxxy gets a proper scene this time.

 

[Bob69]

what does the 3rd batch of new scenes mean exactly?

When you look at the OP inside the "Changelog" spoiler you see the "Pre Tech" updates. There are currently 2 and there will at least 2 more before the Tech update is out. So it will be rather small update "just" with 6 respectively 12 new scenes.

So, they are expecting to release 3 more pre tech update. And since they take 3-4 months, that's something like 9-12 months. Maybe even more. What a mess. Anyway, hope Roxxy gets a proper scene this time.

Yeah could be or they could release them earlier now, we don't really know, would have to ask DC when he streams. But I doubt it will take 9-12 months (maybe a bit Hopium)

 

[McSlut]

i wonder if it would be better if he would just work on rhonda instead of more pre tech updates. if he's done with the rhonda art he could just move on to annie. yeah it would suck to wait for so long but i'd rather wait and then get two updates i actually care about (rhonda and annie) in a quick succession than 3 more updates with just scenes of girls i don't care about

 

[j4yj4m]

Think that sounds about right, DC knows tech update isn't finishing anytime soon so the +12 is essentially early damage control I guess lol.

To me that's basically what's happening since about 6 months. After all we were supposed to get 5-8 scenes and they already added the 2nd and 3rd batch because the posing was so slow. It's just really bad optics, given that it's really not about the art as usual. I do really understand that DC's output has limits and that his dev team should be tailored to his output in the normal day to day work, but I struggle to get why the same should be true for this special occasion. They really should have hired the help they needed before they started the tech update.

i wonder if it would be better if he would just work on rhonda instead of more pre tech updates. if he's done with the rhonda art he could just move on to annie. yeah it would suck to wait for so long but i'd rather wait and then get two updates i actually care about (rhonda and annie) in a quick succession than 3 more updates with just scenes of girls i don't care about

I'd say a mix of both would be good. There are indeed some girls which have no place in any other update and now is a good chance to add scenes for them, like Ivy, Veronica, Kassy, Lily, the mafia girls, Sara/Terry, maybe the monster girls, etc.
I honestly don't want any more polls unless they only include girls who really need scenes. But for example Maria, Jenny, Debbie, Diane, Eve, any other main story girl, etc. don't need any more scenes until Ronda's, Annie's and Judith's updates are finished.

Won't matter if he finishes R(h)onda's, Annie's and Judith's art next week if the posers/coder lag 3 years behind. That's the 1 and only chokepoint : the rest of the crew takes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long to catch up to DC's art making speed

do the mafia girls really need scenes though? was anyone here asking for that? i know dc once said every girl you met in the game should ideally have h-scenes and get pregnant but at this point there are so many. i'd trade the three mafia girls for one new miss or becca scene or even a new scene with any of the teachers. i'd trade the complete batch 3 for a new grace scene (but that's just me)

Not f4yj4m, but did DC really said every girl you met should have a h-scene? There a quite a number of girls who doesnt have right?
And to your earlier point. I would like to have a poll maybe just to see what the Patreons think if they, for example, when it estimated takes longer then 6 month for the tech update to drop, will just start coding the R(h)onda update and just take way longer for the Tech one. I'll like to see what the general thinks about this looong delay.
