Do you known how many of them are pissing off before to now?

Do you? No. However many are pissed off, they have every ability to stop subscribing. But many aren't, are they? It's not like DC gets 30k new subscribers each month - the vast majority remain with him month after month after month after month. It's their money, it's their choice, and they appear fine enough with it to remain subscribers. They don't need to subscribe to get access to the game. The game is available for free for all. They subscribe for completely other reasons. Their own reasons. But it's you that can't comprehend that, obviously.

Yet, here you and others are in a discussion forum where you can download the game for free ... a game that is also made available for free directly by the developer on their own website... whining and bitching and complaining day in and day out about how it's not fair, about how people are being scammed, about milking, about so many other things that have nothing to do with you, nothing to do with having access to and playing the game that is available right now, nothing to do with actually anything except that you can get more content that you want "now daddy." It's all a bunch of supposed adults of acting like Veruca Salt.

Wait they put it back up to 74% now, still with "0 changes in last 24h" gotta fucking love it :KEK:

You checked 2 or more times in the same day? Anyway, it was probably an update in the number of tasks that flipped it back and forth.

For example, on

- 640 tasks:

At this moment - 658 tasks:
1701063629960.png

While percentage is one thing to consider, the number of tasks is important as well.
It appears that Posing has increased by 18 tasks in the previous 5 days, but that 3 of their previously completed tasks had issues and they had to roll them off and back into the workflow. At the same time, Writing has ticked off 6 tasks as complete and Code has done the same with 2 tasks.
As a result - the total number of tasks increased, but so did the total number of them completed. The task count will continue to be modified as they progress in this development because when people work on things, other things which are affected are revealed - whether as needing to be added for attention or "oh, doing this solved that - we don't need to do that now."

Is it taking very long? Yup. Is it worth it? Dunno. Is it important enough to the development team? Seems like it. Will we ever know? Time will tell. Should we fixate on it? Probably not.

Tech update seems bigger than GTA 6

Seeing as more people have downloaded STS than have played six of the seven current GTA titles (and perhaps, even more than GTA V)... perhaps.*
*Note, the "perhaps" is a tongue-in-cheek reply for those who think I'm being serious about the comparison between STS and GTA 6. That said, it is true that STS has had more downloads than any single GTA title had units sold, except for maybe GTA V (maybe). From

, there have been over 70 million downloads of STS (66 million of those downloads from android users). 30 million of those downloads since the start of the tech update. Again, that's just from one site.

He's not doing it himself. He has a coder hired. He also has art posers, writer and a few other staff. His coding back in the beginning of development and hiring various people with various ways of coding over the years is the reason why the code is FUBAR now and needed fixed.

Either they are useless or they are deliberately slowing down work until the DC and co. need more subs. I've had enough experience with coding to know that coders and programmers do overplay the complexity of coding at times to milk people. So far as I can tell, DC has been consistent with his steams on Picarto, meaning that he is still active and should have made sure that other people have the ball rolling in their court but nada, just radio silence. Reminds me of the problems that Spooky Milk Life has, too much art and too inept or lazy programmers to keep pace with the art.

So I have said this before. Getting total Simbro vibes from this game
As a refresher. Simbro was this cool little flash game with a simple design and decent story.
The dev dies in a car accident and someone tried to string people along for months. Ironically it still has more paid subs than some active games on this site.

We are at a year out+ and nothing to show for it. This game would have to end up being better than biggest game release ever to make up for the pent up frustration of the cucks.. I mean subs to this game.

Such a sad end to a good game

Fucking hell, I am way behind the news on this one. Simbro was good game, long overdue RIP to the dev.

Maybe you should share your stated knowledge and suspicions with DC in the next Picarto stream for his consideration.

If it's malicious intent of the coder, then there's little we can do about it. Only peeps on his Discord or something can get close enough to call it out, I suppose.

And frankly, I don't intent to get involved. Besides, if DC and co. Actually cared they would have released the content sooner or at least give the minor tech fixes with a few scenes along the way to keep people occupied while they work on the main update.
