gotta be pretty hard to keep coders considering how much they can earn, gotta be someone that has a passion for the project?
Also take into account that a lot of potential employers will be less than happy to hire someone who worked on a porn game in the past.

Although I work for a casual game dev and I had a colleague who worked on some adult stuff in the past and she was hired no problem. And of course half of our 2D artists are drawing furry porn as a side hustle, lol

So with the dust apparently settled here's where it stands compare to this post here for per split/ properly weighted task or whatever they want to call it.

All stuff DC has worked on on stream and so these are most likely just touch ups.

These are the new intro cutscenes DC was working on shouldn't take to long. No clue about the Tbds most likely reserved incase they add anything else.

I'm not 100% sure but based on the new task being both the new intro cutscenes and buttons from posing task already present my best guess is these are all that was left of the routes which is why only they were split off. Instead of fully breaking down the larger repose <Names> route task, this tracks with Toxic saying they have a lot of stuff at 90+% but have to wait on DC and Stray to do code and art fixes before closing them out.

For code they added the cutscenes and buttons for the new locations and I again have to say Stray's really going to town on the mini games he's been clearing one almost every 2-3 days.
Cheers, mate. For clarification, do we know what "Dynamic Shot" and "Buttons" are referring to? My guess is that Dynamic Shot refers to a sex scene and Buttons are the clickable character portraits in a background. Both of those seem like fairly easy tasks to finish, at least from a posing standpoint.

The dynamic shots are the cutscenes think the intro at the funeral or meeting Nadya and you're spot on for the buttons.

I would give this ON HOLD status instead of ABANDONED.
Several people have signaled the need for a new INLIMBO state to be added to COMPLETED, ABANDONED & ONHOLD. SS is the poster child for this state but there were other famous projects that would've qualified (e.g. Milfy City).

DC sold the Tech Update as something that will take (quote is him on 03-Dec-2020): "(3 to 4 months) to complete".

On 14-Feb-2021 DC alleged for the first time that work on the Tech Update has already started. Let's round up in his favor to 01-Mar-2021. Let's take, again in his favor, his worst-case estimation so the deadline would've been 01-Jul-2021.

Today we're a staggering 2 years, 4 months and 26 days past 01-Jul-2021 and not only was the Tech Update not delivered but DC doesn't even have a release date for this vaporware.

Since 2+ years is not enough, how many more years does this guy need to fail before his project is flagged as problematic on F95?

We need that INLIMBO tag and it needs to be slapped on projects that fail to deliver on quantifiable promises by, let's be generous and say, over 100%. So SS should've been flagged as INLIMBO sometime around 01-Oct-2021. And INLIMBO needs to stick until promises are either delivered on, explicitly replaced with something else that's quantifiable or, more often than not, the project becomes ABANDONED. Making INLIMBO sticky is important to mitigate devs who try to game F95's rules (e.g. ICSTOR simulated activity on Patreon until his project was eventually slapped with ABANDONED and DC does his own Weekend at Bernie's on Patreon, Picarto and pushing out side releases that have nothing to do with OG promises).

In case anyone is waiting for it, I assure you these people will NEVER just stand up and say "I'm incompetent" or "I'm a scammer" and that NEVER turns into NEVER EVER when there are literal millions of $ to be gained from just putting on a busy show.

5 months, if someone reports the thread after 30 April 2024. That's when this thread is eligible for the abandoned tag (seems I read this before...). Set your calender reminder and be the first to click that report button on OP.

Also, the games forum is not the forum to recommend or suggest new tags. That's what Features Request is for.
Hey guys.

Does anyone have news about a new version of Summer Time Saga?
Yeah, skim the last few pages to catch up.

TL;DR - It's gonna be a long time before that happens.

As one would have troubles finding a single positive comment in this topic on the last ~100 pages, I'm really wondering why people think any tag would make a difference, given these circumstances.

All an abandoned tag is realistically going to achieve anytime soon is to change the most asked question from "update when?" to "is it really abandoned?".
Those who compain about the missing tag now, will find something new to complain about and everybody else will mind their own business until there's an actual update...

Can someone who patronize DC share with us his last post on Patreon please?... I think it's related to the progress and tracker bar.
