Allegedly it will standardise the codebase for quest progression, posing dialogue scenes and monitoring the gamestate, as well as making all the art 16:9 resolution. It's claimed this will make future development and bugtesting easier/faster. This was deemed necessary as the game had been incrementally built up from multiple lead programmers implementing quests/scenes via very different, confusingly-interlinked methods over the years -- re-doing everything so that it all works via the same mechanisms would, in theory, make future work simpler and the code less prone to bugs.
In reality I doubt the pace of updates will be any faster than they were before the tech update. But once you commit to refactoring the game like this, you're pretty much stuck with it. I suspect if you'd told DC ahead of time that the tech update would take this long he never would have bothered rigging the poll results for it to win. Game is stuck in a quagmire as a result.

It was going to happen sometime - even if DC was told it would take the time it has. The only choice was whether it was going to be before Rhonda's update or after it. Now, they might have planned (hahahahahahaha) to handle it differently - but it would have happened, either way.

What if the tech update happened years after the Rhonda update and other girls content,was that ever a chance of happening or DC was set to start the tech update right away?

You've read the comments on this thread by j4yj4am and username7. You already know this answer. The game code was shambles. The images were 4:3 display ratio and DC's biggest (and/or fastest growing) market is the android market which is better suited for 16:9 display ratio.
The poll choice was between:
Rhonda Update
Tech Update
Other Updates
OR
Tech Update
Rhonda Update
Other updates
Waiting years to do a tech update does not appear that it was ever in the cards. The fact that they took time to put out an updated APK for the current content - v0.20.16 - recently of the Android 14+ (because the APK up until the last month was having issues with Android 14+) shows that waiting years would have been detrimental for the game's continuance.
Making the APK compatible for Android 14+ superseded work on the tech update. That's the importance of the mobile gaming market for DC.

Yeah i know,my post was just me coping on a alternative reality where we would be playing new updates in the old version instead of this never ending wait
its literally summertime saga HD remake. zero new content. tbh it should be listed as complete and the tech update under a new game.

To be fair, that "no new content" really only means that there won't be a huge new story. Most backgrounds, locations, etc. will be extended and a lot of assests will be changed/added into existing content and there'll even be some new characters. So you'll probably see something new in basically every part of the game you are looking at. By the end of it, most art asstets will have been reviewed and possibly improved.
I mean, it would just have meant that they'd have to rework even more content for the tech update. As such it made sense to start the tech update as soon as the decision had been made to do it in the first place.Yeah i know,my post was just me coping on a alternative reality where we would be playing new updates in the old version instead of this never ending wait

Well, in the last streams he did rework/create some art for Debbie's, Jenny's and some teacher's story, did content for Aqua and new stuff for the Thotbot. So that's basically what he's doing ever since.
We can see the "updates"
But technically shouldn't this have the abandoned tag?
