One of my first games can't believe it's still alive.

Thanks for the update.

I can't wait for my grandchildren to play the near-complete version of this game when it comes out in 40 years.

Most people that complains are the majority that are getting a free game and has no idea about game development, I do not like the wait either but I understand why they wanted to do the tech update. The game was already getting slow and bloated, partly by the limitation of the engine. They wanted to make the pregnancy consistent with existing poses and reduce the amount of storage\memory required for the game by efficiently implementing the animations and poses. This required a lot of recoding and posing, so they figured they should rebuild from sketch and start with a new engine while they are at it. They already have made the game so how hard can it be, in the end really hard! They misjudged the amount of work, coding and posing seems to be tedious work when you already have a lot of content that you want to recreate. 99% of the art is already done, but the posing and coding is the backbone of the game and could become a buggy mess when done wrong. I am impressed what they have achieved, to bad it took years to get to this state. In the long run, it will benefit the game and future content. As a fan and freeloader, I'm glad that they sticked with it and not abandoned the game a few months ago. Don't mind of you agree or not, an opinion is just an opinion and everyone has one.

70k a month.

Nah dude, it's a point and click game with a budget of almost 70k that's been working for 3 years on updating already existing content. This is not just a development issue, it's either a DC is dog shit at managing projects issue or a scamming issue at this point and him releasing the teachers stories update with 3+ years of development times under his belt for this tech update at this point and leaving one of 4 teachers content out has put me firmly in camp 2.

I've been following this game since 2017 and was a patron for literally years, this shit is just ridiculous.

But hey let's make a bet - hold on to this comment, cause I mean it. Once the tech update is finished, if DC starts putting out new content on a 6 months cadence now that everything's been "cleaned up" I'll cashapp you 50 bucks. If it takes longer than that, you do the same. We got a bet?

I think you forgot the most important part of the budget, which is he makes 70K+ a month on patreon. He makes more money than physicians I know and does who knows what with it. I know for certain most of the money is not going back into the game

This has to be the oldest one that's still around, right? I can't really think of anything else.

hiroyto · 2024-08-01T02:14:39+0100

holy crap, 2 months only to re-add that?

Ataman87 · 2024-08-01T02:14:48+0100

Well i have proven wrong at least he managed to shit out some kind of update. Well its not all teachers but hey at least it something .

wangfireyolo · 2024-08-01T02:17:34+0100

Hot dang, first a Waifu Academy update, now a Summertime Saga one. If one for Milfy City pops up, I might just go and buy a lottery ticket.

The team exist out of three people (art\code\story), somehow they did managed to get some help for posing. Just check the credits of the game, main problem is that most developers don't want to work on a porn game unless it is anonymous and well paid. End of the day this is a passion project with backers of fans, so keep your expectations a bit lower than an average indie game on steam. I'm not gonna bet on the goodwill of others, but I can see their commitment to the game. Most of the art has been updated by DC in the meanwhile, but the coding is going slow and steady. Its a choice, I admit. But with reasons, for sure.

you noobs are so funny. we've seen a thousand noobs exactly like you saying the same exact misguided things. like you can flip back 6 years and find someone exactly like you being just as clueless. -you wanna know what happened to those earlier noobs? they're the people you're now calling ignorant for having lived and experienced 6 years of getting repeatedly shafted with 'remakes' of old scenes and tech updates that were promised to fix the delays for good, but which only made updates slower. they wised up and stopped believing empty promises.

(Highly) Unpopular opinion here, I kind of respect the creator's courage to rebuild the whole game from the ground up.

Now I know you perverts are all impatient and disappointed about the lack of new content for the last few years, but as a programmer, I know how incredible of a task that might be. For all I know, the state of the game programming was a complete spaghetti mess and adding anything would be a journey to redo the game over again a hundred times to ensure nothing had been broken. Let's not forget that this is a sandbox game. In contrary of other linear path games where you just need to add a chapter when you want to add content with little effect on the previous chapters, this sort of open game can become a nightmare when everything is connected to everything, especially if it's badly programmed.

I just believe we should give some more kodu to those guys. As far as 'I' am concerned, this kind of software decision is a great commitment over their intention to work on additional content on long term.

it's "alive" in the same sense that zombies are "alive"
