Can we expect the update today or do we have to be patient? Did anyone say something about that?

well, based on previous update I think that probably we have to wait next week, probably wednesday or thursday

I just want to say welcome to the most recent batch of backseat developers, the people shocked and appaled that the incest was taken out, the budget-vs.-time crunchers, and the Patreon-alternative seekers. I know patch release season is when you plop out of your hidey-holes and you feel the need to spread your wings and provide what you surely think is an advice-starving thread with your immense wisdom.

I just want to say, very succinctly, before you post:
We Have Heard It Before.

Please fucking calm down.

Feel free to quote and repost this message if you feel like it.

If I where to make a very basic but in my opinion an important addition, a scene that hints at supernatural elements within the game would be a good addition to the intro. It means the more fantastical elements like Aqua the mermaid won't look as if they come out of the blue or clash with the rest of the story if the town is suppose to have an underlying supernatural element.

considering that most likely the principal is the head of that order and she has kind of an egyptian queen/slave relationship fetish I don't think it's something supernatural there...
as of now Aqua was added on demand from what I can recollect...which actually fucked up the realistic story as you put it...
Somewehere I read about a poll for a female Alien...but I thought it was fake news to fuck with us.

I complained about the inexplicable and tonally inconsistent inclusion of a supernatural being into what is essentially a slice-of-life suburbia story, but I was met with a lot of criticism back then.

GOD i hope DC makes wife of that fisherman fuckable. Who does not wanna cuck trashy white fisherman?

As opposed to a black fisherman, wut?

Well,last time i was here we discussed a lot about points of view about development,when we finnaly got in a nice conversation about the update content i suddenly got my alerts cut off,to make things worse my brother dropped water on my pc and i'm still trying to put the darnned thing to work again when i finnaly returned to the thread,none of the people i was talking before is here(with few exceptions,like Ted),so by now i'm just watching the thread,and hoping to get this shit fixed in time for the next update...

Don't engage, just don't.

@Alcesto You should not quote without context. It's not a management issue, it's just that the output of one person can't match the input of others.

To be faster, we need more art, and the art has to be done in a timely fashion. DC can't hire an artist that would take 10 times the time it takes him to do the same task, because he'd then need 10 more artists to just double the art production.

Speed and fidelity are hard to find.

until they find platform other than patreon. For now patreon banning incest content so we all have bear it

True, but since "lewdpatcher.com" is off site, and they don't have to take credit for posting the patch, I don't see how this would be able to hurt them.

Since Patreon is like the only reliable funding site, I doubt they'd take that big risk and make an "off patreon" patch to restore the incest for a game they have on Patreon. Plus there are mods that restore the incest though...

I would say the same thing to you that I said to ovan26, "since "lewdpatcher.com" is off site, and they don't have to take credit for posting the patch, I don't see how this would be able to hurt them." The current mod is far from perfect, but most definitely better than nothing at all. I just want to see the original vision for this game come to fruition. That why I asked. I'm not sure how to publicly ask Dogeek my question directly, on this thread, without having replied to one of his comments.

Yes. Whenever it's done.

That sounds like it's going to be a complete nightmare to implement.......all the old source material is going to be irrelevant, because the game is constantly changing/evolving. DC's writer is going to have to pretty much start from scratch to get it done. That's probably going to take some time. Thank you for the heads up.

 

[dE_VoYd]

Guys chill out. Just some more days.
I'll say till next sunday we'll get the updates.
Untill then you guys must have bookmarked some useful educational video sites, no ?? Then this is the time to use'em...unless you are one like me who have already used them twice or thrice XD XD

 

[Adam_Linkhem]

Will a mod be capable of rewriting the incest back in when they add new family content with the Diane update?

I'm sure someone will update it to work with it.

 

[muttdoggy]

Well the art is done now, the game isn't out yet, and you're the primary coder.

Get back to work Code monkey.

Lemme ask you something.
Are you standing behind Dogeek? Do you have verifiable knowledge of what Dogeek is doing right now?
Just as I thought! You don't know that!
Here's my advice - Follow Rule #1. Respect other members!!

 

[seraphimd2]

I would try to evade messing with the coder,its almost like messing with the white mage...

 

[seraphimd2]

Hey guys lets chill,the release will occur when the update is ready,offending each other and shit slinging will not make things faster,just messier...

 

[j4yj4m]

DC just said that all that's missing are some last animations and some final tests and that he hopes to get them soon and to get the release out by the end of the week.

 

[j4yj4m]

I'm pretty sure real NTR/cucking won't happen while 2 and 3 are likely too much work to be done and implemented while making sense (at least to the degree you describe it).

I mean there's of course a chance for some more nice poker games in Erics house etc. which would come somewhat close.

 

[VermillioN]

This thread is fun to watch before updates, always the same complaint but their staff are here to be bothered now:test:

 

[TheDevian]

I just want to say thanks to the devs. Take your time, and do what you need to do to keep up the quality production you are known for. Far more of us appreciate it than not. I would rather wait for quality, then get rushed work.

 

[Deleted member 426398]

All the fan art I see is people just taking the existing art assets and copy pasting them - that's not creating anything.

I swear there was at least one person doing good originals. Still, there is a plethora of talent out there that could be saving the guy a ton of time.

 

[ovan26]

when you recieve product for free and complaint about it #logic

 

[j4yj4m]

I swear there was at least one person doing good originals. Still, there is a plethora of talent out there that could be saving the guy a ton of time.

I think it's important to realize that it's still not just "some commercial project" but a handdrawn game made by DC. So in the end it's really up to DC to decide how much of the art he wants to give away and I can really understand that he wants to keep those things that are related to characters, creativity etc. to himself as long as he isn't 100% sure that somebody can do them excatly as good.

Yes, there's some speed to gain but there's a lot to lose by hiring more artists. Right now he's got someone who will do the new animations and he's hired a background artists who'll maybe get promoted at some point. I guess that's all we can demand in this case.

At least I'm happy to wait quite a bit longer if the game remains as good as it is. As soon as that's even remotely in question or as soon as the style changes it's very likely not worth it.
