Well, in that case there's no right way. The streams are an essential part of what DC offers and many people follow them. That again means that he at least tries to find a balance between really boring stuff (like drawing poses for 2 hours) and things which are somwhat entertaining. So there'll always be something done which maybe won't fit 100% right now, but that's fun to watch. I mean, if DC would want to optimize everything to the last possible degree, he'd probably have to stop streaming all together. In the end it's again a compromise between those who really follow those streams on one hand and those who really just want to play the game on the other.
I think the stream is a big reason why DC has been able to maintain the high levels of Patreon donations despite having a rather ponderous release speed. Obviously the art and game is great, but the stream lets people interact with DC, and I don't know of other games that have that level of connection to the creators.

I'll never get geeks who vocalize this stuff. Just unpledge and move on. Plenty of h-games to play/give money to.
Managing a project this size (excluding the legal/financial side) is on the same intellectual level as putting on your underwear before your pants and after you take a shower. There's nothing "geek" about it. People have been telling this for years and he still refuses to learn anything at all.

The argument still doesn't get better. The essential part of the game is DC's art and you certainly wouldn't want your favorite singer to hire another, slightly different singer just so that he can release 40 instead of 20 songs per year. If DC doesn't want to compromise on his vision of the game/way of working and refuses to work with any artist who doesn't 100% fit his liking, it's really his right to do so. People/Patreons may criticize that but they certainly have no right to actually demand those changes. If there's too much money, all that will happen is that people unpledge until the amont of money is fitting again. That's how it works.

DC has made up his mind about poject development/size, just in a different way some people would like to see.

It's not that serious...
But yeah, I'm pretty sure Boyk is just trying to make the point that some people are mad like them. It's a point made a million times but I valid point.
Of course the answer is to stop playing the game but...
I think he is just trolling because early he was trying to DC an artist

DC does not exactly Tell when the new versions gonna drop at their last percentages right? Somebody with a good Connection to him should try to ask him that in a sneaky way^^

Yeah I don't get it either. Instead of bitching with words you got to vote with your wallet, but I wager some of them are hypocrites in that way that they clearly want to be able to post shit there instead of neing smart and just unpledge, but can't stir up shit if you can't post, can you?
Think of this as similar to review bombing. People are trying to convince other people to impose an economic strike on DC until he speeds up production. It's supposed to show public support of disdain for how much the game is going slow.

The problem is that you have the choice of other games, it's highly ineffective (in this circumstance) and only does more to antagonize the people you're trying to pull into supporting your position.

Now look, I'm a free supporter. But I've heard this stuff and understand the struggle of devs in this space and don't try to misunderstand their positions. I understand the frustration with DC and personally, I've missed the last update since I'm choosing to save it for this next one coming up.

I get it. I just don't agree that this tactic is good since the negatives outweigh the positives as it stands.

If people are so upset by the longer update times, the way to communicate that is definitely not commenting on his patreon, which you pay him for. "Im mad at you, so I pay you my money each month to tell you how mad i am".

If you are so mad about it, drop your patronship and become a lowly pirate like the rest of us ;)

Question?
The cat you adopt in the game [pussy-willow]. Are you planning something like cow-girl and mermaid, in "witch" you have to do some bizarre ritual/experiment to transform the cat into a cat-girl?
Something new for Halloween ; )

PS. Some people prefer dogs instead of cats too .

"Oh no, I've realized I'm not actually part of the project or DC's team and thus have zero authority and was wrong. I know, I'll stick it to him by meaninglessly posting complaints to a thread where people play the free game for free"

Have fun with that.

Damn this logic:

So i need to be part of the republican party to criticize Trump ?
I need to be part of FC Barcelona to criticize Messi ?
I need to be part of Microsoft to criticize Bill Gates ?

Makes perfect sense...

New x-ray sex

- generally I like the new artwork, Roxxy, Debbie etc.
- anyone else prefer the old X-ray scenes to the new ones? The new ones seem to have some weird angles and lack the detail of the old ones.

Every release it's the same backlash, just wait and enjoy the release and have a good fap. And also this is a pirating website, people here don't give a fuck. I sure as hell don't LOL.
I agree but the supporters themselves are complaining, rightfully so too. It's kind of silly to make so much but the quality of work isn't matching up. The quality of the material itself of course is amazing and imo the best out there but idk to me seems lacking in work. I'm not complaining but I understand their frustration as I once was a patron too and I can also understand not wanting to just end their subscription, they wanna support a game they like a lot but feel play-penned in with the updates they're receiving.

No to all of the above. But you would have to be in the republican party if you wanted to start searching for a new religious wacko vice president for Trumpster, you would have to be in the FC Barca organization to start looking for another forward for Messi to play with, and you would probably have to be with Microsoft to start looking for another CEO for Bill Gates to share responsibilities with.

Criticize DC and the team all you like, plenty of people do. But if you go around asking artists whether they'd work for DC when you're not connected to the team or the game in any way, you just come out looking powerfully stupid.
