1.) Attempting to discount posts that are contrary to your view, because you likely lack a legitimate or sensible argument to support your view. Notice how I don't bash DC or the project, but simply compareed SS to another game and point out ways to improve content?

2.) You're on F95, the content is free regardless. It honestly doesn't matter whether or not DC is providing the content for free or not. You've got two products making similar amounts with a large disparity in content.

3.) Blindly feeding on content, being passively aggressive to those you don't agree with and refusing to acknowledge any issues or potential ways to improve doesn't help anyone. It just makes you look bad and causes hostile responses plain and simple. That being said we are, again, on F95, thus I don't expect DC to see nor care about responses here. I'm simply pointing out obvious things.

I think the fella is Dc in disguise.

how to make Jenny leaning in the dining room like this ??? View attachment 299417

Seeing as there is no face, this is probably just art that was left in the data until 18.5 was released

No spoilers, but I think I know who Pink Cyclone is.

Maybe you didn't notice, but I was not bashing anyone. If I was, please point me to it.

Instead, I seem to remember that I wished your lucky community all the best. I also mentioned that you did not donate any money to DC, which is a fact and no bashing because you said so. And I pointed out that DC does not charge anything but the Wild Life people do, and what else differences there are. Hard to face those facts?

The rest came from you.

3 weeks for posing and coding. Then they will start 0.18.5 bugtesting while working on 0.19.

So, i'd say:

- don't expect 0.18.5 before the end of June;

- don't expect 0.19 before autumn;

- don't expect 0.20 before Easter 2020.

I wouldn't expect .19 until late November at the earliest. But that's just based on the time I have seen it take between full updates.

I honestly expect it to take about as long as the Roxxy update since there won't be any new features introduced.

I will also add that I am really excited about Eve's story line. Though her content is light so far, her character has always been one of my absolute favorites. Would love to see an anal scene with her.

Will my 17.5 save be compatible with the 18.2 version?

 

[Snugglepuff]

No spoilers, but I think I know who Pink Cyclone is.

It's clearly the principal... The pink hair is purely there to draw attention away from it clearly being her.

Will my 17.5 save be compatible with the 18.2 version?

Nope.

 

[Turdcoloredwood]

Nope.

Aw that sucks, I was just getting deeper into the story. Oh well, thank you.

Hello, have anyone the save file from begin new jenny quest?

 

[gamersglory]

I agree, you're right there isn't a perfect solution. I just think there is a more efficient path forward than his current model. As I said earlier, his dev plan is kinda backwards. He's building the branches of the tree before the trunk.

Updates are taking longer and longer to complete anyway and characters' stories could be completed if there was more structure. He could have finished the main story and still added sex scenes for characters while he finished it. As it is currently, there are some core systems/features that will not only permeate every character (dating, main story, pregnancy) but require tweeks and adjustments along the way. DC is trying to squeeze those systems into every girl's story instead of building around them which can lead to confusion/frustration for players.

They could hire another animator to help things go faster along and maybe another coder to make the updates bigger and get the systems in place. They should have no budget issues as I see devs do more with way less.

Wait its under construction to sneak into the sister's bed at night when she sleeping???? That sucks.

Previous versions you could sneak into bed to touch her!

 

[PatreonTed]

So i'm a hater cuase i'm telling you your god DC is robbing you? Hmm, that's some mighty fine armor. But if i'm this will be as good as fallout 76.

You're a hater because every single post you have made in this thread has been negative towards the game makers and anyone who likes them.

The scene is coming back with 18.5

They already have

The option to break the handcuffs (camsex with Jenny) doesn't show even when I have 10 strength. How to trigger it?

It seems there is two mini paths in the Jenny line, one where you are more dominant. In that one I think I read you can break out of the cuffs.

 

[Vordertur]

Then you're being dishonest about both.

Star Citizen gets millions off a promise of a tech demo while this one has been built and released on what it actually promises. It gives you new story with the characters, the side characters are updated considerably, and with it being 40ish percent done, you really can't say that it's "overly ambitious" when the games own origins is that it was a way for DC to learn how to code.

No, the criticisms aren't the same nor the supposed defenses. That's just not looking at them holistically.

... are you... are you serious?

Star Citizen is often accused of feature creep, of having a design lead who is overly ambitious and who, while being inspired, needs to have someone to rein him in lest he get a little too wild with his plans. Think George Lucas driving the prequels into the ground because he didn't have someone to tell him "No, George, this won't work. Pull it back a little."

There is actual work being produced, just like there is actual work being produced here. Is it at a rate that satisfies the vast majority of people? No. It is not. But it is difficult to argue that all the time and effort (and thus money) is amounting to the sum all of jack squat? It is. Because something IS coming out of both production houses.

The crux of the issue, however, is "Is enough being done to JUSTIFY the vast expenditure being outlaid into both projects?" and that's where people start going back and forth.

Summertime Saga is a very big project, and it continues to grow beyond the scope of what it originally was presented as. More to the point, nobody seems at all interested in reining in the scope of that project but instead, the large number of people involved seem to think that continuing to throw more and more money at it will result in a complete and viable game being produced down the line.

Now here's the thing: I would very much like both things to succeed. But both need to be pulled back a bit. Streamlined. And revised for... let's say "practicality." What goals are actually feasible and can be accomplished in a "reasonable" amount of time? Because working with "indefinitely" as your timetable is - and has been - honking a lot of people off.

That's not a bad idea. I'd say he probably should have another animator and coder on staff with how large the game has gotten. It may make his art the bottleneck but he if he got a good rotation with the teams, he may be able to cut his time between updates in half. I think he'd also see his dev time decrease if he sat down with his current team and reorganized his road map to get the major and important systems in early so they can be tested for bugs and player feedback.
