You're right, I found his convo and he does indeed admit he isn't good enough and will continue to work on his art. But I'm just saying he has potential. I don't want to shoot him down completely.

Yeah, I'm sure there are quite a few people out there who could copy DC's style sufficiently and that character would certainly be fine with some refinements in the linework, a little modified shading and a new right foot. But in some way that's the point, DC doesn't want to spend the time to correct those things. Two artists simply seems to be a pretty bad compromise, especially if they aren't sitting the in the same room. To me it's either one artist or three to four or more. In those latter cases you can have someone who reviews everything from those who draw and who does the proper artistic coordination, so everything is consistent. But that's probably just a hunch of mine and I'm pretty sure that coordination is exctly the kind of work DC doesn't want to do. I mean, if you set out to create your own game, you probably don't want to end up solely correcting other people working on it.

Yeah I think DC is a hands-on type of person and he doesn't want to direct art, he wants to make it himself. Which is unavoidable since he was the one who provided all the art up until now. But its also a pity, because if he had more artists under his wing, like how cartoon, manga and anime studios work, SS progress would be much more efficient. Its just too bad he literally cannot afford to do that.

It's foolish to give your money to this games, because there is more incentive to not finish the game, they absolutely make more money like this, than they would if the game was done and people just bought it. Because this way it's like people are buying your game again every month.

I will absolutely buy this game when/if it's ever done? But I have no problem with Pirating it now.

As this game is free since day one and DC already said he will never sell it after its done as that would make no sense since its FREE. I wish you good luck in buying this game anywhere while the entire world downloads it for free anyway from DC Website or this one :)

How do you pirate something that's free? All the money DC is getting from donations now is all the money he' ever going to make. Not to mention the sum isnt all that much when you split it 7 ways + tax from patreon. The game will be released completely free once its complete, so there is no pricetag for you to pay to justify anything.

I agree. I remember when he said ages ago in one of his drunk streams that he really wouldn't want to die anytime soon because he's got so many game ideas he wants to try after SS. I'd love to see things progress faster and I'm pretty sure that his next game(s) would be successful, too. But then again, I kind of respect the way he does things and as long as I feel he's doing his work, I'm certainly willing to toss in a buck or so a month as token of appreciation.

I managed to find an artwork they posted of someone's OC illustrated in DC's style. Look at it and tell me me you dont get Summertime Sage vibes immediately xD.

This actually looks like the art of the artist they tried a while back. DC said he liked the guy's work, but DC was doing enough work to "fix" his stuff that it didn't end up being worth it keeping him on.

No. There is plenty of differences with DC art style, but just to point one : the line art is always the same width, which is not the case in DC art. Just stop thinking you have the same eye as an experienced artist like DC, or even an experienced amateur like some of us here.
