Not being a follower on Discord, Are there two different artists working on SS? DC and someone else?
The reason I ask this is because of the different art styles between the main game and the animations.
The main game has 'crisp' lines on the characters, whereas the animations have a much softer almost pastel chalk style. Or is he mixing new with the old?
Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining per se (although I prefer the crisp lines) I'm just curious.

DC outsources animations to someone else but I think he still makes several frames by himself
I think the second style is just better (aka easier) for animations

Hey everyone I'm new here
Just wanted to post this to share my thoughts and opinion about recent stuff:
Before that feel free to criticize, mock or whatever you want to say for this post

First I found out about this game around March and I really enjoyed the story (yeah I enjoy stories in every type of video games) and the mechanics are good so I considered becoming a Patron.

However once I found out that the next update is close I told myself I will wait for release and then I will become a sub on DC's Patreon for the update and future stuff.


Yet we all know the update is being delayed till at least the time of this post.
I'm not complaining or even comparing him and his team to other devs, all I want to say that a delay is good but really long delay kinda kills the support line.

I checked their website and it said they are updating this game every 2 month on average but the last update was last year.

So unless after the upcoming update if we get 2 more within a month, they are not delivering stuff according their schedule which is bad. That's the main reason why video games gets pushed and the results are devastating for both players and devs.



Overall I want to say while the delay is somewhat considered acceptable (if we don't want buggy mess), it's best to remove any post related to updates if a delivery is not guaranteed (I know HYPING is a good Technic for getting supporters but not everyone likes to wait).

On example is that I'm Patron of 2 other developers and they stated that there will be updates according to their schedule (one every week and the other on 1st and 15th day of each month) and they deliver this as their plans.



Anyway I wish best for everyone and hopefully we get the update soon

Stay safe everyone

Animations are done by someone else. But the ART is still drawn by DC. So no two different artists its all DC and the outsource guy.
And what fat wallet are you talking about? Split his patreon money that comes in monthly by 7 and then taxes. You will realize that the so called fat wallet is non existant anymore.

So unless after the upcoming update if we get 2 more within a month, they are not delivering stuff according their schedule which is bad. That's the main reason why video games gets pushed and the results are devastating for both players and devs.
Thats because on the last update the dude responsible for animations left mid work and was never heard of again by DC nor his team. The new guy had to pick up the pieces of the old guy and finished last update and now works on the current one. Yet DC said this solution is not optimal either for him. But i can always advice to go on picarto and ask him in stream if you wanna know stuff.

Also with 3 kids now and working from home i still think he does a great job all together.

It seems like majority of the people on does not know what delay means. The update was never delayed because they never gave a release date when it’s supposed to be out.

Is it true that Darkcookie will only release the game once it is paid on patreon? Because a few weeks ago the game was 99% and is taking a long time to be released and I looked at some previous pages and people are saying that the game will be released next Sunday.

This coming update will be released when the bug testing/fixing phase is complete. The progress tracker has been at 99% for 2 days at most. Those people saying the update will be released next sunday are making a guess, based on whatever information they personally feel is relevant. The only KNOWN TRUE fact about the coming update, is that it will be released when the work on it is complete.

That's not a fact either, mathematically speaking. It will be released most likely, but if that's before or after the work on it is complete is unknown.

But that's just the nerd way to say: nobody knows.
