If he had, this tech update would be finished by now, and we could move on to asking "R(h)onda when?"
Obviously not, because the art still isn't done. There are still 2 to 3 locations, as well as some some art for the second batch of scenes missing - and probably many other smaller details like backgrounds for existing scenes or stuff that class picture we saw a few days back. Reading your post I'm not sure you know that you adapt the aspect ratio by expanding/drawing every single background/cutscene/etc. by hand and not by having someone change some code...
Instead, he's dragging ass like a dog across carpet, same as always. And the excuse of "DC is the only artist bla bla bla" doesn't cut it,
Of course it does, because DC just wrote himself here a couple of pages back that he will move on to Ronda as soon as the tech update art is done. So no, nothing would really be faster with 6 more posers and 4 more coders overall, you'd just get the tech update faster to then wait longer for the Ronda stuff... it's the same as always.
As for me, I actually want to see the game finished, polished, and delivered instead of being the porn equivalent of Duke Nuke'em Forever and considered played out by the time it's finally done, or worse never gets finished at all, and is simply abandoned.
I don't really believe that you care for the game that much if you don't even bother to inform yourself about basic details?
Next to that, do you really believe that DC's next game would be way less popular, when there are so few other good (mobile) 2D games on the market and when he has such a huge fanbase by now? As long as he's working, he'll make money, that's pretty clear by now. You don't have to like that, but this constant complaining and vicitm playing really doens't help anybody.

Edit: What I'm really saying is that there's no need to get worked up about the same thing again and again...

Its a really good game, its sad that it isnt done yet. But the content of the game isnt slow or anything. There is much to do.
but well 2016 until now 2021 there could be more done, that is right. But well I think its nothing to complain. I Think most of the people would do the same to make some money of their own fruit of work. If you look at any Patreons, many do the same but also delivering Promises , taking breaks with honest approach and many more like this.

In the End if you dont like to help the dev. You can stop to help him if you dont like his long working time on a new update. Thats being said. Everyone can change their mind. And stopping the support of the dev.

So I dont know, I can also understand the bitching of consumers but there are always two sides that should be considered.

I playing this now to the end of each character , when Iam done I will wait for two more years or so And then maybe the work was big enough to make another good approach to have fun with the new content. There are so many games here to play. So you can waste alot of time on them too.

So in the End complaining about every dev who is taking his time in making their games is just time waste. Thats a lesson I learned late like others here. But its kind of a Truth.

So everyone have fun in SS and other many games here at f95 Iam thankfully to have many great devs that doing games. And Iam also thankfully to every Member that supports the dev with money. Its a give and take. So I wont complain about this balance.

Just pointing out about the bolded word : you're not a consumer on Patreon. You pay to help dev(s) make their stuff and/or tip them as a thank you for what they do. You're not buying anything and you're not entitled anything (aside the tier rewards or other forum/Discord bonus, which is 99%+ never a physical item you get mailed to you). Patreon is a donation-based site whose main purpose is to do the above, it's not Kickstarter where you pay now and have the game made for you in X time and you'll get a copy when it's done

To be fair, there are different stages which lead to different levels of responsibility for a dev. Some devs literally "sell" their product by not providing a free version at all (which I'd personally never support, sadly quite a few do it), then there are some who just take a very long time for a free release and lastly others, like DC here, basically give the game away for free right away.

You are of course right in the third case and when it comes to this game - simply because it's free and much closer to some kind of donation. But when we are talking about some other games (like BaDIK for example where you have to pay $10 once) I'd say that people actually "buy" it on patreon in all but name, with all the consequences for the dev.

Is this last version bugged or something and thats why the Ipatch is outdated? or it is no longer needed?
Version isn't bugged (presumably the game ?), patch is outdated cause nobody cares to update it since it still works even if the #s don't match and it was never needed to begin with (unless you can't play the game without having 3 lines of dialogue changed to notmom/notsis/notaunt)

The 'tech update' seems to be going on forever! Whatever 'team' DarkCookie has amalgamated, they certainly like to sit back and chill! I could be part of that team, as I am currently chilling to the cool sounds of Jackson Browne.
Except for the part where the claims aren't empty. With all the Patreon $$$ he's raking in DC could have hired 6 more code monkeys, and 4 more posers on a short term contract to adjust everything to the new aspect ratio ect. If he had, this tech update would be finished by now, and we could move on to asking "R(h)onda when?" Instead, he's dragging ass like a dog across carpet, same as always. And the excuse of "DC is the only artist bla bla bla" doesn't cut it, not this time, because this time it's not a story/art focused update, it's a TECH update, which means the bottleneck can't be in the art department.
I got news for ya'll

How do i open the crypt behind the church when there is a full moon?
From the Wiki:
" On a day with a full moon, wait until the night and then enter the graveyard behind the Church.
Interact with the crypt door beneath the tree. Enter the crypt and talk to Odette. "

TY. I tried several nights with a full moon, no reaction. Maybe because I impregnated her?

Yes, getting preg will lock everything out. And by night, it means timeslot 4 (no more blue pips in the bar on top), not evening

Can someone post the new patreon post?
Status update and class photo wallpaper!
Status update:
For those not following the daily live streams and not aware of the development, we're still working on 2 updates in parallel.
The first is our 2nd batch of new sex scenes for 6 characters. The majority of the art is done for them but still waiting on some animations to wrap up and then plug them into the game for a release.
The second is the "Tech Update" which we've been working on for a while and are still very busy with as it touches on every aspect of the game development. It is going well, but still a long way to go it seems. The good news is we're getting close to wrapping up all the background extension to widescreen. I'll be live streaming the remaining backgrounds in the coming 2 weeks! The Posing and Coding of the tech update will require a bit extra dev time due to the amount of work required (no ETA but the progress bar will resume moving forward as we progress).
Wallpaper:
As I've been fixing background to widescreen I've also been improving some of them. The old class photo used discontinued character art from our old game releases, so I updated them all and introduced some new characters as well.
For you high tier Patrons you can get the new wallpapers on our Kompas site.
Check it out here:
For the lower tier Patrons, simply wait a few hours for them to leak (or DM me on Discord) ^-^

As said before, that account simply copies/posts content from DC's official streams. Sadly picarto only saves the last 12 streams, but the one where he made that picture is still online, in case anybody cares about the process.

My post was more in line with : "fake dude posted it 4 days ago and DC made a Patron-only release with the same image today". Nice timing
