Dude, don't generalize the population based upon your desires. You don't have the data to back up your claim.

There is a lot of discussion on many threads on this site about the necessity for a story-driven experience in these games and VN. Otherwise, why have a game or VN - just go to pornhub or the like. This is about creating an experience and part of that experience is the writing,: conflict, crisis, resolution. Is everyone here for story? No. But 90% aren't here just to jerk off.
For example I think you are a jerk if you tell me you play this game as if it were a simple story because honestly you should read a good book. But unlike you I don't judge a person who only masturbates because 1 you are a fucking nobody 2 who said there is a way to play it. having said that I hope the next update is intellectually suited to you. Peace

Ah is this what you tell yourself? Do you tell yourself that you are "having an experience" when you play? As well as the story is written the characters etc it remains a porn game. I don't criticize your opinion of playing do whatever you want but don't elevate yourself to those who just want to masturbate.
You are the one who decided to criticize someone first who was making a comment that they understood where the other person was coming from and that they had a different view. You decided you should make a value judgment, so don't expect someone to call you out for it, in return.

I did a quick search but couldn't find anything this ...

Has there been any explanation as to why the tech update is taking so long? Based on the speed of the developers I work with, it seems like they have one person working a couple hours a day on the coding. I see there was a three week delay over a year ago due to posing, but other than that I haven't seen any explanation. Anyone have any insight?

is it dumber one who writes a comment or one who replies even if it had nothing to do with him?

You are misunderstanding judgment, my friend. My only critique on your judgment of someone else was that you are placing your own values and experiences upon what you expect from others.

Yes, there has ... it is the conversion of all the art to 16:9 (which is done) and then the repositioning/posing of every one of the characters in the new format, as well as updating all the code that was written by several different coders into one style with proper tagging, flagging, variable tracking, etc. Essentially everything that had been done for 4 years prior to the start of the update was getting an update, techwise.

Dude don't talk like this is a literature forum, 90% of the people who are here are here to jerk off. Don't be surprised next time
It's so interesting that your in-depth investigation has shown that 90% (that is a huge number BTW), would rather grind their way through a game with no regard for the story than just download some porn (you've heard of porn right? Whether you are into living actors in full motion film,Hentai or Doujinshi comics, it's everywhere and most of it can be got for free).

... Wait a minute you're not one of these half-wits who think they are "normal" are you... that anything you do is mirrored by everyone else (with the exception of the freaks of course)?
Please tell me you're not, show me the studies you've performed, show me the data you've collected!

maybe it won't be 90% maybe not 80% but surely 70% just masturbate and whoever says otherwise unfortunately is making fun of themselves but honestly I don't care my comment was just to say that you play it as you want well i shut up not like your colleague. peace

Was there not a new coder hired a couple years back to clean up the code already?

There are a few others that know better than I, but yeah - it looks like they hired one in early/mid 2020. That was almost 4 years after the start of development. There was at least 3, if not 4, regular updates since that hiring. The tech update ramped up after v0.20.9 a year ago.

There has been 3 updates in the past year that has split the time of the coder from doing the update on the main code while separately churning out code for continuing on the old stuff to keep the the players doing something in the meantime. At the same time, the posers are also having to do double duty.

So, every time we see a new pre-tech update, we are seeing work in coding and posing that is taking away progress on the full tech update. But those appear necessary to mollify the masses.

There are definitely people who just want to look at the pictures (I've done that myself on a few games).
Pulling percentages out your ass to put someone else down is just stupid. If you want to to disagree with someone why not try disagreeing as an individual rather than speaking for the unknowable masses.

just a thought.

PS: "what a clown"... cute!.... educate yourself bud, then maybe your words will have some weight.

I mean, if there was no porn in this game I wouldn't play it at all and I think this goes for the large majority of people. It's not like the game has particularly good writing, story or gameplay on its own. The porn aspect of Summertime Saga is it's main drawing point yet I enjoy playing the game and have a better experience playing an "in-depth" adult game than watching some porn.

I'd say that's something almost everybody will agree on.
Then again, there's whole range of games and while some literally throw some kind of lew content/sex at the player every second action, others do it differently. Neither is right/wrong or good/bad. Ultimately it's a all about the package and at least to me SS manages to create great nice atmosphere which most other games - especially 3D ones - can't reach. I mean, it's nothing new that SS "lacks" sex scenes compared to many other games. It's been like that from the start and it'll probably stay like that till the end.

Most people won't be playing just one game, so having some variety is actually not a bad thing.

Well, that did pretty much happen. The relaeses became a lot better in the meantime and saves started working years ago. It just seems like they realized pretty quickly that polishing the old turd wasn't enough and now it looks like it's bascially going to be a "new game".
