Nothing really interesting about it -- people who are paying can display their discontent by stopping payments while the ones who aren't paying can only be vocal.

I'm really curious what the direction here is. Is this a refactor (rewriting the "spaghetti code"), update (bigger aspect ratio, redoing the visual content to fit the new aspect ratio, etc.), adding new content and extending already existing content? Or what is going on here?

There are other great games to play and follow while you wait for the content other people are paying for

of course people stop paying when they have complaints, especially after 2 years of no new route

Ok, your reply actually made me realize how my comment came across, not all the facepalms. Just so often on here, the site not this thread, the people not paying and making often unreasonable complaints never paid to begin with.

I can totally understand people withdrawing finical support from something they're not happy with.

And it's not like they have to deal with the pressure of deadlines or quotas like most people. They can work at whatever pace & get paid. What's the incentive to work harder or more efficiently?

bro i'm sure DC and his coders are working their ass off to get the tech update out as soon as possible

actually i'm being sarcastic, just look at his picarto streams where he keeps drawing nonsense that nobody cares about and only if he's not sick again, while he won't even pay his coders to work fulltime. there are days where there are 0 changes to the code base, you can check that for yourself. remember when people kept mentioning DC as a shining example as a patreon dev for being transparent and more or less always delivering on time? well i remember but times have changed bitches.

the game honestly is the star citizen of patreon, the difference being with star citizen at least they are selling you dreams about new technology that has never been done before while with STS it's like they pretend rewriting renpy code is this NASA level crazy ambitious thing like dude come on. just pay your coder to work fulltime and put your focus on finishing the game and not keep adding more meme characters. but that would mean the game would actually get finished eventually and he doesn't want that. the faster people wake up and smell the coffee the better.

How about just don't criticize the slow progress of the game in a forum where no one has any power to do anything about it? No matter how legitimate the criticism is, people get tired of reading it after 3384 pages. Your beef is with DC. If you need to criticize, send it to him.

Well... people come here, saw this game "good", subscribe. If you think this forum doesn't have that "power" then you're wrong. This forum can save people's money

if you criticize DC on his discord you just get banned so this is the only free place for people to vent about the milking. if you don't like it you can make a safe space thread for you and the DC defenders where you can just deny the reality about this game for the next couple years

also it's not like this thread gains quality if the milkposts stop happening because then this thread just consists just of people asking for saves, asking for when mommy get preggo or for where incest patch is over and over again and some autistic guy responding to every post

You get banned on discord and his stream by Sploosh for legitimate reasons.
1. You can't milk a free game. I know this concept is hard for some people to swallow but SS was always free and will stay free forever according to DC! The amount of money he makes is from the tip jar ppl are willing to pay and support his work to have a say on patreon on future stuff etc.

2. Critique can be added on discord, patreon and on his stream. However insults or assumptions will again end in sploosh using his ban hammer over said people as thats not critique.

3. I quit being a mod for DC cause of all this BS in his streams. Why you milking? Why character xyz no update? Why not making exactly what i want and when i want cause i don't give you a single penny and demand my free shit.


You can like or dislike the game all you want. Or add critique about the game. All fine with me.

But stating the dev is milking a game that is literally released for free is beyond ridiculous and as old as this thread itself.

The game does reserve some more praise because also it is being in development since 6 years and we always got our fair share of new stuff. Maybe not as much as some of would demand for the price they pay monthly for it to support the creator but look at others who didn't even survive past the 2-3 year mark.

100 percent correct.

There's really nothing to add here. No real point in venting about the slow pace whatsoever. If you want more content immediately, you'll have to go to another game, because venting about it won't get that content any faster.

in fact, this game has already ended six months ago. the only thing left to do is to add a pregnancy option for the rest of the characters, including mc's mother
