7 years and this game is only on version .20 with no signs of being anywhere close to being done.
You're probably thinking of DOS days, where 0.20 would have meant that it was 20% complete. Nowadays, it just means that it's the 20th major release. MAME is on version 0.253 and you don't hear people saying "26 years and this emulator is only on version 0.253 with no signs of being anywhere close to being done."

It's not 25.3% done. There have been 253 major releases, and it will never reach 1.0 because they will never run out of new systems to emulate. There have been 20 major releases of SS, and it may never reach 1.0 because there will never stop being new content to add to existing characters, or new characters to add. That's how games work now. Development continues until the developer dies and then, since the game is open source, the community continues development until humans go extinct.

In terms of "only" being on 0.20, there's more content in SS than there is in many games that have a 1.0 version number. As for not being done... actually, it's been done for a while. The main story is complete. Yay, the game is done! But it will never be "done" from the perspective of development ending, because no one wants that. Now that the game is done, someone wants to fuck Ronda. Then someone wants to fuck Ronda's mom. Then Rooting for Roz wants to fuck Ronda's grandma. If DC stops developing it, someone else will. In 2069, SS .253 will have over 200 fuckable women, 1000+ Cookie Jar scenes, be 8K widescreen VR with the optional penis pump extension, and be developed on GitHub, where it will have 100 active developers and over 1000 casual contributors, including DC's grandchildren, and some dickhead will be like, "53 years and it's still only on version .253 with no signs of being anywhere close to being done".

Currently no high resolution version seems available.
This is some Weekend at Bernie's shit. Look look, these wallpapers I keep shoveling must mean your $1.500.000+ surely went to actual work done over the past 2+ years, right? Must mean I'm surely gonna release what you expected to get at the latest more than one year ago, right? So give money because trust me, bro!!!

You know, since he's revamping the designs a bit, I'm surprised he hasn't made Diane and Debbie look less alike.
Why would he do that? After all they are supposed to be sisters...
Next to that, it would mean to redraw every bit of Diana's art that's in the game, which is basically impossible ever since 0.17 was released.

These wallpapers are little more than pre-relased ingame art. They are "actual work", even if some people seem to have trouble understanding that. Those who don't like what DC is doing will surely have stopped giving him money quite some time ago.

I mean, he literally has stated he wants to rework Debbie's art, only that her new sprite isn't going to be used in everything in the tech update.

Well, Debbie's new art is already in the game in quite a few places. Like during the first day or during parts of the main story. Reworking her art basically just means to bring everything to that new standard, but it won't really change her looks or so.

So it's not like with Eve or to some degree Ronda, who did or will change quite a bit more.

It's getting a little ridiculous here.
People who want to can send him or anyone else money and who does not want to is also good. Only why you try here all the time to embarrass people who want to support someone?
Yes the update unfortunately takes a long time but should he just stop now and produce nothing more would you happy?
I think rather no that you do not want that.

I have never though that DC was a bad Dev or something but his coder on the other hand is mediocre at best complete garbage at worst.

You do know that DC was his own coder for a while, and he'll agree with you that he was garbage. It's the reason why he hired the current coder to fix all the mistakes that he and other coders made in the past. And fixing the code is one of the reasons for this tech update. If you have problems with the code - it's not the fault of the current coder, but past transgressions before that person was hired.

It's basically like the shit o'l Yandere Simulator situation (except the dev for that one is a dickhead). At least DC ain't defensive about it and trying to fix the clusterfuck, but this old fuck-up sure is a veeeery timely one, huh? :KEK:

Sorry, but that is not really true. MAME has one of the special versionings out there which is even mentioned in Wikipedia as such. Most of the time a major release is referenced by a change in the first number and a minor release by a change in the second number. And I would argue that most of MAMEs versions are actually not major releases ...
