The developer never comes here to communicate; asking serves no purpose except to spam the thread (or to be "edgy" or "cute" or farming likes -- the old "hey mom, come look, I posted the milking meme again, ain't I a stinker?"). He is posting monthly reports that get copied and pasted to this thread. If people TRULY want to know "WTF going on" - then people need to go to the discord and ask (and probably get the same answer "read the monthly reports") or go to the regular Picarto streams most weekdays around 2pm Eastern US time and ask (and probably get the same answer "read the monthly reports"). No one on this 'pirate' site is a member of the development team - no one here is paid by or volunteer for the team.
"When update?" questions here have no answers and have no use here because the only response that can be given is "when it's ready." I personally believe it won't be any earlier than April 2024 and could be much later than that.
The development team has stated they are working on the tech update and it will be released when they think it's ready to be released. They stopped doing the pre-tech updates while everyone was waiting - which I personally believe they did because of 2 reasons:
- Working on the pre-tech updates took time away from work on the tech update, as well as added more work for the tech update because they had to code and make the art for both the old code and display ratio, as well as the new.
- People bitched about the pre-tech updates, anyway. Why add the extra work load only to get bitched at?
So, again - the discussion is moot here because no one here has any answers to give anyone. And, again, it is
against F95 rules to continue "excessive discussion about development."
