[elstupidwolf]

3602 pages damn, so i'm not going to read everything.
Can someone explain what happened exactly? Feel like the game didn't move for a very long time now.

The current happening is that people are clogging up the thread with complaints about DC as if that's going to do diddly squat. Which was annoying in the past, but not strictly against the rules. Now, after the update, it is precisely against the rules and no need to think about why the staff have added that to the rules (spoiler: it's because all manner of threads have been shat up with complaints about creators and patreon, which is not the purpose for these threads).

then why are you complaining about the complainers? don't you know that's against the rules?

this goes beyond "i just want to defend a game creator from pervy pirates". you're not white knighting any other game developer only DC.

what is so wrong with us criticizing DC's actions? so what if we're not patreons? are you not allowed to have opinions without having money invested?

Correction: I'm not white knighting anyone. And fuck, how many times do I have to admit - I'm a fucking pervy freeloader too. It's like you only read what you want to read and interpret wrong meanings into what you do read.

I NEVER PAID A PENNY FOR ANYTHING HERE. I NEVER SUBCRIBED TO ANYTHING.

Does that fucking help you? Also, almost none of us are pirates. We're freeloaders. Almost no one cracks code or takes code directly from the developer or distributor without permission. Even the content we download from links here are either free from the developer (like Summertime Saga is - no one is pirating it) or paid for it/subscribe to the developer and then share what they get for that compensation here.

Also, I'm a regular in several other game threads and respond similarly to similar frequent complaints.

Spoiler: Hiding the wall, as I normally due - but didn't for a few

then why are you complaining about the complainers? don't you know that's against the rules?

That's gaslighting. If there weren't the initial complainers - the follow up replies wouldn't exist. Ergo, stop breaking the rules to begin with, and everything gets a lot quieter. That whataboutism doesn't float.

This thread is getting better and better, no update but at least the banter is good.

Well, if people would stop spamming the thread with their trollish comments and then clogging it by getting argumentative about their trollish behavior - it'd be a lot easier to find.

You're allowed to criticize DC, the way this tech-update has been handled is terrible and deserves all the criticism it gets, there's no way around the situation.

The problem is that many people put on their conspiracy hat and spout misinformation about DC and the game. If you want to speculate that behind the scenes DC is deliberately delaying the update to string along patrons, or even not working on the update at all, then that's fine, but keep it to speculation (preferably with some actual arguments for once...) instead of stating it as facts and calling people who aren't on the conspiracy bandwagon stupid sheep.

These conspiracy comments are annoying to begin with because like the vast majority of conspiracy "theories", they're based on absolutely nothing other than emotions and what people want to believe instead of actual logic and reason. So if you're going to vomit baseless speculation filled with inaccuracies and assumptions, don't get butthurt when someone is in here that corrects you.
I don't agree with Count Morado all the time either, but most of the time he's got his I's dotted and his T's crossed, if you genuinely think he's paid by DC then I don't don't what to tell you.

Never attribute malice to what can be attributed to incompetence.

Put him on ignore if you don't want to see his posts. Take some responsibility for your own experience instead of asking for someone else to do it for you.

Oh I didnt really meant that ,i don't read it anyway but the man is here 24/7 reacting to every post.
But always onesighted aka defending,the one who did this job before him is mysteriously disappeared,coincedenceSo no reason to remove this shit,
Although I wonder how long this post will hold here .

Interesting to see that the prom option here is separate from the harem. Wonder what that could mean.

I think the harem - as DC imagines it - is supposed to be beach house content and as such it probably means to meet the requirements to invite someone (maybe some special demands for the girl to move in, a small additional arc for her to be willing to share MC or what ever).

The prom on other hand is supposed to be the (unique) ending of a girl's story and will require dating and probably a bit of preparation like asking her out, etc.

At least that's how I'd understand it.

PS: It's been another 2 pages where nobody actually wrote anything about the game itself...

I’ll change the current conversation from complaining about DC to saying that Jenny is #1 girl, and I hope we get another substantial update from here soon. Yes, I know she already has the most content - as she should.

Thanks for posting this to change the topic. As for me, the #1 girl would be Becca and I hope she gets more content. But since she's not the main girl, then I would go for Roxxy.

What the hell happened to this game man

the dev got stuck in a developmental quagmire

Her story is mostly done but I'm hoping that the dating system fills out the gaps in her personality. Seeing the "conniving bitch" angle give way to something closer to a classic tsundere would bring her up quite a few notches in my eyes. Her diary spends so much time hinting at the notion that it'd be a crime not to see that possibility fulfilled.

Roxxy is probably still best girl for me, though Grace makes a compelling dark horse. Gimme all of that "struggling small business owner just needs love" smoke. DC's got a talent for making lovable characters that you just want to see more of, even though the horrifying development hell we're currently in makes a lot of those desires look like pipe dreams.

Oooh yes please, that's exactly what I want. Sharing is caring after all

Ah I see you are an individual of culture.

I still think Roxxy did Jenny's arc better.

Plus her being the caring older sister of another best girl adds an element of taboo.
