for years there was a good reason to defend him as he was always super slow from the beginning, it wasn't like he at some point changed his glacial ineffective ways. and he always came through in the end. and yeah maybe the excuses were flimsy and even stupid at times, but the point is he was always as lazy and that was the ride the supporters agreed to ride on.

but this, this time is different. there's no excuse for this. clearly there's been no work done in years and this was just a panic update with 2 weeks of work at best. the usual case before devs go awol for good.
HELL NO

He made bimonthly updates back in 2016, then he made monthly updates, then he made every 2 months updates, then he made quarterly updates then... then patrons voted for the tech update.

So no, this time is not different: there never were excuses for anything at all.

Some people can notice the one spark that starts a fire. Some people can't see the fire in front of them.
Good for you. I saw this dynamic even before the tech update, it was clear to me that DC was burned out of this project a long time ago.

DC seems to be the most productive member of his team :LUL:

According to these graphs, normal gaps are around 4k-5k monthly subs. DC has about 30k since the beginning of the month, so at this rate it's safe to assume at least 34k subs by the end of the month. My guess is: It will probably be more than less, but it all depends on how happy the community is with the rework. It seems that this update had a paywall (correct me if I'm wrong), so it probably contributed to these figures to some extent. Next month's graph will show more accurate information.
As of 12 hours ago he HAD almost 32k subs

So his patreons voted for this? There's some real monkey paw shit right there. Just seems like something that big or take this long shouldn't be left up to fans. Character development and storylines are fine, but under the hood additions and new modes should be saved after the games story and characters are filled in.

But I don't know shit about game development.

DC always gives subscribers 24 hours official access before public release. So, yes, to an extent you are correct. Nearly all developers see an initial bump upon a new release - even if it's straight to public access.

That said - the Patreon post that talked about the update and what people should expect when they download the update was a public post --- so if after reading the public post of what was in it, people still subscribed thinking there was something more... that's on them.

So?
Every creator on Patreon and any other site looses a lot of subscribers at the start of the month.
While I do hope there will be some response to this update, this most likely isn't it.
Look at at the amount at the end of June and then you are able to see if he has been hit or not.
Looking today does not show the real picture.

I gave up on this game a long time ago. I just don't understand why people kill their golden goose.
That's the opposite. The goose is alive and well.

They definitely didn't vote for this. They voted for "tech update - complete overhaul guys, but don't worry: it will take 2-3 months only. Pinky promise".

He repeatedly tried to sell it before it got okayed and the poll that decided it was basically "3~5 months work, better art and updates will be able to come out faster afterwards"
DC was hella horny for the tablet gooners.

31 days ago he had 4 thousand less subs. Patreon always dips at the beginning of every month for larger creators - it has to do with when people subscribe (for most subscribers their subscriptions renew on the day they subscribe) and soft-declines (their paypal or cc or debit doesn't have funds or need reauthorized), and over the course of the month the numbers increase.

We've had this conversation now 3 times in the past 2 hours or so - 79,596. You would think people would know how Patreon works after 8+ years.

But - yeah ... okay.

Fair enough. There's got to be a story there then. Either something dropped and severely delayed things or ...

Is an incest patch required for v21?
Yes, and it hasn't been created - either rename the household characters to something that gets you off or use your imagination or wait until a fan or modder makes a patch, the old one doesn't work with v21 because of the new coding written with new variables, etc.

VIRUS ALERT ON "GOFILE" WIN version ... samething on PIXELART
will wait next version
The GOFILE version is fine. I downloaded it about an hour ago. Whatever you are getting is a false positive. The person who uploaded it got it directly from the source and still ran it through checkers, etc before uploading to the filehosts and linking in OP.

Always funny when patreon milkers pretend that the most complicated programming in the world is behind these Renpy games, which also require years of refactoring the entire code base every now and then.

You don't have to do a requirement analysis with some stupid stakeholders that don't know what they want since the games mostly already exist in an more or less advanced state, you don't have to adapt to some external new hype tech or services, you already have the Renpy engine and your code base that you can reuse, just rename the stupid variables and methods of the ex-dev and rewrite some of his yanderedevy if else statements.

I understand that this is sometimes annoying and unsatisfactory, but this is not a hobby project of a developer who gets 50 dollars a month. But it's always these wannabe junior devs who think that everyone would be better off if they could refactor 100% of a project's code base instead of improving some bad bits.

You have to burn incense and pray to the great pumpkin
  • You must be playing against the CPU in single-player mode.
  • You must be on ‘ ’ stage.
  • You must see silhouettes flying past the moon in the background at some point during the fight.
  • You must get a ‘Double Flawless’ (win two rounds without damage).
  • You must not block at all during the fight.
  • You must conclude the fight with your character's own specific Fatality move and not the uppercut stage Fatality.

game definitely needs an NTR tag for all the cucking DC does to his patreons. he even trolled them with the update link, disabled the comments on his patreon and is now mentally and financially CUCKING them by drip feeding them old content for the next couple years. yet they still line up to suck his dick and defend him on the internet from the mean haters for free :KEK:
