The android version is completely unplayable for meI, I can't trigger any routes after the Ms Bisette class. Whe I go to Diane's place, she's nowhere to be found, when I go anywhere there's no one, the game is completely barren apart from the Debbie and Jenny quests
Ma Dawg its written on the screen of the tech update game the only unlocked stories are the Main character, Jenny n Debbie's walkthroughs the rest of the updates will cum out on a monthly bases

what is the difference between the tech update and pre tech and which one should i play?
Like it was said already in the few last pages.

Pre-tech = the game.
Tech update = remake of the game, so it's only the beginning.

Absolute proof? None. Critical thinking maybe?

All I will say is that if I was trying to milk a bunch of people for every cent I could get out of them, I would do it exactly in the way it has unfolded here. Release nothing for as long as possible, when anything came about to threaten my income stream like people asking questions about why the game has been labeled as abandoned do the barest minimum to keep the gravy train flowing. I personally don't think however that this beta has been cobbled together in a few weeks, this thing has been say ready to go for months.

If something looks like a turd, smells like a turd and tastes like a turd, then it's probably a turd... or Morrissey.

I posted the full graphic earlier today... I have posted the graphic many times in this thread over the past 2 years.

No, the shareholders would not be calling for the CEO's head. It is obvious that many people here do not have the business acumen to interpret things. While the tech update has been a cluster fuck, it's purpose is to prepare the game for future profits, not current profits. The "company" as you would call it, can tread water while attempting to rework the product for a future release. As such, and as has been seen with the preview of the tech update, that what they intend is exactly what happened - an uptick (to record numbers) simply by releasing the preview.

He doesn't need the "potential income" you are referring to because at his current expenses of payroll, etc - he still brings in more each month than he puts out... remember that his staffing requirements were based on about $25k-$30k per month - and even before he turned of the $$$ public number, he was well above that number - making profits. Which is what a lot of the complaints here in this thread have been about "that he's pulling in all this money and not spending enough for the tech update to get done faster."

The whole "abandoned" tag excuse (and your maybe / maybe not hedging) makes NO sense - again, because the numbers had been climbing for the previous year back to previous highs and so he was under no rush to do anything because of some tag. And if you're a subscriber with access to the project's actual task list - it is easy to see that what was released as a preview was already stated as completed. But see, we don't see that shit here.... but Username7 has been posting these tasks off and on ... and if people bothered to look at them they would see this is the case.

This argument is tired and old and makes no logical or common sense. If people actually took a step back (or rolled back from their computer desk and pulled up their pants) it is easy to see that the caterwalling going on here is just a moving target of complaints simply because they can't get new content on their schedule and have to wait for what DC wants to release when he releases it.

I do think the was feeling some pressure from his team that they should release something to show they aren't simply fucking around - so that they can show they have been doing things. I do think that some very loyal subscribers offered advice that maybe they should release something to quell some of the discord chatter. I do think that DC thought people would be more impressed with what he envisioned was moving the product forward for mobile gamers (his biggest market who do subscribe and what is the fastest growing VN and gaming market on the world) and because it had taken so long, he thought the preview would satisfy some. AND, the huge jump in subscribers does kind of support his thoughts --- even with the pushback from people who have played this thing for years.

Because, again, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of new people who find his game every single day because there are 2/3 of a million new people on the internet every single day... he's not going to run out of a customer base.

So, again, pushing a false narrative means I am going to pushback on it and, as such, it looks like I am defending DC --- but as I have stated time and again on this site when people ask me why I bother:
I despise the spreading of misinformation (either unintentional or intentional) and/or willful ignorance.

No one pays for the game. It's a free game. Yes, there are subscribers - but they aren't subscribing to get a free game. Everyone gets it free straight from DC. Jesus fucking Christ, you're dense. And almost no one here on this site subscribes to DC (I don't --- never have and never will).

You making fun of subscribers here where people take games without subscribing or paying for them - whether they are free or not from the developer - is like going to a Mormon Church and making fun of all the drunks in the pews. And you keep coming back with the same nonsense over and over makes you look like the fool.
Nice try DC.

This thread is an incredibly sad sight at this point lmao

Not that it ever was a beacon of good discussion, it's a pirate/porn site after all, which is degenerate in and of itself, but at least before the partial tech-update there was some anticipation and the increasingly rare discussion about the game itself. Seemingly more people too.

I've noticed that a lot of people have moved on from this thread after the 1st part of the tech-update ended up being as barren as it is. Now there's just the same people throwing shit at each other over the same topic over and over again. Again, that's been the case for a long while now except only the hardliners are left with more spite than ever.

And by the way, can someone briefly explain what the fuck is going on here?
The tl;dr is that the dev team had to unfuck years of code and they were using that time to update the visuals to 16:9 since, as it turned out, more people were gooning it to this game over their phone that not. That endeavour itself is now 2+ years in the making with no substantial update in sight, which made people here pretty mad and call the game a scam. Apparently, patreons on DCs Discord were also starting to ask around, so it was decided to do piecemeal releases instead of one single huge release. Basically a remake if you will, which started with the recent one that's essentially only the (not) big sister story and some parts of the reworked main story, since (not) mom still only has her old art. If it was the right call remains to be seen, as we have yet to see it they keep the promised 2 month schedule of updates to all the old stuff being implemented back bigger and better. Seemingly, that was enough for his patreons, but this thread went (largely) the other way, only intensifying in the game being called a scam and whatever else you can imagine.

But let's be real, if not before, then the thread has now gone full retard.

And how's your day been so far? :)
