It's DC's vision so whatever he wants to do i'm ok with but I almost wish he didn't use animations for the sex scenes if it causes so many delays the past year. That said, I mostly get my arousal from the situation and the illustration just helps giving context to said situation. The animations don't really do anything for me, but that's me, I wonder how much they do for the avarage consumer. If i'm a minority and most people get really turned on by the animation work.

I guess it gives a bit more visual stimulus. I don't really care either way since I started way back with older doujin Visual Novels so static images with scene descriptions are the norm for me, but DC doesn't really describe the scene as such and mostly has the "dialogue" being the main thing so the scenes being animated help in that case.

But to be fair it's not just the animations that cause longer waiting times between updates. He's also spending time to flesh out the characters more than previous updates. The teacher update alone fleshed out a lot of characters and not just from the faculty.

Most projects do not finish or succeed due to poor management, that is my point. I would like for that to be a non-issue.

That's a flaw with the system that can be somewhat remedied with upfront payment. Ultimately he does need money and patreon is a quasi-donation system. The reason why I use Star Citizen is because they had a ton of cash and ran out of money due to probably a myriad of reasons including management and expansion of features.

As I pointed out, my criticism is that he doesn't actually accomplish much during these streams. This is due to him joking around, polling for details, and waiting till the next day to actually finish something. I stated earlier that he does things that really should only take him 20-30 mins and it turns into 2+ hours. I'll say it again it's great for engagement on a Friday evening but an absolutely terrible way to develop a chunk of your game.

If what you say about multiple artists was true then no company would have them. This is were hiring the right person matters but to say that it will essentially "ruin" DC creative control or progression of the project is just flat out ignorant. If your project scope (as it's called) changes so too does the team. Part of the problem most likely stems from the fact the original features list was incredibly unreasonable to begin with just like so many other projects. The only difference here is that DC has the funds atm to possibly make it a reality if he smartly manages everything.

By himself* but with the help of others. This is no longer a one man show. People will buy a game just because it's a certain series or studio. I don't get your point there. Albeit they won't just throw money at a studio as a donation.

I've said my piece and I'm going in circles. Unless I could talk to DC and know the specifics on where everything is at, I have to state general things.

We'll see where the project goes.

The last thing I'll say is I've always seen at the end of a project the regret of not communicating, organizing, and planning more. Never the opposite.

He's producing a thinly veiled incest game, not a legit game sold in stores. In my view he's taking on quite a lot of risk, and still putting out content pretty regularly. There really are no other sex games on this scale, so I have no expectation of him running it like a mainstream game company.

He's still taking money to support the creation of a game. I don't expect him to run like a AAA either.

I do expect him to use some standard practices since they are simply beneficial.

Not to be mean, but isn't it funny how at the cusp of every update completion there's an influx of "new" members who'll just make one or two posts pointing it out?
