Dream on man. Speaking from experience it would be suprising to see an April release.Wheeew 84%! Maybe in 3 weeks we got the update prox, 2 to finish it and 1 for the test
Yeah, I use my imagination to turn off the notion of what I'm looking at is completely fake so I can immerse myself in the produced product I am using.
I agree with the general premise of this. Both the teacher update and especially the Roxxy update were fantastic. I'd gladly wait 4 months for each of those. My only problem is taking the same amount of time to remake existing content that I already liked, especially for 2 updates in a row. That fact means it will be roughly 1 year between updates with all new content.
DC stopped streaming in the last days, so it means he's drawing sex scenes he doesn't want to spoil. After that, it all comes to the coders do their job fast to who knows, deliever in April.
DC can only lose. He gives the game away for nothing but still makes too much money. He takes three months to deliver quality updates but that's too long. He does some surprise updates in between but they are too small. He works over older art and story again to make it better but half the people don't like it (while the other half likes the new style better). He has a unique art style but people complain he does not hire more artists. He hires a team that helps in keeping up the website, business and -- most important -- write a quality story but people only ask for save game compatibility and skip all the nice scenes. He keeps his fans informed with progress updates and online streaming but half the people complain that he'd better go back to work instead (while the other half would want more of this).
What incest patch are you using? I never played with one, but the one on the first page of this thread is mentioned to work not very well. There is, however, which is reported to work well.
I whine with purpose. I financially supported this game for two years and now my career and relationships in the real world are forcing this part of my life into the toilet for the foreseeable future. Mid-July my girlfriend will be moving in with me and I will have to toss my laptop into the river.
Funny how incredibly bitter some people seem to get when someone like DC is making decent money. He's not charging anyone anything, instead patrons give exactly how much they feel like giving and can withdraw their pledge anytime they want, and at the end of the day the game is released for everyone whether they've put a dime into it or not. And still some people in here seem to think that just because DC has been successful with his game, and is making money for producing one of highest quality games in the genre, that opens him to whining and crying about everything from update schedule to art to DCs monthly income, mostly by people who've never invested a cent into the game.
The way I see it, it's a bit like complaining about politicians, if you don't vote you forfeit the right to moan. If you don't participate, you can moan and whine, but you just come off looking like an entitled brat.
It will take AT LEAST 2 weeks.. and im being optimistic lol
It's a VN after all, that wants to tell a story. If you just want to have fast porn this is simply not the game to play. With that in mind the pacing can't really be changed unless you either want to remove important elements of the story or make the whole update even bigger/longer. Else one should not only account for the amount of content (or what ever you would call "true content" - sex scenes, I suppose?) but the quality as well.
The bed scene at night will almost certainly be gone.
Do you have some sort of graph that has specific details on exactly how much a developer is supposed to do in any given timeframe?
well,sometimes people dont know how to measure things,and the problem gets exponentially bigger when you rub something the wrong way(to some people)in the wrong time,most of the problem in the art sector is occurring 'cuz DC simply wanted to give a more 'fresh" look to the characters to make them more part of the atmosphere of the game,while giving him a easier way to work,cant really blame him from trying that,but we cant really predict the consequences this kind of action can have IN THE PUBLIC(its even more harder to predict when SS have a public so big and varied)...
