Yes, I fully understand the frustration they are going through and why they backlash. But, just don't do it on a pirating website where most of us here aren't patrons. Also none of anything they say will be seen by the actual people causing them problems. I just want them do it where the developers can actually see what they are saying. For example their discord, but they would probably get banned. Hence, why they do it here and cause unnecessary flood.
I don't come to this forum to read posts on different forums. If I wanted to do that, I'd go there. I have that freedom, so stop emposing these comments on this forum. I can't imagine that's what this forum is for.
No. But you need to make your own contributions to this forum to be part of the conversation. Just quoting other people isn't enough. If you feel the people you quoted make a point, tell us why, and hide the image in a spoiler tag so it isn't clogging up the place.
This game is free. No one is a pirate for playing this game[...] become a lowly pirate like the rest of us
Quick answer: most adult games on Patreon aren't built to scale up development based on an increased budget.
Thank you
Though it's not just the art that causes delays, coding has in the past also been a major issue. Old code not being compatible with the new one, causing all kinds of nastiness with bugs and the like.
Well, the time an update takes is determined by the amount of content and the fact that everything is drawn by hand. So the real answer is, that money doesn't matter at this point. The speed will be the same, wether the game gets 20 to 25k or 60k. DC is drawing fulltime and has outsourced everything else to his team or freelancers like AEHentai. So there's no room for any improvement in terms of speed, unless we want him to start releasing worse quality again, as he did in the beginning. As long as he doesn't find another artist who suits his liking (which is the only way to speed things up, but a very personal decision in my opinion), it won't matter if he makes 20k more or less. He hasn't promised anything he didn't deliver- he hired the people he promised as goals for example- yet people keep giving him more money, which is nice for him and in my opinion deserved, but doesn't really mean anything at this point.
I think it's important to see the difference between temporary delays and overall development speed. Yes, coding/bug fixing can cause small delays for specific updates, but DC is drawing all the time and starts working on the next update, before the recent one is even released and while his teams handels those problems (he started working on 0.19 last week for example). Because of that, hiring more coders may remove some of those smaller delays but won't change the overall speed at all. He could hire 10 new coders and we'd still not get more updates per year.Thank you
"Close" is so relative.
Could be by the end of week. Just don't know which week, could be this week, the next or the one after that. I'm a patron, but haven't received any updates about the update, better check back at around 98%.
and even there it isnt a safe bet it will be that soon,i remember the teachers patch,when the bar stay in 98(or was it 97?) for almost all the month....but that was back there,shit didnt repeated itself yet,at least not like that...."Close" is so relative.
i think sometimes people try to apply logic on things that dont follow logic,as example that guy comment remarking on DC profit,or yours on people who complain(there will always have complaints)...it is simple,people complain when the dont like something,the simple fact you vocalized you're perplexed with people that vocalize their opinions made you vocalize about that....which makes me return to the point that all this fucking discussion serves to nothing,so how about we just change subject to what you guys think will be brought in Jenny's update....i think its better than risking circling around off topic discussions and incurring moderators inquiries...
Hate to nitpick, but EA is mostly a publisher so the only updates EA releases are for annual sports games, and they do get regular updates.DC is smart, Last year it was 3 updates ? it will be 2 updates this year and 1 update next year.
I think EA releases updates faster.
