Big W, summertime saga got beat out by a 3d palette swap game with a shit ton of dialogue and no sex scenes LMAO, I guess its because that game updates more in 6 months than this game does in a year and a half

I encountered a bug?

After made Maria pregnant by minigame, I checked the save file:

Code: 
fsm_data > machine_data > maria > pregnancy > days_elapsed :(0)
fsm_data > machine_data > maria > pregnancy > number_of_babies :(0)
fsm_data > machine_data > maria > pregnancy > stage :(0)
There is some other variables I need to check?

Yes and no. Ultimately every 2D game is limited by the artist, in this case DC, who is already drawing full time. Adding more people in other positions may (greatly) improve the process and refine the game, but it won't speed up the development as a whole.
In other words, if DC needs another 3 years to draw the art for the game, the game will be done in 3 years plus the time it takes to prepare the final release and it won't matter whether they hire more coders, posers or so.

Hiring more artists on the other hand is a completely different matter and would require DC to change his own role from being the one who is drawing his game to being the one who mainly supervises/instructs other artists. And that's a step no 2D weg here has really managed until now. It looks like DC doesn't want to take it and for example Magicnuts/Chestnut seem at least sceptical about it, too.

It's the old saw they teach in Business school: If it takes a woman nine months to have a child, hiring eight more women won't get the job done in a month.

That would make sense if the bottleneck was in the art department, but it's not. Just look at the current tracker, art is ahead of everything else by a large margin, at 80% complete, on the other hand coding is the progress bar that's dragging behind, at 43%. This isn't an issue of DC not being able keeping up with the art output, the problem lies in not having a full time coder.

That's a misconception. It's not like DC stops drawing while coding and stuff catches up and waits until the update is out, but he starts drawing art for the next update while his team finishes the current one.

That's why adding more coders wouldn't improve the overall speed. It would just shorten the time between him finishing the art and releasing the update once. After that we'd be back to where we are now, having saved like 4 weeks or so once.

Edit: Just to add, I do indeed think that he should hire another coder to help out, given that they could indeed polish the whole release procedure and given that he could really easily afford it. But it's just important to see that it won't really make the time between releases any shorter going forward.

u guys were talking about eve story (although i dont like traps, which why i didnt give her a deck) i really enjoyed her story and all her scenes and i hope the rest of the chars get something like that

I totally get it. Most of the fan base loves Eve. Her personality just does nothing for me. I REALLY like Grace and there was no option to have her instead and I get why. It's Eve's story. Trans or not, Eve just wasn't my cup of tea. I'm also not into Odette. Its my least favorite of all the storylines so far.

I like Eve (female) love Grace hate Odette. Odette is a horrible character. I just hate having to hook her and Grace up.

It seems so strange that people who will not call black characters "the N-word," will not call gay characters "the F-word," but will use the term Trap to describe transwomen. I know a number of transwomen who are in the gaming community who have to put up with that a lot.

For me it would be Ok to call a trans woman "trap" if she made you think her to be a woman. Because then, well, she trapped you.
