Why do you say that? This year still has nearly 3 months.looks like tech update likely won't happen this year

Tech update probably revolves primarily around the code (with 101 of the 255 tasks being in code), and the code is about 25% complete based on the status tracker on their site after two months. Not that development can't accelerate later, especially if they've had people taking summer holidays, but at the current velocity we'd be looking at an update in Feb-March 2022. Seems like code is almost always the bottleneck too, no idea why they don't get more programmers.Why do you say that? This year still has nearly 3 months.
that would be crazy but i can see it happening. i think most important is that dc will finish the tech update art so that he can start with rhonda. the coders are going to catch up eventually and if dc has already been working on rhonda art for 2 months, the waiting time between tech update and rhonda update might be shorter than usual. he could also use the additional time to really polish the dialogue and the story for her. i would root for rhonda to become the new fan favourite in the eyes of the fans just how it happened with with eve after her update dropped which had a lot to do with how quality the eve update was. eve wasn't really that popular before her update came out.we'd be looking at an update in Feb-March 2022.
lol every scene ever needs to be reworked as well, hiring programmers won't help cause there's only DC drawing all the stuff and they can't work much without the art, art has always been the bottleneck for this gameTech update probably revolves primarily around the code (with 101 of the 255 tasks being in code), and the code is about 25% complete based on the status tracker on their site after two months.

You can look at the progress tracker on the website. It pretty clearly shows that the ones most behind right now are code and posing. Art, meanwhile, is 82% complete. I'm sure there's a lot of art work to be done, but right now it looks like posing and code are what are holding back the progress, not art.lol every scene ever needs to be reworked as well, hiring programmers won't help cause there's only DC drawing all the stuff and they can't work much without the art, art has always been the bottleneck for this game
of course art needs to be ahead, without the art there's not much to work on, do u seriously think if art had been completed by now we would be looking at the same progress for the other tasks lolYou can look at the progress tracker on the website.

The contrary is true. Art has very seldom been the bottleneck.lol every scene ever needs to be reworked as well, hiring programmers won't help cause there's only DC drawing all the stuff and they can't work much without the art, art has always been the bottleneck for this game
Nothing would be easier than just taking placeholders for the images. It don't even have to be sketches but sketches would certainly help. The images can be finalized later. Have you ever seen the outtakes from, for example, Disney movies? They are full of sketches, still images and so on because they were created before the final art was finished. Same could be done here. But, again, art was always never the bottleneck.of course art needs to be ahead, without the art there's not much to work on, do u seriously think if art had been completed by now we would be looking at the same progress for the other tasks lol

There's only 1 coder and he's been at it for more than 2 months (we got the last lewd batch 2 months ago, the last "real update" was in April, he's been recoding for the tech build since). DC will have plenty of time to finish the lewd batch #2 before coder is done with the tech, so expect R(h)onda streams "soon" and well before the tech code is completed > just like any and all update since ~2017that would be crazy but i can see it happening. i think most important is that dc will finish the tech update art so that he can start with rhonda. the coders are going to catch up eventually and if dc has already been working on rhonda art for 2 months, the waiting time between tech update and rhonda update might be shorter than usual. he could also use the additional time to really polish the dialogue and the story for her. i would root for rhonda to become the new fan favourite in the eyes of the fans just how it happened with with eve after her update dropped which had a lot to do with how quality the eve update was. eve wasn't really that popular before her update came out.
IMO her story specifically is done, but assuming they show up and win in the polls, Martinez or Lopez might get something.Is there going to be more storie content for Consuela or is that it for her character in the game?
They'd have to get their update 1st, which is with Judith and in 3+ years. You got a while before they show up in any poll, if at all since they're 2ndary girls for another's routeIMO her story specifically is done, but assuming they show up and win in the polls, Martinez or Lopez might get something.
Coding doesn't need the assets to be complete to progress. You can use a placeholder to mark where an asset should be and simply replace the placeholder with the real asset with zero or minimal code changes, and this is very typical to prevent programming from being bottlenecked by design. The entirety of the code could be built before a single art asset was fully ready, just waiting for the finalized assets to be plugged in. Moreover, this is a tech update, which means for a lot of the code changes being made there simply is little or even no art work to complete, and in either case art is almost 90% complete and code is still below 30%.elaborate
In that case you are only looking at one single update and not the game as whole.Coding doesn't need the assets to be complete to progress.

You know I am one of those so-called DC white knights. But I say they *could* do more if they wished. They could hire coders just for fixing bugs (there are plenty) or doing other fancy stuff that falls short with just one coder. They could hire someone who draws all those placeholder images (even placeholders don't draw themselves all alone). That would open up the possibility to add more naughty scenes, more camera angles, different settings and so on.In that case you are only looking at one single update and not the game as whole.
DC himself is does basically nothing but drawing and he starts working on the next update long before the current one is finished.
As such the time it takes to complete the game solely depends on the time he takes to create the art.
Even if they'd do all the things people demand, use placeholders, hire way more people, etc. that fact doesn't change. If DC needs - let's say - another ~4 years to complete the art for the game, no amount of coders, posers, etc. will change that.
It'll always take these ~4 years to finish the game and that's very likely the reason why they don't bother with all of that stuff. It may make people feel a little better, but ultimately it's objectively just a waste of effort and money...
Edit: The only point of time where it really makes sense to get additional help is at the very end. But even in that case DC probably wants to have some time to prepare his next project, so there's very likely no real need, either.
Sure, that would influence the quality of the unifinished game and it would improve the experience for the player. But it wouldn't increase the speed at all and it wouldn't add more possibilities for anything that needs additional art.You know I am one of those so-called DC white knights.

Much wuld be possible. But it's DC's decision.
Between nobody knows,, when it's ready and never. Take 1 choice and waitwhen the heck will appear next update of this game? seriously guys
They did hire more than 1 coder, just not at once > we are on the ~4th coder now (more if you count DC's early attempts as coding)You know I am one of those so-called DC white knights.
