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)
It looks like DC doesn't see the need for more. I mean, everybody on the team except DC himself is working part time.

Ulitmately he's probably right, as he just won't produce enough content to occupy a full time team.

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.

I'm not sure why you'd think that it would create opportunities for more scenes, angels, etc. as they do require art. Quite on the contrary, the fact that they aren't using any placeholders etc. right now helps, because DC doesn't waste any time on stuff that won't make it into the final game and I'm almost 100% sure that's the reason why they aren't using them in the first place.
If you are trying to say they just couldn't do anything to either provide more or better content faster then I must definitly disagree. I wrote how DC would not have to waste his time on doing sketches for placeholders by hiring people for that so that he can work on the additional stuff. I explained how additional coders could focus on fixing bugs or even polishing existing code so that the new stuff could be done faster. I did not say they must or should, just that it's possible.

"the fact that they aren't using any placeholders etc. right now helps, because DC doesn't waste any time on stuff that won't make it into the final game"

If anybody would call it a waste if it would enable the coder to do his part faster, I can't help it. I did not even say DC had to do it himself. Even the least talented coder could create placeholder images himself if need be. However, I'd rather guess coding is not late because the coder sits idly waiting for art to be available, but because it's simply too much to code. Placeholders would not help in that case.

Edit: They could even hire some more testers and start to fix all those bugs that are being reported. But then again, even 60,000 bucks a month are used up eventually. People want to get paid.

If you say yes then Eve is the trap, if you say no then Eve is a normal girl
oof there's gotta be a better way to do that. she's written like she's intersexed though if you choose the penis route, saying she was born with both, so it wouldn't make sense for her to identify as a man. idk maybe they'll elaborate on that.

I don't think I was clear enough. Right now he isn't working on any additional stuff, so there's no time to gain from where we are now.

And I'd disagree about the placeholders specifically. Placeholders will not increase the development speed of the game from start to finish, simply because it's not even about the time it takes to draw them (as you say, that's quick), but about the time it would take DC to explain to somebody else what he wants. In the time he has done that, he may have drawn the sketch on his own. If you provide a finished image, you may have to explain a few things once, if you start by talking about the scenario without any kind of sketch, etc., the process simply gets more time consuming and you may even have to talk about the same issue twice. In the worst case that'll cost additional time and as such will make the time it takes to finish the game even longer.

You are still only looking at one single update and kinda ignore that it doesn't matter for the overall speed, if coders have nothing or - temporarily - to much to do. DC is working continuously for years now and there's just no time to gain. If he had done all the things you say in the past (since he started to hire peoeple, of course), the game would still be where it is today. Sure, maybe a littel better polished code wise but there wouldn't be more art around.

We simply are talking about a two different issues. It's fair to say that hiring another coder would very likely improve the developmentprocess as a whole and that it would probably make the game a bit better (for now). But none of that will make the time it takes to finish the game shorter and as such art is indeed the limiting factor.

As such, the only thing that would speed up the process is to hire another artist and once that is done, one would have to see how many coders oder posers are required by the amount of content two artits could produce.

DC himself is does basically nothing but drawing and he starts working on the next update long before the current one is finished.
The fact that his artwork is done well in advance of the coding is one reason why he's felt no big need to hire a second artist. The challenges of matching style is not worth the hassle.

You wish.

Even if hiring one person would double dev speed, it still is DC's decision alone. Supporting him on Patreon does not make one his boss, you know?

I'm getting errors while playing some scenes in the cookie jar eg Ivanka, eve? can someone help, please
You used the OP unlocker and fucked the game. Either delete and re-download the game (without the unlocker) or pray to RNGesus srk's mod can fix it (99% not happening)
any news about updating mrs. Johnson (tammy) and eric ?? like anything at all ?
They need to win a poll, then wait for the already planned 3 routes + finishing the tech build to happen, then wait the ~4 months it takes for an update. So like the other dude above said, come back in 2023. Maybe by then the poll will come out and they may win it (doubtful)

Anyone know what these things are?

v0.20.10 (Pre-tech - Part I):
New Content:

  • Five new repeatable standalone events with all new dialogue.
  • Five new animations (one with three variations) - one for each new event.
  • A sixth new animation to add a new angle for an existing scene.
