IMO, it's best to take breaks and come back every few updates for new content.

Still wish the early voting polls had been done better. Several characters (like Judith) are basically forgotten, while Diana and others got a ton of content that'll have to be redone anyway. Mia's route basically became her mom's route and her sex scene is pretty damn underwhelming for being the end of path achievement. (Seriously for a girl next door type that had been heavily fantasizing about romance/sex/being creampied, she's outright passive when the MC takes her virginity and when he blows his load inside her.)

Still planning on waiting for the Judith update then tapping out till around the end of development. Cute chubby nerd girls with crushes make me diamonds and Judith hits all the right notes. I just hope she keeps that cute nerd quality as her route plays out and they don't just make her a bimbo.

The art and the early days of this game blew my mind a little, but... 3 years to reach 0.20 and 2 years at 0.20 or whatever is just disheartening. You can only replay anything so many times to get caught up, again. Still hope they succeed and all, but sorting games by popularity this is now on page six...

I honestly don't think it has ever been that much higher in that specific weighted ranking. Most of these really old pre 2018 games don't seem to do well there, given that games like DMD are on page 20.

Last but not least, the numbers don't really mean that much, given that 0.2x alone inlcudes 3 full updates and will eventually include more than 25 new scenes total, etc.. I mean, it's not like there aren't enough reaons to be disappointed, but it's not as bad as the version numbers would suggest.

i think we can all agree that 2021 kinda sucked as a year for STS. my only highlight was the grace solo scene we got but there is no talking around it the waiting for the tech update has been awful and before that the main story updates weren't that great either. i'm 100% sure though next year is going to be fantastic. i mean we have rhonda, annie and judith coming up all in a row and all of that in the new widescreen resolution. call me naive but the "under the hood" upgrades that the game is getting might enable DC to crank out updates faster once they are done. while the tech update isn't out yet he's already working on rhonda update art so the art part might not be such a bottleneck at least for rhonda. basically have some of this:

I will agree that 2020 was a disgusting year for this game. Updates to the "main story" were the most disgusting ever for STS.

As for this year, my impressions are ambiguous - on the one hand, the endlessly lasting technical update (i thought it would be completed by this Christmas), on the other hand, some additional scenes pleased me (although thanks to some idiots who voted for the threesome scene with Tony and Maria and Janie's voyeurism scene we got some shit). In a word, if the developer had completed a technical update before the end of the year or released a third part of the lewd scenes or a small Christmas update, i would be practically satisfied.

And about your optimism, like Jan Hus, I want to exclaim: O sancta simplicitas! This game will be saved (I mean the quality and speed of releases) only if by some miracle donations fall by more than two times.

By the way, no one knows if the DC will release anything for the New Year holidays?
Although I myself understand that the likelihood of this is "EXTREMELY SMALL !!!" :cry:

And another question: after all, the DC promised to release a third psrt of the lewd scenes before the end of the technical update?

These main story updates and the tech update are probably like most big projects in real life. For those who have to live through them it's not that nice, but future players will be happy that it was and is done.

My biggest problem with the main story has always been that they didn't spread these updates. They had really good cliffhangers and no content to rework, so it would have been perfectly possible to release main story I -> Rhonda -> main story II -> Annie -> main story III -> Judith. I'm sure most people would have liked that a lot more.

As for the tech update? It's really just bad planning on the posing side, as it seems. I mean, it's not like we won't get something for the additoinal time it takes and sooner or later people will likely appreciate these scenes, new locations, added backgrounds etc. but right now but it's painful. Not that it matters really to those who don't pay, but I'm kinda impressed that DC's earnings still hold this well. Then again, the game is free and many patrons pay peanuts, so it kinda makes sense that they don't really care that much about a few $ more less.

There hasn't been an official announcement, but it seems like we'll get another batch of scenes before the actual tech update. Ultimately it'll depend on how fast his team is able to complete the actual technical work. The more time they need, the bigger is the chance that we'll get even more content in between to fill the gap.

Given that the last update was in October, I don't think we got another one in first quarter of 2022. I think we might get the tech update somewhere in late April or early May. As for major Rhonda update, we probably get it October or November 2022 if we were extremely lucky enough.
