i see your point but i'd say he shouldn't have made this many side characters in the first place. he's making stuff for all the less popular girls now, i'm okay with that. still doesn't explain why he won't hire a coder full time because we've been at ~70% for idk how long and it feels like tech update is hardly making any progress letting some guy working full time on the code is the least he could do
It's a fair point but as said, ultimately it doesn't really matter that much. I mean, DC has always failed when it comes to publicity/adverisment and his release schedule is just a part of that. Then again, I don't think any of that actually makes the game better or worse. It's just background noise, which hurts his patreon numbers for years.
don't think it would be pointless. it would show that he acknowledges that he fucked up with the tech update but it's him who doesn't give a fuck what does people who voted for the tech update (back when it was supposed be done in 4 months) and his fans in general think.
Maybe my edit was a little late, but the guys from What a Legend! did that quite regularly and yet this whole thing turned so toxic that they seem to have left F95 completely. It's just how things go and nothing is going to change that. There are always way too many people, who don't care about anything.
Else one should remember that F95 doesn't seem representative of DC's fanbase. Unlike most other games, SS seems to be played by many casual players (on their phone, actually).
i honestly don't see many people clamoring for more scenes with the mafia girls or melonia. of course there is always some people, like there is this one guy here who always asks for more roz content but most people i see online are asking for debbie, ronda, annie, judith. then again if he finished those characters he couldn't dangle that carrot in front of the people who are waiting for these them so i expect more side characters in the coming months.
I don't really buy that carrot analogy to that degree. Of course there are a few surplus characters, but it's really not as bad some people make it sound. Yes, the game does have a massive cast, but it's bascailly been like that from the start.
It makes sense to structure these updates so that the game doesn't run out of steam in the mean time. As said countless times, it takes 5 seconds to end/pause a pledge if people don't like what they are getting and they can still play the game, follow his streams, etc.
Last but not least I'd also say that it's important for DC himself to have something to look forward to. If he'd completed the mandatory content right away, I'm actually quite sure that he'd either stop or move on sooner or later.
i think writing quality has gone down on the whole. i honestly think the main story and the russian girls are really really badly written but maybe that's just me
It's ok for a porn game. Let's not pretend like Roxxy or Eve are actaully that special either compared to any actually well written romance story, they just manage to suck people in quite a bit more because they provide a certain room for characters to grow and for the story to develop. That can hardly be done in a collection of short stories, which are combined into one main story, let alone in the 50 to 100 lines of dialog each mafia girl got. But then again, that's what secondary and tertiary characters are for.
