Are you really honestly suggesting, that I guy who stopped working in the animation industry, because he wanted to do his own thing, will employ somebody to tell him, that he really can't do something he wants do to, because there has to be a release? I'm 100% sure that DC will rather take a 10, 20, 30k dollar earnings dip than doing that.
It's always been the other way round. DC does what he wants/likes and if people like it, they are supposed to give money and if they don't, they (should) stop.
This isn't some kind of kickstarter project where managing a set and promised schedule is part of the project.
Adding to that, DC was (is?) actually thinking about creating a 360 degree panaroma view of the city seen from the light house.

No worries. Like I said, it got buried in the waves of entitlement tears.
Wait, what?
A person can do almost whatever they want and people can donate to them to do that?
And if people don't like what that person does, they can say fuck it and not (or cease to) donate?
How Dare!

I wonder if they'll put some scenes into the tech-update regardless of what they said. Could be a nice surprise and it's not impossible since DC and the animator had plenty of time and are ahead of schedule anyway, implementing some bonus scenes shouldn't be too hard should it?

Yeah, given that DC is adding these wallpaper cutscenes, one would think that they'd create a few more sex scenes, too. I mean, not addings scenes would have been fine if the tech update had be released a few weeks after the last pre-tech... but it's been quite a while by now...

Exactly, that's my line of thinking too. Like always, not getting my hopes up but it'd be nice to see.

i'm not suggesting anything. i got asked what the solution to updates taking years is and that was my answer. i know how patreon works, i know dc drew the golden ticket and he can retire as a millionaire in a couple years while barely doing any work, i know he doesn't want to throw that ticket away. i wouldn't either. if people are still willinly giving him money even after all this time and defending his work ethics on forums there is literally no reason for him to change anything.
the ball is in the patreons court, if people on would stop donating on mass even if it's just 1$ i think things would change yes. maybe not after he loses 10k but if he would lose 20k he would turn out more updates quickly. yes i think he cares about the money he's making even if he pretends he doesn't.
also what i'm saying is, if you really care about this game and want to see it finished the best thing you can do it stop donating even if it's a small amount. this thread getting a [in limbo] tag or something like that would also be a great thing because maybe that way some new patreons would be warned that the last real update has been years before and the last actually good update even longer. i know that's not going to happen so whatever. i just like to post in this thread from time to time and watch the shitshow that this game has become. my interest in this game has been nothing like back when before the eve update.

I'm pretty sure he meant actual solutions.
You realize that he already lost over 20k/months in earnings and didn't change anything at all? In peak times he was earning 80k, now it's below 60k.
As mentioned by others, you/we/this community aren't DC's primary target group. I recall DC saying years ago that the majority of official downloads had been android versions of the game and that tells you everything you need to know. The average player is a casual, who downloads the game for his smartphone/tablet for free from DC's homepage and possibly becomes a patron after that.
Apart from those games, which made it on steam, there'll be few games where F95 matters less.

if j4yj4m is right you'll be able to fap at a 360 degree panorama view of this city. isn't that great?
there is no actual solutions. he can not release anything but wallpapers for the next 2 years and i doubt he'd even lose another 10k. also the 60k he is making i still a lot but yes i thing he would start changing his work ethic if donations dropped as low as 20k~15k (which i know is not going to happen you don't have to tell me)
also i don't care about being in any target group or that my posts won't change anything

Moving the goalposts, I see.
I'd agree that the game probably won't drop that low, mainly because it's actually a pretty good game in a small market with little competition. Though I'm pretty sure that his numbers will continue to fall until he releases the tech-update and/or Ronda. As such he'll probably lose another few 1000s more a month before it's going up again.
We'll I was just trying to explain why the tech update may make quite a bit of sense, if it actually benefits the majority of your playerbase.
If 95% of SS players would be those, who play on PC and who don't have to care about drive space, performance and screen ratio, that calculation may have been different.

There is no solution. There's nothing that anyone can do. This is a situation where you have to the serenity to accept the things you cannot change.
Like ScamCitizen. It is only a scam if you stop paying. As long as you keep paying, your not stupid, cause it is in development ^_^

I didn't say anything of the sort! I only said that there's nothing anyone can do. Donate. Don't donate. I don't give a rat's ass. Neither does DC. The next version will come out whenever it does, regardless of what you do.

Considering which characters are in wallpapers maybe Diane won't get her house demolished, and Grace will get more fleshed out story, or even her own route (probably wishful thinking, but I still believe).

I don't know about "the majority" and "most of the people here". Some post, some (I guess many more) only lurk, some donate, some not, some make mods for free, some want to get payed, even some devs post here. Yes, it's a pirate site, but I would never have become a patron of this game without it. And I would never have made the mod.

You know the OP has dates in it ? And it's been asked a few dozen times since last week
Diane's rereremake won't happen soon. Grace won't get a solo route. And you missed possibly more Odette scenes (will love to see the moaners get mad about that too)
If you have completed the story that had the scenes being updated from the update, then it is normal that your savings to be corrupted since the recent update mostly are just adding more scene to the existing story (although the main story is already completed so i suggest if you havent finish the story, better finish it first before updating you game)
But yes, needing to start a new game and skipping to the new content where you have to redo all the story that needed you to make a decision is kinda exhausting, been doing it 3 times so far XD

It's funny that you mention it, because DC did talk about Grace's route in one of few streams I followed in these last weeks. But it was sadly a bit more along the lines of "it can't be done, because you'd have to play through Eve's route, because it breaks Eve's heart, because of "all these problems that have been talked about here, too"".
Then again, it's good that he's at least talking about it already, so there's a somewhat small chance it may happen eventually.
But that's why I'd think that a real review of Grace's situation is off the table for now, even though they should really, really, really do it. It's one of my biggest personal gripes with the game as a whole.
When it comes to Diane's situation. Maybe there's at least a small chance that we'll see something new, even though I wouldn't expect that much. Who knows... I wouldn't get my hopes up, though.
