For clarification (in regards to tech update):

Are these people with some authority? Like, do they work on the game or are in close contact with the devs?

If so then that's a very bleak outlook, being "not even fucking close to nearly done" is very bad when you take into consideration how long it's already been. And we don't even know if it'll be good either, maybe the tech-update gets rushed at the end because everyone has grown tired of it, or released with bugs because of sheer incompetence.

Idk, I'm growing increasingly pessimistic and it's a shame because I'd like to see this game flourish.

Those guys are both mods in the discord server. Tbh, I think it's fishy how one mod has no idea about when the update will be ready, when another, right after, can say it with certainty. This is just my opinion, but I think that guy's "not even fucking close" is just a snarky, sarcastic dismissal of the original question, one they probably get a lot.

Would mods of the server even he privvy to the development side? Those are most likely just some guys from the community.

I mean is pretty obvious that the tech update is not close to be released,at this point a 2025 release dont seem like a joke anymore...

That's what I'm thinking. I'd be worried if a Dev or QA tester (which have darker blue and purple usernames respectively) said this.

The game creator and other stuff members from this game have my titanic respect. I dont give him anything, because i play games from here free. But my opinion is clear. This forum have 6,474,220 members, if iam right. Everyone from that members if in same situation like game creator doing same thing. Milking, milking and milking...

Glad to have some actual info, but for all the time my only question is why didn't they part 1 and part 2 the tech update? Roll out half of it for testing and whatnot then roll out the second part. But hey, I'm not a coder so it's whatever.

Mere days till abandoned let's fucking go.

You could literally go to their official site and download the game for free. So yeah, you can offically play the game for free without paying a single penny, without pirating the game once. But i guess someone felt just too smrt for this huh?

Theres Patron releases and theres Public releases. The game has been in development on the current update so long that there is currently no difference. When the tech update eventually happens it will be Patron only at first which is when THIS website and thread come in handy, because we will get it the same time as Patrons and not have to pay anything for early access like they did.

So, waiting 24 hours longer for the free general release is too long? Am I understanding you correctly?

Is it 24 hours? Generally you dont charge early access if you are gonna release a public build the next day, otherwise there'd be no incentive to support. Most devs do a week/month later release for public builds so that the patrons feel they got their moneys worth which then gets leaked to us pirates the same time as paying supporters so the dev gets pissy about it, which is always funny to see on threads.

Judith looks like she may have slimmed down a bit.

no it's simply the reality of the situation because we are not even making 1% progress a month anymore

 

[DcntMood]

So it's been a year already since the last update?

Except that is exactly what DC does - 24 hour early release for subscribers. The only other difference in terms of game access is that subscribers get use of faster download servers than the public. That's all. That's it. And he doesn't get bent out of shape if someone share's their copy on F95 before that 24 hours. Same with the wallpapers - the HD wallpapers are for higher tier subscribers only... but he clearly states "For the lower tier Patrons, simply wait a few hours for them to leak! (or DM me on Discord)." He's fully aware of what he offers and what gets shared.

The schadenfreude in threads like this (and a couple of other popular threads I follow) isn't because of a "pissy dev" but because of entitled brats.

So it's been a year already since the last update?

Yes.
