i remember when people where saying the assets for the rhonda story are completly finished 2 years ago or so and just a couple weeks ago he did more stuff for the lifeguard.
Well, who ever said that, was really wrong back then. DC never claimed it and it obviously wasn't the case - at least I recall him mentioning a long time ago, that he hoped to have about half of Rhonda's art completed at the end of the tech update. But given that it's been a year or so, it may have changed.
yeah but there is a middle ground. he was literally working for weeks on the interior for the lighthouse. not every side character needs his/her own ultra detailed toilet that resembles their personality you know what i mean. especially if he could have finished the art assets for multiple main characters by now so that most of what's left once he gets to rhonda, annie and so on is posing and coding
Honestly, that's not on us to decide - at least not as long as he's sticking to the original concept. If he wants to add more detailed art/backgrounds, that's really on him and it's on his patrons to vote with their feet.
Especially if you consider, that most of these backgrounds are actually really nice and that the single downside is, that creating them takes time. But that's only a problem for those who are waiting now - people who are going to play the game for the first time in the future, will have a blast seeing them. At least as I see it now, the tech update will increase the overall art quality significantly.
yeah for example the cafeteria lady. was she really needed when we have so many side characters with zero content? what about the indian doctor from the hospital? i haven't played the game in years so i barely remember most characters but there were a bunch of them like this
I mean, the cafetaria lady probably exists to free up Kevin for content. Ultimately non of these minor characters really matter in the big picture. Sure, he will have wasted quite a few weeks in total on characters which aren't needed, but does that really matter looking at the big picture? Most of these side characters are good for the game and make at least a few people really happy.
the big problem is that he also doesn't want to get better or have oversight over the project. his coder could literally work an hour a week and he probably wouldn't care or notice
I still think that in DC's mind everything is ok, as long as he's drawing new stuff for the game. It's up to his patreons to see if that's enough or not.
