I was a patreon for over a year and to see the game have a remake before we even have a finished product hurts.
for years there was a good reason to defend him as he was always super slow from the beginning, it wasn't like he at some point changed his glacial ineffective ways. and he always came through in the end. and yeah maybe the excuses were flimsy and even stupid at times, but the point is he was always as lazy and that was the ride the supporters agreed to ride on.I love how there are still some people in this thread that are so hellbent on defending DC it sounds like they have only drank his ball sweat for last 5 years. He did fuckall in those 2 years. Ren'Py is the easiest game engine to work with. His coder/coders are literally just lying on their sweaty asses around collecting money.
bro what is it with that facial expression? does jenny have downs syndrom? why are her hands bigger than her head dude what is happeningDC seems to be the most productive member of his team

it was already bad when he stretched out the mafia plot to 3 updates over 18? months instead of just one. its like he is doing everything in his power to avoid making the Rhonda storySome people can notice the one spark that starts a fire. Some people can't see the fire in front of them.
Good for you. I saw this dynamic even before the tech update, it was clear to me that DC was burned out of this project a long time ago.

but this, this time is different. there's no excuse for this. clearly there's been no work done in years and this was just a panic update with 2 weeks of work at best. the usual case before devs go awol for good.
As of 12 hours ago he HAD almost 32k subsSome people can notice the one spark that starts a fire. Some people can't see the fire in front of them.

According to these graphs, normal gaps are around 4k-5k monthly subs. DC has about 30k since the beginning of the month, so at this rate it's safe to assume at least 34k subs by the end of the month. My guess is: It will probably be more than less, but it all depends on how happy the community is with the rework. It seems that this update had a paywall (correct me if I'm wrong), so it probably contributed to these figures to some extent. Next month's graph will show more accurate information.
So his patreons voted for this? There's some real monkey paw shit right there. Just seems like something that big or take this long shouldn't be left up to fans. Character development and storylines are fine, but under the hood additions and new modes should be saved after the games story and characters are filled in.HELL NO
He made bimonthly updates back in 2016, then he made monthly updates, then he made every 2 months updates, then he made quarterly updates then... then patrons voted for the tech update.
So no, this time is not different: there never were excuses for anything at all.
DC always gives subscribers 24 hours official access before public release. So, yes, to an extent you are correct. Nearly all developers see an initial bump upon a new release - even if it's straight to public access.It seems that this update had a paywall (correct me if I'm wrong), so it probably contributed to these figures to some extent.
So?As of 12 hours ago he HAD almost 32k subs

Hope he chokes as he spirals down the bowl
That's the opposite. The goose is alive and well.I gave up on this game a long time ago. I just don't understand why people kill their golden goose.
They definitely didn't vote for this. They voted for "tech update - complete overhaul guys, but don't worry: it will take 2-3 months only. Pinky promise".So his patreons voted for this? There's some real monkey paw shit right there.
He repeatedly tried to sell it before it got okayed and the poll that decided it was basically "3~5 months work, better art and updates will be able to come out faster afterwards"So his patreons voted for this? There's some real monkey paw shit right there.
31 days ago he had 4 thousand less subs. Patreon always dips at the beginning of every month for larger creators - it has to do with when people subscribe (for most subscribers their subscriptions renew on the day they subscribe) and soft-declines (their paypal or cc or debit doesn't have funds or need reauthorized), and over the course of the month the numbers increase.As of 12 hours ago he HAD almost 32k subs
