He is Sick every week
It's an excuse he uses in order not to work
He'll continue working on the game during the week he's off sick, just not on stream, and that's where I think the problem lies.
It's my opinion that DC is burnt out from streaming, more so than he is from working on the game. The updates he's been putting out (tech updates) aren't really seen as anything worthwhile to people here, because most of it is content that isn't readily seen, or is playable. The phone update for example, is pretty much worthless to the vast majority of players, who wanted new playable stories, sex scenes etc. when all you got was write ups of all of the characters bios, plus new full body shots of them in dressed and undressed states, after you complete their stories.
It didn't make the work any less a daunting a task to complete, it just wasn't anything most would notice, or even care about. The Debbie update that's upcoming will also be panned by most of the players because again, it's old content that's cleaned up for the revised game. There'll be a few new scenes to go along with the pretty pictures, but again, most will find it lacking.
The only way people will not piss and moan, is if DC scraps all of the new work he's focused on, puts all of the old, shit looking art back, and just focuses solely on the new content. And we all know that's not going to happen.
As far as I'm concerned, the streaming is for the Patreon customers, who seem to enjoy spending their time in the streams, talking with him as well as each other.
I don't think DC or the Patreon supporters give a shit about anyone here and their gripes about not getting things faster.
