Back when DC announced they planned to rework Debbie's content over the course of two by monthly updates, I knew immediately things weren't going to go to plan. Especially as he said they were also going to add an extra 20% of new content on top of what was already there. Four months was never going to be enough for this.
Diane's update took four months and had only seven lewd scenes, only one of which was actual sex. This was the first character rework using the new art style and body rigging/posing system which DC had claimed would help speed up development allowing him to create more lewd content, of a higher quality, at a faster rate. This was one of the reasons why the update was so poorly received.
This is so often the problem with DC and why people have grown to despise him, he constantly promises more, then delivers less. In addition many of these promises are vague enough to allow him wiggle room when he again under delivers. Take the latest update as a perfect example, when DC announced Debbie's rework he claimed it would be delivered in two parts - he just never said one of those parts would contain almost nothing. He then claims he only needed four more days and there would have been more content. Whilst I have no evidence, I don't believe this. He could have easily put up a poll (he does for everything else afterall) asking whether people wanted to wait four more days. He could even release a small patch (call it a hotfix) a week later with the content, but he won't. Now it turns out the whole thing is likely going to take longer than first promised.
Going by how fast (or how slow) DC works, it seems like it would take him at least 8 months to rework all Debbie's existing content to a higher quality and add and extra 20% on top. But hey, I hope I'm wrong. Although personally I'd be happy for him to pump out Debbie content for the next 8 years, Debbie, Diane, and Jenny are literally the only thing I like about Summertime Saga. Once they're finished with, I'm out. And therein lies another problem, the scope of this game is so big now that it's become a horse designed by committee, or rather a horse designed to appeal to a committee. In an effort to rope in people (or more accurately, patrons) from every race, sexual orientation, and fetish DC has created a litany of characters, most of which have little to no content. I'm personally disappointed with how little content Debbie, Jenny, and especially Diane have amassed over the last EIGHT years, but I can't even imagine what it must feel like to be a Judith enjoyer. By the time she gets any meaningful content, you guy's dicks (and brains, and hearts) will have stopped functioning.
Anyway, after all that I hope DC reworks Diane next lol. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
