Dark Cookie is already the top creator in terms of money, do you think he really cares about the money, especially when there is extra pressure added because of it?

No not the money, I'm saying by releasing more regularly (on a schedule), he'll introduce his game to a lot more people. Word of mouth is everything. The money allows him to work full time on the game rather than working two jobs. Money is just one measurement of success. BUT money obviously plays a major part otherwise Developers wouldn't be SO worried about pleasing Patroen. Mr Dots was so freaked out that he suspended his Patroen page for a short time.
Also I'm saying that creating so many story-lines means that the older stories are almost abandoned. It took FOREVER for DC to advance the Roxy story, and She's his avatar! Judith's story has pretty much stopped, but he's adding more teachers? What about h-scene with Mrs Bissette? Or how about "monster girl". What?
DC can Introduce new characters BUT he needs to complete existing stories. Once a story is complete, make it accessible but only if you want to repeat 'fap" scenes.

DC is kind of unpredictable or his progress bar is misleading. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think artwork is the most time consuming so it takes the longest. Once he's done I believe posing and code are much quicker processes so they can knock it out a lot faster.
So to answer your question, using past performance as a gauge; I'd guess 3 weeks out. So a week into April. BUT really it's just an educated guess. I could take a full month depending on how much they drag their feet.

Having to go through the past few pages and delete dozens on top of dozens of stupid posts about Patreon being an investment vs a donation and other stupid arguments makes me beary beary annoyed. Lets stop with all these stupid Patreon scam artist arguments bruhs unless you'd like to see how quickly I can click the thread ban button.
Pretty Plz.

I think it's safe to assume even if they themselves are too nervous to release a patch on here, (I did suggest lewdpatcher but they won't even hint towards using it). The modding community here will probably restore the original content. Or, at least most of it.

DC doesn't have two jobs, just SS. And a H-scene with Bissette is coming with 0.15.

Yeah, this screenshot isn't of a stream from only 4 days ago.
It totally wasn't.

That's horseshit. How many times has he redrawn the map? The school? Added a third floor? I get that is how a game expands and that's fine. But don't piss on my shoes and tell me it's raining. He does loads of things twice. The whole 14.5 update was him doing things twice.

She'll get a role in the next update so you can't know that.
He obviously has to add things to the map update by update because else people like you would complain that he's doing things that aren't necessary right now (as you did in the same post).
And none of the things you mentioned were done twice. The school got added rooms, lockers etc. but almost nothing was redrawn just as map got added content but nothing old that's meant to stay was changed (though the map is a bit of a special case anyway since it's been there since day 1). The same goes by the way for 14.5 - he reused every bit of old mom content and only added to the game. Or do you remeber any art that was lost, changed or not reused?
Edit: By the way, talking to you is rather unpleasant and if you want more or less serious answers words like horseshit and piss are certainly not that productive.
I think there are two ways to create a game on patreon when it comes to introducing characters. Either you do it like DC and add almost all the characters you want to have very early on which leads to a vivid world but has the huge drawback that quite a few characters won't get real content for a very long time (or to be more precise until patreons vote for them, which is why for example Judith and others don't get the update). The alternative would be do to things like KST did in the "The Twist" and start with only 2 or 3 characters, elaborate them and then add more while always adding a little content to each character in every update. The drawback of that is a very sterile world, a story which is somewhat static and hasn't completed arcs, a smaller group of people who will be attracted by different characters and fewer fetishes that can be teased. In the end one always has to find a compromise - sadly.

Funny that you say so.
Eric's Poker "minigame" was drawn in December 2016 and had different characters available but this hasn't been implemented yet, even after Eric's mom update.
You can't invite anyone despite the art for other characters (at least Rhonda and the school monitor girl are drawn) being ready.
Back before Sister's update, DC ran out of things to draw because the art was ready (said that himself), yet the coders delayed the update released for over 3 weeks. When the update was released, the coders names were removed from the page.
Now, the update is further delayed, of course Patreon has its faults, but still, this update still hasn't seen the light despite 3 months over and even before the "patreon takedown" the update was still not halfway done.
In the meantime, we saw in the streams characters that had nothing to do with the update being drawn naked (Eve, Rhonda and the Principal) or doing poses that probably aren't going to be featured. And don't say they're going to play a role those drawings, because we know it's not true, the characters like Eve, Judith, the Principal and Rhonda will have their own update.
DC is a professional and skilled, he's capable of drawing quickly and well, i give him too much credit to think otherwise.
Actually, DC said that a lot of the girls of the school will get something lewd even in this update.

It's important to make a disctinction here. The streams are part of his support and people pay to see them, so quite a few (including me) would be mad if he just wouldn't stream for a long time or just do really boring content for weeks.
And yes, there's quite a bit of unused art because of those streams right now but as you say yourself it's not like it won't be used at some point or maybe even this update since almost every important character will have a role in those teacher's quests (just like Roxxy got her shower scene at some point even though it wasn't her update). I'd wait to see what we'll actually get in the end.
So yes, some of it may be wasted time for next time but it's not wasted time for overall developement of the game.
I'd agree that coding and posing seems awfully slow from time to time but given that the limiting factor since quite a while is the speed of DC's drawings it doesn't really matter for the overall progress. I can understand that people get angry though. DC said himself that the code of the game was/is a bit of a mess but since he finally hired someone now to improve that things may get a little faster.
Yeah, only the teachers will get proper h-scene (one for each of them), but some minor scenes will be with the students.

The last art task is a bunch of stuff for Principal Smith, DC talked about it a couple days ago.
[/QUOTE]
Of course not. It's a huge update, mentioned in stream today as more than double the size of any previous update.

Considering even Mia's update was not that big after all, I'm not going to be surprised if this one will be the same size.
