You're going to be waiting a long, long time then. At this point it's going to be years until completion. I'd understand waiting for a few versions, as the Diane and Jenny updates seem like they'll change a decent amount of the current content and make replaying more interesting.

Yeah the moment I posted that I realised this is a long term project. No doubt this is the devs fulltime career and if he's making awesome money then its obvious it will be drawn out for as long as possible. Not that thats a bad thing as long as his content remains to be top notch. I'm hoping his animations get better by V2 which is when I will probably try it again.

I actually don't think so to be honest. DC is already looking forward to the next project and even considered adding a patreon goal which would including hiring someone to start working on the next game's engine and basics. So yes, the game will certainly last for quite a while but I don't think he's going to stretch it longer than he thinks makes sense (which certainly will be quite some time, given that the game isn't even 1/3 done right now). Of course there's always some hope for later addons even after the game is finished. DC himself will certainly be around for a very long time.

Hey guys, I like the preview images, but some people might not want to see them due to spoiling and that kind of stuff. Please put them inside spoiler tags.

Most of what has been posted here in the last few days is fan art and not part of the game.

I think that Crawdaddy's point is to allow most people to decide if they want to be spoiled or not by posting most are coming from streams in spoilers and giving people a heads up about this.

When is 0.16 coming out?!:

Ahh, yes. The ultimate question. Well, the progress bar is showing an accurate state of development so you should keep an eye on it! We've done quite a bit of work so far, but there's still some heavy scenes/quests left to finish (Which we are working on and will be very good, I promise!). This update is slightly larger than the previous one, so it's too hard to predict exactly when it will be ready but feel free to hop on our Discord server to find out more!

Didn't you say you were switching to upfront payments?:

Yeah well, despite the majority of Patrons voting positively for the change (90%+), Patreon hasn't given us the option to switch to upfront payment yet (they won't reply to my emails, typing is hard). So that will be on hold for a while until we get access to it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How are the new Patreon rewards going?:

It's going great! Sam's been revamping our site layout to allow for all those new features/rewards and we're making sure everything will be smooth!

Here's some examples of what we're doing >>>

The only thing holding these back from being used is that we planned on having them linked to the upfront payment method (read above) but we don't have access to that setting yet for some reason so... Anyway. We may release these rewards anyways until then but they really work best if we know people who have access to them are not spam bots and real Patrons supporting us. We'll update you on all that soon.

What happened to all the old video recordings of streams?:

The stream library on youtube had to be set to private due to being flagged by youtube too many times for inapropriate content. So we're going to be hosting all the video library on our site and not have to deal with YT anymore. It will be part of the new website layout and re-design!

Have you been adding new artists to the team?:

Yes - In fact we've been getting a lot of help with animation this update, and I plan on using an artist to help with some backgrounds in the future (after 0.16).

Are you adding new goals?:

Users have been asking for additional goals and it's been an internal debate as to where the resources should be allocated as we reach more goals. Adding more devs to manage doesn't seem to be the right course as I would end up having to micro manage the team too much and slow down my work output (and we're starting to hit a pretty good pace for update making). So, I may get an extra coder to begin work on the next project after SS. Get him/her to lay down a foundation for the game that won't require me to spend much time supervising and allows us to have a good base for when SS is completed. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this!

Love,

DC

(P.S. - I will most likely do less daily streams after this week in order to wrap up the update as the last remaining content to make is spoiler heavy and can't be shown during streams. Just a heads up!)
