Keep it on topic people, or you risk pissing the mods and getting this thread purged and locked.

Did not know that. :O Just knew he was an artist, but I didn't know he used to be in the industry prior to SS. Then again, I've only been a patron for a couple of months, and haven't really had the time to check out much of anything except a couple of his streams.

You just never know what tidbit you might pick up during the streams, he also used to know people at BioWare before they became BiowEAr, and all the good people quit. He started this to learn some Python, so that's why the older code sucks to hard, and why it's having to be redone before saves will work, and work better, and so on. I mean, I am just happy the saves are about 1/10 the size they used to be.

No shit :O Going to have to start hanging around in the streams more, only caught two so far and both were quick visits.
I do like that DC is very interactive with his patrons though, a lot of devs interact with their patrons but can't think of any who'll do it on a level like DC. That being said, SS is only my second game that I've become a patron to, so can't claim much direct experience with many other devs.

My bad, I'm very new at this. I forgot that new versions didnt allow for old save files. My apologies for not reading through 1k+ pages. Apparently the version I played was a lot older than it thought, as I dont recall A LOT of he content I've seen in searching this versions changes. I also remember the diverging story lines of Mia/Helen and Mrs Johnson/Erik/June. Since I'm unfamiliar with a lot of new content, would you mind telling me if there is any other missable content, so I'm at least mildly prepared?

You didn't miss much, in fact: 4 school teachers; Roxxy, her friends and her mom; MC's mom reworked; 2017 Halloween update maybe? (Captn Terry's quest).


btw, you can find a change-log in the OP.

I don't care about the update being late, since it doesn't prevent dc from working on the art, which is the bottleneck. However, I'm incredibly disappointed that DC doesn't hire another artist to help him. He works 2 hours a day the on art creation, and it gives us 3 updates a year... It's simply not enough content for me to continue spend funds on this.

He hired another artist, in fact. I think he made some backgrounds for the upcoming Jenny's update.

 

[zigzagon]

i feel that, when .17 will be released f95z just gonna blow, people are waiting for it so much and m2 XD.

I have theory that dc support #nonutnovember, thats why he troll status bar, but that is just my theory.

 

[Watermeloncillo]

Please DC, release it this weekend. I´m in front of my PC waiting like this

 

[sipi]

Please DC, release it this weekend. I´m in front of my PC waiting like this

[Beatrix Kiddo]

Sheit what a the hell happened in here, it seems I missed a nice one. Well, I have no popcorn anyways.

New nun Angelica is looking hot btw, almost as hot as new master Somrak haha.

I think one of the main factors is that DC doesn't really want to let go of anything that's important art wise as long as it's not 100% as he wants it. I think DC mentioned that there's not much to do background wise when it comes to Jenny's update and for 0.17 he did quite a few of them himself on stream himself ... which does make sense, given that backgrounds have been one thing he was always able to stream without spoiling too much.

In the end he changes his mind about those things over time. About a year ago for example he was talking about hiring an assistant who would then cut and adapt those old sprites for a potential new rig system. Now he decided to redraw and actually improve those characters himself. That's of course a nice improvement for the game's quality but a substancial loss of time.

I'm somewhat convinced that at this moment he doesn't really want anybody else to draw the art but himself. I don't really blame him for that since it's his game after all and the art is by far the most important part of it.

i like how ou dont consider that a lot of content lmao

 

[halil123]

So what can we expect from this update? Aunt only?

 

[Marzapane]

It is, I am not complaining about the time it takes for the development of SS, but in one day, maximum two, you could pay all that content.

Let's not forget that SS right now has much more content than most games on patreon will ever reach even when they are finished, except some RPG maker/trainer games, maybe.

 

[strenif]

Maybe it just wasn't the content he wanted to see?

I know for me, the Jenny patch getting pushed back after the patreon mess soured the roxy update. Not trashing that update. It was well done, I was just hyped about Jenny.

 

[wopwop]

Don't care, still waiting for Half Life 3

I'm pretty sure DC simply hadn't decided at that point how he wants to move on with those new patreon rules. His first impulse was to stop everything incest related and create other content until he finds an alternative to patreon. As there's really no viable alternative available he went back to his old plans and went along with those changes.

Substancial loss of time in SS's development = more cash in his pocket without releasing any update. Easy and simple.

For anyone not watching the dev updates lately, there's a huge amount of work getting done rn. So respect and happy holidays to the devs!
