WTF in two weeks 0.19 progress jump from 55% to 56% ?
only 1 % progress in 14 Days !?!? what's going on...
This time i thought DC will not make such bs like the last updates, progress bar progressed much fast then old updates but now this fraudster campaign continues.

To explain, DC was for a week on vacation. He streamed again from Tuesday

I have the same problem. Has someone a idea?
It's not quick, but for me it's not getting slower and slower. Can take 10 seconds, though. Normally it's quicker. But I am not sitting here with a watch to take mesurements ;)

I remember I had the same issue that loading got slower and slower. But I have a new Notebook, now. So it could be better in the furture. Even my first SSD. But I think I will play the game again from a Ramdisk.

Since a savegame has about 400 kilobytes only, I bet it will make absolutely no difference if you have an SSD, HDD or RAM disk. It loads in a split second, and then renpy has to do it's calculations. That part is slow.

So did DC die or what?
Yes. DC doesn't eat or sleep, he doesn't go outside, or talk to his family, he just draws a whole bunch of porn and nothing else. So when he's not seen to be working 100% of the time, we can only assume that he died. So yeah, he's fucking dead. He's dead fucking. He's so fucking dead that he went on a vacation, came back and started working again two days ago. He's uber fucking dead.

I can fully understand that people are unhappy that the time between big updates is so long. But there is no reason to be unrespectful.

I think one or few colorists/artists would be surely helpful to speedup his work.

For everything else DC has already a big team. And I can only wish DC making as much money (and a fantastic game) as possible!

Best way is to put the game aside and look after some other games or hobbies, so the waiting will not be sooo hard. :)

By now there's a on their wiki which shows all the dates. Else I'd agree that they are probably aiming for Halloween, so they can introduce a bit of Halloween content as well.
This I feel is really interesting to take a look over.

You could see how the release dates lenghtened once the scope of each update increased.
Early on you have rapid-fire updates that add very little in terms of actual additions, only the basic things like characters which (while detailed) did not go after the layered body system that is now more commonly used but were instead full drawings and had very little in terms of interaction. Systems were put into place to track stats like money, your inventory - that kind of stuff.
Once this was in place he expanded upon that and worked more scenes and dialogues into it, still just giving small additions to dialogue and story parts or just introducing more characters before changing what and how to update: rather than doing tidbits here and there he was instead working on whole chunks in one big update respectively while also amping up the quality overall. This being either a characters revamp, like with Roxxy or revamps to locations like the School.

The bigger the area and/or characters scope, the longer the updates became because this is not just a linear path, but rather a whole interconnected web with locations and their respective characters in mind. Since it appears he wishes to put out entire character progressions/Location specific events playing out the updates turn out longer.
Just take a look at the amount of things done in the changelog for each respective update past v.0.14.5 - those changelogs become massive compared to the older ones: so big they even had to be broken down into their categories.

So, one can totally just go assume that the update cycle did get longer, because heck, they did BUT people need to also remember that the bigger updates still put in large amounts of additions that are befitting for the time invested for said update - some noticable on the forefront, some not so much.
While I personally enjoy having a nice big chunk to play in one sitting, this is now actually starting to grow too massive for my liking.
