Some of you guys go out of your way to show how computer illiterate you are. lol

When the tech update was first announced it was clearly laid out that what he was doing is rebuilding the entire game. How are any of you surprised that this is what happened unless you didn't understand a word of the explanation for the tech update?

Yeah, rebuilding the source code from scratch means that every part of the game has to be rebuilt too.

On the coding side, this game is basically a new game now. You can't just copy-paste an old game's code base into a new game's code base and hit a compile button. That's not how software development works. lol
It doesn't take two years to code the introduction to a VN in Python.

Holy shit, people just love to throw hate for no reason at all... I'm sure most of those who complain here never paid a single penny for this game or any other. Just enjoy the update if you want it or just ignore it, it's an update of a beloved game, instead of enjoy it, people just love to throw bilis... It's not disapointig, it's just sad...

No wonder being a developer can become such a depressive work... Free players are never gonna be happy, no matter what the dev does...
yeah yeah we saw you DarkCookie

The resolution upgrades are great, and so are the little new CGs for a few old scenes.

Though, I really want to know why doesn't the game have any SFX to this date. I haven't been following any development since 0.18, so has this been addressed already?

To add insult to injury, 0.21 has even removed the little amount of songs the game always had, such as the menu and the map songs. Why? Do they have any plans to add more later?

I won't really comment on the releasing schedule, everything's been said already. But not having any sounds at all always held STS back imo, and still does.

This release because the new policy of Patreon lol, tag abandon will appear when the game not posted any news since last update 2 weeks or any new version every 2 months. They start to have a fear that they will lose their job if continue talk shit with no update

As someone mostly out of the loop, was there any prior communication this was going to do this drip feed thing of re-releasing older content like this? If not that is nuts.

And did they give any estimate of just how many of these two month releases there are going to be before it's caught up?

The problem itself isn't exactly with how long it takes. The main issue many of us take with it(myself included), is the overwhelming amount of money he gets every month. Considering there is over 31 thousand paying members... many of which have the higher tier on patreon unlocked... It is safe to assume that average patronage each month from all the patrons equals to roughly... 3-4 USD? That's a huge amount of money each month for basically no work done in two years of waiting while DC keeps hoarding more and more money.
