I could be wrong, but it always seemed that DC was ahead of the schedule with his art, and that most of the progress was being bottlenecked by coding and posing. I have been continuously baffled by this long wait ever since I learned Ren'Py myself, because I simply can't fathom what warrants this much coding effort.
I don't know about that. If that's the case, can anyone explain why the old Debbie art is in the game at all? What did he do on his art streams? Wallpapers, please?
Tbh my interest isn't that high about it but all in all i'm happy that the game isn't dead yet. It could be in two months or they can surprise positively in the same time frame. I'll just wait, it doesn't cost me anything to just watch what next update will deliver before despair.
The game is dead for a lot of people, dead for a long time. A lot of people waited long enough and weren't positively surprised in the 2 year time frame. Many people have long forgotten that this game even exists. Waiting doesn't cost you anything if you're not a supporter, but in this case it doesn't give you anything ether.
If you don't believe that next update could be at least decent why are you even here?
A lot of people had forgotten this game even existed. The abandoned tag on this forum didn't help much, but this "update" was a great reminder.
What other people like to do with their money should not be your concern in any way. And i write this while i never ever considered to give even a penny for STS and not even being a diehard fan of the game. I just read briefly about it when it comes up on "Latest updates" section on f95 because it was one of my first (if not my first) adult game i played. Just chill.
You're being hypocritical. You're basically contradicting yourself.
Because if you say that what other people do with their money shouldn't be your concern. Then what other people care about shouldn't be your concern either.
So why are you telling other people what they should or should not worry about?

Wow supposed to be a tech update, effectively restarting the game and charging for content that they already made. Completely lost it.

i have no vested interest in this game, but im mad on behalf of the people who DO and mad at the incompetance of the devs. ive not been scammed by an indian phone operator, but i still dont like them because they scam people. ive not been assaulted by anyone but i still dislike people who do assault people because its bad. taking 500k a year from people and giving them nothing in return is bad. i dislike it. im happy to wait, but 500k a year of peoples money has been taken from them and they wont ever get it back. its BAD.

just because it doesnt affect me doesnt mean its not bad
Tbh patreon doesn't work like that. People don't pay for the game, they pay to support the dev. If they don't like what the dev is doing they can opt out anytime. If a lot of people keep paying is because they still like what dev is doing. Being scammed by an indian phone operator is a total different matter and is basically like being robbed on the street (just with less physical violence involved), people giving money over patreon aren't being robbed. They gives money by their will like many people do each week at church. Are they stupid? I don't think so, they just do what they like, but even if they were i don't think it's my problem. When you pledge these devs on patreon you don't get any long term promise that they broke not delivering updates, it's clearly stated in the website what you will get and it's usually things in the very short term (until next payment). So no, i don't think people are getting scammed, they just have questionable spending behaviors but it's totally a their issue and not something i should care of.

I'm curious about the 8-10 people that always defend DarkCookie here and exchange likes with each other posts.
Were are they?
Are they sleeping or are very busy moderating the game's discord?

If i were a supporter i would have been happy over the things the devs was doing at least until the last month when i renewed my support. If people doesn't stop paying means they are happy about that (especially because this update isn't late by a month or two, we are talking of years, there is no chance that people didn't notice that) or they just like to waste money. Why i should care if someone is happy about something doesn't make me happy or even worse if they like to burn out money for no reason? I'm happy for them in the first case, i totally don't care in the latter.

Somewhere Begger of the Net is looking on with a tear in his eye and a smile, saying: "What a hero, someday I'll be just like Dark Cookie"

So after two years all content was removed except two questlines which we can now enjoy in widescreen.

Heh. I was under the impression that after two years everything would be finished but now everyone's going to be waiting for the same old content just put in a different resolution. Oh, I guess they may or may not have some new scenes slipped in.

Ain't that some shit.

this guy actually does not understand why people are mad and its shocking. its like paying for a new car and they say "yea wait a few months for us to build it" and then you wait TWO YEARS and just get a set of wheels and an old beat up engine and are told "HERE IT IS!!! ISNT IT GREAT??!"
But what you won't understand is that you don't buy the car on patreon, you have the car for free in any case, you should give some money out of your will to the car manufacturer because you feel like to support their work. But yeah, it's "shocking" that i understand how a patreon work, i know. :ROFLMAO:

That's whay you pay for if you give devs money:
  • Early access releases
  • Private download servers
  • Bug Tracker access
  • Development Roadmap access
  • Wiki edit permissions
  • Stream archive access
  • Unique Discord role (PatronCookieDough)
  • Access to crowd sourced translations tool
Nothing more, nothing less. The game isn't included in the perks of the patreon because it's free.
