Is there any way not to play the game again, after the update?

Yeah, don't download it.

 

[AlexLudwig]

Yeah, don't download it.

Not funny tho. U're not helpful

As of now, no, except you'll wait a bit and find a save that's fitting.

On the other hand there's likely no need to replay that much old content anyway and you can just focus on the new story and irgore most of the old stuff.

Isnt that the whole point of her character(the staying in the background to drool after the MC bit)?
She is supposed to be a play on that eternal teen movie clichee,isnt she?

I'm sure it's not going to be eternal though. We've seen a bit of development in Ms. Ross' story and as far as I'm aware DC said her story will be about her getting more confident, etc.

But of course we'll see how much she's going to change in the end.

 

[exirock]

few more days and probably the update is released. :biggrin:

 

[kaken]

they propably wait for next month cash must be right

 

[DonJulio123]

so at the end of the day this will probably take even longer than the teachers update

 

[Pattitto00]

If the 95% comments ppl here are of "free" users, I can't ever imagine on the patreon website, sure It's burning like hell.

Maybe It's just my oppinion but If I was one of the 10$ patreons after pledging 30$ just Waiting I would very dissapointed.

Around 2 weeks ago someone was ranting about how they'll release it at the end of the month or next month for whatever reason. Back then I chuckled, now I'm fearful it may end up this way. Even if it's because of the lack of animations, it's really frustrating to see the development usually trickle on with a steady pace, only to come to a screeching halt at the very last step because something is wrong again.

sometimes those ranting madmen are correct.

you remembered me of the Mad Prophet,a boss from Darkest Dungeon,he does the same thing,shouts lots of mad guesses that end up turning reality....

Stand out as character man,untill now her only hook are her inverted nipples(since huge boobs aren't exactly rare in Summerville)

Isnt her stereotype part of the hook though?
You know,the whole "bland best friend of the opposite sex the MC always ignored"-clichee that turns up in any teen romance movie ever.
Really no clue how you could change that without eliminating the neccessary bland part(and boy that she is,so...mission accomplished?).
Or what exactly do you mean?Just more unique appearance traits?

I'm sure it's not going to be eternal though. We've seen a bit of development in Ms. Ross' story and as far as I'm aware DC said her story will be about her getting more confident, etc.

But of course we'll see how much she's going to change in the end.

She is actually one of the more developed girls(aside from the Ross bit we also have all the bullying "hints" and her little stalker park episode).
Well to be frank,I have no clue of what to do with such a character,bland is in her character description(if I pinged DC´s intentions right anyway)and I seriously have no clue how to endear such a character to the player outside of guilt tripping.
Maybe DC really should just have merged her with June.

yeah,but she is so bland that no one wants to vote on her,back to when i was still pledging to DC,i voted on her in a poll for next content,and she got 7 vote,counting with me....kinda sad eh?
Her participation on Ross questline kinda fits in what could i say,DC trying to see if her popularity rises a little(just as Civil War tried to revive that certain Captain popularity) and people gets more interest in seeing anymore content for her.
The biggest problem is that everything she could have to call some more attention from the public,is so weakly inserted on her that any other character who bear any similarity fill better,she could be the simple shy girl who likes the MC,but Mia beats her so bad that she already have her own content.Ok,she could be the nerdy/geeky girl,there's still that,but June got that role designed on her character,so yeah,not this time Judith,but maybe we could put her on the bullieds team,however,her bullies(the Latinas) are way inferior on that role that MC and Erik bullies(that are Dexter and Roxxy)....so yeah,she is the bland girl,but even the bland girl needs one characterist who attracts the attention of the public,and until now Judith only have inverted nipples and cant wear bras.....just that....(oh there is her obssession for the MC)

Exactly,which is why I have no clue what one could do with her.
Everything that traditionally has been used to endear such a character to the consumer(outside of tailoring the whole narrative around her being the better choice alas that would completely go against SS´s harem intention)is already done better by other characters.
I suppose DC could give her a specific sexual trait that distinguishes her(like exhibitionism,which plays well with her low confidence and the Ross storyline,though Eve seems to have covered that already)but thats kinda shallow for one of the main girls.

Glad to see people are starting to see what i've been saying.

I think there's quite a bit of potential in her character. First there are really some who like her being a bit chubby and given that there's quite a bit to fix in her lifestyle it would be quite appealing to see and help her grow, to overcome the bullying and shine a bit. After all that makes her story somewhat unique since Mia (who has some issues with her family but that's it) and June (who is basically a happy nerd as she is) are pretty different in that regard. I'm not even sure if June will get a full story given that she was introduced this late and has only a minor role.

 

[DTFU]

Here's what DC said in the last hour on discord for those who want to know:

"AE is almost done, been working with him this morning to wrap up the last anim. They look great! Sometimes animations can take a while"
"It can be hard to work a freelance schedule/workload. I think in future updates I could try and split the workload with another animator etc."
"We're still finding bugs, so in a way, it's fine if anim takes a bit longer. I'm preparing 0.17 and making assets for the next update. The only downside is people have to wait a bit loinger to fap to roxxy. But in the big picture SS is getting more content continuously and polishing the gameplay/code along."

Yeah she has potential,but only that,and without a nice or remarking characteristic on her,she hardly will get voted on...

Well, someone has to be "last" and in the end there'll always be more and less popular characters. I mean it's not that she won't get her story if people don't vote, she'll just get it later. In the end it's going to be hard to make her more attractive at the moment without actually spoiling her whole story.

The only downside is people have to wait a bit loinger to fap to roxxy. But in the big picture SS is getting more content continuously and polishing the gameplay/code along."

Which I think is the most important sentence. In the end it doesn't really matter when an update gets released as long as DC keeps drawing all the time (even though it's of course an inconvenience).
