Really cool tech, but I agree it looked weird.
I very much prefer static, high quality 2D backgrounds.

So, since the Dudes restarted delivering the "tech update episodes" and restoring content we had:
1st delivery: Jenny's update
2nd delivery: Teacher's update - but Miss Dewitt's quest is NOT complete
3rd delivery: Debbie part I
4th delivery: Debbie part II
5th delivery: Debbie part III
So, in 8 months they weren't "able" to deliver the whole teacher's quest and Debbie's.
Now I'm thinking about the guys who are waiting for the end of the road and Ronda's, Judith's and Annie's updates - which are supposed to be the next "new content" updates...
that's a long and windy road ahead, man.

Honestly, yeah, got blindsided.
I really like the way you implemented yours though. Really elegant way of replacing just the necessary words from the dialogue.
Thank you. I try to make it as flexible as possible to handle all the different relational situations.Honestly, yeah, got blindsided.

Since I am not a native English speaker, I really appreciate the work you and others put in to create believable dialogue.
That shit is not easy/trivial, and really helps me focus more on the technical side of things.
I must also say that mod development kinda burns you out on the game itself.
Especially when there's little to no feedback, so you spend a lot of time testing alone, going through the same dialogue again and again looking for errors.
Simply enjoying the game is not possible for me anymore, heh.

Kids are so spoiled now. Back in my day the Pony Express had to deliver the first release of this game.

Congrats, bro.Dude..it's been a long time... so long that I'm even getting married, thanks Cookie for Nothing
When I first played this game I had no girlfriend and no money. Today, I still have neither. Amazing.

what i‘m wondering, what was he doing the two or so years before where there was no update at all? just the 16:9 background art?

Prolly just fuckin around. DC's got guaranteed paychecks. No boss breathing down his neck. No requirements. No deadlines. Some people need to be pushed or they become lazy & complacent.

Yup he's made a ton of money, as much as some larger studios would make. At a point it was revealed he was making an excess of 100k/month, to put into perspective, that's 1.2 million per year and he's been at it since 2016.

Little of what you have said is the truth. Yup, he's been at it since before 2016, earning money on Patreon since 2016.
DC and his team have made a fuckton of bank - but you can simply use the truth rather than falsehoods and hyperbole. The amount of money is a drop in the buck what larger studios make. That's a ridiculous claim. He and the team have never brought in more than $100,000 per month - data easily shown below:
Their best month (up until recently?) was just above $80,000 for a month ... Quite ample. Didn't last long - maybe a year in the high $70s?
If their subscriber average $$ remained about the same as the year or so prior to their earnings no longer being public, you're still looking at around $70k to $85k per month for the last couple of months.
Again, big money. Huge money. You don't need to pump it up - just tell the truth.
God, don't we all wish we could do what we love for a living, make fuckton bank, and not have a boss breathing down our necks? Guy figured it out, didn't he? Even though he sucks at project management - he hit paydirt with what he loves doing at just the right time, didn't he?
I wish the same for all of us, instead of being cynical about it.
I appreciate your tireless efforts keeping this thread somewhat sane Count Morado, as I have very little tolerance for people endlessly complaining myself.
Do I wish the tech update be done faster?
Sure.
Could the tech update be done faster?
I'm not so sure.
The tech update has been a monumental task for the team, and it was completely necessary.
The original game was barely held together by a patchwork of spaghetti code from different coders and experience.
Hell, I started working on my mod for the 0.20.16 version, and just clicking through the dialogue would slow/lag if I wasn't extremely careful with my programming. Just poorly optimized, with very little overhead.
The tech update however, is just on another level.
Most of the released work till now is under the hood stuff, that sadly goes unappreciated.
It's definitely not just swapping to 16x9 backgrounds with the devs mostly sitting on their asses.
I love this game.
I want it to succeed.
I want the devs to succeed.
It will take some time, but new content will come.
In the mean time I will play other games, watch a movie/show, spend time with friends and family, and create content for my mod/this game.
I just won't waste my time complaining.

Okay, this I gotta know. What's a 'larger studio' that actually gets by with 1.2 million a year?
A small indie where someone is actually in charge and makes people work on shit. All that to say, for what he's making DC shouldve hired some helping hands to get the project moving a little faster. I know the grift is that he keeps making money as long as its never done, but he couldve been in a situation where all these whales are more than happy to keep funding his next projects. Could've made a lot of games like this, and some of them couldve been even better.

count morado doesnt spend time with other games, watch a movie/show, spend time with friends and family.... he spends 24/7 on this site. he is king of jerk off town. just look at his posts log. he is on here all day long. posting over 500 times a month.
I hope that if we can all do what we want that we can actually fucking deliver on what we do instead of whatever the fuck this has been. Maybe he does need a boss.
when will this game finally be finished?
It's been 9 years since the first post. And I have the impression that the authors are taking money from naive people and will never finish it, but will endlessly improve, improve and improve it.
