I'm a web developer myself and you clearly have no idea of what you are talking about. I would say roughly 80% of the colleagues I've met really enjoy what they do, and would not do anything else for a living.
There are so many self taught youngsters, or more experienced people that achieve overwhelming projects, on their free time, for free, as a hobby. Hell, do you even know the principle of "open source software" ? Some, if not most, of these projects are free. The whole linux ecosystem is built on the work of people doing it by passion.
It's a shame people like you can be so ignorant and still blatantly giving their opinions on a subject they have no idea of.

I saw him working on the judith update (so he is FAR behind the tech update), he should realy hire a second coder (if the first is even on full time payment?) Its just a joke now...

Saw who working on the Judith update? If you mean DC, the Judith update is three updates in the future (Tech, Rhonda, Annie and then Judith). Why would that suggest he is "far behind?" Also, when streaming on Picarto - which do you think he believes fans want to see him drawing more? Backgrounds and other images for the tech update or content for a popular character? He can work on the boring tech update art off-stream.

Again, having more than one coder and the managing of more than one coder in the past is partially responsible for the reason why the code is in the shape it was and is undergoing a full revision/fix. A number of different people with a number of different coding styles creating a mishmash that the development team has let people know that it's a miracle it runs at all in its current form.

In his stream of course, an you do understand that game titles have coder rooms with 10, 20 ppl all working on the code of the game? And it works? Its just a question of coordination, so one coder should take othe overhead and deligate to the others what they should do, so it it is not a mess. And he should help out with posing, as he can do that with his skills. not working on art for an update wich is far in the future.

I asked "who" you saw and not "where." Okay, so you meant DC and he's not "FAR behind the tech update" but far ahead.

I understand what you are saying and I'm not disagreeing that teams of coders can work together with proper management. However, that didn't work well for DC in the past with the coding side. He also doesn't want to do it the way you want it done - that's one of the perks of being your own boss, you do it your way rather than answer to supervisors. His subscribers make their opinions known in various ways, including canceling their subscriptions if they want. They can still get the game whenever they want from his website just like the rest of us, at no cost.

tech update still ant drop been like 4 years or something ant it.

Almost 2 years and 8 months - and probably another half year or longer left before it does drop. If you're a subscriber, feel free to cancel if you don't want to continue - everyone who is has that option. When an update does drop, you can get it for free from his website if you still want it then.

When I was still actively modding this game I enjoyed exactly that. Plus the freedom of choice, of course, and the mixture of coding, art modding, game playing, which makes this project unique -- at least for a modder.

Here I am.
I am an embedded SW engineer and, as an hobby, I have fun designing my personal web application for a FantaCycling game I play with some my friends.
Solving technical issues provides a satisfaction feeling that is hard to explain to "muggles".

So I have said this before. Getting total Simbro vibes from this game
As a refresher. Simbro was this cool little flash game with a simple design and decent story.
The dev dies in a car accident and someone tried to string people along for months. Ironically it still has more paid subs than some active games on this site.

We are at a year out+ and nothing to show for it. This game would have to end up being better than biggest game release ever to make up for the pent up frustration of the cucks.. I mean subs to this game.

Such a sad end to a good game

It really is mate,my first and my favourite game...and it came down to this...I'm just sorry for the people giving this dude their money.

So I said to myself, I want to play through Summertime Saga again from the start, I'll just wait for the next content patch first.
So, that was 2 and a half years ago...

The sad thing is, then this new tech patch comes out (if)... It will be no new content just a tech update o_O so yeah if you are waiting for new content.. i think you can wait at least 2 more years...
