Adam, Bob and Chris are all playing Summertime Saga together.
Unexpectedly, the game stops posting update for years. Adam shouts in forum, "If the game does not update, I will stop my patreon support!" But the game doesn't update. Bob then shouts, "DC and his team are working hard, you have got lots of wallpaper!" But still the game doesn't update. Then Chris says, "Guys, guys, let's play older version, and pretend we just received the lastest update!"

David, who finds it odd that three guys sit around playing a lewd game together, goes off and does his own thing while not worrying if any game he finds on F95 ever updates - there are 16,000 different titles to enjoy, more than enough to keep him busy for half a lifetime. Even so, he can't help but marvel at the trainwreck of the forlorn crawling and flagellating themselves in the thread while they are moaning of the lack of updates and casting aspersions on the developer.

Funny and true at the same time. Long story short on at least 66% of the comments section, "Haters going to Hate". Come to think about it, Have the complainers made a free VN like Dark Cookie? I can't imagine how to would feel making such a rather large VN project like DC is doing; possibly coming here and seeing all the hate. Literally creating every background, and things by hand? Yeah, he uses programs, but still. It kind of makes them look even more like a cry baby. If he sees this, “You gotta keep on keepin' on. Life's a garden: dig it. You gotta make it work for you.”

Lol, 'making their own VN'. That's a good one. Nah, it's so much easier to just mooch and complain.

Progress for Tech Update - Total Tasks: 638 Completed: 73.82% InProgress: 2.98% Remaining: 23.20%

here is the jump back of the bar that had been announced

It seems the update is still in progress:

Progress for Tech Update
- Total Tasks: 639
- Completed: 74.80%
- InProgress: 8.29%
- Remaining: 16.91%

I think they are splitting all remaining tasks in smaller tasks, as announced. But after the split it might happen that, if they were in the middle of the development, some of the children tasks are immediately completed.
I understand that nothing changes (at least we will start seing progress advance on daily basis) but it is indeed a bad choice in terms of "customer management" as most people will get mad because of the jump back.

But maybe it will go faster if several people work on a scene instead of just one on a big one.
But I agree that it is a bad decision to split it now.

09-Nov-2023 (2 years, 8 months, 26 days and $2+ MILLION later):
  • DC hides his monthly income (23-Oct-2023)
    You must be registered to see the links
  • The Tech Update has no release date or even a date when it will have a release date
  • The Tech Update has not been seen by supporters in any kind of demo that would show the works that required going 10 extra times past the promised and voted on deadline.
  • The true status of the Tech Update is unknown to literally everyone, supporters and insiders, as nobody can tell where the project is, what is still left to do and when it will be done.
    • The word salads sold as "status updates" at the end of recent months are completely useless to determine actual status/progress against a 100% DONE objective
    • The progress image used by supporters for years to determine status proves to be useless as it sat frozen in time for eons followed by a regress in %, both clear as day signs that project management is far beyond incompetent or just non-existent

Why?
  • No. of paying supporters in Feb-2021 vs. Oct-2023: 24422 vs 25488
  • As long as they keep paying for the dance of shadows keeping this vaporware unalive, we will continue getting what they pay for.
