Calm down it's only on the 30th that this will get the abandoned tag. He can still release a surprise update

Small update 0.20.17 (Pre-tech)

Changed the word your to you're in line 468 of Jennys route.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates in the future.

How many of you have written a line of code?

I can't code to save my life but even I know that you can't write code for a scene without the scene being available. So if you want to blame someone at least direct it to the right people.

actually you can, i mean, whenever i program, for example, i always use an turtle image as a placeholder to test if its working then later i replace with the new images, you don't really need an drawing for an code, you need a code for a drawing...

No point to delay the inevitable.

Fair, although, you could still use a placeholder for coding purposes and replace it with finished assets. That's first.
Secondly, isn't the art already (or almost) complete? According to the progress bar?

Took the words from my mouth.

Part of the tech update was renaming all the assets so they are easier to work with, I would guess that would imply having a sort of naming system for assets and knowing how they will be named. You can basically code all of the stuff related with assets using placeholders with the same names you already know they are going to have and just replace the placeholders for the real assets once the art is done.

I don't believe they don't do this because they are milking their Patreons like people like to imply, I just believe they don't do this out of sheer incompetence and inexperience working with IT projects like these in the past.

this game is abandoned imo. it's been like a year since the bar reached 80%. the guy makes tens, maybe hundreds of thousands on his patreon, why can't he hire more people?. This game's done for, i'm not giving it another cent

 

[GifMeMore1987]

Wouldn't it be funny if the game gets the "Abandoned" tag, it gets celebrated here and one day later an update drops and the tag goes away...

I think it'd be funnier if the mods just never tagged the game as abandoned. All the abandoned tag fetishists, edgers, and gooners would blow a fucking gasket. There'd be riots.

The abandoned tag is their god. They worship it and receive its divine messages, telling them to share its glory.

I think we are overestimating F95
But if what you said is true then I'm happy

 

[Schier]

[whitexwhite]

DarkCookie has you people acting like crackheads out here, lmao.

dude the conversation about this game is INSANE, most of them aren't even paying for the game.

I used to support the game. Not anymore. And for good reasons.

 

[itsyeboii]

"We" did absolutely nothing, no one in this thread has any power over the abandoned tag since that's a rule established by the website and enforced by mods.

Regardless of that, the reason DC announced they're getting a test update is because among patrons there is also a growing dissatisfaction because of a lack of tangible progress. If he really wanted to dodge the abandoned tag for this site, he wouldn't have to go through the trouble to release an actual playable version of the tech-update.

You could argue that updating SS with a minor update to dodge the abandoned tag would raise some eyebrows, because why would you do that if you're working on the tech-update anyways? That would be sus as hell. My counter to that is that an abandoned tag on a piracy website is way less important than actually satisfying the patrons that donate to him, and the patrons are already getting more dissatisfied, he has incentive enough to roll out a (partial) update soon, the abandoned tag means fuck all in comparison.

 

[vks017]

A not small number of his patrons heard about the game from here. I would expect at least some of them still check here. So the two groups at least have some link.

Its disingenuous to pretend there's no cause and effect here. Some were so loudly claiming the tag would change nothing for months and then when it did they are just being stubborn.

The dissatisfaction would obviously be there for all engaged long term patrons, due to the very misleading initial target date, and then this just helped trigger it more.

 

[Ayam85]

This game is a textbook example of a project gets too ambitious for its own good. The game could be completed years ago if it only focused on the (step)mother, (step)sister, childhood friend(with benefits), his buddy's mom and to some extent the most popular girl in the school(Roxxy). Instead DC introduced so many characters that he barely developed and the game spread too thin. Even its copycat A Town Uncovered had similar problem as well.

NOW he cares about his patreons dissatisfaction,not in 2023?
Damn what a timing
