So...... you're basically saying that a piece of software from a while ago, when it was smaller and as such a lot simpler behind the scenes with less features, took a shorter amount of time to validate as being fit for release than a new version which the developer has come out and said will result in a massive rewrite to various parts of the code to include a whole new gameplay mechanic? Well no shit....
They were faster because they were way smaller (apart from an overall lower quality). You might prefer that but, and I said that twice already yesterday, patreons were given the choice and they chose these bigger slower updates.
Well, it's going to be done when it's done and I guess most people don't really have a problem with that. That little bit of trolling has indeed a tradition by now and I'm sure longtime patreons actually like and expect it to a degree.
In the end the teacher's update was basically 4 small "monthly" updates combined into one bigger 3-4 months update. That does indeed kind of show contentwise. He does plan to add more scenes to each story though.
Right now there are two code bases. One is old (right now Diane, Jenny and Mrs. Johnson/Eric are left) and will slowly be replaced while the other is new one. Once that's done it should go quite a bit smoother.
Akabur is the king of drawing things out, though (no pun intended). The extended version of Princess Trainer took ages and the content delivered at the end was pretty disappointing for the time it took. (One of his patreon goals was getting into and funding some artschool in Canada, I think, do the math)
Yeah I really liked Princess Trainer Gold, and it did have a nice amount of content, but for the amount of time it took I totally agree with you.
You are right. This morning the code progress was 35/36 and now it is back to 34/36.
Erics update was short cause it was done quick, this one is taking a while so it should be the same quality of roxxy and the teachers update
The pre-release checklist was done.
July 30, 2018 was the last update so 3 1/2 months for a game with hand drawn artwork, so not too bad really. And to call it a "milking" update is being a tad small minded. He does the artwork himself. He doesn't use Daz3D or Honey Select, so if he finds his work is sub-par, he should be congratulated for wanting to fix up his art and game, and then sharing it with folks, not condemned for taking a few extra weeks to put out an update. Also its my understanding that he's making it easier to do updates in the future by doing the new art now and not mucking about every update with it so just sit back, relax and play something else until it comes out.
