I think we can all agree that we like DC's style a lot. We enjoy his product. Plus! I think we can all say we would like an update more than once every 4 damn months as well! It is annoying but what ya gonna do, right?
I guess the problem in this specific case is more that those exact users who complain are writing the same things for probably more than 6 months now. It should be clear by now how DC wants to continue with this project and that he seems extremely reluctant to share the art with anybody. Writing that again and agian and again is of course ok but it should be clear to them, that it's very, very unlikely to change. We'll only get a second artist if DC litereally gets really, really lucky and we'll see every character reworked to the current art standard of the game.I'm getting sick of people like you who is dishonesting his patrons (including myself) JUST BECAUSE I have another opinion than DC. I can appreciate people who have own opinion, so should DC. It's called rational thinking, you muppet.
As someone who has dabbled in digital art, specifically 2D vector, your skills and techniques inevitably evolve, change, and get better and there's always the temptation to go back and change your earlier works to match your current standards. In the case of people who just do 2D/3D art, you're probably not going to do that because of how much time it will take and because you'd rather focus on new works, but in the case of a 2D game like this you're going to want your artwork to look consistent throughout and therefore if you start to improve artworks in later updates then you need to change the earlier works to match the new ones.My problem remains this - if the artwork is the bottleneck point, redesigning does nothing but slow things down even more so, for no benefit other than DC's wallet. If they are unwilling to even try and hire someone to help speed these along it really adds to the case they are purposefully slowing things down to take advantage of those willing to donate..
And here you have detailed dev tracker, once again. Nowhere near to be finished anytime soon.

I think that's pretty much true, though the rework will be much, much heavier. According to DC the old scenes like the shower, sofa, bed, etc. will be renewed (since they are all old 2 frame animations) but basically everything else will be new. But yes, I'd expect people to be disappointed again because a lof of content won't feel "new".Well, seeing the dev track tells that we probably won't get a whole lot of new scenes (if it's new scene after all, no just reworks of old ones), it seems that is Diane's update all over again...
Yeah that art degree sitting on my mantle for 20 years means I just have zero clue about how teams put projects out that look cohesive time and time again. Stick to your dabbling. It's cute.As someone who has dabbled in digital art, specifically 2D vector, your skills and techniques inevitably evolve, change, and get better and there's always the temptation to go back and change your earlier works to match your current standards.

At the end of the day, as a dev, DC wants their game to be the best it possibly can be and if this means improving the quality of the artwork, both new and old, then that is what has to happen and it's no use bitching about it just because you hate waiting and have no idea about the creative process.
Was that a digital arts degree like mine that taught Photoshop and Illustrator or was MS Paint still all the rage 20 years ago? But I'm sure you're using that 20 year old degree to create digital works these days and not just sitting in a shed with your watercolours and easel, right?Yeah that art degree sitting on my mantle for 20 years means I just have zero clue about how teams put projects out that look cohesive time and time again.

I'm gonna paraphrase an author friend of mine. Your art is never done - it is simply sent to publish and then you have to live with the mistakes. Watching DC or anyone slow down their own progress and moving further from their goal line is sad. You can never be done forever. In this case he is doing it at the expense of those who have put faith in him. That's why I stopped giving money. You want to keep feeding the no reason to finish beast that's on you. Don't be surprised if it's 5 years later and the project still isn't done.
He said it will be close to Roxxy's update. He said Roxxy's update is the biggest update they have done so far.Don't fret people! DC said in one of his recent streams Jenny's update will be as big as Roxxy's! He knows Jenny is one of the most popular characters.
And it's going to have a lot of new stuff in so let's give him the benefit of the doubt, shall we?
DC said once they finished the game, they will bring back to incest dialog and everything. For those who are into incest has to wait.I'm looking forward to the Jenny update, but a part of me isn't as excited as I would have been prior to the incest removal. Before she was your irredeemably bitchy older sister and it kind of had this weird charm to it, now she's your bitchy "roommate" and it just doesn't feel the same.
Same here. Up until the Diane update the game felt reasonably grounded, even with Aqua and weird "sex cult" thing at the school. But I think DC might have just taken the whole Diane milk business a little too far by having her destory her own home to replace it with a barn where she plans to milk more women.I personally have two opinions about the Diane update. On the one hand side, I liked the old story, and I do not find the new one is a great improvement. I mean, destroy the house to build a barn, that's plain stupid, honestly. On the other hand, updating older artwork is most welcome. Unfortunately, there is only one new scene, which is a replacement for an older scene, so nothing new.
Now we have the same for Jenny update, where I also kind of liked the story before. I think there is only little danger that we destroy MCs home to build a "Webcam Factory", so let's see how the new story goes. And there is certainly a lot of scenes to be improved. So I bet it will be worth the wait.
I am definitely looking forward to the Eve, and Main Story updates, where I expect something at least as epic as the Roxxy update.
And then Dogeek said that even that might not happen, so...DC said once they finished the game, they will bring back to incest dialog and everything. For those who are into incest has to wait.
He says that cause he doesn't want to recode dialog. Nonetheless, DC orders and they do.And then Dogeek said that even that might not happen, so...
Indeed, i was looking forward to her update, but since the Patreon shitstorm the original 0.16 (which should have been her update) got to Roxxy and the Aunt update removed more than improve it, i'm hesitant into trying her update, especially if it's going to be written as if she wasn't MC's sister her scenes are not going to be the same.I'm looking forward to the Jenny update, but a part of me isn't as excited as I would have been prior to the incest removal.

Im looking forward to how she's gonna want to kill the mc when she finds out shes pregnant! Cant wait to see that screen shake along with her mad as hell facial expression!Indeed, i was looking forward to her update, but since the Patreon shitstorm the original 0.16 (which should have been her update) got to Roxxy and the Aunt update removed more than improve it, i'm hesitant into trying her update, especially if it's going to be written as if she wasn't MC's sister her scenes are not going to be the same.
Especially if she's (from what i've understood) going to have some of her scenes removed, and i would rather have her scenes improved on (like the mom's 0.14.5 update) and add new scenes just like the mom, maybe a missionary on bed\ tittyfuck or bj\hj\69 or improve her request scenes to add progression to add more than groping her boobs for 500 $, when she lets us pound her for free in the shower\bed\couch\camshow.
But it's her love confession the thing i looked forward the most.
I think the game's been getting less and less grounded since the Mia update, myself. When the typical "girl next door" storyline took a jetpack into parental kidnapping (tonally jarring, but sadly not unrealistic) and then full-on nun-sploitation out of the 70s. I think that should have been our warning that SS is less of a "realistic game where everyone's extra-horny for the sake of convenience," though it might flirt with that for certain characters, and more of a "trip to PornLand, the theme park where everyone is a walking fetish and the points don't matter."Same here. Up until the Diane update the game felt reasonably grounded, even with Aqua and weird "sex cult" thing at the school. But I think DC might have just taken the whole Diane milk business a little too far by having her destory her own home to replace it with a barn where she plans to milk more women.
I feel like there could've been a better story here by introducing Daisy earlier because, since she's a magical cow-girl, she's more well-suited to producing milk as she not only needs to be milked regularly but she also enjoys it. They could have had the story go that when Diane is exhausted from trying to fulfill her massive order for the school, the MC finds the first piece of the Daisy statue when doing the gardening which would lead him to finding all the other pieces and bringing Daisy back to life. Eventually, once she's settled in, Daisy would become the source of milk for Diane's company taking all the burden off Diane who would not destroy her house but simply get that "milking chair" for the shed. Then, after a moment of sexual celebration in Diane's bedroom, she gets impregnated by the MC.
Even with the magical cow-girl, I still feel like this story would make more sense than what we have right now.
