In that case you probably should wait for the next update and indeed replay the whole game as soon as 15 is release and stable. There have been so many changes to some old stories (like for example the mom's which got reworked basically from day one) that you'd miss most of the story and likely more than half of the new content if you just play some random save.
There is no fixed date but I'd expect it somewhere within the next 2 weeks. Sadly they really take their time this time but at least the update is going to be huge and will involve many characters.
Looks like they added 3 more tasks (number went up from 49 to 52).
More like 2 months, not 2 weeks
And the Summertime Saga cycle begins anew...
did you see me complain about patreon or any other thing besides DC himself?? whos the one whos trying to start a flame here?? yeah at least me im paying him 20$ a month so im gonna speak up my mind
Well, if you support the game for quite some time you'll know that art is the limiting factor and you'll likely appreciate the consistency and quality of the game. Thus you'll likely understand that the release schedule is determined by the amount of time DC needs to draw the poses, scenes and things that are required for the update. I think we all know that no amount of money in the world will make him draw any faster without losing quality. So everything that can be done is finding someone who can draw just like him (without any noticable difference for the userss) without DC having to supervise everything in the end. Until he manages do to that we can pledge even double the amount and the developement won't get that much faster.
The problem is that many people seem to be unwilling to actually analyze what's going on. Complaining is fine but complaining without background is just pretty much useless. Those who follow DC see that he's not slacking around and if we don't want the game to look as bad as several "clones"/some other drawn games or lose consistency and animation quality it should be possible to accept the fact that more money won't help UNTIL DC actually finds someone who can solve that problem and is able to almost clone what he himself does.
Isn't that what people are saying though? He is making way too much money every month but the production speed is super slow because the limiting factor is the art. Which is exactly why he needs to hire 1 or 2 more guys helping him to draw background and scene which is a big part of this kind of game. DC only needs to draw people and that will increase the speed by 4x or even 5x.
Well, I'm actually pretty sure that's not going to work that easy. The backgrounds/items/etc. do have a unique style aswell and are often made during streams so the community can influence them and be creative - it would be sad to lose those inputs. The problem is indeed that it's not just "one or two guys" but at least one artist who has to be highly skilled and very creative and whom he has to trust. If he has to make detailed sketches for that guy and change small things he doesn't like afterwards the time saved will be very minimal. At least I can fully undestand that he doesn't want to tarnish his own project by introducing anything he doesn't like.
DC has been looking around for a new artist for at least the last half year. None has come forth that can match the style necessary and reach the quality standard that has been set.
It is easy to say with one or two people it would become faster. But it really is not like that. And is also hard to explain.
