Why would you be disappointed in a technical update? It means new scenes are not the focus. Frankly when it does go live, I don't expect much new content with a technical update. Which they said from the beginning would take them a long time.
I agree with you until your last sentence.

Dark Cookie, when making the pitch for the Tech Update at the end of 2020 and start of 2021, told the paid patreon subscribers it would "take roughly the same amount of time (3 to 4 months) to complete." Subscribers then voted in the poll for which should come first, Rhonda's update or the Tech Update, with that understanding. Obviously, DC was wildly naive, mis-/under- informed, fantastically optimistic, or simply clueless about the resources (time, staff, etc) it would take for the tech update to happen properly.

The Tech Update was going to be worked on, no matter what. It was only a matter of when. Even if subscribers had voted for Rhonda's update to come first - that would have been done by August 2021. The work on the Tech Update would have started right after that, with Annie and Judith's updates still in the future. The only difference is that Rhonda fans would have had her content this entire time, rather than waiting along with the Annie and Judith fans.

It is what it is and we'll see how it is when it is released, whenever it is.

Wait, there are still people paying this dude for this shit?
This game is the definition of fiddling for crowd money! Even Chris Roberts is jealous!
8 years in in the making... that's average-African-dictatorship-type of 'development' speed. At least them Africans realized, they are getting screwed.
It's so outdated that Stable Diffusion and GPT could come up with a better plot and artwork in minutes.

I haven't played this in a while so downloaded the new Android update, but it says incompatible with current Android. Shit. This game had some of the best animations! I'll have to check back on it later.

And for those things to happen, the tech update was initially intended. No more re-work of outdated content without tech update.
I want an honest answer on wtf the tech update is, I keep hearing tech update that tech update this on this game's page for the last, well, almost 2 years actually xD
I'm going to be honest I don't now anything about Renpy I work with rpgm, but having played this game since practically release, on and off. It worked fine, and I did play the last update which worked fine too. I'm not trying to troll or anything I would really like to know wtf they are actually doing. Unless they are completely changing the engine from renpy to something else. The game will still be "click dialogue, click dialogue, click dialogue, click dialogue, ...." with the occasional basic mini game. And for a porn game that is all we want, something simple, easy, with good art style, and decent or better story. which this game had. This tech update feels unnecessary to prolong the games life spam and like people love to say on this site. Milk milk milk :D
But seriously though, if anyone knows the real reason tell me, i'm curious.

You'll have to wait until when the Tech Update releases... whenever that will be (see the link above).

Thanks I see now, but rather than an actual tech upgrade which sounds kinda misleading (then again english isn't my first language so maybe it's just me) This sounds more like they are simply re scripting the entire game to change the structure and make it look better. Regardless hopefully when it gets here it'll be good. I'm not paying anything for the game so I got nothing to lose but a good time :D

I imagine the whole discussion like this after almost 2 years

and I doubt we'll see anything soon at this point.

Strange 4chan doesn't take into account 7 employees or general cost of development. Its usually such a great place for extremely accurate and reliable, totally non-biased information. Or am I thinking of something else?
Please let's not act like paying a handful of guys working a few hours per week using royalty-free and/or pirated software is burning a hole in that budget.

Or maybe he does but that would just paint a picture that the guy shouldn't even be trusted with spare change to buy me a coke.

But whatever, it is what it is. Just a shame because the game had something special going for it - and I feel a little bit bad for idiots getting suckered into all these subscription schemes. Or maybe they deserve it.
