The update will only be out in a few hours (unlikely at this point) for the higher tier patreons. The post on patreon said the early access version would be out last week and the full version would be a week later, more or less depending on the amount of bugs found. This ended up being not true since the early access version is only just now being released (unlikely, I will explain) and doesn't even include the full update. I did not want to believe that Dek was actually turning into Dekoda, but every single thing he has said about the update is the same thing Koda would say.Why though? in a few hours the update will be out anyways
Oh i thought that everyone gets the newest version. That kinda sucks but its understandableThe update will only be out in a few hours (unlikely at this point) for the higher tier patreons. The post on patreon said the early access version would be out last week and the full version would be a week later, more or less depending on the amount of bugs found. This ended up being not true since the early access version is only just now being released (unlikely, I will explain) and doesn't even include the full update. I did not want to believe that Dek was actually turning into Dekoda, but every single thing he has said about the update is the same thing Koda would say.
The reason I doubt the update will be coming out in a few hours (it could but not likely) is because of what he said before. We were told a long time ago that the update was finished and all that was left was the artwork. He even went on to say he would release the early access as a version without all the art, similar to how he is now saying that the early access would be only up until a certain point.
At this point, Dek has already crossed the point no game developer should ever cross, lying to your customers. This is not just about us who are not patreons at this point, Dek has actively said things that he should not have said to his paying audience. If the update needed more time, there should be no problems with saying that he needed more time because of bugs. Instead, he said it was finished besides the art, yet that does not seem to be the case. The best move for any game developer to do is never say "update will be out *insert date*" when the update is not atleast 95% complete. Imagine that the day before the launch of a normal game the developers say its not ready, I doubt their customers, company, investors, or retailers would be happy. Game development is a buisness of trust and sadly there have been many developers here who don't care about trust (not to say there are not good developers here who do). This might be an indie porn game, but this industry is just as competetive and trust important as the normal game industry.
Sorry for writing such a long post and reply.

Well the update is out already so thats a good newsany news?
Thanks for the kind words but if that means zero new CGs and full regression, I'll pass. Darkerous is a nice one.irrc darkerous uploads it a week after for broke boys, stay strong
We are not worthy of your sacrifice for sharing this, but thank you very much... for also sharing that not even backers get the DM unless they pay max money.Early access for Patreons is out. I don't have the right tier to share with the lads, I'm afraid.
Can you explain to a brainlet what's so bad about the current situation apart from the obvious delays ? Personally I'm just happy the update is coming outIf you can't even properly playtest your code and schedule a project workflow, it doesn't even matter what the code was, honestly, so no big loss, just another reminder to let people be themselves and stop caring about how Darwin would brutally facepalm at evolution. Having extremely high empathy in modern era is the best way to end up with severe depression. This is from personal experience...
I don't want to sound preachy because I don't exactly have any right to. While no one expects weekend developers to be professionals, it's likeYou must be registered to see the links. And even then, I am not sure anYou must be registered to see the linksapproach would help. Sorry if this is offensive, but monetizing that kind of approach ruins all of mankind unless you want the future to laugh hard at us.
On topic: Maybe stopping at Narcissa was a good approach, actually. Unless this was changed in the revamp, she's the one providing the player with 'virtually destroy mankind' levers (that actually were fake anyway, even in the game) and you're supposed to feel bad for hitting them when we are nearing the point of no return as mindsets devolve.
Now I'm not even sure the CGs matter at all because backers might not even see half of them (Narcissa regression). Unless of course Deka was smart enough to do the right thing here, and I am leaving this one to his guessing as this isn't too hard.
Most likely from what I've read in the previous comments in this thread, it's not even the full updates and has quite a lot of bugs along with the delays. So if I would be assuming, if there are already major bugs thats making the game almost unplayable, that would almost be the same as not being able to play the game no? especially if it gets locked behind max paywall so your own patrons can't even playtest it for you properly since there would be too few at some point. Of course fixing bugs would also take time but how much more of a delay would that beCan you explain to a brainlet what's so bad about the current situation apart from the obvious delays ?

Tested the update myself and I can agree with this gentleman, you can't even replay the fart scene with Katrina after submitting to her, it feels pretty much rushedEveryone's problem with him is his constant lying. There's no problem with justified delays. There is a huge problem with lying about them.
He said the code was finished. He said he coded even more than needed because the CGs were late. He said he was done coding a month ago and was already working on Domina 2. Then it turns out the game is horribly buggy and unplayable on the day of the (delayed) playtest version.
