okay then, I'm ignorant, educate me.
Something Unlimited started with monthly updates that were tiny, fumbled around there for a while, then eventually switched to a once every second month schedule. Did the updates double in size when this changed? It varied but they did tend to be larger, complete with characters with body types more suited to the designs they were based on with a few exceptions. The most obvious exception was Galatea who, in the JLU cartoon, was an aged up clone of Supergirl and therefore had a similar figure... this is even lampshaded in Something Unlimited. As time passed and the time between each update began to vary from as little as eight weeks and as high as twelve, the updates got less and less unique with SR7 swapping proper artwork for copy pasted Frankenstein's monsters. In many cases these copy and pasted monstrosities had anatomically impossible proportions for decidedly non-comic book reasons as SR7 never bothered to ensure that all of the recycled assets were properly resized and repositioned. Since then we've entered the era where SR7's artwork has degraded to the simplistic, samey mess that it is today. Updates come out at roughly the same speed they did at the peak of SR7's production level, so the time between updates is not the problem.

The simple fact of the matter is that the updates are getting lower and lower in quality as time passes and no amount of "let him cook!!!" will change that.... because he's not cooking. This is the microwaved leftovers era of Something Unlimited and the time between releases has nothing to do with that. It's a choice not a necessity.

okay, but one could argue that in the beginning, the game was simpler and all he had to worry about was the bordello, strip club, cells and the villains, he didn't have these grand events, aside from the yacht which in it of themselves were rather small events which primarily focused on established characters that were already in the game, the problem is that he's introducing new characters left and right and because of that some corners need to be cut, thus duplicate scenes and body types, all and all I'm still enjoying the game and the art doesn't bother me.

y'all are getting this game for free.... why are you complaining? Not like you have tao pay for it or something.
Some people perhaps complain too much. Speaking for myself, I simply made an observation that the game seems to be declining in some aspects (art becoming more generic) and completely stagnant in others (plot advancement and dialogues). You are correct, I'm not paying for it, but it's still a little sad to see the wasted potential.

Question. People did mod in order to remove the RNG of NPCs being available or not (cells, for instance). They are not working anymore, but is the method to do it myself available somewhere? I took the methode for instant text this way because the original person explained the way to do it.

in tv shows you're not supposed to sexualize women, so artists draw them as flat chested as possible.

these retards want to impose the same standards to porn, they must be bisexuals or sjws.
As a (technically not retarded) but still autistic person who has been called a SJW in the past, I can say that no, while flat is justice, this is not a problem with the game - if only because the animated version of this art style does not support flat-chested models. Bruce Timm's art in and off itself does, but that's a whole other can of worms, and what looks good on paper (like not-Barbara and not-Poison Ivy from his Naughty and Nice book having small tits) does not necessarily look good in animation. Beyond that, SR7 does still have his own way of drawing, a (even) more stylized one. The game doesn't convey it that well, and is actually better visible in the fanart he did of X-Men Evolution and Avatar.

All that aside, what I do have a problem with is a lazy, amateurish, procrastinating artist whose art has visibly declined over the years and lead to the models looking like the blowup doll I found laying on the street the other day.

I understand there is a significant portion of the porn-consuming community (including you, sir) that has a love for models that look like they've got fucking tumor boobs but some of us were attracted to the game exactly because the artist had pretty much nailed the characters as they appeared in the actual DCAU and even added some others (the Young Justice crew, Raven) that weren't even in the original shows to begin with while still staying true to the art-style Bruce Timm created.

I used to be fucking hyped for each new update, to see how this or that character could be remade in his style - but now, I mostly sit here and laugh at Luthor's snake in his pants and whatever the fuck is going on with boob sizes nowadays.

Guess Bruce ran out of money for new Utility Belts, seeing how poor Barbs had to hide her gadgets in her chest? I seriously expect one of the future updates have her or Galatea go all Austin Powers and just unleash a fucking volley from their nipples, jesus tapdancing christ.

Nobody actually asked him for any of this shit, mind you.

I remember that back in the old days, on Discord, people actually wanted less events and more focus on adding heroines (some of which aren't still in the game despite having a DCAU counterpart ready to go - Mera, as an example) and expanding the already existing game mechanics.

I understand that developing and drawing a game from scratch is not easy, but people have suggested that SR7 would hire additional people to delegate some percentage of his work to (such as programming) and he stubbornly refused to do so (despite having 5k Patreon subscribers, with the highest tier clocking in at 50 fucking bucks. Pretty sure you can hire another person to do some development for you once every three-four months for that, honestly. Fuck, other development teams are doing more without asking any money for it.)

He could've easily continued to stick to his original plan, insert one-or-two new characters a month, do semi-regular small scale updates and expand existing characters (such as Catwoman) and no-one would've complained. But instead he's doing these huge-ass events, that take up all of his space, don't provide any actually new content (for the meat of the game, I mean) and are forcing him to take shortcuts. This is all on him, it is his grave that he dug, his foot he shot through. Sorry, but I don't have any empathy left anymore for the guy.

Because this was genuinenly a very interesting project, with lots of promise and potential good future content, thrown into the bin by the developers stubborn greed?

You could make that argument, but you'd be at best a naive fool and at worst a brown nosing sycophant. Once SR7 gave up on animations Something Unlimited turned into a slide show. Nothing about it is complex, nothing about it is difficult. The events are copy pasted. The Yacht is the still unfinished Halloween event and both Gotham Balls. The Maxima event and the Talia events are the same thing with different characters slotted in, and the Talia one is, surprise surprise, not finished. The unfinished Themyscira event is Vandal Savage's also unfinished wedding which in turn is the abandoned prison break... only Themyscira has a map. As for making new characters left and right... they're literally all just predone bodies with different heads slapped on them. SR7 has been cribbing his own work for years and no amount of "But... but... IT WAS HAWDER NOW DEN AT DA STAWT!" will change that... because it wasn't harder at the start, or the middle, or now. Shit, things should be easier now since after eight years he should be at the peak of his ability to work in this format due to experience alone.

Something Unlimited is a mess of wasted potential and lazy development. Sooner or later it's going to be AI driven too. Shit, we're one update separated from GSG having to literally post that they hadn't started using AI yet because this sub and GSG's own socials were suspicious of whether or not the artwork was AI due to a mix of a recent announcement of it being used and due to how bad the artwork was. You're making excuses for a grifter.

ENOUGH!
I like the game, the art doesn't bother me because, the characters still look like they should (within reason), their personalities haven't changed (that much) and oh right it's porn, agree to disagree... I'm moving on.

And that type of mentality is exactly why, on average, the entirety of popular culture is declining. "It us just porn, move on."

Y'all may disagree with me on this but there is a very good fucking reason I'm sticking with 70s, 80s and 90s soft-and-hardcore shit over the modern bangbros and what have you. Back then they actually tried to make them into semi-functional movies (how functional depended on the individual filmmaker), and now it is just an endless parade of slutty step-siblings, neighbors, realtors, loan appliers, girls on the street and so fort and so on until it all collapses into itself as a black hole.

Effort should be rewarded, and the lack thereof punished. Yeah, we might be just complaining (right now) but at the end of the day, this is a public forum, dedicated to discussion. And the discussion apparently all comes down to "damn bitch this shit sucks now".

Which should be telling.

oh I one hundred percent agree with you, I enjoy porn just as much as anyone else, but when there's a well crafted story, I become invested, that's what keeps me coming back to this game, I want to see what happens next, will he take over the world, will he venture into the multiverse, how in depth will Sunset go into this game and if at some point in the game the art does become an issue for me, and the story just falls apart, then I will wash my hands of it, but until then I will continue to enjoy it. :)

Just caught up with everything and couldn't agree with both you guys more. Porn is good and all, but we fell for the characters as they were first presented to us. No amount of bimbofication is going to change the fact that Babs is a gymnast with a decent level of wit and smarts. Or that Artemis is a spitfire who doesn't take crap from anyone.

I too remember the early days where there was a roadmap of story, that had obvious talent and a promise of an excellent game. Now it is, quite literally, a recycled machine that will have no end. There is only a shadow of a story remaining. When you take step back and look at it, it feels like a messy conglomerate of several different stories put together.

The art should not distract from the story, if anything they should help each other out. Furthermore, any excuse is just that. An excuse. You are not holding the creator to the original standard and merely excusing their behavior. And for what? I used to love this game. I'd do fanarts and sprite remixes, but once the quality dropped I no longer became invested. At least Akabur is still going strong and there are a few good projects out there like the Deluca Family.

I think it's okay to make a simple porn game with just images and simple story, there are different genres for everyone. The issue with SU is that it's not consistent, it started as a bordello game with a specific storyline and artstyle, and now it has not much to do with it, only keeping the DC part.
If he wanted to make something different he could make a new game, like this Avatar one he wanted to make at some point (instead of using Korra as an amazon in an event, which is while fun, doesn't help the consistency).
