I agree, there's nothing wrong with being stupid and throwing money away, in fact, does anyone here want to support me while I pretend I'm making a game?
Why don't start one up, and see how it goes..?
If it's so easy to 'milk' as you think, you could be a millionare by now. Go get it done, you slacker!

Just to stay on topic: "Whens's theh next updade?!?"

Edit to add: "Which character needs the most new content besides the three who are in line for the next content updates (so, except for Rhonda, Annie, Judith)?" ;)

However, with the reported coder leaving and new people joining months ago,
I think you are mistaking some of the facts and, thereby, formulating an opinion based upon false information. The coder who is working today on the code is the same coder who has been working on the code for over 4 years. As for the new people, there was for at least a period of time, some revolving of the posers on the project. Otherwise, the prime members of the team have been on the team for a significant period of time. Almost exactly a year ago, Username7 updated the thread on the status of the posers (#69,872). I do not know the status as of today.

While I won't quibble with the term "vaporware"/"vapourware" in terms of the tech update being stuck in production hell, the actual game - developed to the point where it is - is playable for all and players are able to play for dozens of hours from day one within the game up through finishing the main storyline of finding out what happened to the MC's father. All the while banging dozens of women in the game. It is one of the most robust, content-wise, of all games found on F95 - even with it being short of receiving a "completed" flag.
Just to stay on topic: "Whens's theh next updade?!?"
Repeating this doesn't keep you on topic, per se. In fact, repeating the same question over and over (whether repeating your own post or repeating other's posts in a short time span) could be seen as spam, or off-topic.

Once again, it's because the entitled whiny people here want more free content and they're mad they're not getting it; they lash out however they can at anyone they can in hopes of easing their hurt desire.

If you think the devs care enough about this site to bother making false reviews, you're dead wrong. Any positive reviews left are from people who sincerely like the game. The game itself is still held in fairly high regard. The shit show in the thread is because this mother fucker hasn't had a major update for like 3 years and when it finally does, it won't add any substantial new content.
If I think that? No I don't think that and I doubt many people do. So please keep those premade arguments for your shampoo bottles.

When you have an account with 0 activity for years that suddenly reawakens to post a 20 word 5 star review then disappears or one that was made the day of the review with 0 interactions on other threads that posts a 5 star then posts bait on this thread before disappearing I think it's safe to say it's not genuine.
You can agree or disagree. Our levels of skepticism and what we consider genuine don't have to be the same. My post was to tell those people that they're not slick with their alts not that DC is paying for fake reviews on a pirate forum.

So, essentially, what you are saying is someone new to the forum liked the game and left a positive review.

I think it's important to criticise the "simping" mentality because it's damaging the ecosystem, it's just unhealthy in general. It's not the same as telling someone to do something or not to do something; it's just like sharing knowledge. We just shouldn't be rude about it, like calling someone a "paypig" for example. I believe that anyone can stop "simping", it's not a disease. It's important to buy and support things that deserve it and not to buy "marketing shit".
Some info here and here (dead game, not recommended).
Personally I just don't get the obsession some people in this thread seem to have with how much money he is making, when probably 90% of us never supported or will ever support the game. Do I think that he has done a very poor job managing the project? Yes, I do. But if people after all this time still want to support him, who am I to tell them that they are wrong? It's their money.
Also,what deserves to be supported is subjective. Just because I don't see the value in something doesn't mean others have to see it the same way I do.

Is it actually okay in this forum to refer to paying Patreons as “paypigs”?
They are even compared to alcoholics who can't get off the bottle.
Personally, I have never supported THIS game, but others and I wouldn't like to read
someone calling me "paypig" just because I made the decision to support a developer or their game.
Ultimately, it is a personal decision whether and how someone spends their money.

And to call the update "vaporware" is not entirely correct in my opinion,
that would be it if there were only promises without proof of progress,
but DC releases new images, even streams him painting them.
There are also progress indicators on the website.
(I know this information may not correspond to reality)

Status as of March 22, 2024:
View attachment 3467907
(25 Changes in the last 24 hours - sounds like they're making some progress)

An incitement to stop all payments would result in the game being
developed EVEN more slowly or even being discontinued.

There are a few sentences in manneychin's post that remind me
of statements like those made by conspiracy theorists. :geek:
You know, I'm just imagining this scene with Cartman answering phone and telling "Summertime Saga go fuck yourself!" instead of "Washington Redskins go fuck yourself" right now:


And remember:

LET DARKCOOKIE DO NOTHING FOR YOU!

Well, I would like Judith, Eve and Consuela to have more scenes, I know that Consuela and Eve have some scenes and Judith not, but it's more a matter of personal taste.
I don't know if you're telling me to start my own project and extract money from people so I can feel firsthand what DC goes through, but I don't think I have to prove anything, he has to do his job and deliver the updates, although ironically I had start my own project on renpy, with the programming and some artwork ready, but I gave up, I'm really too lazy for that and I don't think it's worth trying to take money from others with something that clearly isn't it's going nowhere, and before anyone says anything, no, this isn't a barb for DC it's just my own experience.

Once again, it's because the entitled whiny people here want more free content and they're mad they're not getting it; they lash out however they can at anyone they can in hopes of easing their hurt desire.
Once again someone feeling offended by people simply commenting on the obvious, and thinking that just because something is received for free it doesn't deserve any criticism.


"Oh my god, they are criticizing this developer who hasn't delivered an update for over a year, how dare they do that, how dare they say it's taking too long when they're playing for free on a pirated forum, how dare they say the creator doesn't give a shit for who is practically donating money to him, his probably are eating a croassant right now? Yes, but who's care."

The coding goes slow, so there's no reason for everything else to go at a decent or fast pace, as they depend on the pace of the code progress.

But if people after all this time still want to support him, who am I to tell them that they are wrong? It's their money.
Providing information to people and telling them what to do are two completely different things, don't you agree?
So here is an example. When you call a morbidly obese person healthy, beautiful and fit, are you doing them a favor? Or is it the opposite? If you tell the morbidly obese person nothing, are you doing them a favor? Or you're not helping them at all.
Also,what deserves to be supported is subjective. Just because I don't see the value in something doesn't mean others have to see it the same way I do.
Yes, it is subjective. So here is a question: What will happen to every single full-time adult game developer if every single supporter only supports Summertime Saga? Is it subjective now?

If you compare DC's work ethic to any other adult game developer, can you see the difference? If you can, you already have the value difference. It doesn't matter if it's an objective value or not.
By sharing your subjective value with people, you provide information.
By providing information, you're helping people to have their subjective opinions, and that's impossible without information, you see?
If everyone shares their opinion on any subject, you will have the "Law of large numbers" in action, and this will lead to the most objective opinion.

By ignoring your subjective opinion and not expressing it, you are telling people that you don't have an opinion, which is a lie and nothing else.

So then, what you are saying is that its more likely that fans of DC are maliciously creating alt accounts to bolster reviews on a pirate forum than someone with a new, little used or privated account actually enjoying the game? You do know this game is a genre starting point for a whole lotta people, right?

I never said you couldn't criticize DC. I'm saying the pages and pages of whining, retreading the same ground for MONTHS is annoying to get updates about when I come here to check on other stuff. I'm not going to sit and argue again, I've heard all the same arguments here forever.

You know how that gets defeated? DC actually does something worth all this time. It's been three years since the tech update started, at this point it really sounds like a lot of the defenders are just trying to justify throwing their money into a bottomless pit for no material return. For fuck's sake, DC removed the progress bar from the patreon for anyone to see; what else could that look like?
