Ah, welcome to the typical game thread conversation on this site. People speaking out of their asses all the time, I mean people in this thread still claim that this game has zero sex scenes even after the latest update when we have not fucked every single main girl apart from Rosie, but even she has already got her share of dick in other holes/hands.
I'll just say this again, the dev has stated (sure it was long time ago in 2019) that the game updates will be small since he is always doing this on his free time as a hobby of sorts, now increasing support in Patreon doesn't magically just make a dev turn into a full time developer no matter how much you want, some people still just do it as a hobby on their free time.
The other thing is that people, the damn supporters, also voted for slower more "realistic" pacing on the sex scenes, actually by a large margin (250 out of 373 votes).
Now do I think the monthy amount of content in the game is great? Of course not and I'd love if it was more, but I also knew from the start what to expect since the dev was very clear about this. At least the game does indeed update almost every single month on the exact same time and date, you can hardly say that about a lot of other devs.
The part how Rosie will be the last love interest to get properly dicked also isn't anything new or weird, that's the usual way a lot of game devs do the sex scene pacing, they leave the "main girl or the most taboo girl" to be the last one to get her cherry popped. And yeah CookieMonster666, this rant wasn't aimed at you even though I did reply to you, sorry.
Just grow up people, enjoy a wank and move on.
Yeah, it's fair that if supporters like the idea by that much that he'd stick to that pattern. I'm pretty neutral on this, TBH. I'd obviously love to see more with Rosie happen and not 45 side ladies. But I don't really have a dog in this fight. I just try to call a spade a spade: if someone's going to make a claim (like how the developer apparently makes enough to do this full-time), it should be supported by evidence. Otherwise, someone like me will poke holes in the theory. And like you say, having Rosie be last is a "tried and true" formula for longevity of a lot of media. I'm not even slightly surprised by that.
i havent been on the forum for this game in a long time and i think i need to come in and point out that while you may or may not defend the dev on this title, the facts speak for themselves! ive stated previously when i unwatched this game that i was following both this game and My Lovely Sara (MLS) back in the day. i had followed this game since the beginning (which ironically was also the ending and abandonment of MLS)! from day one in this game and in MLS, everyone was waiting for the MC and the main LI to have sex! in MLS Caizer had got to the point where the MC and Sara (main LI in MLS) were just about to have sex and he abandons the project... only to drop the first version of Happy Summer not long after that! now right there, that in itself is casting a bad light on this dev as he abandons a game just before giving the fans what they had been waiting so long for!
flash forward back to now and who knows how long this game has been drip feeding content to the player base with the promise of sex with Rosie being right around the corner with every new update! its a vicious circle and weather the dev is only able to work on the game and make content on a slower schedule than other devs isnt really the issue people are having with this game! the issue in mine and several other player/fans opinions is that we arent getting the content we have been waiting for! ive read the changelogs and have popped into the forums to read some of whats going on with this game to get a quick chuckle here and there but still to this day, no matter how many other new characters and sex scenes with those new characters are added, people are dead set on having sex with Rosie!
so why doesnt the dev give people what they want? well if you want my opinion, hes afraid of loosing his meal ticket! once people get what they want they will lose interest in the game and once they have finally gotten what they have so desperately craved for so long they just might pull the funding now that they have what they wanted! dedicated fans of course will stay for the ride and play the long game, but i think the dev is afraid of giving the players what they want because after that... where does the game go from there? sure there are other interactions and more sexual experiences for Rosie to have, but i think thats what hes saving for endgame content! once Caizer delivers the Rosie content everyone wants (if he delivers..,) then everyone will be satisfied and move on! by keeping everyone edging over "is Rosie content being released.." then he has his audience in the palm of his hand! whos to say he will ever deliver on this anyway as MLS was in production for a long time as well only to abruptly be abandoned!
@CookieMonster666 im not throwing all this out there to specifically target you but it was just your comment that got me thinking about the crazy journey this game has gone through! while the dev may be a busy guy dealing with life or he could be someone with a lot of free time and is doing the bare minimum to keep his patrons subscribed, the fact is that the content the fans are looking for still isnt being delivered and after all the time this bird has been cooking you would think it would be done by now! i do hope eventually this game gets finished and im proven wrong but unfortunately, as ive mentioned in some of my posts a while back, i sadly see the dev abandoning this game as well once hes backed into a corner and just about to give the fans the Rosie content they had been so anxious to see and was 90% of why they were subbed to this dev in the first place! but hey, thats just my opinion and you guys out there can take it or leave it!
No worries; I don't feel targeted or anything, man.
I will say, though, that I'm not even remotely surprised that Rosie is the last one and that not much more than... dick holding, was the last I saw? ...has happened. It's a common tactic used in media in general. How long did it take for Rachel and Ross to try an actual relationship in
Friends instead of just wistful glances at each other? How long before Maddie and David finally gave in to their attraction in
Moonlighting? It was many years before Niles and Daphne got romantically involved in
Frasier. The pattern has existed for a very long time, even outside of adult content.
I'm not saying your (and others') complaints aren't valid. I'm only saying that I actually could see this one coming from a million miles away. It's not the only reason, but it's definitely one of the big reasons I've held off on playing this. Since I also was mostly interested in Rosie, I've just kind of lurked until that eventually happens (maybe in 2050). Like the tactic or not, it's what entertainment has shown works for literally decades. Why change a formula that proves successful?
And to reiterate what I said before, I'm not discussing whether this is ethical or not. I don't want to even broach that subject because it will only lead to arguments from different points of view.
