You know what the funniest thing is. Smoke tries to justify all of this by putting out this graph.TL;DR: Over nearly 9 years, our team, has developed our game, SU, under a Patreon model, aiming for monthly content releases to stand out from sporadic release models. This approach, while initially successful, led to challenges like content quantity over quality and audience frustration with perceived inadequacy in updates. The major mistake was publicly setting strict deadlines, which, despite intentions to avoid being labeled as "scammers" or "milkers," attracted criticism anyway. Now, we're shifting to an internal schedule to improve content quality and reception, learning from past experiences and committed to evolving.
A reminder that the last proper update 2.4.45 had a total of 3 scenes, 2 of which were bugged and since then we've gotten the buggy renpy version of Themyscira and an android port that no one plays. If you had been a patron since Janurary, you have now paid $20 for essentially nothing. All of this is Smoke trying to convince you to stay a member because they still bill monthly.
Just noticed, anytime Summertime saga is mentioned by shank it's always filled with hatred.You know what the funniest thing is. Smoke tries to justify all of this by putting out this graph.

That green line is their total revenue and it suddenly stops. Why? Because he turned off how much they receive a month to further hide it from patrons.

It's among one of the biggest H games but with a bad reputationJust noticed, anytime Summertime saga is mentioned by shank it's always filled with hatred.
Jealous that that the team does nothing and gets paid a lot is getting out lazyed and getting paid more by another dev
It's also likely that it's so low for many that they barely notice it every month and therefore don't get too upset about the absence of any updates to Summertime Saga for over a year.Deepsea Thanks for posting that.
Interesting to see the per patron is only $2.19. I think that really shows the value that individuals are willing to spend for a monthly subscription model and that is a good case study for others on how to structure memberships levels
Welcome!Hello everyone I'm new here I would like to know do you think the next update will finish the content of Themyscira Where I'm getting too far ahead
Well,they are "working" on Themyscira for 2 full years.Welcome!
Personally, I think the next update for the Themyscira standalone will finish it, yes.
Whether that will then be fully rolled into the main game in its next update is somewhat harder to say.
If they don't roll it in, they'll probably do a Gotham update instead. Or something else, what do we know?
Bitch, don't tell me what to do.And one of those fans would be you mindlessly becoming the yes man and white knighting devs for the last 8 to 9 years of slow development for gaming? Living where the Berne convention doesn't matter shit so get your thick headed skull outta here.
Except the devs literally just did, but OK...And for the record, it's also a management sex sim. No one fully said it was a total visual novel.
If you think the next update will finish Themyscira, I got a London bridge to sell you...Hello everyone I'm new here I would like to know do you think the next update will finish the content of Themyscira Where I'm getting too far ahead
Superpowers don't exist for Lex in the game. They were planned, but I think the devs abandoned the idea years ago.how do i get Lex superpowers, outfits and accessory?
You're telling me Sunset is using volunteers to make the game for him and involved in discord drama?I happened to come across this video. Someone made a video documenting Gunsmoke games
You must be registered to see the links
Well maybe not gunsmoke, but if I hadn't corrected myself, would it have made any difference?

The 'billionaire' suit should be available after unlocking Lexcorp HQ (also, the old purple jumpsuit is no longer available, only the initial green one).
The accessories are available to purchase from Tala at her workshop, once suitably upgraded and she's done the research.
