Patreon should have a system where the developer sets a release date for each update and money stops on that date until the update is released.

Patrons can then decide if they are happy to give money to a dev based on those dates.

If devs want to set for example 12 months for an update so as to not risk the money stopping they have to deal with Patrons knowing they are doing that.
I really think that you and alot of others who are overly concerned with release dates and their correlation to patron donations are confused about what being a patron means.

You are NOT paying for content, at all. You are donating, I. This case on an automatically recurring monthly basis, to an artist be cause you like their art and their process. This has been the case historically with artists and kings/rulers/wealthy people. This is also the case now. You, as the patron, are SUPPORTING THE ARTIST. Period.

You are not contracting for specific pieces of art, that is a commission. You can remove your support of the artist if you feel compelled to do so, but don't treat the situation. As though the artist owes you anything. They dont. And vice versa, you owe the artist nothing.

Please SOMEONE tell me they understand this dynamic!

Then why are you upset?
Are you literally re... Is English your first language? I will never understand why you would respond to someone like this. Its a stupid decision and a step backwards from the previous system where it was toggleable. This idiotic game design plus lackluster updates shows just how bad this game is becoming.

You’re basically deciding why people donate to a Dev. Each person has their own reasons, not just to be a “Patron of the Arts”. If that’s your reason... Good for you. I donate so he’ll continue to make SS. I can’t decide why people donate or why they stop. If Darkcookie drops the ball a starts releasing Crap, I’ll stop. If he keeps releasing every 6 months I’ll lower my donation. It’s all up to me.

save compatibility is one of the poll options that they update based on, its tied to Erik/his moms story. whenever that wins a poll, they'll fix the save stuff.

Oh yeah, seems they provided a save right before the new content this time around at least. I completely glanced over it when I read the Patreon post.


"For those who want to skip already played content and only have the new content untouched, use this save file:
"

For those who are new, you place the file in SummertimeSaga 0-18-5 >game > saves

If the saves folder isn't there, just make it.
