Id bet if supporters pulled out real quick, "magically" the game would get the next update. Just a thought.

any ETA on when we can get the stepmom pregnant? we can already have sex with her for some time now, and considering that the problem with the russians that were harrassing her and the MC has been dealt with, why not let us put a bun in her oven? unless DarkCookie has something else in store to justify the reason as to why she can't get preggers, it is high time we can do that

Yeah, cuz that has worked... never. Magically, people keep bringing this up as a good idea in various game threads - but can't show a single believable instance where this has actually worked.
Has it ever happened? I genuinely don't know.
If you don't know of any example, I don't know why you're so feisty. It's an idea, one of which seems a bit far fetched to achieve I'll give you that much, but since people are 'lil piggies without any galls to do anything this idea is just that, an idea.

It's not that I'm feisty. And you're the one who brought up the idea - so you should be the one bringing an example to the table to show of its feasibility. Also, it's been brought up hundreds of times in as many game threads on here, including this one. Never once has a successful story come from it.

Thinking through it logically, it also makes no sense - If someone can't pay the bills doing something, they aren't going to continue doing that thing - or if they are, it will be with much less effort and time involved because they'll need a different job to pay the bills. Leeching rarely (if ever) worked in medicine and it doesn't work in economics or the labor market. Do employees work better on less pay? Nope. Do kids get better education when school funding is pulled? Nope. Do construction projects get done quicker when contracts are cut? Nope.

No timeline. Eventually. Could (most likely will be) be years. You can find a mod in OP which will do it for you in the mean time.

Simbrodev and breeding season both kind of allowed themselves to milk on the way out - the income started a steep decline and they just kind of let it trickle out without contributing. I think the later kind of ponied up and closed it when they realized they couldn't go forward anymore (drama/long story).

I honestly don't know what system could work in this scenario - I want to reward indie artists, but I also want to keep them producing. Personally I think a better way to handle this type of thing would to not allow reoccurring donations, forcing people to keep intentionally donating (I know this is very impractical). I also know that it would impact Patreon/etc's money flow so that's never going to happen. On the other hands the kickstarter model hasn't proven any more effective (22cans/Godus comes to mind).

As the codebase expands, updating it gets more tedious - and after a while enthusiasm wanes. I doubt Dark cookie is out there twirling his mustach, laughing at the patriouns without returning any code - but he has had kids, the code is getting bigger, and I am sure his motiviation to timely deliver new code has waned sigificantly. TBH if I were him, and had read 1/10th of the comments on this thread whining about it, I would feel unappreciated, and my motivation would stink too - regardless of the income.

Because all these commercials everywhere I downloaded one of those '20.17'-versions up to my cellphone...
I started it and the main-menu was named 'version 20.16'
So there is no 20.17 - or higher out yet. Its all fake what can be downloaded.

You misunderstood me, twice.

You seem awfully defensive towards this. To clarify, my first comment was just that, a random thought, a comment, here comes you with your comment implying that there was evidence to the contrary, so I merely asked, do you have examples.

Other games got the "Abandoned" label for less... It's more than a year now from the last update (15 months now...).
Other games get the abandoned tag for less if the dev goes radio silent for 3 months which is not the case here. If the dev doesn't release an actual game update for 18 months then he gets the abandoned tag. In this case if he doesn't release the tech update before the end of April the game will be tagged as abandoned. I highly doubt that he will be able to release it before that. Best case scenario we get the update some time in the summer and even that doesn't seem very realistic.

And once the game is marked as abandoned on F95Zone, how does that affect Dark Cookie ? Is it just so that all of you asking for it can gloat about it?
Other than maybe keeping people that are new to the forum from trying the game, it probably won't affect DC at all.

On the lifestream one can see he really is working on the contents. Maybe DC can publish a new pack it is called 'pretech 20.17' then. :unsure:
