Been away from this game for a few years. Has there really not been an update since 2022? Can anyone be so kind as to give me a tl;dr? I don't want to read 100+ pages.

Replying to an off topic rant is also off topic and only encourages more off topic rants. Therefore I have replied to you in the Never ending defending of an abandoned game thread.
Two can play at this since, in your frame of mine, replying to replying to... only encourages. So, now, are we going to keep in this circular argument of yours? If so, please let's engage this exercise in the off-topic thread. Thanks and have a great day.

This whole discussion can be summarized nicely.

Does DC get more money than the game and what he deilvers is worth? Yes.
Will that change anytime soon? Who knows.
Should people, who don't seem to like DC, spend their precious time writing essays about it? Probably not.

To get back on topic:
It seems we'll get at least another outfit for June, so there's some hope(?) that they may actually add a few more cosplay scenes at some point. I'd honestly quite like her character to be a bit more about that. Until now she's basically just "female Erik".

Is she perpetually high? Her half-closed eyes and unfocused gaze suggests "yes." :ROFLMAO:

Meg says ...

The Dude is taking all this time just for Art's sake. Everything must be perfect. :sneaky:
I have never made that contention and no one else in this thread with any shred of intellect has ever made that contention. The problem with this circular argument that has bloated this thread to over 74000 posts isn't those with intellect...

Dang it, even if all member only paid $1 each ( which is not ) it would be atleast $29k. god dang it. and its monthly !
With that amount of money, most people too would rather choose to fly first-class around the world, enjoy meals at three-star Michelin restaurants, stay in five-star hotels, and hop from one vacation to next than spend time making porn games.

Or contract a team of around 8-10 people while paying a mortgage, raising a family, paying for utilities like water and electricity, buying food, purchasing clothes, paying for health insurance, investing in retirement plans, ... I know, crazy right? It's almost like few in this thread know the value of money and what people earn and what they do with it... shocking, I know.

Heck, if he's single-handedly doing this, I don't know what DC animators getting paid for doing 5 animations in 3 years, but getting paid every month
Oh no, he is doing all the art. And he is done. The rest of his gang of incompetence isnt doing their jobs. His programmer in best case is a script kiddie and I have no fking clue what the rest of the monkeys does anyway. But they earn a shit ton for not delivering anything for years.

Yeah, just as well as there's going to be a new bowling minigame. I'm not sure how many of these games (see below) they'll really implement. Given the way the background is drawn, I'd guess there'll be up to 4 games to play.

:cautious: Dude... At the end of the current month (Jan-2024) DC will have finally cashed in more $ for arduously working on the Tech Update vaporware over the past ~3 years than he cashed in the 5 years before FOR ALL THE STORIES EVER DELIVERED by Summertime Saga.
And you think he'll "disable the monthly charge"?! Does DC need to posts a big "THIS IS A SCAM" flashing neon sign on or will even that not be enough for you to figure it out?
  • 03-Dec-2020: Tech Update is sold by DC to paying supporters as something that'll take "(3 to 4 months) to complete" and voted on as such. This is what supporters approved.
    • See Ref. 1 below.
  • 14-Feb-2021: DC first claims that he already started work on the Tech Update and the team is just about to join him.
    • See Ref. 2 below.
  • Mar-2021 (2 years 9+ months ago): Last ever normal/story release of Summertime Saga: v0.20.5 (Main Story - Part III)
  • Aug-2016..Mar-2021: $2,112,659 total paid by Patreon supporters over ~5 years for all SS stories ever delivered.
    • See Ref. 3 below.
  • Apr-2021..Dec-2023: ~$2,111,693 total paid by Patreon supporters over 2 years and 9 months for the Tech Update vaporware.
    • See Ref. 3 below.
At the end of the current month the second total will finally surpass the first.

Ref. 3: Income was recorded by up to Oct-2023 when the scammer hid the value. For the last 3 months of 2023 historical trends comfortably allow estimation using $ paid / supporter, which was estimated as continuing to drop at: 2.2, 2.1 and 2.1.

I am making that contention, bro. Art for Art's Sake, and you gotta feed the Artist because Glory Only isn't enough: the Dude needs a lot of cookies. :sneaky::sneaky::sneaky::sneaky::sneaky::sneaky:

This is why his Patreon Connoisseurs kindly donate. They acknowledge the Artist. :whistle::whistle:
