Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5003] [Kompas Productions]

[DeepSpace_Potato]

i can't "go" to dc since you just get dogpiled by his crazy fans and then banned on his discord for questioning his working methods. he also said on stream that he doesn't care what people say and that he wants to keep things doing the way he wants to. that's why i said the only way to make him change is mind if his financial support keeps dropping significantly

The interesting part regards his patreons is the total count. It usually drops to 50k and after 1-2 week/s, so I noticed 2 times, gets 6-7k back. No idea how considering he doesn't release a single valuable thing, but if it keeps like that, then nothing will change as it's the perfect formula with little or 0 effort. I suppose people supporting him since 2016-2017 are scared of him deciding to abandon the project if the money drops under a certain level.
The turning point will be the release of this famous tech update and if it'll really speed up things after that(I doubt it).

This is typical of all creators, but more noticeable in the trends after they hit a certain level of support because of the sheer numbers of subscribers. It has nothing to do with people abandoning and returning or large numbers of new subscribers.

It's people who either don't have enough credit available on their credit cards or don't have enough funds on their debit card or other similar problem that cause a "soft-decline":

“Patreon retries soft-decline (transactions that don’t go through because of a temporary issue, like insufficient funds) several times during the month. So if a payment declines on the 1st, we have more opportunities to get those funds back.” — Maritza Dominguez, Patreon’s Payment & Risk Operations Manager.​

That's why you see those dips that rebuild - it's successful transactions on retries after the first soft-decline.

The turning point will be the release of this famous tech update and if it'll really speed up things after that(I doubt it).

There will be a HUGE uptick in subscribers the month(s) after the tech update. Also, the tech update won't speed things up. People should expect the updates to be similar as before - about every 3-4 months on average. Some quicker, some longer. The "speed up" may only be internally while they code/implement/etc - but don't expect the public to see any change.

The only milkers I care about are Diane's tbh.

Man I really hope Diane gets more content, preferably with Debbie in the farm, you know to maximize production

I think you are pretty much misreading your own numbers. The drops mean patron turnover. In theory it just takes 7 to 10 months or so (50k/7k, 50k/6k or whatever number you want to take) for every patron to be replaced.

Sadly patreon doesn't release these numbers (I'm not even sure if devs can see them) but I'd be very interested in the average time someone is actually subcribing to DC/other devs. I suspect that the number of longterm patrons is indeed not that big - smaller at least, than many would guess.

It's easy to forget that DC caters to a massive global casual audience, and if you've got a market of several 100 million people, it's not that hard to find 7000 people a month who are willing to subscribe for some time. At least not, as long as you've got a game that's as well known as SS. I mean, just take a look at youtube or popular porn video platforms. There are pretty recent SS videos with 100k views+ - some older ones even have millions of views. And people are really asking where DC is getting some 1000 subscribers a month? Do they not know, how easy horny people tend to spend a few bucks?

Yea. New ladies or the lastest ones are one of the most boring, uninteresting characters in the game. I dont even care whats happening after conclusion on Marias route.

For me a few years ago it was the best and most innovative game in this porn genre. But I've been out for a long time and barely in this thread anymore. There were hardly any updates anymore. Does anyone know what it looks like currently? Nothing seemed to have come out this year, not even a pre-tech update.
Did something come from the developer again or does it look like ABANDONED in the near future?

The game itself has improved significantly and the tech update should increase the overall quality again.

They massively missjudged the effort it would take to create the tech update as they wanted it, and das such everything is just taking time. People may call that however they like.
DC himself is certainly working. He just streamed a few hours ago and there's definitely a good amount of Ronda art, beyond the tech update, done.

I know there are quite a few who don't appreciate these things, but the fact that DC still cares about details after such a long time and seems to be as motivated as ever, makes me somewhat confident, that we'll get all of the content (Ronda, Judith, Annie, the dating system, the prom, the reworkes, etc.) eventually.

Milfy city fans eating while we still sulking here, and they fact the devs themselves can't even give a rough estimate/timeframe after this far in development is mysterious. Oh well, here goes to waiting for 1 more year again, and even that isn't for sure.

 

[Isoldebaden]

Is the dev still working on it?

Dunno about eating good with an update after how many years, which also came with the patreon compliant rewrites, defeating a lot of the purpose of the game.

Hey snowflake - It wasn't me. I got deleted too.



When we don't follow the rules of the thread and of the site, we face the consequences.

No, developer died 5 months ago and DarkCookie is now at retirement home according to the latest announcement.

This in a nutshell showcases how you just take everything at face value and project whatever you want to believe onto it.
