well i was one of the subs and voted for a tech update. never knowing the content will be taken away. DC make a map with lots of opportunities for new questlines etc wihich can be seen as a good thing. But man taking out 90% of the game out and make the game a tech demo? it is not a good thing.
Updates should be for the upgrade of the game this seems a downgrade with a fancy look. if this update came with a name such as tech demo the can be aspects that people here can understand. also it can be understandable if it was said the rest of the content we did not put in will be completed in a month. i must admit i like DC's drawings as an art style.
as for the game
+ new map is a good thing opens up new questlines
+ changing the quests work will give new feeling
+ new quest log looks and good.

- removing %90 of content is not the way this should be
- adding existed contend in 2 month (it can be 3 to 6 months known from our past experience) intervals way worse than removing them

overall of my thoughts about the game and its creator : see you in 2 more years.

Good job, man! Voting for the tech update was totally a good idea. There were no signs by DC that he was going to milk us dry previous to this update! : )

Also, I think that this confirms the death of the game. It's going to be a slow burner - for sure; very meek and subpar updates henceforth. I don't care who's fault it is, I don't care for the reasons either, but the truth is clear: he can't deliver the game as he used to.

I would suggest you just run through the content that are there.
Under settings>gameplay you can select skip unseen text, then you can hold ctrl to skip all text.
You can skip time, do content, skip time.
There isn't that much content anyway.

I think you are to optimistic, DC has shown no interest in adding new content.
I don't believe that any of the new locations will be used, he will done implementing the content of 20.16 in a year earliest and more realistic 2-3 years.
He will then go for another tech update and the cycle continues.

Years before the tech update was voted through he had already dropped the amount of updates and the content of each significantly, I know as I was subscribed to his patreon from around when he started it up, I dropped out as it became clear that he had become complacent.

I hope that I am wrong, but he has shown nothing to persuade me to think otherwise.

All lewd scenes except one are in v0.20.16, which has dozens more scenes than the current v0.21.0. if you only want to unlock the lewds and not actually play the game, just download v0.20.16.

So after years of the fight against the Russian mafia, the long-hoped-for mayor (T)Rump's imprisonment, the birth of hundreds of children, hectoliters of milk for Diane (and Daisy), the tons of bugs eradicated from the field, all we were missing was coach Bridget's A+ grade and the long-hoped-for child with Debbie, but instead... plot twist, reset everything and restart the game with different graphics.
Who knows how happy the old patreons will be with this choice.

The preggo bellies were a later afterthought. I might add: a really bad taste afterthought.

What we are REALLY missing since 2016 are:

- Judith's story

- Ronda's story + PE teacher

- Annie's story + principal

- librarian's story

- pool lifeguard's story

- sex shop girl's scenes remake

- dating with the school girls

- promenade ball event

THIS is what Darkcookie announced and promised since DAY 1 back in 2016 and NEVER DELIVERED AFTER 8 YEARS.

And he won't.

This thread still should have an Abandoned tag. Removing the content is not making the game "in progress" it is "in regress".

 

[Siegbarste]

Good job, man! Voting for the tech update was totally a good idea. There were no signs by DC that he was going to milk us dry previous to this update! : )

well at that time it seem a good idea thinking it will open up routes for new quests etc. not knowing the recent content will be taken out entirely

I think you are to optimistic, DC has shown no interest in adding new content.

well being optimistic was not my intent, as personality i always give people a chance once or thrice

tbh all this procedure can be handled better imo. but overall blindly defending or blindly bad mouthing never should be the way of reacting to a badly handled situation imo.

from my perspective as an old supporter. coding and posing was always hectic.
and lets be honest
are there better games in this platform or any other ? yes there are.
are there worse handled games ? yes there are.
could this update handled differently ? absolutely.
will all the questions above change anything ? Never!

so again for the sake of the 4000+ pages here lets calm down because DC will never join and answer anything here. so instead of argueing one can take action such as not playing the game or unsubscribing from the game. at the end of the day this is not
a life and death situation.

as i stated in my original post see you in 2 years Summertime Saga

P.S: saying 2 years! now it is optimistic

peace and love to all the good people here

What new scene was added? I can't even get past the Jenny "I can't believe things aren't more awkward between us" quest. No matter how many hand jobs I get there's no next step anywhere AFAIK.

Main screen --------> cookie jar

and see yourself.

 

[Lavance]

you know what? at this point. DC should just... you know, take the money and run. because from what I'm seeing this mans is COOKED.


well, not really cooked. He's a millionaire now. Abandoning this project or selling it to someone else secretly and leaving wouldn't hurt him in the slightest... so, eh.

 

[Kyakata]

Main screen --------> cookie jar

and see yourself.

I can't. Everything past the camphor hand job is locked because what normally happens to progress (her on the couch) isn't happening

 

[chemychanga]

Why doesn't the game start for me? I'm on pc, I just downloaded, extracted, then run the exe, but nothing happens.

 

[Gorkem]

I did not see that the technology had improved much in the tech update. Old content has been removed to avoid bugs. It seems like the developer may have made a tech update to create more work for himself and prolong the process.

 

[Gambit588]

As for me, what is this college idiocy? It's a high school, one of the main goals of the story that dc never delivered on (before he reset everything so he could spend and extra 8 years milking his patrons without having to deliver any new content) was to find a date for prom. Here is hoping there will be a mod that reverts everything to the way it should be.

Also the abandoned tag should not have been removed.

 

[Vanderdanden]

Considering the endless desire of the developers to take and remake an existing game from scratch (so as not to burden themselves with something new), it will take at least 10 years for the current version to include the entire pre-existing plot and characters. But more like 15 years. I’m not sure that I’ll just live to see that time. The next update will be again in two years, for example, in which 1-2 old characters will be added.

I'm betting that you have the TV set to that porn channel and I believe that's the problem.

Change it before the evening to any other channel, and I think that the scene will play out like it's supposed to. I honestly believe that this is a soft lock issue that needs to be corrected.

He could - he's choosing not too. Why stop the money train?
