Notice: Complaining about the complainers is likely gonna cause more complaining.
Just ignore them, seriously. Best thing you can do, because they're likely to still bitch.
Not saying I agree with them, mind you, but I know it ain't gonna do anything if y'complain.

Omg guys can you stop bitching about the slow updates from DC, ffs.

You should admit that people have different opinions. This post full of hysteria just makes you more toxic and annoying than the complainers'.

 

[SCynic]

Ahhh I've returned to see that nothing has changed at all. People continuously whining about "long, irregular" updates. People thinking they are somehow owed... well anything really from DC. And people who are irrationally upset about the amount of money OTHER people are WILLINGLY donating to him and his team for the work they do, which they then enjoy for FREE. Yes, the self importance in this thread ages like a fine wine...

 

[Hegoz]

I think most people complain because they really think that at that point and with the engagement from the patrons, DC would have gotten a more professional touch on how the game is being developed. While saying DC is very involved is true, it's also true that with the cash input, he could have created a real team to work on the game much more than what is currently being done, and that comes out as very frustrating for a lot of people, including a part of patrons. I do understand both sides, and don't complain about each one of them as I'm both happy for DC to have found his way, and sad that the game doesn't get more releases as I know could be done. Dogeek's case being a good example of that.
In the end, it's DC's project and whatever is done depends on him, so attacking or defending him, both of these arguments have no point. And at that point, he would have already changed if he wanted to. So, play the game, donate if you like it and can afford to, and just enjoy some awesome content when it's made available. And if you are frustrated by the lack of updates, download another game, there's plenty available here.

You're the guy watching Sunday football who yells at the T.V. that the players are doing it wrong.

lol, and you are the guy that watches the game and never understands when a player makes a bad play.

Once you discover OTHER great games besides SS (Melody, Dating my Daughter, Depraved Awakening, Broken Dreamers, Being a DIK for me), the waiting process of a new DC's update becomes child's play. If you're only into 2D art, go to Hentai Foundry. Works as well.

 

[Vibescu]

Incorporating artists to draw or color in an ongoing project is a bad idea. DC would be forced to spend less time drawing to supervise the artists' work. Also, it is important to maintain homogeneity in the visual aspect.

If you think that with $50,000 monthly you can hire a whole team of cartoonists full time, you are hallucinating. In addition to salaries you have to pay taxes. Hiring is very expensive. Without forgetting, of course, that there has to be money left to live on.

As I was just checking in to see if there were any movement, it occurs to me that the same feelings that occupy some patron projects probably mirrored back in the 1400's or whenever patronage was invented. I can imagine people getting so mad at Mozart for being too slow in writing his god damn symphonies.

 

[TheAnimence8]

at this point I don't know whats funnier, people getting mad at the lack of an update, or people getting mad at the people mad at a lack of an update

 

[Shardoom]

So I was playing this game again and I decided to do the Aqua route and something annoyed me...

When you're going through the underwater cave, is there actually a way to figure out which way to go or are we always to rely on either A = Blind luck or B= Some guide somewhere?

I tried looking for clues/prompts on the screen but there's literally nothing to tell you if you went the wrong or right way or even how many different rooms you have to go through to finish...

Am I missing something or is that puzzle just REALLY badly designed?

(Don't message me with the correct answer, I looked it up already. I was just wondering if I missed the 'method' for navigating the underwater cave...)

As far as I'm aware the solution is the pattern on the globe on MC's attic. But yeah, it's really not that well done, given the missing clues to connect those two.

But at least we can be hopefull that they'll make it a little better once Aqua gets the rig-system rework.

uh guys, no one can say DC doesn't work on the game enough. I mean he does art streams so you can see part of the progress on his side.
its one thing to say updates are slow, or maybe that there needs to be more staff members since there 'should' be enough patreon income.
Its another thing to tell SS devs what they deserve. literally no one has the power to decide those things, its mostly luck man so leave it alone. Anyone claiming SS devs to be 'stealing' just for making so much money is just petty shit.

also, approx 17 MILLION views has come across F95 zone's thread for SS alone. lets be generous and say 100k of those viewers are unique since SS has had many updates. since DC makes 57k and also only has 22k patrons, that means a little more than 1/5 of us here actually pay for the game.
I don't usually see the 'wheres update' complainers having donor flair. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MONEY IF YOU AREN'T THE ONES SPENDING IT.

lets not beat around the bush, this is pretty much a pirating site. any1 here could just get the game free and not spend a dime. I don't think any1 except the donors can complain about this games update speeds. even then when something goes bad, its not like people won't just move on to something else. donor or no thats what most people gonna do.
hell I was a donor to cloud meadow for 4mo's, but the second I smelled bullshit I left it behind.
its good that we at least get to have dialogue with the devs from time 2 time, even though we still don't know as much as we would like behind the scenes. we seriously have an honest game here, I don't think anyone is being taken advantage of.

 

[pallisade_walls]

57k per month. It's incredibly important to point that out, because he's making over half a million dollars per year at this point.

 

[Spiderkingvvi]

I am fine with the updating speed its a bit slow but it is constant so I am not gonna bitch about that but its at the worst moment where you have replayed the game once or twice and your just waiting for the update it when the wait is not long enough the check every week or two but it is also not short enough to expect it for another week but you have to check every day to see how close it is. now that I am done with my whining I love the game especially the art the MC looks under feed sometimes but overall very good and I like the little twist of having a male eve it gives the game a bit more replayabilitey. nothing else to say I guess..............................bye

 

[Hero1]

The thing is, DarkCookie isn't asking for 60k/month or half a million/year. People simply give it to him and his team.

Imagine a street musician with a cup in front of him. Everybody can listen to him play, nobody has to throw money in his cup. But people want to, because they like the music being played and hope he keeps playing. He says a certain amount is needed to ensure he keeps playing, but any more than that is not required. But he still gets way more money than he asked for.
Could he hire a full band with that much money? Maybe, but why should he? He's playing what he wants and can choose the corner on which he plays. Sure, some people may be annoyed that he keeps playing the same songs or covers only some genres of music. But the fact that he keeps making way more money than he asked for shows that most people are happy with how things are. And those unhappy people are free to stop throwing money in his cup. There seem to be enough people that want him to continue doing what he's doing.
Also: Should he refuse the excess amount of money he gets? Would any of you?

Omg guys can you stop bitching about the slow updates from DC, ffs.

First of all if you paid to be his patron and later on you're disappointed with the slow updates coming from DC then you can come here and write a freakin novel on how slow he is and how he milks people's money with this kinda slow updates,but don't freaking come here and start saying that he's slow on getting updates done because you don't know the full story,ya know...having a child is one thing but having three childs that's a challenge that no one of you are ready...jusr think about it...you're a game dev and for example your child is sick, would you rather working on getting updates for SS or take care of a child...JUST THINK ABOUT IT.

Second of all that bs of being jealous of how much money he makes from SS it's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS because the GAME IS FREE and instead of being jealous just start working somewhere and earn money or start making your own game, it doesn't matter how slow the updates are but how much love and content puts in them...one example is Roxxy and Eve's updates, they're storylines was so nice made and i bet Maria and the Rump family storyline will be even better, if you can't wait for the new update to be released just take a break,play some other games but don't come here and pretend to be a boss or whatever of DC and start accusing him or spread a bunch of negative things about the game because the game is a masterpiece and so far i haven't seen a game better made than SS.

And Mr Dave98424 don't talk about professionalism with a guy(I'm mentioning DC) that he works for so much months/years that at the time he released SS you still had a biberon in your mouth.

Why is it so hard for you guys to just ENJOY THE GODDAMN GAME while it's free rather than bitching about everything about it ?

If you haven't paid to be DC's patron your opinion doesn't matter.

And again just FAP MORE OFTEN AND ENJOY THE GAME.

Thanks for the attention and have a good fap day.

no
