5 months since last release and getting over 60k a month? You'd think by now they could afford to have a team that could get content out a bit quicker. I used to be a Patreon member but yeh the gap between releases only grows so i stopped. But hey just my 2 cents. Might play in 10 years when it's done
It's an inherent flaw with the patreon model. Without checks and balances in place to ensure content is delivered on a regular basis, it won't ever be delivered on a regular basis by a successful patreon. Just be glad that DC and company deliver worthwhile updates. Milfy City released one complete update last year and it took three attempts to do it, before ICSTOR wimped out on making the game. The team making Innocent Witches puts out one update every two to three months and there hasn't been a worthwhile update in three years. Amity Park puts out solid updates, but does so at an even slower pace than Summertime Saga. Something Unlimited updates roughly once every nine to tend weeks with five minutes of content. Even the best games on Patreon still release only a few minor scenes every couple of months. A couple of my favorites I forgot existed because they haven't updated since the middle of last year. Until Patreon forces its users to adhere to a proper content release schedule we will never see an improvement on this front. Patreon users are encouraged to waste time and DC is far from the worst offender.

DC and co make take their sweet ass time, and they could definitely afford a few new members of the team to get content out quicker, but ultimately most games can't match Summertime Saga for quality of content even if they beat it soundly with quantity. There are a few that do, but Summertime Saga is better than the norm. WHich is kind of pathetic if you think about it.

Aaaanywho, pooorn time.

I haven't played the full story in a few versions and am enjoying the new story. Having a save that was just for the updates, though, masterpiece.

After this wacky update, I fear this thread will become hell like the Milfy City one. It's quite understandable that people will troll when there are many legitimate complaints to be made about the game's development process.

If you dont wanna start a new game just unlock the gallery and wait a few versions before playing again

It's a big game with a lot of code so it takes a long time to add content

Is it really only 30min of content added on to the end?

63k a month for 6 months and that's it?

The same thing happens every update. Why are you surprised? We wait for 6 months for a short update and then have to start from the start again. Can you blame him, he has people paying out of the ass to get these updates in this manner so why would he change the way he is doing things?

Still playing it. I'm not sure how people are getting through it in 30 minutes, they must just be holding the Ctrl key down. I'm a fast reader and it's been a hour so far. Although, there's a bit more grind than usual which is unfortunate. Plus the saves broke again.

i don't think speaking someones mind is trolling. i liked it to, but i'm sorry to say that (for me) it turned into a big pile of money milking shit. and i may add that i followed this game from version 0.1, when it was still all about the "art", and picarto streams, and the community. it got corrupted like everything else good in this world :O

DC is the only artist listed in the 7 staff. It's more surprising that people think $60k will buy you more hours in the day to draw.
Why shouldn't he be successful, just because a bunch of pirates think money should equal speed.

Coming here to say "i don't care about this game" is definitely trolling.

Not to play devil's advocate for the whiners shortly after playing devil's advocate for DC, but more money should equal speed. How do you think EA, Ubisoft, Activision, and all the giant, evil gaming publishers get games out so quickly? More money, more people. You say he's the only artist, well, at $63,000 a month before taxes and the patreon cut, they can afford another artist.
