So, parodying a public figure is "becoming political" now? There's no overt political message in SS outside of "Pussy is good."
Yes. If you parody an inherently political person or thing it is still political no matter what you do. I don't really care because it's funny, but the point still stands.

Err... Do you know anything about american politics? Because he's pretty much hitting all the left's talking points and conspiracies with no subtlety. Even connecting the president to Kim Jong Un and the main villains, who are russians. If that's not getting political, I don't know what is.
To be fair, he did most of that before it really became reality. Rump's character was introduced right when he became president in 2016/early 2017 and the russians have been in the game from the beginning.

It just happened that patrons voted for the main story right now when it's actually part of a political reality.

I don't think DC really cares much about politics.

Was the scene between Rump and not-Hillary in the mall bathrooms a political thing?

It's just for the lolz, that's all.

Now I'm not being a hater but why does Darkcookie take 4 to 5 months to release an update? It's NOT like SS is the absolute best VN/game out there or even the new releases are amazing (they're NOT). It's the money.

If SO many patrons are donating SO much every month why rush? If you do the math He's bringing $266,900 gross every 4 months or $333,625 every 5 months.

Until people start pulling their donations, He'll continue to milk it as long as possible. He probably watches this and other Forums to see how long before people REALLY start to complain and figured 4-5 months is 'the sweet spot'. As soon as donations start to drop, you'll get his attention. I mean we're talking Call of Duty on Xbox money here! People are going to do what they wanna do, BUT am I wrong?

Darkcookies with LOTS of M-I-L-K!

Darkcookie hard at work. cha-ching! $$$$ Suckers!

PS: If he doesn't care if you stop donating, maybe he doesn't need the money?
damn you bring up so many new arguments and points that have never been discussed before. really need to think about this one.

I don't have a problem with him adding celebrities and political figures to the game as side characters, but I have an issue with him making them the focus of something like the main story.
Are secondary characters. The main antagonists are the mobsters.

True the main antagonists are the mobsters but mayor Rump seems to have some kind of relationship with them and it seems like he has something to do with the death of the MC's father. A big part the update will be us interacting with him and his family. I personally don't think that a parody of a celebrity should have that big of a role. But that is my personal opinion.

I agree. that's why i stopped giving. Plus his crap is becoming political.
yeah it's pretty blatant neoliberal propaganda from dc. pull yourself up by your bootstraps, start as a pizza delivery guy and you'll eventually save up enough money to drive a sports car and have your own beach house in no time. he's also suggesting that if you have the biggest cock like mc has every woman will want to have your babies including your own mom and sister (survival of the fittest) so only your offspring survives while people with less desirable genetics will not reproduce and just die off.

MC himself seems to be a follower of ayn rand and an hedonistic objectivist. "objectivism is [...} the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute" (from wikipedia).

I do know American politics, and you're being far too loose with calling it political. I'm against parodying Trump simply because it makes him out to be less of a threat than he is, but as of yet the attacks are primarily personal. Trump's "politics" haven't exactly been covered in the game to any major degree, if at all. You can make fun of a political figure without actually pushing a political message, and that's more or less what's happening here. At no point have I felt like DarkCookie is pushing any kind of politics at me. You have to remember he's not even American.

Odette : go to Eve/Grace/Odette house at night after Eve's route (maybe weekends), do the massage scene and click "change angle" to swap Grace and Odette around

Consuela : beach house afternoon, she'll be in the kitchen, initiate buttstuff, swap around pussy/anal just to be sure and replay it another day cum in/out

@Tehemai:

As said before, the story was always meant to happen in at least a somewhat similar way. It's just a conincidence that it happens now.

The thing about Rump is, that his character simply works, no matter whether he's president and what he actually does etc. in reality. He's the perfect shady, sleazy, currupt, unscrupulous, yet obviously dumb but somewhat entertaining evil character for a game like SS, and the fact that he's got a pretty hot daughter and milfy wife makes it even more fitting.

Else one should really keep in mind that the game generally serves the most obvious cliche.

Why do you care what people do with their money
Because if DEV is being paid big money for NOT providing content he will simply not provide it. If after 2-3 months people would stop paying him, he would be forced to produce quality update each 2-3 months.

So I personally care what people do with THEIR money because if they make DEV lazy we ALL get LESS content for game. Clear? I prefer to have 4-5 updates a year not 2-3. Is it strange? :D

With patron system it is our role as paying customer to control DEV and give him enough money he deserve to make quality game but no so much more that he stop caring for our opinion and start milking.

It is human thing that if you can work 4 hours a day or 8 but get this same or almost this same pay you will choose less. People work to live, not the other way around.

How about lolnope ? You're not a "paying customer" on Patreon.
Strange logic... It is true that while we give him money he doesn't need to give us anything. But reality is that if he would not get enough money he would stop making this game. So my argument stand that to maximize content provided the amount of cash he get should be controlled by people who pay.

He gives you a free game once every few months. That's the whole purpose of the page. He didn't lie to any1 about it, he's not running away with $ for a year without anything delivered. You choose whether or not to support him. He can live without your $ and the game will still be made with or without you. And the other ~25k dudes won't stop overnight and the $/month isn't going down anytime soon, so it's just another empty whine post like the other 482174965049635 we got for the last 4 years

LOL, what? Fact that I would prefer to have MORE rather then LESS content for the game make me jealous? :D

I just wrote that ANY sane person who would have possibility to work more or less for this same cash would choose to work less. This is human nature. If you do not agree with that you are laying to yourself.

And just to clarify, I'm not jealous of any creator on Patreon. I have been supporting a lot of them from 2017 to this date. I just think that people should not corrupt DEVs with their money because then all of us get less and less content. It take a lot of bad faith to see jealousy in that :(
