Yoo, i love your enthusiasm but keep it in one post? ,)=

Sorry. It comes from catching up and thinking I'm only going to respond to one or two messages. I've combined a lot of them to make fewer entries.

DC earns that much because the patrons consider his work worthy of the money they put in, and people are free to spend their money however they like. If you are a Patron, and are dissatisfied with the content, pull your money out. Enough people doing that will send a message loud and clear. If you are not a patron, you are playing a pretty good game, that the dev put a lot of work into, absolutely free. So your complaint is that you aren't getting enough for what other people paid for? wow

Especially if others deliver content that is superior to what he has been delivering.

Are they though? SS is not some koikatsu game, all the art and animation is made from scratch. If you have other indie games with that level of quality, please let me know, I'm missing out on some gems.

 

[sstrangemd]

is there any futa trans content in this game ? in unlocked gallery theres no futa characters

Yeah there is, it's in Eve's route. You get an option to pick their gender once you reach a certain part in their story.

I first played this game like 2 months ago, so I don't have the years-long frustration everyone else does but I get it I guess.
I've been playing a ton of games the last few months and I always feel like updates for ALL of them are lackluster. At least with Summertime Saga, the animations are good and the drawings are hot. Because of that, I feel like it's still good. To me, it's "THE" game.

The vast majority of games on here are getting under $1000 per month on Patreon. So most of them usually have to do this stuff in their spare time, you also are talking about spending 100-200 hours to create content that most people will complete in 2-3 hours at most if they take their time.

Just look at what it takes to make super long games, Cyberpunk 2077 had it's teaser trailer in early 2013 and the game is finally releasing in late 2020. That is a huge developer with a large budget, now imagine how much work one guy has to do to make these games. Summertime Saga is the exception here, they get a ton from Patreon and have a fairly decent sized staff. Despite that animating all this stuff, and doing all the coding takes far more time, and effort than how long it takes to experience the content.

I've been a patreon of DC's for 3 years. In all that time I've never felt the need to complain about any of his work. He gets an update out when it's ready with minimal bugs. If he was putting out shitty updates and never fixing bugs I wouldve stopped my subscription. Maybe its my age, but I've never seen a need to complain about a good product. Thanx DC.

 

[Toolman6971]

will there be a time in which you won't need to restart a new game to play the new version?

Worked fine for me.

 

[SirWilliam]

I think you replied to the wrong dude

sorry that all i can say

 

[Rex72]

As of now I have played up to the "date" with eve on the roof and I have seen many continuity errors in many situations. One example, I cut the grass but the seen with mom in the landry happend the next day not just after when it was suposed to. I get the inpresion that this happens alot more this update 20.6 than ever before, has some thing gone wrong with the program/game?

 

[Omnikuken]

.... snippppppp

Especially if others deliver content that is superior to what he has been delivering.

As another dude asked above : show us some game(s) where everything is hand-drawn and animated that can outperform Summertime

I have stopped being a patreon a while back. Also, I know all of this is my own opinion if you or others feel that what DC is delivering enough to justify your $69,000 a month. All the more power to you and best wishes to all.

You sound like 1 dude is paying everything alone : let's do basic math > 69000$/~26000 patrons = roughly 2.65$ each. Most coffee places (used to) charge way more for flavored water. And that's once every day-ish for some people. While you pay 2.5$ a month to help DC make a game, yet slobbers around here call that a milking scam ......

 

[Sypher1976]

Been trying to progress past the Iwanka party scene to the guard. But, it never advances, even thou I have the required Charisma point. Been at it for 2 weeks, finally gave up. Game is bugged.

 

[Omnikuken]

^ Slight nuance there : YOUR game is bugged, most of us got past that a month ago

 

[DragonFire]

I'm not a Patron of this game so I can't complain, however based on these fact bellow I will not become a Patron either:

19+ hours of replaying version 0.20.5 wasted, old saves doesn't work, again!
It already has 26,356 Patrons, netting in a $69,319 a Month!
With that kind of income it should be possible to not just fix bugs and put in a little new content, with that kind of income it should be possible to hire people for larger contents, bug testing prior to release, heck even voice acting!?!

We've seen it before, the more money a game makes the more lazy it's devs becomes. Am not saying that's true for all games or devs, but it's a "trend" I've noticed a lot the past years.

I did enjoy playing this game once, but I did not enjoy having to replay everything every time a new version came out, just to see a little bit of new content. I did not enjoy having to download the whole game again either, for what could have been done with a patch download.

But again, I can't complain because I'm not a patron, however I can voice my opinion and thoughts.
Have a nice day folks and stay safe

 

[xavier217]

I hope DC releases a part 2. Having the suggestive dialog about Eve going to the crypt is kinda pointless if that never becomes an option.

 

[PhoenixAgain]

Let's just agree that this update is extremely lackluster for what I wish could say was the first time and leave it at that.

1/2 the game is teasing and cliffhangers that go nowhere, this is just another 1 and nothing will (probably) happen

This update is a bugfix patch every larger build gets. You got a free scene added as a bonus since it's Halloween.

 

[disappointment31415]

The game crashes after I deliver the milk from Diane to Tony's and I have to go into the back.

Exception: DynamicImage u'maria_body_b_[M_maria.outfit]_falling[M_maria.pregnancy]': could not find image. (u'maria_body_b_casual_falling')

Anything I can do to bypass this?

Try saving at the overworld, and then loading in the newest version. My saves worked fine when I updated to 20.5 and 20.6 by doing that, as was instructed. If that still doesn't work it's likely an issue on your end, not really the game's fault.
