Bug again and again. Can't begin dialog with Debbie about dinner with Diane. Consequently can't begin fishing quest and unlock Pier. After cutscene Debbie and Diane in kitchen immediately begins scene of Movie with Debbie in living room.

Wow I cant belive for someone who recives 50k every month cant hire more people to make the job faster.
i been thinking this too, back to Insexual Awakening again, Sex Curse Studio makes only $1k a month and the Insexual Awakening game is just as good if not as big as Summertime Saga. if SCS can make such a good game by himself with very little to no money compared to DC, DC can very easy too with less for himself, if he were to take that $51k and hire 50 different people and paid them all equally $1k a month and keep $1k for himself splitting the money evenly, he could potentially have army 50 people working under him for each update and still be able to give out viable updates. but no DC wants do milk as much for himself and screw patrons over with lack luster content instead.

lol holy shit, i just realized DC's monthly income went from $56K to $51K just in the last week alone, looks like hes losing patrons fast, hopefully he starts changing things for the good before it gets to bad

ok, i can't do the best math all the time i will admit, i'm no mathematician or clam to be, but doing my own math, if every patron donates $5-15 dollars on advantage i would say $10 would be the middle point that means DC loss of $4K has lost around 400 patrons just in the last week and he has around 5,100 patrons left. like i said i'm no mathematician or claim to be just, my thoughts

I think in DC's mind hiring more people is kind of like giving money away because people have shown they'll donate money regardless of the speed or quantity. Why lower your profit by 3k a month if people will remain patrons regardless?

That said I don't really care how long he takes. Patrons seem to be ok with it and they're the only ones who have a voice in this scenario.

Edit : finding programmers is hard enough for big multi-million dollar companies, I'm sure it's even harder for a small indie porn company. I assume that's also a factor.

This time last week, he was sitting at around $52k/mo. So the bump to $56k is probably indicative of the spike in interest attendant to the new release.

I have no idea how accurate this site is, but here goes:

He's been the #1 adult game dev on Patreon for over a year, and he's a top 5 Patreon overall.

More power to him, says I.

Wrong, I never boasted about it. I personally feel quite embarrassed about it actually. Though the project is still going strong even to this day. I used it to let you know that I do have more insider knowledge about the process then you. Furthermore, I've never claimed to know a damn thing about coding. That's why I've only been a writer. Nor did I ever talk like I did. You popping up with random suggestions that I did, is as much as a mistake as the circumstances surrounding your birth. You are right about me assuming. Assumptions are like butt holes. So I take it back, because I don't know what you've done in life; but you should know that's a two way street there guy.
Just like to point out that not everybody has a butt hole. Ask the poor souls that carry around colostomy bags.

LOL! Nocturnal85, I stand corrected, though the quote still holds its original merit.

yeah now i know that im going to do that from now on :cautious:
Most of the time it's not as bad as this one, last time I made it through without issue, but the closer we get to the end of the old code, the bugs we get are going to be nasty sometimes. That said, Erik does't block us from the new content... Maybe that is their way of ...encouraging people to vote for his update? :p

People always bring up the whole "oh look, people are dropping the patron now, he's losing money, lol!"

The thing is, that's just how EVERY patreon works. After something has been released, people cancel their patreon subscription and fuck off, in order to save money. It happens on all patreons.

GAAAH, why did I involve myself in this money discussion - ugh.

My gawd ! Save from 0.17.0 doesn't works with 0.17.1 ... but the game structure shouldn't be that mush different, should it ?

I'm starting to wonder about the advantage of Renpy structured game ... how to heck does the different scene follow each other ?
Wouldn't C++ more flexible using "independant path scene", conditions and "multi bracchial node" to travel through scene ? o_O

The funny thing here is that despite all that talk, his numbers still went up. As usual it's the vocal minority trying to get people as upset as they are. I guess even their adjusted TMI is still too small. (A like to anyone who gets the reference!) :ROFLMAO:

They kind of work, but because of what got fixed, it changed too much. We had to go back and mess with the old code again, it's going to keep being that way until it's caught up. We need Mrs. Johnson to save us! :sneaky:

My my ! I was hesitating between Renpy, Rpg Maker or C++, I guess my choice is made : independant module and C++ it is ! xD

Hmm, just started a clean playthrough.... during conversations I'm not seeing any art asset for the other character in about half the scenes. No Ronda, no Diane. In some of the scenes there's a red error at the top of the screen saying that the image file is missing. But I've downloaded the game from two different links in the OP in this thread, as well as from SVS, and all of them seem to exhibit this issue.

4 months for 3 sex scenes, what a waste
To be fair, there was a lot more involved in this update than just 3 sex scenes.

Why can't I use saves from 17.0? Is it not considered the same version?
Because if any of the issues causing the bugs are in your save file, it will bork the new version.

0.17 and 0.17.1 saves incompatible? Now that's just straight up bullshit. Fine, if earlier than that won't work due to serious rework, but a 0.0.1 upgrade with bug fixes? Come on.
See above.

It's also the end of the month, people remove their subscriptions before the auto-renew.

Where are people getting this $56k number from? I don't have it ever having gone up over $52k?

wow. his advantage donations are only $3.00 per person, i was way off thinking $10.00 giving him way more credit then i should lol
I mean ... it's basic math to determine that amount. 18k patrons times $10 isn't remotely close to $50k
