I really think that you and alot of others who are overly concerned with release dates and their correlation to patron donations are confused about what being a patron means.

You are NOT paying for content, at all. You are donating, I. This case on an automatically recurring monthly basis, to an artist be cause you like their art and their process. This has been the case historically with artists and kings/rulers/wealthy people. This is also the case now. You, as the patron, are SUPPORTING THE ARTIST. Period.

You are not contracting for specific pieces of art, that is a commission. You can remove your support of the artist if you feel compelled to do so, but don't treat the situation. As though the artist owes you anything. They dont. And vice versa, you owe the artist nothing.

Please SOMEONE tell me they understand this dynamic!
You’re basically deciding why people donate to a Dev. Each person has their own reasons, not just to be a “Patron of the Arts”. If that’s your reason... Good for you. I donate so he’ll continue to make SS. I can’t decide why people donate or why they stop. If Darkcookie drops the ball a starts releasing Crap, I’ll stop. If he keeps releasing every 6 months I’ll lower my donation. It’s all up to me.

DC shows since the beginning, that he and his staff are incompetent. Look how big the scope of the game become and still the didn't fix the save compatibility problem. But what can we do? who's gonna Force him to do a decent job?

save compatibility is one of the poll options that they update based on, its tied to Erik/his moms story. whenever that wins a poll, they'll fix the save stuff.

Oh yeah, seems they provided a save right before the new content this time around at least. I completely glanced over it when I read the Patreon post.


"For those who want to skip already played content and only have the new content untouched, use this save file:
"

For those who are new, you place the file in SummertimeSaga 0-18-5 >game > saves

If the saves folder isn't there, just make it.

we're counting with patches(i didnt meant fixes by the way)as updates?cool,finnaly we will see 3 updates for year again...(sorry bro,couldnt help holding the joke)maybe 4 or 5 this year if DC decide to do the same with Eve update...
dont get me wrong cava,but DC asked if people wanted him to stop doing those kind of updates/patches in exchange of denser and more worked content(which in sense would explain the time they took)and yet here they are again,even with all the time the updates take to be worked on....i do love DC work,and wish all the luck for completing it,but that is as far i will go,not funding him anymore,even more with the price dollars weight on my wallet...
yup I wasn't counting patches like this 18.2 thing I do get it tho people are impatient and just hate slow updates buuuut man gotta make it work. if its buggy as all hell then I d rather just wait for every version from 16.5 to 17.5 or 18.0 to 19.0 its very annoying to see people freak out over this... either go rub or tug one out in some butter filled outhouse or just watch a fuck faced fat midge on youporn or something... throw a midget on a short pony D

yet he tells you? get your bum ass complaints outta here! he said this problem would be fixed when its able to be fixed and that would be when its done or almost complete. if you read the descriptions don't complain you know what you are getting into just like everybody else.

See that is the problem. Something so fundamental to the replayability of the game like save compatibility should never be a poll option. That should be done by the developers regardless of patron vote, especially because poll voting is tiered. I was a $1 supporter for a very long time, because that was what I was willing to pay, and honestly for awhile all I could afford. I never once got to vote in any of the polls. So, my point is that when I hear people say that if save compatibility was so important to supporters, they would have voted on it in the polls, that is not really the whole truth. Because, you have what I would imagine is a good chunk of his supporters not being able to vote. I know it's tied to Erik/his mom's story, but I have a hard time believing his supporters would be that pissed off if he just said you know what guys, to clean up the code on this game and also implement save compatibility for future versions, we are going ahead and working on Erik/his mom's story. Polls will resume as normal once this update is done. If anybody gets pissed at that, then they don't give a shit for what's best for the game and its foundations, but just what satisfies them. And yes, I am being facetious, because I know this is the case.
