Seriously? I mean, I don't usually whine about about monthly pays but with what STS is pulling you could easily have one full-time coder and still have more than enough left over for the rest to have a nice salary for their work.

As long as this game doesn't start producing less content in a month than "Cloud Meadow" makes in a year then I dont mind supporting them. I guess that also means my standards are just low and I may be wasting money, but Cloud meadow is the perfect example of a patreon game that milks its supporters with constant "bug fixes" and no actual content. So at least this game puts out way more content than Team Nimbus that pulls like 20k a month still somehow.

English isn't my first language, so, what does this pre-tech mean?
Click to expand...
Short answer: The development team is working on a huge tech update and while they are working on it, they have released 5 updates with a total of more than 30 sex animations/scene additions. Since these are coming out before the tech update, they are called pre-tech 1-5 ("Pre-" from the latin "prae", meaning previous or before).

Hmmmm, got it. So is it a small update? Before a "real update"?

I feel like these pre-tech releases are kind of fucking them a bit. Like yeah, its great that content has continued to trickle out, however, all of this content that is being released now has to be converted before the tech release can come out. Its like digging a hole and from time to time you throw a couple shovelfuls back in to show you're doing something. Also, its been an absolute ton of content released since the announcement, likely adding a good bit of time to the tech build.

Why can't he hire at least one full-timer? This is a genuine question, he has enough funds to do so after all. Maybe he would rather keep the money he would have to spend on a full-timer for himself and his family, understandable. Not only that but it gives the game's development extra longevity which means more money. Who knows if his next project after Summertime Saga will be successful or if even Summertime Saga will keep it's revenue over the years? Or maybe he just doesn't give a fuck.

Regardless for his reasons, I get why people are irritated with how things are going, crying whiners or not, especially with this tech-update shitshow going on. Regardless of Patreon TOS, DC not being obliged to fulfill people's entitlement, yadda yadda, it comes down to Patrons giving him money to support development of the game and DC refusing to use that money to it's potential.

I'm not saying he should invest every dime or that he should do everything he can to speed up his game that originally started with him dicking around but this isn't a small operation anymore, this is his job and a well paying one at that. He himself set up Kompas productions which means he's serious about this. No skin off my back, the guy could make a million and not update for 2 years it won't be the end of the world, but I can't help but see at least a little sense in people complaining about the way DC works. Unless someone can enlighten me of something I'm not aware about.

Yup pretty much. It's just disappointing to see all these funds go unused, most complaints are because of that. People wouldn't complain as much about it if they made 20k but they're making 90 and so there are expectations to perform accordingly It's like if you were rich and had an einstein level genius kid but he/she decided to work forever at McDonald's. Their choice but you can't genuinely not be disappointed by the wasted potential, especially given all the resources at their disposal and how lucky of a situation it is.

Can always retcon her to be another tenant, like how Debbie and Diane are "friends." (Despite looking practically like identical twins.)

She was another tenant for a while after the big switch, then they retconned her again to be Debbie's daughter. It better fits the story and dialogue changes they've made, and I think DC doesn't want to step in the Patreon incest muck again if he can help it.

You asked why there's no more polls. I ask which kind of polls, since there were batch polls and then future char polls. And you didn't post 5+ times yourself, GJ judging others for what you do too

You didn't pay for the game. Patreon isn't Kickstarter. You donate to devs to tell them you like their games and to continue doing what they want/like. So yes, the game being free still makes sense. It would still be made even if the $/month dropped to almost nothing. It would take even longer too, so people could cry about it

That's not how abandoned tag works in here. And judging by that, the game will never have said tag

Pre-techs were made to have Patrons pass time with something to do while waiting. They also need completed routes. No point doing bonus scenes for girls who have nothing and are in the planned phase till Judith's update.
