I actually had a post similar to this but it was too overboard so I decided to scrap it half way through.

And you're right, so many other devs, especially on this website deserve funding. Some of them really push themselves and work when they're sick but receive less than 1/4 of the SS donations.

On that note 2 games I recommend donating to over SS are "Aurelia" and "What a Legend!"



edit: *The game has also increased in quality which we have to give credit for but the trend is still up from when we started getting animations*

And 395 games, DrPinkCake and Chyos (if you like RPGM games).

As I've said before, I like DC, but from what I've seen and even liking STS, it would be a big mistake to gamble my money on their team. The game is free, and I'd rather waste my time 2 years than waste 200 bucks on wallpapers AND waste my time.

There are more serious and hardworking developers out there, and their work should be more recognized than it currently is.
The way I see it, STS in a hobby that became too serious. It's a very good game, but it's a first project and I think that as such, it should have finished a long time ago to start another one in a much more professional way, with a team and with a good planning behind it.

The other DEVs have been very serious with their work (offering the game for free as well) and have also been very transparent (like Pistachio and Chestnut from What a Legend), so they have much less pressure than the StS team. It's a pity that their games don't get love from patreon (except DPC), but I'm convinced that they are a good example to follow in most cases for future developers.

If the reason the development has come almost to a halt for 2 years now because the tech update has them remake every scene, go back to fix everything, pose every scene manually again, even create new programs just to automatically pose scenes. Why didn't they just split the game into two parts? Imagine how much easier work would be if they just left the game alone and added new scenes to a sequel/part 2 without having to worry about it breaking something or having to remake already existing scenes.
Seems like sunk cost fallacy at play. It's going to take them longer to put out the tech update than if they right now just abandoned Summertime Saga and put the new scenes in Summertime Saga 2.
How many years will it take for Darkcookie to realize that they wasted all their time on old scenes that everyone already saw and will just skip past when they play the new updates?

I totally get people recommending Pistachio and Chestnut, but DPC? You literally have to pay $10 to play the game anywhere close to the release, the cheapest tear gives you nothing but the feed and "his thanks" (not even the game...) and he actually tried to prevent people from leaking premium content in the past. These are objectively 3 huge reasons to not support him in the first place - like at all. He really shouldn't be on any "commendable devs" list.

When it comes to Pistachio and Chestnut, it's simply true that they suffer from the very long release schedule. People complain that DC is releasing few updates, while What a Legend! has been pretty slow (basically just as slow) from the start. Back in the beginning I still recall them wanting to keep a 3 months schedule, but that never happened in the first place.
If you only relase 1-2 big updates a year, it's hard to grow your game substancially - unless you already have a huge following.

March, 24 2023 will be officially the 2 year anniversary of the last real content update (0.20.8) since they started their tech update. The fact that DC hasn’t gotten the Blackgate Bane treatment by his patrons is wild. I guarantee if every patron dropped their tier to $1 we would see actual content in less then 3 months

So, what's your point? Why do care so much?

I agree, I would say maybe make the content from the last 1-2 updates in the correct format, then move forward with more content and forget the old stuff... The "news" page has shown the same status forever, lol. I just want some Rhonda content. :p
