Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5258] [Kompas Productions]

[Gzowl_LiP]

When people side with lazy devs, it just rubs me the wrong way...
you do understand that if you just say "oh its just 12$ a year, why do you care" then there is no helping you.. If you have any clue about life in general you would know that bad behavior should not be rewarded ffs, the development started 2016.....its 2023 now.. for this amount of time you could have made at least 3 games...

He could have made 3 average games. But then, what's even the point, if all his games one can expect to be in the same style? Just for the sake of a different title? The game already has a ton of content, and I don't see the point of developing something else when he can just keep expanding the same universe.

but for me the problem is that, as a user id like a product to be finished in a reasonable time. this and some other devs are taking the piss. this sort of game could be done in 2 years max, without any crunch time

What is your area of expertise to be able to declare, with such a degree of assurance, how long such a project is supposed to take?

Why do I get the distinct impression that you are, thoroughly and unashamedly, talking out of your ass?
---

Although I'd obviously prefer more updates, I hope he just keeps adding content to this game, than start a new one any time soon.

I thinks people are just afraid that the dev is falling into the common trend of farming patreons and then sit back and let the money roll in. Im not saying cookie is doing that im just speaking out of experience.
Devs just go radio silent and after 8 months to a year release an update that at most required 2 months to make.
I dont think people who dont support the creator have a right to complain but for supporters something like that fells like a slap to the face, again speaking out of experience.
The longer the dev takes to update the game to higher the expectations get and if their not met people get disappointed even if the update is great.
Then the dev gives some excuse about mental health and family deaths and expects everyone to ignore the 60 buckeronies they paid for 5 hours of content.

Here's the deal, there are barely any supporters here, yet the bitching has gone through the roof in these past few months. So clearly people who don't any stake in this bar the furious need to rub one out do think they have a right to complain. And to those I say: look for another game to fap to. This entire website is full of them.

Also don't most patrons pay like 5 buckeroos per month to support him? That's not exactly bankrupting anyone. Sure those that like 50 or 60 bucks might feel that way, but the average patron pays far less than they do for all the others bills that want for payment every month.

And I don't know about any mental health issues or whatever on DCs side. See, I don't have time to keep up with devs 24/7, and I'm legit suggesting some people here should try to work on that too. That might actually be good for their mental health, because at this point it feels like downright obsession.

Managing your own expectations is crucial once you give money on patreon, but sadly that's something many people just aren't capable of. They suddenly start to act, like they are paying him 60k a month, when in reality the average patron spends about $2.50, while most will give $1. A full year of subscribing to DC costs less than 2 coffees at Starbucks...

But I gave him less money than I made while I was in the bathroom at work, so he owes me 6 hours of new content per month!

Quick question: does the incest patch work with the current build? Its dated 2021.

and no this is not hating on DC for milking the shit out of this game, kudos to him he is doing something me and a lot of people would love to be able to do.. but for me the problem is that, as a user id like a product to be finished in a reasonable time. this and some other devs are taking the piss. this sort of game could be done in 2 years max, without any crunch time

Ill be honest id make it so that he only gets access to 50% of the cash until he finishes the game...

Reading posts like this I feel a strong urge to double my Patreon support for DC, just to piss some people off.

Yes, it's slow. No amount of moaning will change that. Especially not here. Deal with it.

Btw/ I hope the game is *never* finished. Seriously!

It's one of those Schrodinger's Games. It's finished, in that the main story is done, and it will never be finished, in that they will never stop adding new girls and scenes for existing girls. But yeah, I agree that I hope it's never finished from the perspective of development ending.

The universe will succumb to heat death before this game gets finished.

I don't know what's unclear about what I wrote. The game was finished a long time ago. If by "finished" you mean the end of development, I hope you're right that it will never be finished. We all hope that.

God, I hope it's close then. That way the bitching in here comes to a stop.

Newbie? says the guy from 2019... Its guys like you the reason there are a lot of unfinished and quick money grab games. Its a fact he gets 50k a month, its a fact cookie claims the coding is behind and not the art work. So let me tell you something, with 50k a month he could literally hire a small team of python coders to catch up with his art work, but do you know why he wont do it? because he gets more money like this over the years, its simple math. You can spend your money however you want, but you are feeding a parasite that its becaming a trend in other devs.

Speaking of the code lagging behind. I feel it's an excuse that reveals a lot about DC, he's been so successful that if he ever sees his subs are dropping, he will be able to quickly set stuff up and then release another "Not" Tech update and he will have a another batch of people that will wait with baited breath for another 3 months to a year. He's more or less set for life at this point and it's because he's able to milk his product for as long as possible and success has made his fans addicted to his work.

Honestly it's better to have a lot of games to be playing instead of being laser focused to a few or one even.

I thought the game was finished once the mayor/russian got locked up, only thing left is getting girls knocked up

That's a nice list of games you have. I personally play The Headmaster, What a Legend and of course Summertime Saga. You are missing Princess Trainer, Witch Trainer, Porn Empire, Wicked Rouge, Rouge Like, Harem Hotel and Lab Rats 1/2 if I am looking right.

My most recent discovery, however, is Fallout 4 with Advanced Animation Framework and Family Planning Enhanced installed. Best porn game ever, plus epic story.

I personally don't use FO4 for lewd stuff but it's genuinely crazy what you can do with modding in that game.

Remember, there is another main story line, finding a date for the High School Senior Prom College Sorority Dance.

imagine you were darkcookie. imagine you would realize that you get paid 60k a month no matter if you work or not. imagine people still defending you for free on message boards even though arguably the last good update you released was in 2019 which is 4 years ago. honestly the guy must think he cracked the cheat code to life.

I probably won't make many friends on this topic, but you can't blame those who complain.

The game has a crazy potential and it's not exploited. The development is dragging and sometimes you get wallpapers made the day before in the stream. It's a bit sad.
