How does this site affect patreon ? Quite a lot considering that most people wouldn't even know about existance of most of the games here without this site in the first place. Devs begrudgingly relize that this site is major advertizer for their games.

Edit: Abandon tag can turn potential backers away.
That's certainly true for newer games and lesser known devs. SS on the other hand is still so popular within the mainstream and present on almost any platform/social media that's connected to 2d porn, that F95 will have a much, much smaller part in advertising it.
People who are into 2D games will come across SS pretty quickly and even those who are just looking for 2D porn, may find it sooner or later.

If you add, that the game is free and people can download it from DC's homepage, and you've got another reason, why people wouldn't care about F95. They see the game on some x-rated platform/social media and download it from DC's homepage/patreon - no need to visit F95 in between.

I'm not saying it won't have any effect, but in this specific case it's definitely not as big as some would like it to be.

Edit:
How did you become aware of this site's existence?
I think most people will find F95 because they want to play a game, that's not freely available. But in SS' case, precisely that group of people won't show up here in the first place, because the game is free to begin with. Why would anybody bother to register on some random platform, when you can just get the game with one click from DC's homepage?

For the average adult game developer that makes less than $100 per month on Patreon (Yes, that is what the median adult game developer receives from subscribers... even after more than 2 years on that platform)? Yes, F95 can help them increase consumer awareness and something posted on this site might be a major influence.

For a developer who has been active for over 7 years and has over 33 million search results on Google for their game? Over 5 million of those being video results? A game that widely used tiktok hashtags? A game that has been downloaded over 100 million times across various platforms over the years (nearly 70 million downloads of the android version on one site, alone --- and it's not this site that I'm talking about)? A game that has popular memes in "mainstream" social media? No. Whatever is said in this thread has very little influence on the success/bottom line. Bitching and moaning by people in this thread is simply farting in the wind. An "abandoned" tag changes little to nothing on the financials. Back in 2016 it could have. Now, no, not so much.

Of the 6.6 million F95 members who come to this site, most don't even read the threads. They just download and go (the average member with an account posts fewer than 2 posts, themselves). So every time someone posts a whining lament here, they only bring the game up to the top of the queue for people to look at and download. Every whine in here only INCREASES visibility.

Also, one of DC's biggest consumer base doesn't even speak/read English. They frequent other sites which are in their languages more often than coming here. And they are downloading to play on their phones, which is one of the major reasons for the tech update - to give mobile users a better experiences in playing.

So, no. An "abandoned" tag is only a placebo for people on this site who think it actually matters. It doesn't. At least not for the more popular adult games.

You're missing the point.
Unless someone already knows about this site, they've no reason to come here and it's not the only pirate site for porn games/comics/videos.

Short of word of mouth, someone has to be already looking for the porn games/comics/videos, and it's most likely they find it through other similar sites where they've already found what they're looking for but with arguably lesser standards of access/downloads and unofficial support for the thing they want.

Throw that together with the context of what Marphey stated, and both our responses together, and his statement gets even more ridiculous and ignorant.

I think it happens once you spend a bit of time here. Once people start to write posts on F95 regularly, it'll likely become their first choice to find new games, they'd like to play.

At that point it's easy to forget, that F95 only represents a tiny, tiny amount of the total playerbase.

well , got to talk about something , summertime saga sure looks dead , what 13 / 14 months of nothing other than changing the progress from 84% back to 75%

so how about pizzas , soda and snicker doodles

:cool: :ROFLMAO:
Actually it seems that things are actually finally started to progress again. they reduced from 84% to 74%, than it progressed to 75%, soon after 76% and now we are at 77%(it was actually close to 78%, during streams he gives exact percentage and if I remember correctly it was something around 77.60%)

EDIT: checked and it was 77.66%

I'd believe it, if there weren't potentially more porn game piracy forums out there, as well as this nifty website called YouTube. And believe it or not, there's legit let's plays of Summertime Saga and other games on there.

You know, i think regarudless of all our invididual feelings on this game. I belive we can all agree going over a year without a proper update and still no proper end in sight is a bit nuts. I know plenty of games take months to update but over a year is never a good sign for any game on this site.

I mean yeah, no one in their right mind is claiming that development for the tech update, and by extension the game itself, is going smoothly. It's a fucking shitshow and I don't understand how suckers keep shoveling money on DC's mountain of gold when development has been stuck for years.

That doesn't necessarily mean any of the delay is deliberate and that DC is stringing people along though. If anything, the facts rather point towards sheer incompetence and terrible management.

Someone reacted to an old message of mine here saying this game is stuck in 82% for months. I checked the status now and its 77%? What? Did the game regress? This guy really wants to milk the hell out of this game. lol.

What does "Pre-tech" mean? Are they changing engines or something? It's been a couple years since I last checked the game.
Something to do with the game resolution and changing the game code. But taking a look at the time of development you can see that Dark Cookie is actually making Unreal Engine 5.5 porn game edition.

Yes, the game actually regressed. It seems that they lost an hard disk with a lot of data so they had to redo again a lot of work .

If you are a Patreon, then please... Suggest them to employ make use of free services in the cloud for image work in a private account and git like features sites to have the code revised and versioned in a private account. So they could have more secure the work and better organized.
