This month we have some BIG anniversaries.

First, just days ago the $2.16+ million paid for the Tech Update vaporware finally surpassed the $2.11 million previously paid for all the stories ever actually delivered by Summertime Saga. That's quite an achievement for both DC and his paying patreons!

We're quickly coming up on 3 years of: Wallpapers, gruesome 8 h work weeks, word salad status updates (e.g. this month: renamed some files, assisted the assistant to my assistant with an assist), rEcODiNg eNGineEE, aimlessly doodling rando shit on stream, vacations, progress bar that doesn't show actual progress, micro side-releases nobody asked for, vacations, "(3 to 4 months) to complete", thousands of people hired and fired in da' team don't worry we work very much, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Dude this has to be the most geeky and goofiest shit I've seen on this forum and there are a lot of goofy people here. Imagine wasting time creating an excel spreadsheet to detail how much money a dev for a porn game made and post it on a forum for pirated porn games.
Who gives a fuck? The game is free. More than 90% of the people here(myself included) never paid and will never pay for the game. You're not making anyone stop supporting him. Goddam, how bored do you have to be to waste time on stupid shit like this?

I just want to see the reaction of those more impatient, when the tech update comes out, it's going to be a beautiful game

The only ones who should care, are those who are likely spending already 3 digits in this game at this point.

 

[Sam0009]

To people who are still waiting for the Tech Update.

 

[PayneToTheMax]

Honestly I'd give those VTM fandom lads a pass, it's understandable. Have you seen those sequel trailers, big oof .

They could also just do the mature thing, wash their hands off it and move on with their lives. Hah, I know, silly thing to consider, right?

At least they don't have some Autismus Maximus there doing excel sheets...yet.

 

[Hykarius]

I loved the yesterday live stream! Finaly a work on preggo Debbie!!

 

[Xupuzulla]

I love this thread,that spreadsheet holy shit

to be honest original post back in 2016 meaning game even older then that again. so if you 20 years old now this game came out when you were 10 years old.. been milked i thinks understatement A decade.

So.. DC's a milker now because he does not give a 10 year old his regular porn update...?

GTA 6 drops before SS

This becomes funnier each time i read it here.

 

[Rodjrgr]

[XxXGhost]

So do we start from beginning again cus i have finished all the quest?

Most likely. The whole point (well, the main point anyways) of the tech update was to get save file compatibility in the future. So, in theory, this should be the last time a new start is needed.

This update should have been done ages ago, but stupid Patreon voters always demanded more content updates even when it was clear that it'd make the inevitable tech update just to take longer at some point. Of course, nobody probably would have imagined it'd take THIS long. I don't even think the long duration of this one is due to lazyness (mainly), but simply because those dudes suck at coding. And I'm kinda doubting save file compatibility will be achieved for the future, more likely they'll introduce even more bugs they can't get rid of. That's the real thing I'm curious about with this update.

Save compatibility is in the game since several years now. The Tech Update will require a fresh save, though. Most likely they will also provide a 100%-Pre-Tech save.

Where do those come from?

That's not how I remember it, but I admit my recollection from way back then may be a bit foggy.

DarkCookie deserves everyone's admiration.
And with this "humble" income I'm pretty sure, he can spare some change, of his hard working earned money to hire a bunch of bozos to defend him in the various forums, discord, etc.

edit:
a small tip...
add to your ignore list the 6+ hired bozos and this thread becomes silent as a whisper...

Well shit, will Roxxy ever be able to get impregnated by MC then?

Her update already lost a poll, so it's certainly on DC's agenda. More so, as he already created art for Missy's part, too.

I loved the yesterday live stream! Finaly a work on preggo Debbie!!

It's kinda sad that this kind of actual game information/discussion doesn't even get a single reply. Looks like by now way too many people care more about the money than they do care about the game.

So do we start from beginning again cus i have finished all the quest?

As said, there'll almost certainly be a 100% save. Then again, they have been reworking most assets and have added a lot of small stuff, so there'll be countless small reworked/new details to see. Because of those you'd likely want to replay the game at some point.

That's not how I remember it, but I admit my recollection from way back then may be a bit foggy.

Saves have been compatible since Eve's update.
