Now it doesn't work like that anymore. He, or they, or whoever it is streaming now can stream all they want but people want to play the game, not watch the streams. Also your profile picture is from the game, so I assume you pledge to the Patreon. I get it, you guys got your hopes up, I used to support this game too. But 2 years with no substantial update? Damn you guys are in too deep. Godspeed.
Well, you assumed wrong (I stopped giving money after Eve's update because I didn't like DC's way of handling choices), but the fact that you go ad hominum right away just by that assumption, kinda shows that it's not really worth discussing anything with you. Sorry.

Fair enough. I don't pledge to the Patreon ultimately my opinion is irrelevant. It's frustrating that devs like this exist and people keep supporting them while there are more deserving devs. Good luck to Dark Cookie and his loyal fans.

I could name a couple of devs here that definitely would be more deserving of money :whistle:
I mean, that's true for anything that's related to public popularity. Money and popularity beget more money and more popularity.

Then again, one should ask the question why SS is still one of the best 2D wegs out there after 3 years of "stasis" - to me that's actually one of the main reasons, why DC is still making so much money. If there'd more good and popular alternatives around, more people would choose these over SS.

But most of the stuff is either just as slow, anime-styled/RPGM or way lower quality. Now that AI has become a thing, that gap will only grow lager in my opinion.

In a recent stream, DC said the tech update will be released in parts. It looks like Jenny's story will be first. After that, a new character story is supposed to be released every 2 months. Let's say Debbie is second, 2 months after that Diane, 2 months after that Roxxy etc. Now you can make your own estimate on when the release will be complete.

And to leave my own opinion on this: How much more obviously do you want to make it look like a cash grab? I wanted to write more, but screw it. I have never paid a cent for the game, but the way DC an his team work is just egregious.
Edit: Economically however, he is doing everything right. As long as thousands of chumps keep throwing money at you, drag it on as long as possible.

NOW he cares about his patreons dissatisfaction,not in 2023?
Damn what a timing:KEK:
A year ago patrons probably weren't as dissatisfied as they are now, that's how time and patience works. And on top of that, a year ago DC wouldn't have been able to even think about bringing out a partial update because they weren't focusing on making a partial update in the first place.

Good grief, every two months for one character? If we assume every character the MC can currently sleep with is released separately that's over 5 years just to reach where we are now plus the time we've already waited.

However, let's be generous and group some content together. Still going to keep the main family as separate releases.

  1. Jenny
  2. Debbie
  3. Diane
  4. Roxy, Missy, Becca
  5. Eve, Odette, Grace
  6. Mia, Helen, Sister Angelica
  7. The teachers
  8. Nadya, Katya, Svetlana
  9. Judith, Lopez, Martinez
  10. June, Tammy, Erik
  11. Maria, Tina
  12. Consuela, Zoey, Roz, Liu, Melonia, Iwanka
  13. Aqua, Daisy
That's still over two years to get back to where we are now (Kudos to those who noticed I didn't even list all the side content).

True. 2D art games with this much content are few and far in-between. But they also generally take the most time to create.

I honestly don't think he cares that much if the game gets the abandoned tag here. But if patrons are starting to show dissatisfaction as well, It's not surprising that he will now try to release something to calm them down. It has been 3 years since the main story was finished and the last update was 18 months ago. The fact that took them this long to start complaining is kind of amazing.

Both can be true at the same time through.
I can imagine some of his big whales of patreons pulling the rug under him recently and DC watching his gravy train in danger made him start working in a pre pre tech update.
Only he knows.

I think that should help people realize that a fair number of DC's subscribers do not subscribe for a long period of time. There are some who probably have been subscribers since day one, but it's far more likely that people who are new to the game only subscribe for a few months as a way of tipping DC and then they move along. Since there is no reason to subscribe in order to get the game because anyone can download it for free from DC's webiste without a subscription, they roll off their subscriptions. Those that remain subscribers for longer include people who want the discord channel access and role, access to Picarto VODs, and other reasons... and yes, there are probably a fair number of "true believers."
Only he knows.
Correct. Also, big whales?!!?!?!?! Bwahahahahahahahahahah

We can't see his earnings after october 16th but his supporters have increased in the last year.
I don't think this forum really influences it that much because if that was the case he would have not gained new subs when people here continue to shit on him. It could be a case of people on his discord and patreon starting to be more vocal about the wait. But who knows.
I think the partial tech update thing is kind of dumb. At this point I would rather wait for the full thing.
