35k subscribers, lets say only 5k are paying them with 5$ a month, thats 25k, 10k subs with 1$ thats a 10k, lets say 10k subs are giving them 3$, thats plus 30k, and lets not talk about the ones that are giving them 20$ a month. Cuz even if its 1k with 20$, thats 20k.

Do a full math, they are not taking lower than 100k a month.

AoiichiNiiSan - Music & SFX

CreamyCookie - HR & Cookie Baker

It's basically a 2 man team with the dev doing ALL the art, and one guy cleaning up ALL the coding.

He should at least hire one more coder and an artist to speed up the clean-up progress, which if you think about it is a job hiring with an expiration date, because i think when they are done cleaning it up, they wont need 2 extra each anymore, considering the speed for this patch is "decent" if it would be an actual continuation of the game.

Found a bug where I picked all the magazines before the quest about getting magazines for the art teacher. Now when I visit the places I can't pick up the magazines even though they're already in my inventory. I can't complete the quest. SMH. This game man...sheesh.

It boggles my mind that this game has the level of support that it does. Over 33,000 paid supporters this month, and it has grown over the past couple of years in spite of lacking even a single update until now.

The #2 Patreon Adult Game creator has only 18,000 supporters. Nearly double the size of #2.

It would take 14 Eva Kiss (Good Girl Gone Bad / Our Red String) to add up to this person's level of support.

They have held on to that #1 spot since 2017.

Then look at the update they released just now. It has been a couple of years, and at least a million dollars since the last update!

The milking is strong by this dev.

They are stupid about it too...

With what they are paid they could easily delegate just 10% of their earnings to a team of developers to make actual updates that have actual content and come out more than once every 2 years!

If it's doing this well without releases with content... If it's doing this well with such infrequent releases....

Imagine just how well it would do with a competent team being paid 10% of the patreon money!

My Relation Tweaker Mod should enable you to choose between incest or stepfamily relations for all members of Player/MC and Erik's family:

Now you can really play around with different family dynamics.

This game is the bigest money drain in this site

Summertime Saga was a pioneer on its bubble, in 2016 it was a pretty unique game for its kind, because of that it made a lot of suce$$.

Today if we start to play, we can see the art, the history and the gameplay, everything is mid. Another games already overcome Summertime Saga a long time ago.

I personaly think the developer know that, and he will accept nostalgic blue balled horny guys cash as any sane person in his position would do, but he dont even have any intention to finish this game anymore.

my guy, when DC started this game alone, he was doing more work with adding content and other stuff faster than ever, we had an update like big one every 3 months. Then he said oh okay, lets hire some "workers" so we can work faster, and deliver faster updates/biger updates/more worthy updates ... And what happened?

Also Dc is not from US, so imagine living in some european country or whatever where the salary is barely 10k a year or lets say 15/20k.. but roughly 35/40k a year????? Please my guy, stop defending them. If 40k a year was a small amount for them, they woudn't milk the subsribers like this and take sooo much time for a f*king update.

We have games with much better quality, also a 3D games in renpy too, and the developers are working alone (don't let me count), and they are bringing much more on the table. But they dont need to milk their supporters for a game right? This is not a nasa program, its a renpy game, which now everyone can do it with AI.

This is the thing, DC and his "employees" either do this on purpose, or "they" are just lazy, because this game is from 2016.. hello almost 9 years, u cant imagine how much money has gone in their accounts from only this f game.

And no, everyone here loves content and a story, not "tech" updates. Trust me, they are making waaay more than 36k a year, cuz 35k subscibers, are almost like 100k a month.

And that's it, the luxury life has caught up on him/them/whatever, and they'll keep milking you.
If DC is from europe then he's also getting taxed out of the ass with that income.

At this rate it will take about a decade before DC adds all the old content back and then another decade before he adds all the updates for characters who have been sitting in limbo for several years now.

Just accept that the old version of the game is the closest thing to a completed game you'll get and move on.

With the amount of funding they have, and the amount of staff they have, and the amount of time they are spending, these updates are a complete joke.

For the time they've spent on the "tech update" so far, they could have redone the whole game over from the beginning from scratch, and gone on to finish all the plotlines, with time left over to start developing a whole new game.

Look for yourself. Decompile it and compare the code to another version. Check the amount of actual work done.

They should be embarrassed.

Honestly don't know what's sadder, The state of the game or the mob of goobers fighting tooth and nail to defend DC instead of admitting they're being swindled.
I'm sorry that you are being swindled, but I would say, in my humble opinion, that most people here, if not all, are NOT being swindled.
Disappointed, probably, but not swindled.
