Well, he sketched her studying pose today... anyway, it's a good reason to get MC over, I'd guess.

nice, i like it a lot. i hope dc gets creative with the tech update h-scenes. some people have suggested that grace for example should have her sex scene on the bike in the garage. i think that's a little lame as that is would just be a repeat of the odette scene. i'd much rather have a shower sex scene with her or maybe she's at the park or at the mall on some weekdays and you can have public sex with her there. eve could visit you at your place or something, that sort of thing.

147 tasks to do on the new update. See you in 8 months.

rip to my ronda in 2021 hopes

Anyone know if saves from 20.7 are compatible with 20.9?

I saw there were a lot of additions in 20.8 so worried my 20.7 save might get some bugs I might not notice.

ps. Okay the game actually kinda informs you about this, pretty neat implementation I have to say, fingers crossed it migrated well.

I don't recall him working on content for Grace, but I think I remember him working on a bed background of Eve's bedroom some time ago, which would kinda indicate that she'll get another scene in her own bedroom. The same seems to be true for Jenny and Debbie, where I've seen similar backgrounds, too.

Should be fine, mine worked perfectly at least.

Okay thats good to hear.

Does anyone have a 20.9 save file?

To be fair, that's more or less what DC is saying, in terms of story content at least. So there's a certain truth to it and looking at the massive scope of the game it's probably not that wrong. As explained, if it's just (a) scene(s), it's very possible, the more story something needs, the less likely it gets. I recall people asking about more Jenny content and he basically - I'm paraphrasing - said that there's nothing useful left to be added, except for a possible payed prom and maybe a scene here and there.

But that sucks. Like, everyone understands how much that sucks, right? If you have the benefit of having half a game out there, being played, generating a degree of conversation and you can gauge what parts of the game people like best meaning characters, relationships, scenarios, etc. and you have certain things people want more of and certain things people couldn't give less than half a fuck about, why ignore the former? I'm not talking about pregnancy, I get that even though its not my fetish personally, but if you have characters your playerbase is gravitating towards, why flatly shut down the possibility of more content prioritized for them? Why set up expectations in game for that content only to pretend it was never even considered? A good example is a Roxy/Jenny 3some clearly set up by the cheerleading interaction that's a part of both their routes. Nope lol I guess those characters are fully explored! The shittiest thing is even if we like whatever new characters he introduces, this style of development is only going to continue.

Okay so as j4yj4m stated it all depends if the scene is needed in the characters story or not, if it demands it the chances of scene getting added in is greater and if not all you can do is imagine all those scenario in your head and if you're curious enough maybe you will delve into fan art, that's it.

Now I am not saying there is no chance of something not getting added in the game even if its not in the poll or required, but all this depends on DC. I mean nobody knows if he will one day wake up and has the idea that you know what some particular character needs more scenes or whatever. All we can do is chill and wait maybe some of the scenes which people are thinking get added in the game or maybe not, As Omnikuken said maybe in 5-10 years.
So people chill and go on with your life.

I think these are two different things. The Jenny/Roxxy threesome for example still can happen pretty easily and it won't require much additional story to be implemented. That's ineed to case for most of these scenes which the game already hints at. As for why they are not there yet? Simply because scenes take so much time to do and there are too few of them anyway. That's most likely the reason why optional stuff simply doesn't really happen and why we get the mandatory stuff first.

As for the popularity thing? I'm not really sure about that. Going by that argument Roxxy's and Eve's story never would have happened, because a good number of people only cared for Diane, Debbie and Jenny before.

So what I'm saying is, that you don't know what the playerbase actually really likes until you've given them the content. That's why we'll get that first and then there'll certainly be a chance to rebalance the number of scenes.

Nadya's story and scenes are kind of silly. I like how Liu is developed, and her story progression is pretty good. But the payoff scenes are a little bit lackluster.

The way I see it, Liu is like any of the other girls when sex was first introduced. She won't get more scenes until she's voted for the next update. And when she is voted, we'll get a dump load of story and scenes that are a little forced in the timeline of the game. Frankly, I don't know how many scenes would count as being 'enough'. I would love to see a solid dozen for each girl, but even then, I would just think "I also want to see this". One thing I really want is to see them add anal to all the girls. I think DarkCookie just dislikes anal...

Realistically speaking though, DarkCookie isn't using his Patreon funds intelligently. This whole game should have been completed a hundred times over in the years he's had it up, with a hundred times the sexual content. He's making over $90k a month. Hell, a sequel could have been developed right now. Merchandising would even be possible. But the reality is that he keeps his staff small so he can keep his income high, and we're the ones who pay the price for it. Literally. If he was smart, he'd be developing multiple games, hire more staff, and make up the difference in funds through the new games. There's no reason for his pacing other than greed and laziness.

Ultimately, what'll happen is that his patreon support will one day stop, and instead of completing the game with the funds he's saved, he'll just end production. The game now has an ending. It's arguably 'complete'. It's not satisfactory, but he could move on any time he wants to now and live off the subscription payments until people actually unsubscribe their donations. He'd keep the patreon page alive by barely adhering to the user policy and then just coast.

I envision a world in which, with the completed game he releases an asset pack to allow other devs to create mod content that retains fidelity to his art style.

can anyone watch DCs streams or is it patreon only?

 

[Omniel]

Anyone can watch it live or the streams of last 15 days on Picarto. But to get the access to much older stream the patreon subscription is required.

You can watch them on

, he usually streams from 2 to 4PM eastern time, monday to friday.

Edit: And as mentioned, there's an archive for 1$+ patrons which includes basically every stream he ever did, sadly without sound.

If we go by the "whine more=girl is liked" logic : Judith should have been the 1st to get an update 3 years ago and Debbie preg would be a close 2nd

Only took over a week for the milking scamlord claims to come back after the update. Not bad

I also noticed a pretty obvious scarcity of Anal options, and it made me sad. The Eve anal scene is my favorite in the game so far. Just get goosebumps when a girl asks you to fuck her ass. Can you imagine Jenny begging for anal? We already know she likes it, from the buttplug. That would be amazeballs.

 

[SSBBSNAKE]

My fav is Consuela's anal: surprise anal + squishy thicc ass = besto sex scene

Pretty much any anal is good anal....except Crystal or the scenes that don't actually show the anal, and just mention it. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, I just wish it was an option for more of the ladies.

 

[SSBBSNAKE]

idk buddy, i find mighty sexy Crystal her characters is really foward... like "come here baby, good old Crystal will drink all that poison thats in your body"
