Is it abandoned? There were not an update for a very long time.

Just a curiosity, as this is a 'discussion forum': did you read ANY posts before you posed your question? I know there are over 3500 pages but you might read back a few - do a quick search (?)

12 days seems like a really long long time.

I_Need_An_Adult For me it's a combination of above average writing and characters, and a unique art style. And then you add into it mechanics that are like 25% as grindy as other titles, along with, what is by now 118 years since the game launched, a fairly good chunk of content, and it is for me the best h-game out there.

This game started life as a Wincest title and only went to the 'Landlady' route after Patreon cracked down on that content from creators on their platform. So that's the game I want to play, and I mod it accordingly. It has what I think is pretty much the most believable story of all the Wincest titles I've played (meaning how MC comes to bed all the women in his family), and that goes a long way towards enjoyment.

But in a Wincest game, there are only so many possible options. Once you get them, that's it. That's the game; it would be a little disingenuous to suddenly introduce a grandmother or half-sister, or something like that at this stage (unless they could somehow be introduced earlier in the story). So anything else, meaning 'bangables' outside the family, is gravy. The teachers, Mrs Johnson, Mia's mom, Roxxy and her friends, Maria............. they're all basically just DLC as far as I'm concerned, so I don't care that updates come out once every 15 lunar cycles. It's nice to have all that content in the Summerville Universe, and I will gladly play any updates when (or if) they do come out, and that will be a fun way to spend half an hour that week, but that will be that. I don't care at all about the pregnancy stuff or dating, and I certainly don't care about sending MC to prom, or who killed his dad.

Call Maria DLC again and we fightin

When dc plan to restart streaming ?

Original post said today - but if anyone has taken a vacation with the family, we all know what that first day back actually looks and feels like with unpacking, cleaning up, catching up on emails, etc.

Posted 23 minutes ago in the discord -- before you posted your question here (I'm not a member, but I decided to check - just because of you and your question - because I knew the answer would be there. Perhaps you should consider joining if you want to always keep up on the latest info):

On Maria's route; besides the threesome scene, what are the differences between the branching paths?

I think its only the threesome

So maybe if you get 18 you have some more gaming experience. Hopefully.

I will only say one thing, I'm not a hater, I'm a fan of DarCookie and his work, I just want to know why someone can do something like that

And I'm legit wondering why people don't just go and play something else during the wait. This game can be hardly their only wank material, right?

Right?

Discord update, as an aside once this nightmare of rebuild is over I hope they keep Vole on he's made really short work of the routes he was given to repose and he talks in the Discord a lot.

I thinks people are just afraid that the dev is falling into the common trend of farming patreons and then sit back and let the money roll in. Im not saying cookie is doing that im just speaking out of experience.
Devs just go radio silent and after 8 months to a year release an update that at most required 2 months to make.
I dont think people who dont support the creator have a right to complain but for supporters something like that fells like a slap to the face, again speaking out of experience.
The longer the dev takes to update the game to higher the expectations get and if their not met people get disappointed even if the update is great.
Then the dev gives some excuse about mental health and family deaths and expects everyone to ignore the 60 buckeronies they paid for 5 hours of content.

To make it very clear im not making fun of mental health issues and family deaths but its literally the first 2 excuses chatgpt gives you for avoiding hate for being a lazy piece of shit

In DC's case, he hasn't gone radio silent. There's also updates coming from his team (the post above yours as an example).
As for those excuses, some use those excuses to avoid, it's true. At the same time, it's not like those events are outside the realm of possibilities. Who's gonna be the jackass and call them out on it. We don't know what the real identities are of these nsfw game devs so there's no way to check into it. At the end of the day, these are games. Move on and circle back later.

Edit: This is coming from a pirate's pov. As for those 'paying', no one's forcing these payments to continue. Just as they were free to donate and support, their just as free to unsub at any time.

Yes no one is forcing them. But if no one supports them you would have nothing to pirate. and thats the problem. One bad apple and all that. Btw if you look at my screenshot i wrote exactly what you where saying about the excuses: Excuses no one would ask you to prove.

I mean, DC has never claimed meantal health issues and the only real "emergencies" I recall, where his wife giving birth and the the fact that he suddenly had his 3 small kids at home during covid, when everything was shut down.
Getting a cold from time to time (at an above average rate) is something that happens, when you've got kids that age. It's strange, that some poeple seem to think, that someone would work 6 years straight without taking a vacation or without ever having any issues at all. With that kind of expectation it's not really a surprise, that some devs are actually getting mental issues.

Managing your own expectations is crucial once you give money on patreon, but sadly that's something many people just aren't capable of. They suddenly start to act, like they are paying him 60k a month, when in reality the average patron spends about $2.50, while most will give $1. A full year of subscribing to DC costs less than 2 coffees at Starbucks...
