Sadly agree. I get WHY they went with the tech update, but redoing so much of the art and story is a huge step back. And given how long the developement already took it's gonna be hard to keep pumping money into it for another 3-4 years to finish it.

Dude could have literally finished the original, before releasing another version of the game which is a reboot. Nahh. I'm sticking to the OG for now. Not worthwhile to be stressed about anything else til everything gets finished.

Trust takes time to build, but only a second to lose. Once trust is lost, it is hard to earn it back. It's a simple and basic lesson taught since childhood and something that's highly important even in the business world. To forget such a thing...

I think people forget that while the game is one of the most popular adult video games during at least the last decade (if not one of the most popular adult videos games of all time), and millions have played it, and there are mainstream memes based upon it, and many articles and other info in mainstream game sites/magazines, that 500,000,000 people get online for the first time each year. Also, not all of people who have even played a version of the game are lifelong coomers and gooners who have played this game more than once before.
If even 1% of 1% (1 in 10,000) of the 500,000,000 new internet users find the game and give it a shot, that's 50,000 new players each year from that alone. 50,000 who know nothing of what a lot of the people in this thread are aware of.
Hell, while there have been about 50 million views of this thread since it's creation 9 years ago, there are very likely fewer than 50,000 people who have commented in this thread.
We are a minority of a minority of a minority of a minority of a minority. And even if half of the people who have posted in this thread have lost trust in Dark Cookie... A lot of them still post here and download the game - old and new versions.
And as my reply above your post shows, Summertime Saga remains #1 most paid subscribers on Patreon for adult game creators, with the 2nd place creator at about 2/3 of Dark Cookie's paid sub numbers. A #1 position that Dark Cookie has held for 7.5 years. And it appears to be breaking his own sub # records since beginning to release the preview version of v21.0.0 last year.

Doesn't seem to hurt him, if you ask me. Of course, that only gives a glimpse into the consumer mentality of the average american lol.

No he couldn't. The Code of the old game version is so bad that he couldn't add more things in without breaking it. The old Code was like a Time Bomb. Would he have continued, the Game would have been unplayable before getting finished for good. That's why the tech Update was made in the first place.
Also, there were a lot of Girls and Women who didn't got their content done. Just wrapping up the Game without doing these Girls and Women would also result in Hate.

quick question, do the upcoming updates keep your saves or do you have to replay the game over and over again with every update? interested in playing the .5605 now
EDIT: i replayed the rest of the update and i gotta say:
it's a fucking joke. some glazing the dev and his update speed, even yesterday i had the debate on their discord. It's a joke. the debby story isnt even at a handjob. Anyone who defends this update progression is a goddamn clown.

I like the new version, but it obviously lacks content compared to OG. Would be nice if it had built-in relations settings and text window transparency/opacity setting.

Definitely the "old" version, the tech update is bareboned, it's not even worth the time playing it.
it is if you are milking your fan base on for money

they dont care. wait for that guy to argue that the game is free anyway.
Even on their discord they act like it's just normal progression, "we are getting updates, what's your problem?" and keep talking about random stuff that has nothing to do with the game to pass the time.
If you discuss this with anyone some mod woman starts deleting the conversation. they dont like that at all. they live in this little purple circlejerk world, earning likely up to 100k a month for probably 1-2h a day of work and releasing some lukewarm update every 2 months. And no one gives a shit.
that's the state of the game. eat the little breadcrumbs of updates. otherwise, it might be abandoned but they dont want that because it's good money, so they keep milking the steady stream of income indefinitely. Never finish.

Hot take:
All this time spent converting everything to widescreen could’ve been better spent converting everything to Unity or Godot where they didn’t have to dedicate pages of code to every piece of jigsaw asset.

If there was a scam artist Hall of Fame, DarkCookie would have a spot in it for sure.
Since 2020 or 2021, after the main route ending, we dont have a story route, just rare releases about a character with minor roles! Not to mention the gap of almost 2 years of no update... And even so, at the end of this month DC still will not conclude Debbie ' s route!
