I mentioned the kickstarter campaigns of SC, not the stocks.
the first was for 2 million. and the one to fund the Squadron 42. (When they hired Mark Hamill) made 5 million.

if a lowball calculation of 50k at 2019 , already surpassed 3 million. you really think it can't reach 7 million depending on when it hit 100K? :unsure:

I did mentioned the kickstarters, although I did include Star Citizen ytd. I do think it can pass the kickstarters numbers and I never said otherwise. My point was I don't think it has surpassed those numbers yet.

As an investor I would have liked monthly status reports from the beginning.

Why would that matter? If the one you are "investing" in wasn't providing the information you wanted to have, you shouldn't have "invested" in the first place. One of the most important rules is to understand what you are "investing" in.

Then again, the game is free after all, so there's no risk of losing anything by not giving money.

So many good causes to spend your money on and yet people willingly throw theirs at DC instead. Who are these people?

Who cares? It's their money who are you to tell them where they should spend their money? We all agree that this game has been managed very poorly but at the end of the day no one is forced to support him. Complaining here doesn't do shit. People have been spamming the thread with the same stuff for 2 years now and he is still making more money in a month than a lot of people make in an entire year. That will not change any time soon so just move on to another game.

Not sure if you're being serious... :unsure:

Honestly, yes. This isn't some kind of actual investment - not even something remotely close. On average it's (horney) guys giving some money for a limited amount of time and that's it. Yes, it's a lot, because many people give a little, but in reality there's really one simple rule on patreon. You like what a dev is doing? Give some money. You have the slightest doubt, get bored or don't care about the game enough to inform yourself? Stop giving money.

It's really that simple.

Devs are supposed to work on their project and everything else is really just a waste of time and mainly serves the purpose to attract additional patrons and to create additional revenue. As we've seen, if anything, it makes people give more money instead of less. Once DC started to release these status reports, his earnings started to grow again, even though there hasn't been an update or such and even though they were falling before.

If he had done so from the start, he'd probably have made a few 10k $ on top of what he's earned until now and he'd have wasted a few work days of time he could have worked on the game.

Look at the dev of Light of my life, Naughty Road. His updates take a long time as well. Last update was well over a year, and despite that, it's a much friendlier comment section.

Because the guy actually takes the time to treat you as a human being. It's why I donate to him. A bit of respect goes a very long way, unlike this dev, who could not give a shit, and actively lied to his customers.

I agree that the way they have maneged the project is really bad, but the lack of communication argument is really dumb. The dude livestreams almost every day if you want to ask him questions about the game it's really easy to do so.

Hey fellow freeloaders, what's up?

Oh, it's a new year but the same ol' whiners...

Where can i find whats planned for the tech update? it's been so long.

In the thread. You've seen my posts MANY times in this thread. You are aware I have a FAQ that I've updated nearly 100 times. The last time was December 1 (though I updated it recently) - searching the thread for FAQ posted by me, would have gotten you there. You're either trolling (likely) or on the left side of the IQ curve (doubtful). But hey, while I'm here - see #10 below in the 97th posting:

100k/month :KEK:

It's not 100k per month - it's around 60k per month for an 8-10 person development team. Yes, it's a lot of money... but you don't need to exaggerate or lie.

Have you read any posts by NaughtyRoad to the entitled little shits that come into his thread? He'd fucking chew up the little sniveling assholes. The supporters of NaughtyRoad toss out the "bears" with "trebuchets" and "catapults" all the time. The comment section is "friendlier" - if you think so - because of the self-moderation of the people with more common sense tossing out whining children. I know that thread quite well.

If the Dev is watching this forum I just wanna ask can you add the scrollwheel to rollback? or maybe add a Dialogue History button?
or maybe someone with the knowledge to mod renpy games could add it

If they are, they aren't telling anyone and they aren't giving any indication in their work that they care about what is said in this thread. They haven't communicated on this site since 2021, posting only 10 times in this thread from 2018 to 2021.

Have you looked at the mods link in the OP just below the download links for the game...

Naughty Tribute mod, from the List of Features spoiler:

Also, you could possibly use UnRen to force enable rollback:

But you should follow the warnings about using or enabling rollback in Summertime Saga. The code is already unstable and is lucky to work as it is (hence one of the major reasons why the tech update has been underway for 2 years, 9 months - 26mb of code/script that is tenuously held together is being recoded to be more stable, etc). Using rollback may fuck your gameplay even worse than not having it to begin with. YMMV, User Beware.

if you are going to argue that Dark Cookie (who does all the writing and art) is not the one taking at least 95% of the profits while tossing crumbs to the rest of the "development team" aka nobodies like discord managers and sound guys (SS doesn't even have fucking sound lmao), you may be the most dishonest person on f95.

Since you want to continue to go off-topic - I moved my response the off-topic thread. See ya there.
