Every time I check in on this game it's always cruising at tech update stage....

He makes enough to hire a whole ass dev team but doesn't for some, totally completely unknown reason, but yeah the dripfeed is insane

 

[BobBoober]

Because reading some of the comments prevented my patronship for some projects. So in the end - I'll try to do the same for others.

That's exactly how I see it too, thank you!

By the way it does exist a

You must be registered to see the links

It says eg :

1. Every man has a vote in affairs of moment;
   has equal title to the fresh provisions, or strong liquors, at any time seized, and may use them at pleasure

Sounds wise and still modern enough to me...

How much content is in so far? I know some teachers are back... Feels like around the time when i tested this game first time, was like 2-3 teachers and the ones at home and the blond girl... Whats the next 'planned' return of content anyone knows=?...

 

[jackeasy]

i forgot this one

Looks way too much like Jennie IMO, regardless of whether or not they're intended to be related.

He has had a "whole ass dev team" for many years.

 

[neub1i]

can we just all agree that he is a first-degree scam artist, everyone who defends him is a moron, and we cant do anything anyway, except wait for him/them to release new content we can enjoy?

save your money and stop donating.

that's the only way how to force them to speed up their updating process. If there is a team, he needs to pay them. No money leaves them two choices: 1. stop working on the game and get a job, or 2. release updates and new content at a more rapid pace

I think he ment more than the current team he has cause summertime is a big game for it to be handled by the small team DC currently has

I remember playing this years ago from Patreon, I liked it, but kept losing my save progress on each update. I might give this another try now.

Hiring a dev team costs money. Money coming out of his own pocket.

But it's gonna speed up his progress

His own pocket? You clearly didnt saw how much he gets from people

 

[Ashun]

He doesn't want to tho. Game itself making for him good money so why he should? Ofc for us this sucks, but for him? Win win situation

 

[harem.king]

I know how much money he gets
all the money he gets is his to keep.
thus, any actual expense he makes is from his own pocket.
it isn't company money, people are not donating to the game, they are donating to him personally. to his own private bank account

But it's gonna speed up his progress

Would speeding up make him more money?

Wasnt he making like 100k during the pandemic when he was still releasing content regurarly?

it depends on how big the "team" is. playing around with ChatGPT if he has a team of 5, each gets a net of 2k per month as employees, after taxes he would still earn a profit of around 30k a month that he can put in his bank account.

But we dont know how many employees there are, and how much each earns. This trend though is putting pressure on them which is good imo.

should we play again

In Oct 2023, patron Username7 stated this list from Mar 2023 was still correct:

Main people involved with developing:
DC - art
Strayerror - code
CaptainSploosh - writer
Vole - posing
ToxicCrobat - posing
Mindwright - posing
Jab - posing

Others:
AoiichiNiiSan - music/sfx
sam9 - webmaster
CreamyCookie - HR

You're right that we don't know what each of paid.

any similar game like this in terms of story, graphics and gameplay but with a female protagonist? can you suggest me a few?

not one.

TaffyTales, Five of a Kind, World Of Sisters, MilfToon, AmityPark, and Milf's Plaza are the ones that are similar to this game. All have a male MC but Summertime Saga is by far the best and dominates the market, so dont expect any of them to be better.
