How to piss off patron backers

step 1: take 4 months to update your game

step 2: give little information regarding when the release will occur (only reply with soon) for a week+ when its finally close to releasing

step 3: post memes that post fun at the people waiting
He's talking in the stream about making the Roxxy update in two parts (it's gonna be huuuuuuge lots of lewd scenes and build up) so people stop complaining, please take into account the patreon content problems and and redoing code...

Oh, once again twice the size of previous one and another 4 months, 8 in total? Count me in, can't wait to see it!

This update is by far the largest one to date and they had that bullshit with patreon to deal with and rewriting of the game so it can stay on patreon.

There is 4 teachers with full stories to do where they normally only do 1 story.

Patreon supporter are having a blast in that they have gotten over 30k for DarkCookie to stream naked. (It does not matter to me.)

We could see the update sometime tonight or tomorrow.
You think it'll be as early as tonight or tomorrow? I'm not so confident. I wouldn't be surprised if we're still waiting this time next week.

Why don't you just keep an old version with the incest in it?
Sis, Mom and Aunt won't get any new content any time soon anyway, and would you really bother to grind their stuff again?
Just get the new version for the teachers and if you want to rub one out to incest action switch to an older version.
Because we will have to play from the beginning with characters that are called otherwise. That is, we're in a different relationship with the characters.

While i like the premises of his plan to Roxxy,i cant help but feel a familiarity with way he is handling it...he thought on dividing the teacher update too,and that was one of the things that messed with his schedule....just reminding you that...

It messed nothing. When he got 2 of the teachers almost done he decided, based on people opinion on the streams if I'm not mistaken, to just go all the way and make the 4 in one release, taking the same time as it would have taken with 2 separate releases. The only thing that messed the schedule was the patreon incest thing.

Poeple just get impatient when the release is close. It's always the same shit. I mean, c'mon, one can not calculate a precise date for these things, you just know you are on the final steps and that it will come out soon. And yes one week is soon when you come from a 4 month production lenght.

Anyways, I'm glad to hear about the Roxxy update. I like how the new story arcs are getting "denser", like there's more things happening story-wise compared to the older arcs.

He should just fix the save issue first. As soon as we get actual savegame compatibility the size of the updates won't matter but until that he should just continue like he did with Mia. Release the story unfinished including a final scene but within reasonable time. Releasing updates every 3 to 4 months or splitting them so people will have replay the same story twice to get the final scene won't go down well. It was fine once now but it's certainly not the best strategy looking into the future. As soon as people can use old savegames it doesn't matter if an update isn't complete if they can juse play on for the next update.

I still think he should focus on the main story first,as a big line coded first makes easier to add other ones in the code,he is going for bigger lines but he still will need a bigger one to hold all the lines and variables he wants to put...i really hope he have a good coder/programer since he will need it when everything needs to be put together

As much as i would like to agree with you on that part,when DC started SS he did a mess with the code,and with lots of variables at loose,importing old saves to new version would be like doing a implanting procedure without the thing to be implanted,now that he have a real programer(and for real,i mean more experienced or at least i wish)this may be a reality on the horizon

at this point i don't know who is worse, dc or akabur
i've had so much trust in him when he started developing summertime saga because the updates were coming quick
While it is frustrating that this update has taken quite a while, I think it's a little unfair to lose so much fate in DC all of the sudden. As you said, they develop the updates really quickly and they do say that some updates can take 1 to 2 months. In this case, they mentioned this update would be particularly large because of it's scope and amount of content. Then they had to deal with the Patreon issue and no matter what side you're in, whether it be, it should of been a quick fix or the process takes longer than one would think, I think they've should be given quite a bit of good will at this point that giving them a few extra weeks should be a no brainer. I'm not trying to defend how they handled all this with their lackluster communications with not being able to communicate more then "soon" but at this point, don't they at least deserve more then all this?

Is he making stuff related to the roxxy update on his streams right now? Feels like hes working on the cult. If its a big update its probably more common sense to work on that rather than the cult

It may be unfair to lose hope solely based on the fact that the update takes so long, but really, dicking your fanbase with a shitpost that unironically calls out the fact that he is just saying "soon" as a release date whilst teasing everyone about it is just straight up a no-go, I wouldn't be surprised if hostilility grows. Goodwill is what he needs the most right now, yes, but you're not earning that this way I reckon
