Almost done!
Update 0.18 status:
Art, Writing and Posing are done and we are simply waiting to receive the final 2 animations to plug them into the build and bug test the last parts. Sometimes, animation can take time if they have complex character movement, so be patient! I realise that perhaps animation has tendencies to delay the releases (happened before) so I'm actively looking for additional animators for the next updates. This should speed up the process in that regard. Sorry about the delay!
0.18.5 extra Jenny scenes:
I've been working on those extra scenes I always wanted to add to Jenny's story and I'm done the art for the hscenes. Just have to do a few poses and then send it all to be animated. This extra content should be released shortly after 0.18!
0.19 development:
I've begun doing a lot of prep work for Eve's update, as well as stream content for it. Eve will have quite a large story, with a ton of content, and 3 female characters with hscenes (and pregnancies!). It will be the biggest update so far in Summertime Saga's development, with varied story options, lots of content/new locations and multiple girl pregnancies.
If you have ideas/suggestions for Eve's story, feel free to message me on Patreon, email or Discord! I like to hear your thoughts on improving Summertime Saga!
See you soon on release day!

NEWEST IN-GAME SCENES! From 0.18.5 (Spoilers): + Saves pastelink.net/rdhl
I am stuck trying to write the password of porn channel. I found the email, obviously, but nothing happens.
Found a bug,The Jenny story doesn't have a lot of new stuff. seems that you didn't add the last 5 months worth of work in the update.......oh wait.
Btw thanks for the update been excited for a Jenny update. She's my favourite character Sorry posted on the wrong thread, hoping for a quick response. Although i have read that this update is buggy so i might wait for 18.5, idk, still appreciate the game though
hey dc, I can't seem to download 18.0 despite logging onto kompas with no problem. When i try to download it gives me a message saying it was an invalid download session. I've tried multiple times with the same result so i was hoping for an explanation.
Found a bug. Treehouse background is trying to load closeup images under the old name at night.
It doesnt let me login to kompas
9 hour download really see you tomorrow when the non pledges get it.
Isaac You give me the game link plz
So much for patron bonuses might as well been a free loader.
Say yall boys in the morning;)
Good luck downloading, with 10,000+ people downloading all of us going to have REALLY slow download times.
Private server doesn't bog down. Leechers' server probably doesn't even have it yet
finally fap time loool!
Pledgers can download on kompas, leechers can wait
Its out boys, check your Kompas account
#releasethecookiecut.
Spoiler antman goes up Jenny's butt and expands.
Keep up the good work, you dirty rich mo-fo.
Some of you folks are hangry for this. Personally, I'm really looking forward to Eve, so this update is just a red herring.
when is it done uploading?
I believe him its legit.
F u man xD
^ DO NOT CLICK
It's ok, you can click, it's not a virus I promise
It's up! <a href="https://summertimesaga.com/download-0.18" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://summertimesaga.com/download-0.18</a>
Interesting. It means that either you hacked the site or DarkCookie did create that troll link.
The changelog he says you can keep your nasty changelog.
I'm a patron as well, when is the changelog?
Imagine a world where promises were kept.
It's still on 17.5 when will it release?
He'll do a new thread for 0.18 with the changelog. You probably won't be able to download without a pledge though
He just put 100% while they fix the remaining bugs.
The bugs have been fixed
How can you verify that?
Boys it’s time
#BoycottDC
I agree boycott dc Batman v superman sucked!
People just need to cut back on supporting him for a while. It's obvious he's become too comfortable
Cmon boys we can get to 2000 before release
Foda que o cara não da nem um feedback, deixa todo mundo esperando, toma no cu.
Neh
Vai liberar só amanhã esse fodido
My skinny noodle requires marinara sauce
tranquilos, solo queda esperar un poco jueguen algo por mientras para pasar el rato
WHY IS IT STILL 0.17.5?!?!?!?!
Yes, I am also the same
Que demora da porra.
I feel like Diane after being milked this long.
After this release, I'll see you guys next year, hopefully they release something for Halloween maybe the Succubus character that won last year for the most votes.
it's realesee !!!!!!! 0.18 ready TO DOWNLOAD !!! GUYSSS
WHERE IS THE FILEEEEEES?!?!?!
kkkk
....
Alright everyone can calm down now, they are releasing as we speak, just wait for the files to upload.
So where's the 0.18 update so I can download it, it says it's complete for Christ sake?
Probably preparing the installation packages for WIN/Linux/Android et cetera...
DC please don't play with my feelings!
Yu-Gi-Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!
Just changed from 220/228 bugs fixed to 220/220 bugs fixed.
still 0.17.5
the summer is comming
My body is ready!
My skinny noodle requires pleasure
May I join your quest master rabbi?
Calendar hits May and everything went 100% 🤣🤣🤣
Come on! You got your extra month charge. Let's go
I don't think people understand what a scam is. You are voluntarily giving your money to support development here. A scam would be paying for a game and then not receiving it. This game is free. If you're unhappy with the speed of development, opt out like I did. Unfortunately, toxicity is contagious. This is why porn is for adults. Children are too easily disillusioned to reality.
Actually it has been proven that at any age someone's judgement and attitude can be completely altered due to certain chemicals in the brain being released. (For example those that are released when you are horny) So saying porn is only for adults insinuating that the people being that are being toxic are children is very ignorant.
Might say 100% finish, but that's going to change soon. lol
finally
Fuck
Cmon boys let’s get to 2000
I’m so proud of this community
F U
He is a fraud and a scam artist
stfu
Finally almost done. I didn't actually expect him to release it on billing day, but apparently that was hoping too much. There's the off chance it's just a coincidence, but seeing as how the project already seems mismanaged I doubt it.
Wait there are 15 bugs yet to fix?
I got used to wait, at least he delivers.
What a douchy bunch!
Anyone want to wager that DC is going to blame the animators or QA or coding or something along those lines for the delay? I bet he will. I doubt he'll take any responsibility for how long it took. Also, BTW, if you want you can go to his picarto channel and watch him play video games during his stream from a couple weeks ago.
How would he blame himself ? His part was done weeks ago. Blame his inability to manage a team or him not hiring more/better people .....
Guys, did DC mention about when 0.18.5 would be released on his stream? 2020? Because it says "shortly after".
Not even "almost done!" huh *said jokingly* We should turn it into a meme!
Oof I guess the people callin out that it would be 100% by May 1st so you could get your money were right. Gonna pull support over this one mate. Didn't think you were like that but I was wrong apparently.
The real drop will come once the update is out and people will see that it's as shitty as diane's one haha. I mean, this update is centered around REWORKING exisiting content after all so it definitely won't be as satisfactory as people would hope it to be after half a year. Some scenes may also get deleted because dumb cunts on discord advocated that they were "too rape-like(Wtf?)" so better remove them haha. What can I say, this is a result of listening to people who don't know jackshit and tell you what you want to hear without an ounce of objectivism.
I hope you're wrong... But I'd bet you are 100% correct.
$53k to $48k... sounds good and now maybe they take care more than before
at the start of every month it drops around that much. It will rise again just wait
Anybody tried to login to their Kompasproductions download page? All I get is "Unexpected response from Patreon API" I see a shitstorm coming when it's finally out but nobody can download because of this...
he said on stream that he will try to release it today
Crazy how he waited until billing day
So, it begins.
Is it out yet
the patron and the one who finances a project (a work of art) and then receives the work and becomes his own but the stupid ones who finance DC what will they have ???
A near week I bin waiting sent 17 drop
Never seen so many people crying over a free game. You're a patron to support development. If you don't like what he's doing, opt out. I did. It is THAT simple.
nobody here cries to get the update !! but for the scam that DC and COMPAGNI are carrying out
Wait wait wait wait
븅신들 ㅋㅋㅋ 돈으로 장난질 치다가 후원금 떡락해버렸네 ㅋㅋㅋ
he lost 1k patrons today so that is why we have 100%. but now they need 1 week for debugging
if it was only that easy... it dropped because payments bounced. hopefully no one fixes it and the the pledges go even lower. It's so dumb that he waited till May to release it. It'll be coming out this week sure, but that's a whole month wasted of support wasted for the next update...
Supposedly 100% right smack dab on the first of the month? LMAO. Couldn't be any more obvious that he purposely waited until April ended.
He has employees to pay and has to think about his own finances (growth of the business). History has shown that if he releases before the first of the month, people will pull their money out after getting the update. He's really between a rock and a hard place.
Ver18.01 will be released 8th may..for patrons and free ver on 10th..
Why do you keep saying that? DC hasnt made that clear anywhere
Clarence can u tell me about the exact time it will release???
That idk bro
100!!!!!!!!
I said ryt
Finnaly 100% after 6 month
DC always saying that he needs to hire some people for faster updates. LOL! He said that like many times still we can't see progress and faster updates with quality content. Again i'm no patron of this game and not planning to. But it's so obvious that he's milking people. Can't even posts updates to his supporters. Wake up people! he will just do this again and again and just say sorry if you all continue to support this dude. Can't even take criticisms nor answer the complaints to improve his game. It's a disappointment that a potential game has the worst creator. No hate just my opinion.
Writing and coding will end today DC said
and u rly belive that?
He didnt
He said today he will
Hy guys I have good news. I asked DC he said he will realease today
^ facts
im out whenn the game is release over here when i can get jeeny boom im out cause anywy next update will be in 2020
i'm glad to see that he's dropped below $50k a month, but there's still an obscene amount of people who are letting this guy milk them for easy cash.
Oof. Now at 49,000 dollars. I hope this means that people are waking up and willing to hold DC accountable.
This next update better be good asf for how long its been
patrons need to just cut back on support for now. DC's too busy spending his money that he has no time to earn it.
I agree, its been such a long time.
Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
idk if its normal but DC lost +300 patrons (when i saw was 17175)
i think it's because u need now 10$ per month if u want to see the wallpapers instead of 5$. i thought about it too to stop my payment
And the wait continues ... well until this month is my support for the project after the update 0.18 I think I will return at the end of the year, and I hope they have some progress
You are not alone, there a lot of people leaving the project after this it appears. I know I'm done now after this.
I have a feeling they are going to release tonight. DC said yesterday on his stream he was going to push for it last night and I dont think I've ever seen 40+ changes in 24 hours before. Hell, twice since it hit 95% we had a "0 changes in the last 24 hours". I have a feeling DC is feeling the heat. Hopefully he's offering bonuses to get it out tonight, he just made $50k this morning so you know he can afford it. I'll bet it's released tonight.
It is so good to hear
DC's patreons are going to plummet
its still $50k/months no need to rush things.
DC u need new programers. your current are slow as fuck. You're all just playing with our nerves. I paid u 2 months just because i wanted this update faster but no more support from me. Fuck off
You should have checked goals before the decision. You would have noticed that after 30k there is none. No need for more money. Nothing will happen. But hopefully, something will change soonish.
i hope, that one day my grandkids will finish the game and they will tell me the ending.
When all the bugs are fixed
What is the releasing date bro
Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
Good news all, miraculously at the first of the month DC has on stream said their will be new coders and animators. weird, almost like they were ready to go, and he held back for greed reasons. Or maybe theyre not there and hes just lying, like usual to extract the cash. either way I smell BS. But here comes May, and I dead set cant wait to get this update, and when people see the steaming pile that is 18.0 the monetary punch to the groin I hope is spectacular.
Confidence for me is low. The Diane update was so bad on so many levels. If this one is like that I don't have much confidence in this project moving forward.
Holy shit so DC is the overall #5 patreon creator in the world. <a href="https://graphtreon.com/patreon-creators" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://graphtreon.com/patreon-creators</a> Take that however you want.
Alright boys we did it we finally hit 1000 hate comments
There was a time when updates didnt show up patrons were leaving rapidly. Now it's only 150$ drop..
I am eagerly waiting ...!
Did anyone tell,when this update going to release...?
Haha
Over 1 thousand comment? HOLY..
May 5th release date maybe
That would make for a great Liberation Day here in The Netherlands. A lot to be celebrated :D
96%~98%?
Release it now please
Comments = 1000; Update = Not here
This Patreon makes more in a month than people make in a year, updates should be bimonthly not semiannually
Okay guys. I've listened to DC on his last stream, and he tells so much info on there, that I think he should post on patreon more often, but here is some news: 0.18 could have been released right now if they wanted. It has no game breaking bugs left, but he wants to make sure so he's waiting. He's done with the art for 18.5, but there is some posing left to do. AND! He hired a new animator AND a new coder!! :) See, DC, should you have posted this on here, I'm pretty sure the comment section would've been less toxic!
He should have done that much earlier. I hope it's true. Maybe he should stream also them working. I wouldn't care at all, but after the last update, I am convinced, that there is nothing one could call a team. His apology back then was general rework to speed things up. After almost half a year nobody here believes it.
Man why is he taking so much time and not replying
have u been to his stream? he heard us and read everyone's bitchin' and took it like a champ. thru his stream, patrons or not, he chats with us while working on 0.18.5 & 0.19 artworks. it's the QA's part to make sure the build is stable.
I asked him plzz release the game plzz. His reply was ok
He's become greedy now!! Pull out the patron support and see what happens. Updates are gonna be faster like they used to be
Fuck him bro
its may 1st folks, and thats another $50k to DC. hope you patrons still give him all the money he need.
I do not want to imagine how long the update will last 0.19
Down $150 from yesterday. And judging by how this is going, itll probably go down even farther.
the drop is because some patrons dont renew their pledges. its normal. Actually there has been like 2k increase because last month it went below 50k. This game is on the rise despite all the milking
I know this won't be read by DC but I feel the need to get this out. If the May 5th release date is upheld then great, but after that I'm giving this game 2 months to update before I pull my support...its only 5$ but still. 4-5 month wait times for a game like this is suspect.
lol, I understand why devs milk releases so much. Its because gullible people like you who would keep supporting them to unreasonable degree
43 changes in the last hour. wow that means 43 lines of code written. and as the bugs are up 10 means there are coding errors in 10 of the 43. Im sure this 53k a month has employed the very best in the industry. High 5 team.
exactly 7day ago they were 112 bug 96/112 now its getting crazy plus code are not getting done and writing im prety sad the we get kind of skamaz over that game that we all love so much to be honest i think he does evrything imself and hire some time contractor soo he can get all the money for im
9/24~5/1???
Bugs are increased
So, I get the frustration guys. I really do, because I have been there, and to be honest still kind of am. I was a patron of DC's up until recently. This update's long wait time was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I have heard the arguments defending these long updates, and honestly, I just stopped buying into it. The only way to change this is to stop supporting this creator. Even then, it still might be too late. Because despite Patreon's cut, cost of development of this game, and paying his other website fees, DC is still pocketing away a good chunk of money every month. And if he invested it wisely, he is set for life. Anyways, this will probably be my last post about this game, because once I stopped my support, I started giving less of a shit about this game. My advice for those not paying is to go play something else. There are sooo many other amazing games out there with just as much or more content in them. This is definitely not the only one. Then follow this game, like I am, so when a new version of the game comes out, then you can check it out. But until that new version comes out, try to forget about it. At least that is what I am going to do. That way if it takes DC a full year or longer to come out with a new version, I won't get all worked up about it, because I will be focused on other amazing games and their development. For those supporting him and not happy about these long waits between updates? I suggest pulling your support, he obviously does not listen to you and your complaints. Believe me, I have tried, and never once got a response on here or Discord. These were DM's and constructive, not frothing at the mouth rants, but still nothing. My guess is he does not take criticism, constructive or otherwise, well. Anyways, I hope whoever reads this post will think about what I said. Alright, well I have said my piece. Take care everyone!
I just wish he would address peoples concerns, clearly there's a large number of people with similar concerns, it would be pretty easy for him to address it all in one go if he actually had good reasons. With how long he's been ignoring these concerns, makes him look like he doesn't care. I'm going to continue not supporting, but will still play the updates when they're free, since I have to disagree that there's sooo many other amazing games out there with equal or more content, at least not as far as h-games go. There's not many good 2d h-games with great art and loads of content, I've spent plenty of time looking for them.
release it
release i
release it
release it
release it
release it
release itttt
up to 220 total bugs now apparently.
Probably won't download till 8.5 is released since new Jenny content is what I am waiting on
You probably should read what's in 0.18 and 0.18.5 .... It's not what you're claiming
*sluuuuuuuuurp*
So I heard they get that 53k tomorrow. If this game is released tomorrow and that is when they get their money, then it's clear that it was true.
its already may 1st, it has always been true. GET MILKED BITCH!
Look folks that contribute to DC...if you don't like the wait, then simply pull your donation. That will get his/hers attention. Otherwise, chill! For you freeloaders that aren't contributing one dime, but act all pissed-off because the developer is taking a while...go panhandle somewhere else.
Whats the word?
Indeed this is total BS. It's obvious DC is just in it to pull out as many shekels as he can
Cmon boys let’s hit 1000
I feel bad for DarkCookie you guys are almost as bad as Rick and Morty fans
He is working on Jenny's wallpaper
Hi, I wasnt a patron when the decision for the content for this update was voted on, could someone run by me what else are we getting in this update besides Jenny's story? Thanks
Not much. You won't have to troll with Somrak to progress her route now. The remake and getting her preg are the biggest things you'll have. Maybe a few of the remade character models he's been posting for the last 6 months ....
Yea
I think the credibility of dc has collapsed after three times which delays the update DC I don't think it will last you long
I sure as fuck hope it doesn't
What a surprise no update on the update on the stream!
Spam "release it" in the comments maybe it will speed up the process a bit
most folks complaining that "Almost done" is misleading (when past the 90% mark) seem to not understand how percentages work or the fundamental concepts of progress towards completion. These folks also tend to be the type that have no clue about coding, debugging or general processes involved in creating a game from scratch. Especially given, all of it is completely 100% free and any financial support being given is entirely VOLUNTARY.
When you use an amateur term like coding instead of programming it is obvious that you also have no clue what you are talking about.
Almost done! (After 2 weeks)
Well I see this thread has gotten very toxic.
I think coding will take time I think may 14 lol
Hy guys we'll make record in comments let's do 1000 comments let's gooooo
I am playing this since one year. I had no problem in 17.0 version. But 18.5 is fucked up . I am DC stop fooling us . Ik your waiting tomorrow for the money to come to your bank account. And thn you will realease the game. And your simply spamming bugs to wait at May first. Realease it or fuck it
I love the kids on here that try to act humble talking about how we dont pay for anything and to be patient when they are as all greased up waiting to fap their sorrows away like the rest of us.
My YouTube channel
Need to fapp, google is ur friend. It's because of you, that we ended up in this situation ; it's because of you that we have to wait almost a year for 2 or 3 major releases (not to mention the .17.1 and .5). If you haven't voted for Jenny or Eve, we could be fapping right now
The hell is going on in these Comments?
I know what a joke.
216 BUGS LOL, The whole game doesn't have 216 Scenes HAHAHAHAHA
I pulled my support, I can no longer support a fraud and scam artist.
Welcome to Patreon. You're not paying for anything. You support a dev. He owes you nothing. He can't fraud you if there's no product to buy. He can't scam you either since there's something coming 1 day (terribly mismanaged maybe and 1 month late, but since you're not buying anything, not a scam)
If DC had any integrity he would refund his patreons at least 1 to 2 months of their money back to them.
Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
I have been supporting this project for 2 years now for an generous undisclosed amount and DC has yet to release an update in an even slightly reasonable time frame and because of that makes the feeling playing these new updates definately not worth supporting. Just my intake on things, VERY dissapointed.
Just so you know, anyone can click your username and see that not only do you NOT support this project, but you're account is only a year old. There's no need to lie, it doesn't help the situation.
everyone stop supporting DC untill he give us a clear reason. i see supporting falls from 53k to 52k.. thats good
Yeah as soon as this patch releases I'm probably pulling my support. You don't make a post saying the patch will be release very soon and let 3 weeks go by. Everything has been done except coding and that's what they've been waiting on for 3 weeks so far? I get putting out a less buggy version will take time but maybe if it's taking this long you should devote more resources to coders. If you had an idea it was going to take this long then it was a mistake to putting out that update on April 13th mentioning it was almost done.
Yeah and what gets me is these blind fanatics who are so desperately waiting for a nut , try and defend this fiasco.. It's just a coincidence that it just so happened to get stalled long enough for the next months rollover. $$$ ..as if it isnt obvious that today is the end of the month and it is NOW just FINALLY getting wrapped up?? Lmao, like come on, he must really think we are that stupid, that.. or he just doesnt care.
Patreon should have a policy that restricts both the creator and supporters. Especially creators to make it more transparent,like the time table between deadlines should be meet before releasing the money. Not like this that it takes 4-5 months of updates and only 1-2 added H-scene only and to make it even worse DC is not even replying to his supporters that financially supported this game,it's like this ''Hey DC! we give you the money to support you can we have some quality updates and give us an update of the progress like every 2-3 days'' But sadly NO it does'nt work this way. More like ''Hey supporters give me all your money so i can have an easy life''. Please be generous to your patrons DC take time to reply on their positive and negative comments. Take criticisims or give a better reasons why every update take 5-6 months with only such quality and does'nt even worth the wait. Not even a patron of this content yet but not planning to anyways just disappointed how DC handles this kind of community that treated him good but not returning good commitments.
Maybe expected in May to guarantee the money.
So, it took the whole month, to fix some bugs and make a rest of ''2%'' of the final game. Yeah, for sure. Nice waitover on money, just make it longer and longer to make more and more money. Genius himself.
Correct
He said he will speed up the process wht an idiot
They test us how far they can push us before we have enough. 5 buggs done per day is hilarious, its abvious they don't care to speed up the work at all.
I don't want to be rude, but is the coding team OK? Why do millions of bugs occur per day?
It has been 16 days since he said almost over
Lost 3 more patrons and $23 more lost. Lost over $50 today alone. Although, making 50k a month , $50 aint nothing.
it doesnt matter, this is about flow,old patrons cancel their pledges, but new sheep unaware of anything comes to throw their money to him and the cycle continues
how long are you gonna make us wait? it's been ages since you said it's "almost done"
His bug fix bar is a joke, 2 weeks now...
635,544 a year to sit around
Any games like this with the same quality and caliber?
yry mythic manor or snow daze just make sure you have google chrome to download mythic manor or it will trick you into downloading the megaownloadapp.
Carpal Tunnel makes people cranky
now i'm just wait the final release and buy it, keep patreon seems like a fool
Lost another $29 and 8 patrons. Damn its going down fast
He still got over 50k to go, he'll hold up for a bit
INFINITY BUGS
and yep, dropped support. What a joke of a team.
no team, just DC
Over the last 10ish hours, theyve lost 4 patrons and $27 today. Im going to keep track, but im pretty sure thatll keep going down.
Yeah, and you'll be shocked what happens to the $/patron counter on May 1st (protip : it'll go down A LOT) Now the real question : will you tinfoil hat some crazy theory on why/how or will you be knowledgeable enough to grasp what's happening
Dude you're killing me Please release that shit. And ban the racist asshole spamming the N word
Sometimes I think they are not coding anything until last 2 weeks and then comes "crunch time" to wrap up everything on the last moment. This is how it looks to me atleast. Coder probly codes drunk first 4 months and then sobers up before highest time :P
rabbi. not helping. and not cool. fix it
another day and no movement forwards. This is getting rediculous
Don't worry, 1 more day and we are in may. Milking process will be finished and game ready for release. :)
6 month and 10000$ is enough to rewrite almost entire ren'py from scratch. WTF are coders doing? 200 bugs? It's like a one bug per every single scene/animation, every single quest phase, and every single dialog all together. How can things be THAT bad?
It's not. Either that, or the coder is so BRAINDEAD and INCOMPETENT that it legitimately takes this much time for him. I'm a programmer myself and I know for a fact that it doesn't take this fucking long, let alone on a budget of fucking 50,000+ dollars a month. I'm so glad I stopped backing this game like a year ago. It's obvious the creators are milking this for as much they can get out of it. It does NOT take this much time for a fucking ren'py game. Especially on the amount of money it's getting. Sad that the money is exposing the creator for who they truly are.
I come here almost every day, just for the lols
Same😂
emotions running high with all the imminent quality orgasms
Keep up the good work yall, can't wait to play it when it comes out!!
We are waiting for weeks. Welcome to update delay session
I’ll keep supporting at some level
I’m cool with all that
guys dont be idiot and cancle your support.. they even dont care about us..i whould quite my school and other jobs and just focous on development of this game if i get $53k per mounth!
I would just take out the tracker. You’ll get it when you get it.
People were moaning before the tracker was added, people now moan the tracker gets stuck on certain % for weeks, people will moan if they remove it .....
Besides it’s kinda fun listening to DC ramble on the stream.
I think it is what it is. Yes, he’s milking the patrons and creating a slow system on purpose, but if you’re aware and willingly spending the money——🤷🏼♂️
Silence is gold💸, gg dc
Estoy aburrido de esperar
If you guys still having a fit with the bugs, take note; Diane update had 210 bugs. Because there was no bug tracker back then, we had nothing to bitch about only the percentage. Have patience.
you mean that update with just 1 new scene...lol
Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
Doubt for me this will realease
I think the release take so long because a lot of bugs,did you realise that bugs is increasing as time goes by?more bugs increasing than bug fixes
The reason why the progress is so slow, actually slower than when DC was alone, is probably because he's still alone. 4 of his Goals are for one or more guys. After 30k / month he stopped making other Goals. It's obvious that more money is not what this project needs. It's actually the opposite. I like this game, I don't even care about finishing the game if there is a story to tell, content to add. But this is ridiculous. He's got almost $1000000 so far for development a little game. He should either change the payment method or hire the team he's promised.
The dudes with him now were hired for the goals .....
They had enough time to make all the assets and posing they meant to put into 0.18.5 by now. If they don't release all of it in this release I'll be really dissapointed.
They won't. You can start crying now
53K pre release per month. interested what the number will look like post release when peeps realise what their $100 (20 bucks for 5 months) has bought them.
Since you don't buy anything on Patreon, their 100$ didn't do anything more than putting 1$ for a month
WHEN WILL IT BE RELEASE? IT IS TAKING TOO LOOOONG! AFTER THIS I WILL CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
A lot of people are. This shit is ridiculous. No sense of urgency for his fans. He can claim he is but look at the last time this notice was posted. A half a month ago. Been following and supporting him a long time. But will NOT after this. It's the easiest 53k a month hes ever made and he knows it. Regardless if he divies it up
gotta check out on may 1st, then we can start waiting <3
I am waiting 😅😅
Wtf when it will realease?
Night King died but you don't release update
Bruh sound effect #6

I would like there to be a button to give back to the dialogue for android because sometimes you two accidentally two times and I miss the dialogue of the his
Can't Wait this game...
I would really like to see more of Ms. Johnson and Annies mom. Any chance of an update on them?

Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
is this got in game ?
你那里人啊
Bugs, bugs everywhere......
I will explain to you guys how game testing looks like by QA tester. A man plays a game. He finds a bug. He puts that in an appropriate google sheet with its concise summary, steps on how to reproduce it and its type. Coder sees that, he goes to fix the bug and marks it in the sheet as Fixed/Ready to check. Then following day game tester first thing in the morning goes to check whether the bug has been fixed. If it wasn't, he goes to the sheet it and marks it as Not fixed. Therefore it's obvious that most of the bugs that "pop up" in this are reopen bugs that they've been trying to fix for some time now. It's normal in QA testing. This is also why we receive an influx of bugs every morning(or late afternoon for US) - because they go to the sheet to report the bugs that haven't been fixed yet. Do you really think that there would be so many bugs in visual novel? There aren't any new minigames coming, come on guys lol, it's just going in circles :P Of course there could be bugs like "misplaced image" or "typo" but these bugs can be fixed in 1 minute. Very funny right Well it is also known that coder is freelancer IT dropout so perhaps he has problems with coding text and putting images together...
I have issues with this project, but honestly I doubt what you say is what's happening here. They're using renpy, and a heavily modified renpy at that, bugs can pop up for any number of reasons. I think it's only natural the bug counter will rise significantly, finding bugs they missed before, creating new bugs while fixing bugs and making changes. The number is sure to add up.
prolly end of may or later.....shitload of bug solving left.
2 weeks later and its still aint done 🤣
In May?
YO WHEN WILL THIS REALEASE?
The last time i checked this was a week ago and besides the 1% on Posing the only thing that's changed is the bug counter which means nothing since every release has bugs anyway. Plus as mentioned in the post we are getting a 0.18.5 which means this update isn't going to have all Jenny content that was planned for the update the last bit of ''content'' we got was LAST YEAR! and that was only one tiny update with about 45min to an hour of content. I swear the only reason i give this a dollar a month is so the sheep on here don't use the '' you don't support excuse'' this games getting into Monster Girls Island territory with its lack of updates we are closing in on 5 months since last update of anything i would be shocked if this came out before the end of the month gotta get that may money first. Also didn't DC say the next update is going to be bigger then this? if that's true good luck having it before 2020 i feel so sorry for anyone giving more then a buck for this you are being taken for a ride.
"This patron isn’t supporting any creators at the moment."
Fucking dark cookies never in time
What time ? There was never a release date. Him saying "almost done" and "soon" doesn't mean anything
pota ang tagal
I think he will do 300 maybe
😵😵 he increased to 186 bugs 🤯
187 and rising
I seriously hope pregnancy is completely optional. I'd hate to be cut off from finishing potlines because of pregnancy nonsense. Realize that for a lot of us the very idea of getting someone pregnant is a HUGE turnoff. It's the equivalent of adding an option to contract HIV.
Start looking for another game then : all girls will be preg when the updates are finished. It was 1 of the main fetishes that started the game (the other being wincest until Patreon said nope)
hopefully we can inpregnate all the girls lol
halaka oi,,unta sa release date wla nay bugs, sharo na wala na fixed tanan sa sulod sang lima ka bulan ug na extend pa jud ang release date...hahaha
It blows my mind that so many continue to support this guy with the horrible work ethic this project team has shown. If you have $50k A MONTH rollin in, there should be content updates at least once every two months and even that feels generous.
More than the frequency of updates, the updates just don't seem to have enough content to be worth the profits they're rolling in. This one update has brought them over $200k, I doubt anywhere near that was spent on the update, and if it was then there is some horrible mismanagement happening.
mmmm. new jenny art is looking so good.
lool clearly they will wait until next month so they charge people wow GG
Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
post alreadyyyyyyyy
He will when the next month starts. Are you new to SS?
i hate bugs
And he is increasing the bugs
How many bugs he will create??
600 complain comment the solution is so simple...stop complain and stop patron him
guys you ready for game of thrones tomorrow? many deaths *_*
What about adding Mrs.Smith Story in v 0.21 of SummertimeSaga, isn`t it a good idea ?
Make it win the poll, otherwise you'll have to wait
I’m ok with my 10bucks a month for now, but it makes more sense to just follow for a buck and upgrade at the updates. I’m not against him getting rich, but I think he’s being kinda disingenuous.
u dumb lol
hey DarkCookie take your time there is no need to rush and there be less mistakes and bug so this way you won't have to release a 0.18.5 release
The previous post by him read: "Extra Jenny content (0.18.5): We've been talking about adding a few extra scenes to Jenny's story that give extra options in the endgame and debated releasing it in 0.18 or after. Those scenes all require animations (which takes time), so we may not be able to release them in 0.18, so we will release them shortly after in a 18.5 update while we work on Eve's 0.19. That way the team can move onto doing Eve's update while we wait on the animations for it. Once we get them we can release the expanded Jenny ending." There will be a 18.5 no matter what.
Don't forget the "almost done" post on march 30, that was almost a month ago. "Almost" changed definitions I suppose. Don't really care about the wait time but at least be honest you need more time, douchy move tbh
SOON!!....And.....2 weeks later.
I'M excited push to 100% Hehhe
I hope the frequency improves, I know how MILF lovers suffer for waiting so long, in my own patreon, drawing the videos of the MILFs I've delayed some in the past and this was really bad, it's complicated...
Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
I was giving away $20 since 6 months no more freebies now bye
bye
I have supported this game for almost 2 years with 5$ a month, because I wanted it to succeed and it had a steady development with quality content. The last update was a big bummer to put it midly and it took ages. The 0.17 update was realeased by the end of November last year. 5 months of work(?)/wait and all the animations won't even be finished for the update... this update have taken almost half a year. I hope the update is good, as I'm already considering stopping my support.
Just imagine this (same goes with other "big" devs lately): You're making a shitload of money with your game on patreon and you worked relatively hard for this. Now you find out that if you work slightly less you STILL make a shitload of money every month and even gain patrons, as long as there is some output. After a few months you found a sweet spot where you work even less, but the cash is still flowing like crazy. Just ask yourself, what would you do?
The development team is made up of sloths, this is the only explanation. DC probably is one too
There is no development team. I doubt even DC spends more than 20 hours a week on this. Dogeek only like 100 hours for an update I guess. If there is somebody named Dogeek, is It's probably just DC's alter-ego. DC doesn't fulfill his Goals and promises.
DC said they're debugging the build this weekend, so release should be next week or so. everyone's patience is running on fumes.
the people complaining are not even patrons lol
Fuck you
dude, what are you doing here? you're 12 years old
Finnaly DC wake up for 98%
When it will realease??
Hi mr. Almost done
Are u a bug farm?
lol this is not even updated yet. its funny because people still give money for this. good luck for those who still support him for the easiest 50k/months. hope you get what you want
Who support dc: i'm a joke to u?
hahaha so DC will finally release the 0.18 update on May for an easy money again. And will finally say "Sorry for the delay!" deym over and over again. Blaming his animator for the delay again,damn DC you're the boss why don't you hire a new animator that meets tight deadlines. Oh that's right,it's already planned in your time table that you will delay the entire release until the month of May for another sack of money in your wallet and so you can chill for the whole next month. what a shame :(
"This patron isn’t supporting any creators at the moment."
Finally 98% 😂😂
1% took like 2 weeks... ugh
Finally posing done, now just writing and code. Btw 98% doesn't include bugs, so once it's 100% you still have to wait for the bug fixing.
yeah, juicy 2 weeks for that bug testing. Of course game will come out bugged as fuck either way.
Huzzah 98%.
There is no exact date but they have the last animation, DC said it's gonna be this weekend or the next week but in that time window
Next year for sure
what exact date the release of v0.18?
I will tell my grandson to send a copy of complete version of this game to me.
It’s fascinating that the majority of haters and complainers on here aren’t patrons. You do know that there’s a little tag next to your name which indicates whether you are a supporter or not?
1) Do you realise that this information can be hidden and this is something definitely private 2) I am pretty sure most of the people here were pledging at some point(like me) but withdrawn their support. Weird right? 3)Given the impact this game has on other projects, I don't see why I should refrain from commenting on it. Following your logic, I must throw away my money for this junk in order to express my opinion? Stewart Walker you are just like your name, stupid.
Alright ladies and gents. Release date for update 18.0 is Monday, April 29th at 8PM EST.
I think he’s implying the money will be in the bank at that time.
If he doesn't release the update within the next three days I'm pulling my support, this shit is ridiculous.
DC does'nt care any of his patrons bro. He won't even listen or read comments and give updates to his patrons,and will just say sorry for the delay and will improve the next update faster over and over again. All he want is easy money.
Bro if you take this much time than no one will play the game do it fast bvc I am waiting for months bvc
I will tell you what will happens guys, he is waiting for the money at the 1st of MAY from your paypal accounts or whatever. Then he will release a shitty update. which will contain 2 or 3 HC scenes, and you have to repeat the whole game again. Then the next update takes also months to get more money LOL WTF
Do you mean that we will have the update in just 5 days ?? :) :)
just a bunch of bastards
pay
개 시벌놈들아 이딴식으로 할꺼면 거의 다됐다고 어그로 끌지를 말던가 진짜 개맞을래?
Can you guys please stop complaining its obvious at this point he does not give a crap about our complaints it's better to stop supporting this project at all so the creator can wake the fuck up and do some work
Yes, I will better get it for FREE, so this will not make me angry anymore :)
truuu
let me guess, tomorrow will going to 168 bugs.
better yet, in the next 6 hours.
Dont hope too much, dont support him too much, it's suck
Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
August release confirmed
Your jk ryt
When will it realease??
In one Month. Only 3 percent.
DC is not fulfilling his goals. 4 out of his 7 goals are about hiring one or more people. There should be at least 5 people working throughout the whole development proces now. If he for some reason didn't stop making new goals at 30k, it should have been other 4-5 goals about hiring one or more people. DC should stop having monthly based payments because it is just not fair. At least for the new patrons who don't know what's going on here. DC hire more coders and animators or change your payment method.
The dudes he has now with him are the pledge goals. He was alone for most of the earlier dev time
DC just update us what the hell is going on. Discord is not much of a help.
Really hoping it drops soon.
How much would it cost DC to hire two more IT dropouts? I mean based on the pledge he has rn shouldn't it be pretty doable? Instead, he values having more money in his pocket than actually delivering to people who are paying.
Facts
They were debugging it. Last step before they release the new version
Well, DC is gettin paid. Good for him. If people don’t like it, cancel paying. You really only need to pay twice a year anyway.
Wait, wasn't the bug count up to 138 just this morning? Jesus, it jumped to 150 in just a day? My god man lol And that's only the ones they know about. I feel like posting this "almost done" was extremely pre-mature.
It was actually 112 about 4 days ago lol
And.... the update!?
I can only speculate the reason he's encountering so many bugs and code errors is because he is incorporating 18.5 H scenes which may include Jenny and Roxy, Jenny and Debbie, Jenny and Diane and or a variety of different combinations of those 4 different characters in their H scenes together in one place or several. Also apparently there are new "complex animations" that are being incorporated into these H scenes but I understand how everyone feels; That ALMOST DONE POST WAS 12 DAYS AGO!!!! hopefully this update releases this week!
Oftentimes, debugging means one step forward, two steps back, as the solution to one problem simultaneously creates more. If the update that DarkCookie gives us contains even a single bug, it risks ruining a solid portion of the game for everyone playing it. Therefore he has to be thorough in ensuring that this is not the case so that we can enjoy every update as much as possible, even if it is time consuming.
I was able to completely develop a private server for multiple games that were all successful bringing in an immense amount of money for the ones i was contracted under in a matter of around a month or two and I am talking about from a base revision of the game with no content to a full release and a 2d click action game cant even update properly with 6 months time.
When this game realese
Till a die
¡OMFG! ¡¿ARE YOU SERIOUS?! 142 BUGS? HOW THE FUCK WE WENT FROM 72 TO 142 ANYWAY? I know that sometimes you get a dozen of error fixing or moving a single part of the code, but is insanely ridiculous to see how now instead of making progress you´re going backwards. I really like this game and even if i cant support it as i would have liked it, at this rate, if the game is going to take 4-5 months to "update" it wont worth it, i know you´re 'updating' other things like the graphic or story, but still it is insane. At this point one wonders if you´re really working for it or just milking the pledgers for money, i still have the freaking screenshot were the grapic was "42" bugs to fix and now its four times bigger, sigh* it´s frustrating how decent games take this turn that it almost feels like they only milk the pledgers away.
just ridiculous way to ripoff others money
I think half life 3 will come out before 0.18
yea true
You can bet on how many bugs/issues there will be in total before the update gets released... More or less than 200? I say 199.
Well it's up to 150 right now and only 122 resolved, so i'd be willing to bet over 200 by the time everything is ready.
0.18 will be Jenny update 0.17 comes out... 1 month later: workin hard on Jenny content, here goes a christmas special! 3 months later: Hey! no Jenny content in 0.18, content will come in 0.18.5! (Dude got nerves lmao)
And it's been a month more without a step forward lol
I stopped supporting this project after being disappointed with the Eric story line. As an observer, I do find it amusing that every few weeks when I check on any progress for an update, I see 20+ complaints sandwiched between one compliment and of course 30 spams from Mr. Spoiler Art. Still the monthly income keeps going up and up. Of all the projects I have followed and/or supported in the past, this one by far has the worst complaint/compliment ratio I have seen and yet receives tenfold the amount of money compared to others. Riddle me this, riddle me that Batman.
Not for long. This type of Business pattern is such a bad practice. The worst part is the amateurs doing it dont realize the damage it does to possible great business. My guess is they are aware and just plan to milk it for the free doe and get it while they can. I'll be surprised if DC even cares to finish the project. It's a shame because this is so big because of this main reality. It has SOOOO much potential. Yeah this type of practice has such an unfortunate shelf life.
Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
I really like that game but will not become a patreon. First: The update cycle is too long. Second: The new content is not enough. As I said in an earlier post it usually is in one branch only so the rest of the story bears nothing new. Small upgrades (e.g. date with one of the girls with maybe a kiss at the end) would be nice and leave the other branches interesting, as there would always be something new to discover in every update.
Yea 5-6 months (not counting x-mas special) is a long time to wait. Nice that he is updating some of the character models though
yeah DC will definitely wait until May for the release of update i think. Ez money for DC yey! We understand that it's hard to create a high quality-game based but come on DC! are you working 1-2 hrs a day? because you think you all have the support you're getting? I'm not even a patron of your project yet but give your supporters some big updates! Let them know your time table in your project! Don't let your anonymous identity DC be your trumph card and making your patrons a fool, you're not even replying to your supporters to make this game even better! let me guess, you will say sorry again for the delay because you have some issues. Same thing over and over again. Imagine your supporters will cancel all their pledge will you be able to make your productivity work again because your losing money? hmmm.
April is almost done 🤣🤣🤣
Calling it now, this 50k a month asshat will push the next update to May for more Patreonbux. I'm out.
I donate because the talent and quality compared to other adult games I've found is superior and it's fun to play. I agree that the game is probably becoming more complicated to make at this point, but if you are serious and have a sense of urgency- you hire more or better talent. I don't blame him for taking his time to make a quality game, but if we get the same quality of the last update with 18.0 there's a problem. Don't be blind. With this Patreon format why would he gave a sense of urgency or hire more talent. There is 0 incentive to complete this game. It's no guaranteed that any future games would garner the same hype. He's making this money while he can.
but is this game really "high quality" as everyone describes it? Let's walk away and look from a distance - its hand drawn - very cool very nice and then...what else is there? Dialogues are primitive and gameplay itself is repetitive. Brings this, bring that, give this npc that item. Whatever you like but I think people's perception of this game is a little manipulated. Just because DC said his game is high quality it doesnt make it high quality. Does every game with superior graphics is high quality? You get my point haha.
DarkCookie I for one feel that you should take the time to do things right. Quality before anything else and besides it isn't a race. I love this game enough to wait for it to be done good. Keep up the good work!!
I have been backing this Project for a long time now, but that stops today, the time between updates compared to the money donated to this a joke.
You don't back projects on Patreon, you tip devs to help them do the stuff they like. Go to Kickstarter if you want to back-up games with guaranteed results (or get scammed out of your backing $ worse than here)
This is how it always is. An update is at 97% and the 'people' (and I use that term loosely) start foaming at the mouth and demanding their blood sacrifice. Listen, folks, if you're Really all that eager to jerk it to some 2d characters, go watch some hentai or something. Quit hovering around here and live your life. Check back every other week or longer. Don't let the slow development of One H-game dominate your life.
I've seen a few people saying "its free don't complain" again, so I'll repost my message, feel free to copypasta it to anyone saying "herpa derpa it's free don't complain" : To all patrons who are telling us we are "whining" or we should "stop complaining" (whilst actually just trying to reassure themselves since they most likely spent a lot of money) see it like this; Imagine DC is a restaurant owner. He has some patrons giving him money to keep it afloat. In exchange of that, you get a free meal every now and then! Yay! Now, on a beautiful evening, DC brings you a nice meal. But upon taking a closer look, you see there is horseshit in there, along with some smegma. A DC came in the dish also. Will you still eat it because "iTs FreE sO yOu ShOulDnT ComPlaIn" ?
According to this logic are you unhappy with the meals quality or the speed DC is producing it? So your analogy feels to me like this: we’re funding DCs restaurant and get in there as customers wait for our free meal. He or him and his team of a few cooks and a waiter work on it. Some people don’t mind the meal taking 2 hours to produce, some feel like it doesn’t taste good. Many of these people simply want to support him no matter what. Where’s the harm in that? Is he milking people? Withdraw your subscription and save your money if you feel like he’s doing so, find another “restaurant”. Don’t get me wrong, you have every right to complain but do it in a respectful matter at least. I’ve been a Patreon for quite some time for DC and will withdraw my pledging once Jenny is finished and hop on the train again after Eve update is done, because imo she’s one of my least favorite characters but I simply got outvoted there and have no interest in seeing her story.
With the current Patreon format, there is no incentive to complete this game or rush updates. I hate to say it but I wouldn't rush the game either. He's currently making alot of money. It's a shame, because I really love the game. The amount of money he is making is life changing. How many people if giving the opportunity wo would milk this gravy train as long as they could? The only thing that will motivate faster productivity is for patrons to dramtically reduce pledges.
I don't know, I read this kind of comments since before he was earning 30k, and now he's earning almost 53k... Patrons didn't reduce, they almost doubled... I presume most of them are happy of what they get in return.
Paying is voluntary.
but expecting a finished update that is promised is also voluntary .. this is not just a ''donation'' anymore people pay money to get their expected updates/game
Come on, it's so obvious, he doesn't have any animators, coders blah blah blah. He's fixing few bugs for decades. With team of people he'll do it in week, maybe less. He's just taking all our money to his own pocket. He doesn't wanna share. He's hella rich and he's doing those updates just for bigger revenue.
Please be open minded
If you’re all annoyed with the speed, just follow for 1USD and upgrade to 10USD every 6 months to get the update.
I'd rather throw that dollar to the garbage bin, I dont support scammers and I dont associate myself with this kind of people, you are funny man(kid)
You should make it faster.
Almost done! LOL
Almost done, Almost done, Almost done LOL
Are you guys looking for graphic designers in the area of animation of coding?
DC's real identity is unknown so because of that he REALLY could care less about anyone or how much money he is siphoning from all of us because in the end, he has an absurd amount of money in his pocket while all of us have empty nut sacks. Lol.
Those saying that DC doesn't need to do anything because it's free, check the Goals, the promises he's made to make You give him Your money. There should have been more coders, posers, animators by now. There is no such team, just one coder and who knows how much time he's been paid for. After 30k he's even stopped making promises because he'd realized, he didn't need to. That's sad DC.
Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
I would have to say that I'm so hyped for 0.18 and I just wish it'd be done much sooner. Just wish we don't get to see Spoiler Art on here though trying to bluff us with their malicious clickbait.
Almost done guys!! hahahahahahahah
Fucking almost done..almost 6 month for 1 update
Rock on
Just want to say, I'm not a patron or anything but have been following this game for about two years now. The amount of people complaining about the time it takes between patches is insane. You guys are getting FREE content. If you're supporting, great, but it's optional. Ultimately it's all free so unless you want to offer your coding services or do something else to help speed things along instead of complaining, then just chill out. It's free, they're working on it, and it'll get released when it's released.
havent your mommy never told you that nothing in life is free? Does it need further explanation?
What the fuck are you guys doing? Are you guys having sex with your mom and sister to get inspiration for your work? Ok then you can be late.
Just release this fucking update and please release update with no fucking bugs you work 6 months for one update
For the love of God, please hire more coders. It is painful to see the bug counter going up and up and will surely increase more the bigger this game gets.
what a waste of time
Bruh how long is it gonna take?
진짜 시간 존나 끄네 시붤놈들 이번 업데이트 창렬이기만 해봐라 후원 바로 취소한다 양키놈들아
0.18 version realizing date....
tomorrow
almost 2 weeks ago you posted it'll be done, not mad and understand things happen.. Butt i think my turtles could go faster than this!
true story
come on cookie you shouldn't be happy with this
He doesn't care
from the paste that its moving we may get it tomorrow because everyones is mad of that slow progress
Pls finished the 0.18v before u continue another version
Im not a Patreon monetary supporter, but I have been playing during the free releases and have been following for over a year. The amount of time between updates is insane. The quality of the game is awesome, which for 50,000 a month it should be, but 6 months between updates is ridiculous.
is quality reality that awesome? Is anything besides the art in this game that good? Be honest now.
Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
The ony thing that is change it is a amount of bugs. More, and more.....

its sad that a 5 month Diane update gets us ONE sex scene with her and a threesome with a SHITTY reworked pale ass Debbie (which by the way looks absolutely horrible), stick with the nice even skin tone and innocent looking characters.
I like the rework for some but I'm not going to lie, something about Aunt D, completely ruined my attraction towards her animation. You've may have found what it was for me too.
My biggest annoyance is people actually voted for small tit eve over any other character. Eve is by far the least interesting by far. Cool, shes emo like what the hell are people's problem with fetishes towards emos.
There are busty women in that patch as well, dont worry.
hypeeee
Almost done? Fuck you
I read this kind of comments since before he was earning less than $30,000 per month... :D
guess why... :D
There is zero excuse for the time table here. You're obviously milking your patrons, at 50k a month for what amounts to about 30 mins of gameplay. Your last update was on Christmas, nearly 5 months ago. You've made a quarter of a million dollars in that time.
still 97% ahaahhahaha keep paying him ahahahahhahahahah
Damn. It's so sad for the patrons that this project takes month to finish with just only a few added scenes. I know it takes time to create art,animations and bug testings etc. but it's more like getting easy money with the support DC is getting. He's like creating it for the money with fooling his supporters,please be like other Artists, DC. Create Summertime Saga with passion and dedication and once in a while listen to the suggestions/opinions of your supporters to improve the game just how they've been believing in you and to your game. No hate but just disappointed badly. Every penny counts. One love.
but guys, 0.20 will be amazing LOL
U r right but this same slow process was going iam not playing,my kids will play this game
Does the camera in the school shower still work in current version because i seen it on youtube but not getting the option in 0.17.5 if so how do you do that quest in the current version
Nope, it was for the library girl's route, that got removed/reworked and you don't need it anymore
ITS ONLY $5 A MONTH... IF YOU CANT AFFORD THAT GO GET A FUCKING JOB
You are SOOO afraid of losing your sexual life
what's honestly funny about people removing pledges is that, you can threaten him/them because its a ridiculous amount of money. If they are living off this money which divided among them is a pretty standard yearly salary... is that once it stops being affordable -- I doubt it'll pressure the team to make substantial updates and abandon the game all together. Sucks to be crowdfunding a game for years and then all that money will truly go to waste when the project is abandon... the last laugh will always be theirs.
What you're saying is a textbook example of the "sunk cost fallacy" you know?
"almost done" April 14th today is 24th still waiting
Almost done! Yeah yeah :)
LOL DC
I also Stopped, because I will not pay $30 for 2 scenes update only in more than 5 months (Means the complete game will cost me more than $500 LOL) ... I would better wait and get it for free.
Wise man/woman... I only pledge when actual progress is made not pointless stalling for cash.
he is going to delay the update at least till next month because he doesn't want to miss out on those juicy pledges
dc said that they got last animation but it needs some "tweaking" so he sent it back for remake. so one more week to remake it and then 2 weeks of bug testing. don't worry. :)
It'd be good if every newcomer spent some time watching this project, before pledging immediately 20$. More money doesn't help this project, but maybe less money could help.
Yes, he proper to get less money
i was thinking about that and me too if its not release before friday im done anyway it will take a years for eve update
Why would u pay more than 1dollar? lol
I was pledging $5 a month for a while and I changed it to a dollar and if this update doesn't come out by the end of the month , I'm going to stop donating all together.
I agree, I used to pledge 10$ a month but after several months of delays and nothing new I just stopped all together, I just came back at 5$ and shits still not getting done. I’m about to drop them all together.
I think all 17,363 patreons on here should change their pledges to a dollar a month and keep it that way for a year or so and then you will start seeing how fast the updates come out.
Man oh man, I do wonder if DC reads the comments. I guess he does since he said he'll be hiring a new animator (well, commission one ;) ). Also, just like a poster above said, it'd be interesting if DC could be a little more honest, and, pause the pledge for next month for example, or shift to a pledge per update. This, or just rehire... I mean, recommission ahem... an ENTIRE new team.
wow i just realize they realease 0.17 the 23 november 2018 witch is 5 month now omg ya between 0.18 and 0.19 its gonna take at least 6 month maybe more if they add 3 new character :((((
Right after this update drops I'm pulling my donation. DC is a great artist and has made a great game so far, but holy shit he doesn't know how to run a project. I may as well get the faster download a day early for being a patreon, I've paid for it, but I'm done after that. I'll stop bitching too since I don't have any financial motive to do so. I fully understand DC doesn't code or pose or debug or anything like that, but he's letting lazy IT dropouts ruin his reputation. This is a fucking renpy game, we're not talking about a AAA title or anything. It's 99% stills and text, this is fucking ridiculous. I'm not trying to make my own game, but I'm also damn sure no longer going to support this racket either. Most probably won't care, and after this update neither will I. Peace.
Exactly, this isn't a AAA game, it is a Ren'py game. An update should not take six months, especially with the amount of revenue this game is making monthly. I say six months, because 0.17.5 is not really an update, it's more like DLC for 0.17, therefore I am not counting it. I mean I love this game when content does come out, but 6 months is absolutely ridiculous. It would be different if this game was making little to no money, but with raking in nearly $600,000 a year (~$50,000/month for12 months), 6 months is ridiculous for Ren'py game update. Yes, I said around $600,000 a year. Let that sink in for those who give $20 or more a month to this project. I am surprised you all haven't been more vocal about this. I mean, I was only giving $1 a month and am pissed about it. Also, who here makes even close to that much in a year? I am just saying, think about whether donating to this project is really worth it. As said before, there are Indie developers who make complete games with less money than that using far more complex programs than anything this game has to work with. There is no reason for these long of delays with a budget like that for a game like this.
So, I know this game is free and all, but I was supporting for $1 a month. I just stopped that support to be one of the few to make a stand against these incredibly long updates. I know $1 is nothing compared to the current $53,000+ people are pledging, but I just can't bear giving one more cent to this project. I get that this game is big and all, but I feel like there are games on here that are just as big who produce content and updates at a much more reliable rate. I do still enjoy this game, admittedly far less without the incest content, but DC either needs to change his payment method to per release or major update or pause charging people until the update comes out. I find it very hard to believe this game costs even a third of what he makes a month. Also, doing the pauses or per update method DC won't be worried about deadlines. This is all providing that he is not just laughing all the way to the bank and intentionally taking his sweet ass time with these updates as the money rolls in. Regardless of what is actually happening, I am making a stand against the slow production of this game. I really do hope others will follow.
Thats why i only join this patreon after every update, i follow this project but i wont ever spend more than 1 Dollar per update, since its not worth on the long run. i totally forgot about this game at some point... came back already wondering how much i missed.... from 30% up to 6?% ind ... i dont know ... 3 months or so..... im glad i canceled my subscription. I will contribute another dollar for the upcoming update but i guess it will be released in June or smth. like that. After that i will cancel my subscription again.
97% for a whole week... slow as fuck man
They didn't add about 20+ bugs to fix in the overview, nor did they wait for commisioned stuff for that whole week either
To all people who aren't interested in eve, how do you feel that you will have to wait over a year for the next update that you may like? hahahahahah main story will probly take longer too hahahaha
Calm down, have some dip.
"Almost done" lol
Why te hell can't you just vote for the main story and then you'll choose the extra scenes or what ever weird staffs you want ? Plus why the hell did you ended up with Eve story?
string, poll votes man. some patrons vote with their dicks, not with their heads. eve is favorite i guess.
I swear if this next update does not impress i'm giving up on this project
Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
I don’t really care. If people don’t like supporting in the long run, follow for a dollar and upgrade when the update comes.
As a developer myself, i would say that they should make smaller releases. The bigger the release, they more they hold off testing and the more bugs are going to surface. Constantly writing, compiling and testing the code is what makes any software development stable. And for that, small releases help a long way.
An update should be come in 2 months for this game. otherwise this game sucks.
I think NLT Media is better than DarkCookie. DarkCookie is just thinking that we are stupid that wait for his small updates
if this game take moe time to reach the 0.18 story so the curosity of playing this game wil become less....because in market there is other action game like PUBG ......asphalt 9 & 8.....
I respect DC for this project. But I also think - a big budget is a big responsibility. Management must develop along with the game, plus time to introduce deadlines. I do not believe that the production of animation could not be run in parallel with other processes, it was given to half a year !!! And now we are waiting animation for 26 000 bucks or all 40? If DC does not understand the importance of deadlines and constructive management, there is only one way - the general letter of Patreons, with the requirement to solve the problem of management. If he will understand - the project may lose 20-30k, Dc will have to solve this problem, and not make excuses with useless apologies. The project may become endless, turning into a pumping of money. Everyone has seen similar projects. DC I hope you read this and make the right conclusions and decisions. Patreons - the fate of the project is in your hands! Together you are power! Sorry for Google Translate.
do you realise dc left his company precisely to get rid of the deadlines? The moment 17000 sheep voted for longer updates the deal was sealed. obvy every single patron of his is a retard without exception
the update is longer than my penis
My left nut isn't nutting anymore.
Thanks skeeta and lemon for pointing out the bots your doing this community a huge favor and I wanted to make sure you get appreciated for the help
DC is set for life. Making $50k+ a month to release modest updates twice a year. He's already made more from this unfinished game than most indie games have for their entire budget. As long as people will pay for an unfinished product, what incentive would be have to speed up development?
Easter day finish , this game no finish
이세끼들 존나 돈빨어 먹을라고 시간 존나 질질끄네 시발꺼
If this next update doesn't wow me i'm probably not gonna keep supporting this. I don't know the reason as to why it took so long so I won't try to just blindly blame you or yell "HURRY THE FUCK UP" take however long you need but make the wait worth it. : )
So many bugs/issues... Perhaps DC should really work on a stable version first and keep the expansions for later. In the long run, this would mean faster updates, right?
Nope, as long as he redoes most of the early game each build, it'll take a long while and throw out lots of bugs. 1 solution was to get the save comp build out fast (nobody voted for it twice), another would be to pass an entire numbered update (like 0.21 or 0.22) doing only engine/bug fixes to have the most stable build we could have, but that would mean about 6 months of nothing and a build with no tits
I really hope this update restored my faith in v this project. So far I have not complained about the length of time and content until after the Diane update. It really let me down! After 4 months, only 1 extra H-scene added (3some with Debbie)... He took the shed H-scene out and was replaced by the barn scene...To make matters worse, the whole update was poorly developed and written. Like Diane moves in and sleeps in the sofa, yet when MC bongs Debbie on the same sofa at night, Diane is nowhere to be seen after she already moved in!... He should have developed a new bedroom next to Debbie's where Diane moves in and the MC would have the opportunity to bong Diane alone at night (thus adding an extra H-scene) or request a 3some when he talks to Debbie during the day. Most of the updates is filled with content that leads nowhere and does nothing to improve the story and make it hot. The bestiality part with the cow girl does nothing for me. I would have rather have the extra scene with Diane I mentioned than bong a cow girl. Yikes.
My thoughts exactly mate.

Sweet, we're back to 0 changes in the last 24 hours! This is the second time that's happened since we hit 95%. Gotta get to that May patreon deposit first, was there ever any doubt!
Actually the bugs went from 105 few hours ago to 110 recently. I thought 110 bugs would in few days on Endgame but it'll be 120+ bugs by then. Don't look at percentage, look at the bugs/issues. I think it's the posing, writing & code debugging that's revealing the bugs, with one coder on it 18hrs a day; on and off.
lemon. i frequently go back and remove my posts after the parasites’ post has been removed.
lemon. sounds about right. i’m like you about the thing. someone will click on that parasites’ site and get some damage done.
Hey skeeta, I've noticed a pattern with these Spoiler Art bots. We kept posting warnings and it keep getting deleted, which is good. But it'll leave our old post looked like we kept spamming the same messages over and over again. I feel like we're playing right into its hands, but if we don't post warnings, some poor bastards just keep clicking them and blaming DC.
People still click on them, even with warnings. At least now it's just spoilerbot, we had a fake dude named DC that posted trash too a few years back
DC should coast guard women bring
Eve update might be worth it since there's leak image showing Eve, Grace and new Goth girl are pregnant (feels like this is Spoiler Art territory*) but that'll be release on same time as Star Wars Episode 9 probably. *I haven't & nvr will clicked those links. This was from FB.
Doubt there's already pics of Eve/her sis/new goth girl already preg when DC moved to 0.19 like a week ago
if the next update will take so long, i will stop my pledge too... its taking a way too long...
If you can just include a sex scene (or a storyline) with the principal, then I'll be happy to wait. She's the only one I'm really waiting for here...
Get her to win the next poll. You'll have Annie and the underground cult in the school at night for added bonus
I've got tickets to Endgame. And it'll still be 97% with 110 bugs and more. I'll see all of ya on May. No more bitchin' bout since there's one coder.
The problem isn't the coder really. They are still waiting for the last animation to be done.
people need to stop bitching... its only a few dollars a month... you cant be that broke...
can you make it faster ? no offense, i really really like your job, but it is a little bit suck to wait :(
we're exactly 5 months since last normal update and we've just entered 6th month. Since eve update is going to be bigger it will probly take 7 months. DC then will say about next update something like, """"man 0.20 going to be such a huge update bigger than those before"""" and cycle begins anew. Johnny can you please draw a chart that displays money to release time ratio? I think the ultimate 100k goal that hasnt been posted yet is to release one update a year.
7 months is optimistic. hey 3 women, 1-2 sex scenes each like the teachers, 9 months minimum. oh and 4-6 weeks sickness in between. oh god the main story .20 12 months at least.....
while waiting for summertime to update you can play Zombie's retreat, it's still on alpha but it's a good game.
Pledge canceled, gues it is better to give out money for every update. Allrdy invested more into this as i did in a tripple A game.
Holy shit man, what is the obsession with getting people pregnant
Because Darkcookie has kids and he talks about it and the sheep follow. it went from not in the game to 1 character to all characters. if you watch the picarto stuff, you'll see how it got legs. someone talks about it and then darkcookie responds and then the ball rolls because one of his herd have been called out by the chosen one, so if they go along maybe theyll be cool too. pregnancy thumbs down. he wont add extra clothes in due to extreme levels of work, but all the extra work on preggo characters.... for the 1% that want it....
I am absolutely mind blown how many people want this Eve update. The main focus and interest in this game is for wincest so why is someone like eve that isnt related to the MC and has small breasts so over-hyped?
My biggest guess is that she is not like any of the other characters. She does have smaller breasts, which make her stand out. Her whole style makes her stand out. My biggest guess, though, is some sort of manic pixie girl fantasy that she somehow fulfills. I am probably in the minority on here, because the wincest is what originally drew me in, before Patreon's censorship occurred. The other girls were secondary compared to the home stuff for me.
ang tagal
I'm DYING AGHHHHHHH I'LL LEARN C++ AND HELP CODE FOR FREE FAM LOOOL
mfw 633,192 a year can't get regular updates
3000 years later...
In my opinion, DC is in the world of Inception, we are not in the same time scale.
So how many layers is DC in..? Is DC in Limbo time scale... Damn, it kinda make sense. We have to go deeper.
Goddammit. Spoiler Art is multiplying. It's learning to fight back.
will Debbie get pregnant?
not yet but she will be in the future update, when or if she wins the poll vote.
Last time I visited this page was a month ago. It has to be done already I said to myself. For another update i'm gonna back on Xmas. I'm leaveing the support for You guys, it's too much.
2000 years later...
It's take too looooooong for an update
why you guys dont hire more people for this game. It's a lot of people out there can work with renpy and 2D art
This is about the release date of 0.18 when friends
Don’t click on the spoiler art links! it’s clickbait to pass harmful adware/malware to your computer!
As a word of advice, hire more coders as well. That is usually the one lacking.
he had 2 coders but strangely kicked out first one after **commissioning** 2nd one
I can’t wait for the grandchildren of my grandchildren to play this game!
my guy, why are you only working 1 hour a day on this shit, give us content that we paid for
sharon. no one pays for content.
