Status update (June)!

Monthly status updates:

To better help fans understand the ongoing development, monthly status updates are being posted here on Patreon (at the end of each month) with a listed summary of all the work that's been done for each department. It won't list every single small change, but at the very least show the broad strokes of what's currently being done. This will paint a clearer picture of the development progress and perhaps get a feeling of how close we are getting to a release each month. Hopefully this will make some of you feel at ease with some of the questions you've had.

That being said, here's the first status update for this past month!

I'm guessing you've lost Patience at this point

Apollo

Cookie said he's got plans for the beach house to be a harem house that you can invite the girls at school to live with anon and more he didn't go into details but he did say that it's getting developed

Humble_Clwn

Consuela is at the Beach house almost every day to take care of you

Brian Thompson

Can you added arabic translate i can help with this work

Fadi Almohemed

(typo) he has had to redo a lot of the artwork if not all of it so personally i feel like hes doing pretty good

PHaS3R

n'importe comment nous devons faire ce que lui veux,, a part Débbie on ne peux embrasser personne, on ne peux pas passer la nuit avec, on est obligé de rentrer chez soit, ça devient lassant a force, s'il copie sur lui, sa vie amoureuse ne doit pas être formidable. à part Diane, on ne peux pas baisé quand elles son prégnant, ma femme je les baisé la veille de son accouchement, c'est sur que ce n'est pas trop facile les derniers mois de grossesses. Bien à vous Geo.

HARDOIN Georges

2+ years for a tech update...

Jon

you ain't wrong it's been a year and I mainly defended 75% of this crap but I'm starting to lose my patience

WWE 2K Lover

It's been over a year and a half since I finished the story, and apart from a ridiculous update last year... Still nothing :( Not to be pushy, but this tech preview is long overdue...

Zlandicae

That's where we were three years ago. LOL

Whisper9191

The tech update was sold as something that would be completed in 3-4 months. Had the poll been done with DC saying "We're gonna do a tech update, and three years from now, it still won't even have a tentative release window, I'll have made millions, and at the three year point, you will not have received playable content for close to a year already. But hey, vote for this, and get a few wallpapers that you'll never use," rest assured, not a single person would have voted for it.

Whisper9191

Cookie, buddy. 82% Is more than enough for a smaller update. Please for the love of God just kick out an update with what you have. Than once you finish the other 17% kick out another. We're desperate for content. You did the same thing for Halloween. You can do it again.

Zackery Gray

When will we have something new to play? It's been many months since I finished the story and I hope to continue 🙏

Pareja Inexperta

GOOD MORNING EAV!! eav. have there coffee w/ a slight case of meltdown yet? ,,,,, don't forget its just a game

raul

I agree there seem to be less involvement. Plus I liked the illustrations which showed the age of the characters. Turning mature women into huge breasted bimbos has finally determined to me, that I can no longer be a fan.

Ken Floyd

There must be much less people contributing to the game. Even the comments are few and far between. I used to enjoy the banter between the pro tech update vs. the anti tech update groups.

War-Son

Yeah, he even hinted that he didn't expect the tech update to win the poll, so they were blindsided. I think they already had work done for subsequent updates, but the tech update meant redoing every image in the game.

DMs

you think so?

Dante Zevallos

do it pls , so we can get rid if this bs

Dante Zevallos

the only saving grace of the tech update is once its finished the subsequent updates will be faster to produce and we should be back to 1 update a month ( or so DC said when the poll was up)

OneSuperSheardy

why does it matter to you how much money he makes?

Skeeta_bite

Sweeeet

nuggetthecat908

many designs changes evolved with the tech update. also with an earlier improvement where older versions save’s could be used, my guess would be that the new designs are what we get.

Skeeta_bite

Rhonda then Annie then Judith with special/secret updates along the way. Once the tech update is done, i think the character updates will move pretty quickly.

Skeeta_bite

We'll be able to choose the designs we want in the game if we prefer the old ones?

s e k a i s a n [002]

When will Judith get an update?

nuggetthecat908

he makes way too much money a month to progress this slow

Krakatoa64

So your defence is that it would usually only take 100 months?

Kyle Marshall

homie GeorgeRRmartin'd himself. too many characters. too many storys. will never finish. but, tbh, this game is way more fun than GOT.

Xn

I can see Roxxy using it as well as a few of the other girls like Diane

ivanhunter- johnson

when will it get released ???

vincent pasquariello

The updates are finally here if the updates stay I'll up my contribution for sure. Only reason I had to unsubscribe before. I felt like I was paying a ghost.

Stephen Toussaint

Is it okay if I make a mod for your game?

FaultierHeart11

it was usually goes by this: 1% per month. Now it's longer, because of the amount of work they have to do. I don't mind. At least they are updating at the end of every month.

WitchHunter1750

I was wondering about that! When I did have a enough money, I always buy the beach house, on the side. But I just don't know when they're gonna make it available for girls to come to the beach house.

WitchHunter1750

So, if were going by the recent progress, 1% takes about 3 months. that makes about 54 months left before we get the Tech update. See you guys in about 4.5 years.

Swaney

Hey we're at 82% That's neat

SilentG

averaging about 1% every 3 months these days

CJ

Ryse Phoenix

Details :) I love many details in arts :)

He set a poll and described what it would mean for doing the tech update and the majority of the people voted on doing the tech update so he can better the game and that future updates wouldn’t take so long, people don’t even need to pay, you can literally play the game completely free, there’s no need to be complaining. Not to mention that if you go to his Kompas menu it shows a blocked out game that he may also be working on.

Jared

Hey bro I just said how long I’ve been here get off my dick 2nd I understand but again you don’t need to be angry with him when you have options

WWE 2K Lover

Just two more years bro

Gabriel Gutiérrez

I can't lie seeing it go from %81 to %82 has put a smile on my face though it vanished shortly when I realized there's %18 left *sad emoji*

Wyper

By using and going to the stores in town would make the game more alive

Wyper

I think you misunderstand, it isn't that he's taking so long that drives a lot of this. Its that he used to release quick and regular updates with additional content and that stopped when he went to the tech refresh. I am cracking up that you've been here since 17, not that age limitations were ever worth a damn since the dawn of the internet.

William Richard Duncan

Also customizing the main character would be cool like giving him tats, different hair style, and different body style like bulking up would be awesome

Humble_Clwn

They should add where you can use the sex swing and furniture too in the beach house and make it customizable like buying furniture for it and trowing party's and shit would be cool

Humble_Clwn

Yeah I wish the beach house was more important to the story like you could invite girls over to spend the night or and the kitty would hang out over there then Diana could take your room and you move out from Debbies that would be cool then if they had marriage your wife hangs out at the beach house

Humble_Clwn

Would it not bug you that if you had been donating $10 a month since back when the Tech Update would announced, you would've basically thrown away $320 for a few wallpapers & a couple of extra scenes. I don't care about your stance towards anyone else or what you think of the game at this point, but at the very least please just save your money. You are getting zero benefit by donating any more than $1.

GojoMcgoo

nice work on the art. fully played the game a good while ago and it was the best porn game ive played even tough it was not finished so im really excited to see the end result.

Gabriel Madore

Nah but you might after your done with all that suckiling

Wyper

Assuming this update will also support 64 bit for of all of us with modern moving I devices? 😁

FrequentFlyer

You didn’t have to subscribe

WWE 2K Lover

Alright to the complaining people that hate on the fact he takes so long 1 fuck off if you don’t want to pay for the Patreon then don’t subscribe simple as for the long wait on the game there are plenty more games out there to satisfy your human desires seriously it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been here I’ve been here since like I was 17 I just don’t care about the 10 buck is 10 bucks for me I get you all are angry and impatient go find something else to play like Console games or something like you have options

WWE 2K Lover

I would go under releases and download the game.

Anime

How do I play summertime saga on here?

NightWolf7001

I'm actually doubtful he'd keep going unless my math is wrong he's made like 3.5mil off ss and say he's paid help idk 300-400k since the games release like his coder etc.. plus taxes he's made roughly 2.2mil in profit I'd say; he could easily retire and say fuck it pay himself 75k a year and pick a simple job just to pay some base bills he's probably never gonna finish it he'll just keep going to milk as much extra cash as he can get.

Zach brooks

it's been 2 years and almost 2,000,000$ there is 0 acceptable excuse for why even the new complete rebuild isn't done yet.

CJ

subs are down 40k a month since i joined (almost 2 years ago) they were just south of 100k a month, they were like 3rd highest on patreon! now at about 60k a month, don't think there would be any major speed updates until they were well below like 10k a month.

CJ

Damn bro how that boot taste

Bofides

I can't wait to get Roxxie pregnant as well as Becca and Missy

ivanhunter- johnson

I can guarantee for a fact that if the subscriptions went down, this update would be coming out by the end of this year. I just can't fathom how people can bare to pay more than $1 dollar when the last time they have gotten a playable content update was almost 10 months ago.. Despite them announcing that there will no longer be any partials updates in order to speed the process of making the tech update up..

Wyper

Bueno pero si no es una actualisacion, es un remake con razon dura tanto solo espero jugarlo antes de 2024, apoyo desde Republica Dominicanma :v

Lorg Micro

I hope you don't take to heart what a lot of these a-holes are saying Dark Cookie. This is sadly the reality of modern-day gamers. Nothing but crying and moaning about games being awful or not living up to expectations, while constantly shouting "Gimme, gimme, gimme!!!" Half these comments are from those exact hypocritical whiners. I'm so happy to finally see progress. Some reprimands for how long it took to get these updates is warranted, but not to this level, especially since none of them are saying anything new or insightful.l that hasn't already been beaten to death over the 6 plus months. Especially considering you stream so often while LITERALLY MAKING THE GAME, which is all the proof anyone should need that it's getting done. It's sad that these days gamers are more connected to their favorite developers than ever before, but have only begun treating them worse. Not me though, at least certainly not for devs I know are putting in the work, and actually care for and pay attention to their communities, which is certainly where you lay. From the bottom of my heart, keep up the good work.

Apophixas

They are not gonna set a date and then sweat it out if they can meet that date. I trust they're working avidly to get the update out. ;D

carpenter

So when will these updates be in a game we can download?

Ron A.

Then why are you still paying if you have so many complaints? $10 a months is no sweat off my balls plus I'm patient but then if you're that cheap and can't handle the wait, just unsubscribe and get out. With that being said, why are you here?

Michael Panas

Haha you said hard :D

Marcel Dunkelberg

Your team is doing great work! I can hardly wait for the relase.

carpenter

From the status update, I guess it will not having released date until next year?

Mukhlis Zaidan

I'm pretty sure none of us are trying to rush you DarkCookie, Its just a lot of us will like to play this while we're still young. Keep up the good work though.

Oregano, since you asked, NLT started and finished Lust epidemic in a year and a half. Then, he started and finished Treasure of Nadia in a year and a half, then started The Genesis order. MrDots completed Melody in two years. Dating My Daughter took longer, but was split into two parts/games. These are not the only games/developers, just some of the more popular ones. There's plenty of games that have taken longer, but are updated consistently. Look at Glamour, by Dark Silver, and Fashion Business, by Decent Monkey. Michael Panas, when is the last time you saw any new content? I'll give you a hint: 9 months. Do you USE the wallpapers DC has been so kind as to leave post? Why are YOU here? To ride DC's jock? He doesn't even know you exist, but he does have your money. You call us weak-minded, but let's be honest, you're blindly following DC, and you have nothing to be positive about, except maybe the pride you feel in your weak insults directed at those us who see the reality of the situation.

Whisper9191

I think you made my point for me. This update has been ongoing for three years, and the absolute best images, designed to keep us excited, have *gasp* outlines. Wow... You know what would be nice? A release date...

Whisper9191

Keep up the good work :)

Darkstar91

So i get that works being done.... but why not just release update patches? if you have all these new art assets, release an update with them in it. At this point people are just mad because we not only aren't getting an updated game, we have to PAY to see WHY it isn't updated, and what was worked on instead.

Cody Romero

roflol, we just passed 2 years on the update, it won't be out before 2025

CJ

here is some fun facts, the DEVS took an ENTIRE month last year to rework the dining table scene, the one where you are eating breakfast. Yep, they took an entire month for 1 single scene, because none of them could come to agreement on the placement of the chairs, this isn't a joke, it was multiple full live streams of them moving around a table and chairs, and resizing and positioning, now multiply that by something like 10,000 stills and you will see, this REMAKE is never going to get released.

CJ

it's not an update, it's a complete REMAKE sold as an update.

CJ

It's too late for something like this. At this point I'm not gonna sugar coat it. This update is taking too damn long

Krakatoa64

Well, the graphics really look more vivid and clean, and more detailed. Thumbs up, no doubt. It's good to see some development, although the long hiatus still bothers (a lot) many of us, summertimers...

Hiryuu

dont get your hopes up buddy

mrbilltowers

Need a tissue?

Michael Panas

DC isn't milking anyone and again, if you don't like it, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Why are you even here?

Michael Panas

Wow this is very impressive and all but this is information we should have been getting since day one, It's just very odd that it comes out now (it's almost like you had nothing done to show for it..). I could care less for any of this so when does it come out? It's not a hard questions considering You and 8 people had.. what 3 year to figure out with millions going in with not much coming out at all but some WALLPAPERS we REALLY needed, and we are definitely getting these as wallpapers soon. It took 8 months to go from %80 to %81 and now the same thing is repeating..

Wyper

You are the weakest mind here, you have absolutely no free will to think on your own, You can't even begin to think about the possibility that darkcookie is miliking this just like he has been for the past two year..

Wyper

Once your done suckiling on his dick go ahead and suckile on the rest of his team

Wyper

Glad to see a majority of positive comments.

DireWolf

I never mentioned the word rushed

Kyle Marshall

Rushed? He took his time so it isn't that

DireWolf

Dude you're repeating what every other miffed person has. If you believe that he's really wasting his time then unsub. Light a fire under his ass if that's what you think.

DireWolf

Give me the amount on money DC has made and 3 years and I'll make ya something.

Kyle Marshall

Keep up the good work DC!

☆Ninja Hayate☆

Nobody is forcing you to pay anything here. If you don't like it, get out.

Michael Panas

Bottom line, if it bothers so much, why are you here? Just move on somewhere else where they move faster for you. Nobody is forcing you to pay anything here.

Michael Panas

He knows that, hes just being disingenuous because he needs more reasons to be mad about this game.

Oregano

"Bigger games with better graphics have been started and completed in less time, with less developers, for far less money" Such as?

Oregano

Wow I am impressed!

Ean Lake

cant wait to see the game you put out, bet it's going to be a banger, rushed updates, glitches, unfinished textures, nonsense story. man it's going to be awesome!

Perfectvalor

yeah because this one monthly update that is JUST FOR JUNE is actually the entire progress of the update, big brain.

Perfectvalor

Monthly progress updates? Yup, this ain't coming out this year. No release timeline, no explanation of why it's taken this long and after nearly 3 years finally decided to start giving out status updates. Jokers, oh and he's been 'sick' again.

Kyle Marshall

Wow, cell-shading. Three years, and we get outlines on the characters... LOL

Whisper9191

It's not entitlement. It's the fact that a tech update, sold as a 3-4 month ordeal before being voted on, is going on three years now. It's the fact that the last playable update was almost 9 months ago. It's the fact that patrons of a crowd-sourced game have been paying well over $60,000 a month for almost three years since the update started, and we've received a few wallpapers, two updates, some cell-shaded art upgrades (that haven't launched yet), and still have no ETA of when it might be completed. Add this to the fact that when the tech update is completed, we'll STILL have to wait for new content, as the update will merely make it "easier." That leads to a little frustration. Everyone is here because they want to support DC, but you have to admit, it's getting a little old. I've said it before: Bigger games with better graphics have been started and completed in less time, with less developers, for far less money

Whisper9191

For the same reason you're wasting your sorry-ass time here simping for DC.

Whisper9191

we need more Judiith!~ jk love seeing the progress of the game it looks amazing!

Cosmos Arts

When it will release?

Mukhlis Zaidan

Thank you. Be well

morris ridgeway

Nice! I like the details added.

Pockets Russel

it's indeed weird to do that. also if thay want more money after the game is finisched they can make dlc's right

NosLabs

The old background crowds is how I see the world.

Elysion

I wont be surprised if it takes till december for this update

Zahard

I've got the understanding and patience to wait for a good game from DC, but obviously there are many weak minded woosies here that feel entitled. If you are that impatient, stop your bitching and just leave.

Michael Panas

Nice! Have a great summer folks.

intrepidmonkey

Then why are you wasting your sorry-ass time here?

Michael Panas

good , i love this game

martin nix

This development has gone on so long they had to update the phone and computer to hide it lol

Another Peach

I’m just keen to see some more Judith content. Some impregnating and a 3 way with June would be great

Thomas Deveny

The pretty much scraped it. It seems to want to hide any information which would indicate how much work and how much time is still needed - which for me means it will still take many month (it does not make any sense to start with monthly updates of you are already close to finishing) DC: The progress bar is not currently displaying an accurate progression of the work being done due to the nature of the Tech Update requiring a heavy amount of back and forth with content implementation (and testing).

Joerg Gebhard

Hasn't been updated in forever and isn't accurate

Mega Chad

there is a to do timeline on the website you know that right?

NosLabs

I've used the same excuse in the past, a lot, but it destroyed me eventually. And the "... but will try ..." and "keep you posted" are all additions to the delusion. It creates the opportunity to remove responsibility without actually initiating it. He is mentally unstable and unwilling to do what it takes.

lisa

Looks good, do we have a rough timeline for a release?

Tyler Wirth

I don´t have much interessent in what was done, to me would importart to know at least what is still pending, being that all questions to a timeline are ignored. There seems to be a lot of redoing and enhancing stuff going on - something nobody asked for. And even if its the developers choice how to proceed, if more and more people lose interest and stop supporting, the progress will get even slower and we a steering down.

Joerg Gebhard

gotta have some excuse for milking his donors... between patreon and subscribestar He generates close to a million dollars a year or more. So he has no reason to develop anything fast

Waste of Time

Your seem to be sick too often. Fix your diet and sleep, damn.

PervMASTER

so when will the tech update be out?

vincent pasquariello

good work dc

Mark Blythe

They did that a bit with some past updates, like the main story involving the mayor and the Russians, they offered those new designs. Doing multiple small updates and making people redownload the game over and over is a bit impractical.

DireWolf

That's probably still a thing, gotta get to the teachers.

DireWolf

It's reworking all of the animations too to fit the new style so everything will look new and different.

DireWolf

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

PHILIPE PINHEIRO PESSANHA

There is some new content with the update such as new characters and locations. I think there might be new scenes but I can't remember if that's been confirmed or not

DragolianX

Excellent Work as Always!! I am Proud to be a part of It!!! 🤠👍

Paul Beck

time frame?

Calocon

I'm in love with consistency bro Keep the good work

Gabriel Gutiérrez

So its only a rework?? No new content?

Nes

Rhonda

Adrian Jenkins

itll drop 2024

KaiTarasu

When it comes to Jenny, any chance we'll be getting a route where the MC can dominate her?

Strategist G Bu Shi

Did I get an update later this year? 🫠

Ludios leom

I am beyond excited for the tech update. This is already the absolute best adult game on the market, and it seems like it's only getting better once this update is in

Sergei

I figured it would be the case, but this really does seem like we'll be getting Summertime Saga 2.0 fairly soon. Excited!

spectacularstyx

Thanks for the update 👍

David Abbott

Why not release a hd version and slowly update it so then at least people can get hands on?

TPGScotland

So whats the time frame?

Spoopy

There are a lot of people who gave up on this but I’m still here because I know that it will be exciting

Traveler from a different World

What happened to going upstairs in the school building?

Thanks for these monthly updates!
