Status update!

The software isn't compatible with the poco x6 pro The problem is the incompatibility of the Android 14 version

Smith

All look rly good i just dont like that we cant see her nipples anymore in the last one.

Mark Maek Mark

Ngl it looks like shit

Why did I get a notification for this post?

Tomasz

I do not like how you make her look younger. Where has my MILF gone? Please stop! This adds no value!

Jon

Not a big fan of the redesign. I liked that she had an older look to her. She looks way to young in my opinion. I would have preferred more content around her than a redesign.

Dustin

Honestly my issue isn't even the design it looks fine enough but that design isn't good for Debbie

i like women

I'm 50/50

WWE 2K Lover

Thank you

Justus Shook

Im not gonna lie im not a fan of the redesign

Skeeta_bite

How do i get the game

Chris Amilcar

Grace is one of my favorite characters I'm glad she is getting more lines of dualogue

Eeazy A

For patreons video doesnt work. The embeded code for video not valid.

fara0n

Not too fond of the new blobby noses.

Klaus Hellnick

Fantastic hope all goes well

Eeazy A

great stuff! keep it coming!

PerilComics

Sure I believe you. But then making the call to do the update, which you know will take years to make, while the game is being basically in stasis.. That does not seem like a smart decision. With the way the progress is going, I'd wager we might wait four years total for this. Thats an insane amount of time.

Stefflor

The sponsor video has appeared the embed code for the video is not valid

添 谢

I prefer the old, you are losing that unique cute look you had.

Another Peach

I like the nip slips, other than that, great

Santos Fernandes

Looking forward to the coming status update for June. Have a great summer everyone. The status updates are a great addition, and transparancy is always welcome.

intrepidmonkey

La última versión que tengo yo es la 20.11, hay alguna versión posterior?

Pareja Inexperta

DC! that jenny shower scene omg. she is looking so good! can’t wait to see the new stuff from your video today! nicely done

Skeeta_bite

Yes

Santos Fernandes

Demon Deals, new update coming this Friday.

Randy Daytona

What a Legend is good

Ldub

Great question. I'm also wondering when the new version of the game will be released

Santos Fernandes

When it gonna release??

Mukhlis Zaidan

Thoroughly agree. Just a ballpark is good enough. The detailed "We did X and Y this month, and we're working on Z" doesn't... really mean much sans any other context.

Sergei

NLT has Lust Epidemic, Treasure of Nadia and The Genesis Order.

Dick

Paradise Lust is awesome. The VA adds alot to the scenes. I hope DCookie adds some voice effects for the characters.

Gustopher17

i agree. while i in know how much developers hate timelines but for the rest of us it would be nice to get an impression when it could be ready. Or at least something like 3-6month to go.

Joerg Gebhard

What’s Workplace Rhapsody? Any good?

Bear

VillageRhapsody && Paradise Lust. Enjoy Bro : )

Bob Builder

Does anyone know any other games I could play while waiting for the next update? I wanna play one like this but they’re difficult to find among all the shit 3D stuff

Bear

I appreciate the updated info but would like a rough timeline. Is this going to be 2 months? A year?

Edward Elliott

it does seem like a long time but as someone who has a good amount of programming knowledge and experience, reworking the entire game like what's being done is a very labor intensive project as they are redoing all the art for the game, rehashing dialogue, and nearly completely rewriting the code form the ground up. these tasks are not easy

SlimeyWuzHere

In the tech update

Anthony Ace Fletcher

I agree with Jesse - updates to old scenes is somewhat pointless for those of us that have finished the game (a few times). The previous scenes were great without a remake. I've reached the end of all stories and have over 40 kids in daycare! There should be an Achievement Trophy for having a child with every eligible female (it took a lot of tries with Tina). I reduced my subscription until the new stories come out...

Tony

I just am wondering about the new buildings; I would like to know when can we see them?

Woody George

Game virgin is it good? What kind

Ravenwoods

they need some way to make those tens of thousands a month they get keep going

Waste of Time

Personally, I wish more effort could go into continuing the story than remaking scenes. The scenes were great to begin with, no need to remake them. The remakes dont get me excited. I've played through every update and now I've been waiting forever just to continue the story.

Jesse James

gonna need an extra big cum bucket when the update comes out

mrbilltowers

CJ it was sold as a complete rebuild. That is why it was put up for a vote. DC literally said he was recoding the entire game in the original post on the Tech update. They didn't need to make a completely new game, that would have taken longer.

George Holmes

A big bug is on mobile phones.. I have an Android.. typing into the game. Like jenny computer, your PC, tv channel. Is that the auto keyboard on the phone covers the bar you type into on the game. So you can't actually see the bar. Maybe have the password bars be higher on screen

Peter Keogh-Lynn

i understand the frustration of other patrons but honestly i played the game a year ago and it was the best porn game i ever played in term of quality. im just excited to see it getting even bigger.

Gabriel Madore

I was one to voice concerns but I also did not know of the headache it all causes so I less concern now as you stated there be monthly progress reports that is all I feel is needed. Thank you for a open line of communication action

CROW333

My dude, they're having to go back and rewrite the code. If you know anything about coding then you should know that that takes time. I started supporting this game before Diane and Roxy were available for romance options. It's not about the depth of the game it's literally changing code so that game works and is stable when the update is done. On of that they are adding new areas, updating the art assets, and expanding on some stories. That's why it is taking so long.

George Holmes

As far as I can determine you have been talking about the tech update prior to 2021 . Now I am not a computer savant so I have no idea what this new game entails but two and a half years seems a might excessive , for a fan of your game to wait around .

David Parvis

I had no idea these types of games existed until I down loaded this game .( Game Virgin ) Now I spend hours playing other games . Please complete the update as soon as you can because I love playing this game and miss all the characters . This from a horny old man who has lots of time .

David Parvis

I will wait for the next update. But you should have do this, I don't my waiting a bit longer. Don't keep people in the dark, I will sub again if you have some thing for release.

Thanh Phong Phạm

True. I agree that even then it should have bee done by now. Even if things went south it shouldnt be 3 years.

Ryse Phoenix

I am Happy to have a more detailed update on the progress, I'll always enjoy the content and As Long As It Maintains the Same Excellent Standards it Always has I will Always be proud to say I play this game and support its creators!!! 🤠👍

Paul Beck

I was thinking about it... I think it's not completely wrong when someone says nobody ever wanted anything like the tech update... as long as I am not nobody. I for example also don't give a rats ass about wallpapers. If I may say so - no disrespect. So technically it's true... as long as all the people who have an opinion about this are not anybody or nobody. Which kinda brings up the question... if someone says: I will deliver ABC. And he only comes up with A... does this mean, when it's kinda likely that he can't do anything like B and don't get me started about C... ... ... that we all just shrug, say something like "was never requested in the first place... blahblah water under the bride" and go along? OR should we just keep up reminding this guys? We are talking about something very delicate here. We're talking about promises, trust... and money... and the friggin tech update for Debbies sake!

Noply

People voted on the tech update, as it was sold as a minimal fix that would take "3-4 months." It's been over two and a half years now, and there isn't even a tentative completion date as of yet. As for a UI/Systems overhaul versus an entire remake of the game, I'll reiterate, larger games have been started and completed in less time then this "tech update" has taken to this point, for less money, with less people working on the game.

Whisper9191

I remember the days Debbie would keep my pants stiff, as she struggled with her urges for the MC until she couldn't take it anymore, and just TOOK IT. Yup, good old days.

Gray Metal Fox

which is why so many are upset, becaue the TECH update was sold as an update, not a complete rebuild! which if that was the case, they should have just made a completely new game.

CJ

it was said that the team took almost 6 weeks to do 1 single table scene, between fine tuning the posing and actual art, now times that by about 10,000 and you can see that this will likely never happen.

CJ

it stopped being a passion project about 2 years ago when he learned he could make 90k a month and deliver nothing, he's milked that for almost 2 years, there is 0 reasons why this has taken this long except to milk it. If it was truly a FULL GAME recode and re-art like is now claimed, it should have been done in blocks and released in chapters like the game originally was.

CJ

I understand develpoment is hard. Yall arent a triple A studio and this is a passion project. If people are upset and saying theyre unsubbing or unsupporting then good for them. Its a game not an airport, no need to announce that youre leaving. If you were regularly paying for updates that would be one thing but shitting all over a dev's passion project is stupid. Keep up the great work DC, I love the game.

Wolfguin .

I liked the nips out. But I like a progress update more. Keep it up. Would love to see this project completed one day.

Xn

Just wanted to ask, is all Debbie content going to be polished in tech update? I mean some of her scenes Has three frames only and it looks a bit old comparing to the rest of the game? Or is her content going to be a separate update?

Slaanesh

Do you have an estimate or a schedule? If you're saying you will be posting updates on it every month does that mean we are going to have to wait months for it to come out? 6 months? 8 months? When I work on a project I have to give a timeline for that project, it's just part of the job.

Hug Me

while more transparency is very nice and appreciated i cant help but read the implication between the lines here which is that this update still has multiple months to go until it comes out which is absolutely baffling to me. i started playing this game roughly 1 year ago and there hasnt been a single actual big update since. it also worries me that this is called the "tech" update implying that this is very technical based and that this wont overall add a ton to the game, but rather polish up existing features, storylines, etc. while i am no expert at all, there is no way this game has so much depth and technicality to it that it takes this long to get an update out when you have so so so many patrons just showering you with funding for this product. one thing that would help a lot to put me at some level of ease is a rough estimate of a release date whether that be fall 2023, spring 2024, anything. and all i have to say (and i hope im not alone in saying this) is that if this update is not big enough and good enough to justify this extremely drawn out wait for it, i will absolutely not be supporting this project or any other future DarkCookie projects ever again. i am very very much hoping that this update comes in the next few months and is a absolute banger of an update. but we'll just have to wait and see what happens...

Dizz Not Dizzy

I mostly agree. But there was a poll and people voted for the tech update. i canceled my membership a while back and only recently subscribed again. What I'm about to say is conjecture but what I personally think is that it was originally supposed to be a UI/Systems overhaul but it looks like an entire remake of the game. I agree with most of the fanbase, it's been a long as time but I feel like the big part was the lack of communication outside of streams and discord. I cant blame anyone for leaving, cant blame anyone for looking into anything else. The only thing I can say is I'm not a dev and so long as theres open communication I'm good. But I still encourage everyone to speak with your dollar.

Ryse Phoenix

I’m happy that DC is committing to monthly communication about the progress of the update, I really do appreciate it. That said, I’m hoping for better context in future updates because it feels very much a vacuum. For instance, Roxxy posing pass is finished and Mia’s is starting. Awesome! Was Roxxy the first one done, or the seventh? How long does finishing one posing pass take on average? I know giving firm answers on timelines is both difficult and even dangerous to projects when they aren’t met (for any reason). But it would be nice to at least get a projected estimate…or maybe an Excel sheet showing the open and closed items. Then the fans could match up the monthly updates to the list, maybe be able to visualize the progress in a more substantial way? Just my own two yen.

Michael McLaughlin

looking forward to it when it actually releases

Mark Blythe

Got tired of the lack of updates/progress and already canceled. MIGHT donate again if it ever releases, but very up in the air depending on how long it takes. Too bad because it was fun initially.

Surreall

One thing that definitely has me concerned is the line "monthly status updates will be posted here on Patreon (at the end of each month)". Everyone, that means that DC is planning on this release STILL (!!!) taking MONTHS to finish. The last release we had was in October, 8 months ago, and even that wasn't much of anything. At this rate, who knows when we'll get the tech update. I'm not denying that this update is a lot of work, but I've seen other RenPy games go from a .01 version to full release in less time than it's taken this update to be released. I used to be a full supporter, but I've lowered my support to the bare minimum just to keep up-to-date with the game's "progress". And while I know it's technically a "free" game and no one is requiring us to support it, we have been supporting it all this time, and there is an expectation of a viable product for our support. So far, there hasn't been anything substantial in far too long. I suspect I will be completely withdrawing my support from this game in the near future, and I don't think I'll be the only one.

Mycuriousnature

I have watched and played this game over the years and enjoy it immensely. The quality is excellent and you get the feeling this team have great pride in what they produce. I will not unsubscribe and look forward to the tech update as I know it will be worth it. I kind of get why everyone who has voice concerns over the time taken as they are just itching to get the next instalment. Me too but how great will it be.

Tim Burdett

love this idea! was considering unsubbing but this has put my mind at ease! Thanks DC!

Kenzie Haigh

finally some communication in this website. I wanted this from the beginning of the technical update. Did it take so long to figure out that it's enough to make a post once a month? I look forward to people who will comment "If you can't wait don't donate money GNE GNE GNE"

nicolo giacalone

"me going to a shop, looking on the menu and saying: "please give me item X" ... someone else next to me saying: "nah, you never asked for that." ... or am I getting that wrong? I am probably getting that completely wrong... all of it. :)" It's more like going into a restauraunt, and they say "Hey, you wanna get this, it'll be great. We'll have it ready in 20 minutes or so." Three hours later, you're still waiting, they want more money, and can't tell you when it'll be done. It's good, though, because they have a sketch of what it could look like eventually.

Whisper9191

If youve played any of the older scenes, they are clearly outdated and need reworking/re drawing. Esentially, they are having to build the entire game from scratch. On top of this, coding, if not well documented, has to be completely scrapped when changing coders as each coder has their own unique codes. All of this is why the main update is taking so long. Its a porn game, there is no need to stress over how long it takes. The devs do need to inform their supporters more on their progress aside from just art on streams, yes, but it isnt fair to shit on them when the game is at its core, free.

I agree with you whisper.

CommanderX

Thanks for breaking it down. I'm honestly surprised the complainers continue to persist even after this update. It's like they were all personally betrayed by DarkCookie or something.

yapov

This whole rework thing is a lot of bullshit. It shouldn't have been at the same time. As before, it was always repaired, but not stopped for so long. I can't support it like this, and I don't feel like playing the game anymore. This seems like a big stretch. I'm sorry they did it that way.

Sándor Osikóczki

I absolutely agree... He needs us as a source of income True... But lets look at it logically... The overall game which he made took almost 3 years or more to be made till the current storyline... Yes he did say that it would take a few months to release the tech update... However we too should understand that hiccups happen... This is not a corporate company backed by investors who can wait for profits of Sale when released publicly... This is a kind of go fund me page that you are free to invest without expecting any kind of returns in terms of monetary benefit... What many fail to understand is Patreon is not an investment site it's a donation page... If you get something in return to that it's a bonus... Furthermore while all the total money he's making through this is huge... Also understand if this is his only source of income with having 9 devs and having to take care of his own family plus ensuring he doesn't loose the devs that are working currently on the project by ensuring they have adequate compensation, also ensuring having the best hardware and software to create something which is worthwhile for the audience is not an easy task... Also please understand if he does abandon this game and opens a new Patreon page under a new guise with a new game... He will still get players donating to him if the product he puts out is worthwile, although it may take time... And if he does abandon the game I doubt you or anyone will be able to do anything about it, unless I'm mistaken that people know Dark Cookie's real identity or maybe his company is public listed somewhere where you could send him a legal notice for you or anyone entering into a contract which is neither binding nor promises returns on a timely basis

SD

Devs are sweating to get the funds back after the last batch of poor updates made most fans wake up and cut their funding. Don't believe this latest desperate grasp, keep your money in your pocket until something substantial comes along. Once it does, decide whether you want to continue backing. They've made more than enough money for this, they don't need any more. This progress update you've posted does not make up for the lack of communication and poor overall handling of the project over the last 3 years. I hope people continue to cut their funding until you finally decide to do something substantial.

GojoMcgoo

A game that if it had the missing content added to be able to complete would be fine, and complete rework to make it something else, this is a bad look overall. If you want some easy wins, release the one teacher who content we are missing, add a under contraction warning for the end of the game after that and you have a game that will be complete enough to warrant the wait for the rework of the tech update. But as it stands interest is waning fast for this tech update.

Jean-Francois Quesnel

I think it's funny how after almost 3 years of no news or updates on the tech update, You finally decided to give us Monthly updates after years of not saying and ignoring the people voicing their concerns on the lack of info regarding the update at all. From the looks of it and how These new updates will come out monthly only says that the game is no where near being finished. Since people have already had enough of your silly mind games, Your only safe haven now is to give them what they were asking for these past couple of years. You release these silly lil news updates for let's say a year or two more and rack it up even more than you already have been planned and done so far, but the people will not complain because you are spoon feeding them copium. The only reason you even considered making this type of post was to clam your supporters down from leaving and causing others to leave like they have been already, Otherwise you would have let things be just like you have for the past couple of years since you chose to do the tech update that no one asked for because you clearly knew how much you could stall this for and milk it dry for profits while doing the bare minimum for years and more years to come!

Wyper

me going to a shop, looking on the menu and saying: "please give me item X" ... someone else next to me saying: "nah, you never asked for that." ... or am I getting that wrong? I am probably getting that completely wrong... all of it. :)

Noply

I have already cancelled my membership and will wait until the technical update is ready because I have already paid for two years for nothing. I work in the software industry and I know how much work it is, so I understand that things take time and sometimes you can't speed it up.... BUT, I also know that my clients will leave me alone if I work like this AND I know about the resources you have. If your team really works 8 hours a day with 9 people = 72 hours a day = 360 hours a week = 7,200 hours a month = 86,400 hours a year.... WOW, I know all the things I can develop with 86,400 hours of manpower in a year and that looks like you did nothing. This is the first post with a status update in almost 1 year, so what you are posting is the work of 86,400 hours of work? Hmmm.... End of the year like Chief text is too long for your members to come back again or stay. Start work now and use the next month with 7.200 hour of manpower to bring an update now. That would be pretty nice

Ray Batz

I think this will help calm a lot of ppl but you must remain consistent and truly make progress. I’m at the lowest tier but this helps. I’m not changing my donation but stay consistent with these and aim to have the update by end of year. I think that’ll bode well, and you can get back to normal times.

Chief

Sorry man, I have to take issue with this. Larger games have been started and completed in less time, with less developers, for less money, than this tech update. He has nine people on his team, and has collected close to $2 million since this debacle started. This was supposed to be completed in three to four months, and we're close to three years now. The last playable update was in October of 2022. We're not even talking about completing the game, we're talking about a tech update. You don't need to be a game developer, artist, writer, or coder to see that.

Whisper9191

I think what supporters of DC fail to understand is the fact that people have been paying for two and a half years for a tech update that no one asked for. It was sold as a 3-4 month update, and was then voted on. The devs started this, for reasons of their own, and have basically put the game aside. Meanwhile, they've collected roughly $60,000 per month. What so what do we get in return? A few partial updates (the most recent was in October of 2022), and a lot of wallpapers. That's what $1.8 million gets you. People gloss over the fact that DC has NINE devs working on this game. They gloss over the lack of communication on the major source of income. This is the first real update in almost two and a half years that has any substance. Yes, DC has a Discord, but people joined here, they pay here, and most look for updates here. This isn't a traditional model for game development. Gaming companies dump money into a game, and release it when it's finished, hoping that sales will follow. In this model, game development is gradual, and as donations come in, the game gets completed over time. It's here where people gloss over DC's biggest issue. Quite simply, larger games have been started and completed in less time, for less money, with less people actually working on the game. One last thing to point out is in a crowd-sourced game, everybody is an investor, or shareholder. In any company with shareholders, you must show results, meet timelines, and demonostrate competancy, or the investors will pull out and go elsewhere. DC isn't making this game as a public service, he's doing it to make money. To say that he could have abandoned the game is laughable. His team is making entirely too much money to stop. His investors are his source of income. Therefore, he needs to take note of them. If they're complaining, he needs to figure out why, and address it. This update is a very modest start. However, he needs to fix the ongoing issues.

Whisper9191

OH MY GOD FINALLY! Not having one of these previously wasn't that needed but this update is taking os long that it was almost insulting not to have semi-regualr updates.

Robert Davis

bruh it is entire game being remade, you have gone insane , i am hoping that someone from your inner circle told you that DC :)

Patyk

This is a kind of info for each month that I have expected from you DC and your team. I am hoping to see some new extra scences in next monthly status update :D

Patyk

This was great, DC! Please continue with this as we wait for the Tech Update, and maybe even in later updates when the progress bar isn't as reliable again. 😁

spectacularstyx

I don't think fans have voted on more content since Judith poll over a year ago. It's supposed to go Tech Rhonda and her family Annie/principal story of the school Then Judith's story

Dawson Keagle

Those are looking way better now, can't wait to play them

mark cordova

This is what I was saying earlier and glad to see it. I know DC and team works hard but the progress bar isnt enough and some people dont have to to drop in and watch the streams. So it's nice to know that at the end of the month we get a progress. I knew from the beginning that it would be a while. Think about it. It's not like a mortal kombat pallet swap. You're redrawing all of the art assets recoding the entire game and working on the next updates simultaneously so that it can fall into a more regular and scheduled flow after. I can understand why some people were thinking it's abandoned. But the monthly report should be most of that to rest. Good shit.

Ryse Phoenix

I think what most people fail to understand is DC continues to work on the update... He could have just abandoned it due to all the negative comments of people... Most developers hate the online negativity because they actually put a lot of effort onto making such projects... Most of you'll need to think in another way... If sometime in the future he abandons the game... Would you'll be able to do anything about it... He and his team are doing their best to release it as early as possible... So chill, pull out your funding if needed and wait till the new update comes about... Just because you'll pledged money to him, doesn't automatically mean your the boss of him and can say whatever the shit you'll want...so if you can't say anything positive it's best not to say anything at all

SD

Still enjoying the updates, and the fact that it's done in Python still impresses me (C#/JS dev myself) so keep up the good work.

Michael Bielski

I first learned of this game last week and now I'm tearing through the story and loving every sexy second of it. I came for the adult content but I'm staying for the characters and the dialogue. Fantastic work! These monthly updates are an excellent idea. I picked the right time to subscribe. Keep up the good work, DC. (P.S. Fingers crossed for eventually more screens and dialogue with Missy. Her dimwitted shamelessness has made her my favorite character, lol)

Timothy Conklin

while "the majority" voted for it, that was with the assumption/lies that it was only going to take a couple of months, we are coming up on 2 years since the tech update started, having made almost 2 million dollars in that time frame there is 0 excuse for why, except intentionally sandbagging.

CJ

Ok much needed update, that we have all been calling for, only thing better than updates like these would be the tech update release (lucky/unlucky for me work sucks all my time so I can wait longer).

Deonast

Thank you very much for this update. I think this is a great way to keep people up-to-date. Communication like this goes a long way! Keep up the awesome work.

SarNati

Agreed!

DANIEL HUDSON

Creating the sex scenes. All the characters are made out of multiple images which represent individual body parts and they need to be posed and moved correctly to convincingly depict people having sex

Chaos_Alfa

This is awesome! keep it up!

Q8KEE

🔥🔥🔥🔥 completely perfect

Coach Boon

thank you, its not what the people want to hear but its what they need to hear. And absolute everyone should read this

KingsBlade_

The new cutscenes look amazing!!! Cant wait for the update.

Omnibreed001

Love me some fresh Debbie looks 🤤

Salted_Caramel_Dinosaur

Can someone explain to me what posing means?

Leon

good to know there's a dollar tier. I'll be downgrading to that one lol

Katelynn

I’ll be honest I unsubscribed for awhile but it really does look like you’re revamping the game, if these updates keep up I’ll stick around at least till end of this year. Thanks for the hard work

Lenwezzy

I love the new look of deb, trimming the "baby fat" IMHO was a good call

Lee

i am grateful for what has been going on and thank you for the transparency. Also, I hope we see Becca's new scenes as well as Missy

ivanhunter- johnson

Great update. Also very happy to receive more regular updates.

El D

We were already warned that the tech update was going to be big but make future updates after come alot more quicker. Majority voted for that outcome, im happy with the progress as i know it will take longer and they are doing a great job. Thankyou for these monthly updates they are much appreciated 😁

Zlvesta

With respect, Dire - yes, it's a massive update. And that's good. That said, it might have gone over better if it had been communicated split out in 2-3 smaller ones. No, we still wouldn't have the whole thing complete - but there would have been a more even feel of things coming along. I'm sure you can understand that.

Mr Hench

As someone who's only at the dollar a month level, I'm not going to sit there and scream 'how dare it take this long!' like I'm getting taken advantage of. That said, it's very much seeming like it's coming very very slowly. In the future, it might be better to have more 'incremental' updates so we can actually *feel* a sense of more active progress. I know it doesn't always work that way, and I look forward to seeing what's there when it's complete. But I *do* hope future updates to the game come on a more regular schedule.

Mr Hench

He just gave us a massive progress update and you are still complaining. If you wanna leave then go. I also bet you no one is hurting on the 1 or 5-dollar donations. I'm not disagreeing that it must be hard for those who pledged more to maintain it, depending on their financial statuses, but it is their choice. And it's been said by everyone including me and you, that they can stop when they want to. This is his project, so stop repeating the same message that's been said and maybe put that passion into something constructive instead of destructive and aggravating. It's not helping anyone.

DireWolf

I’ll see you guys next year lol

Onestepbehind_

Yeah, you kinda do. Do you realize how long art and animation take? Not as long as coding which takes forever. This isn't an easy project, it was never going to be, and Cookie wanted to revamp his art as he had before, he wanted to get it done so we could have an updated, better-looking game. He spent years making the original, it's natural it takes years to literally redo all of it.

DireWolf

You guys want actual progress? Unsubscribe till you hear and actual update happens. Its been 3 years, we are just being milked. Motivate by moving on, remind them they used to be motivated by our money not made lazy by it

Another Peach

Lol

Chachi

2 yrs is way to long it u don't need to do art to see that

Derrick Toran

Is there any Kevin content? Did that get cut/abandoned?

Justin

Not true. It was voted against multiple times before it eventually got voted through after the claimed it had to be done regardless and folks finally relented.

Dru Daughtry

It is his creation and there are plenty of outside factors, yes, but the fact that he's giving us gaurenteed updates every month on the progression of the game means something, means they're getting close and have at least a somewhat concrete schedule. Because of outside forces and internal issues however, he doesn't want to get everyone's hopes up with a release date. Understandable as a creator, especially a game creator.

DireWolf

Weird, it's like that happened around the time of this one big thing...ah, I can't remember, but it was some big thing thar fucked with the dev cycles of literally everything in the entertainment industry...ah what was it again...

Jaron Mortimer

Also if you aren't a creator yourself who specializes in art, coding, animating, or writing, I don't think you have much wiggle room to argue about how long it takes.

DireWolf

Enjoy the game, but I would like to see a pregnancy option for Debbie. She was the one that started the ball rolling, and one of the few that does not have that option.

Harold T Johnson Jr

Yeah that's not going to happen, nor should it. If you're mad about the long dev cycle, leave the patreon and come back when it's done. Otherwise, stop complaining, we've gotten a LOT of additional content to this very well made (for its genre) porn game.

Jaron Mortimer

Not sure you have any idea what the tech update even is if you think that's at all an option. You're suggesting they stop building a tank halfway through and make the rest of it a motorcycle instead. That's not how anything works.

Sumelar

We got a lot of info on it, he dumped it all on us, and he can't promise a release but he is promising a bunch of updates. He also doesn't need to apologize, he understands our frustrations, he said so himself, but the guy and his team are working on it, they have the majority of it done, and if it takes a few more months then so be it. I get the frustration, but he's trying to give us more. Once more they are 3/4 of the way done, and with each update we will see more and more.

DireWolf

Yea dude, it was like 75ish percent who wanted the tech update. I'm sure the polling data is still on here or on Cookie's website. But I remember specifically that the tech update got the majority.

DireWolf

Ok so good news is that they will keep us updated more often(or monthly at least). That was the worse part cause many were left in the dark . Bad news is that it seems like we're gonna have to wait some more for this update. I just hope it's smooth sailings from this point on

Bradly

Same here

DireWolf

Everyone is complaining, guess what, all of the stuff he listed should have taken as long as it did. Note he isn't blaming animators or coders or anyone he works with, note he is addressing our concerns, note that 2D animation like the stuff he makes is incredibly smoothe and well made, and note that on top of new locations, characters, and code, he's reanimating all of it to fit new poses in similar scenes. That is fucking hard to do. He could have been boring and gone the 3D route, not perfectly easy either, but far easier than 2D, but no he decided to go the hard way and make a game we all enjoy. I understand the frustration of waiting, gamers know that well. We want updates to come out tomorrow, we want to be able to have the fullest experience. Dark Cookie is trying to deliver that experience through a game that has taken him years to make. Frankly it's entirely understandable to take as long as it has given, again, the YEARS of work he's refurbishing and reworking. So lay off the negative comments, and if you don't wanna pay 1 or 5 or however many dollars, no one is forcing you. Cookie is just showing us all the work that is going on and promises more actual updates. The fact he did that alone says the game is on a steady end-track. My point is sit down, stop complaining about how long it takes to make something thinking you could do better or thinking we should rush the guy who made it in the first place. It does nothing but aggravate and waste time.

DireWolf

I recall voting for this, but the Tech Update was sold as THREE TO FOUR MONTHS, not THREE TO FOUR YEARS.... This lack of properly estimating the timeframe to deliver is troubling; obviously health issues and probably tech issues arose, but at this point it's getting ridiculous that the timeframe was overshot by 400%. Honestly, I think it's time to set a new poll: continue the Tech Update or release what has been done and move on to new content.

Bones_6

They did had a break, and like you and I people have been waiting for this update for a long time now I never complained about anything until today when I thought we have some information about the release but instead we got nothing not even an a apology for how long this update has taken.

PredatorAce69

Most people voted for this actually, there was a poll

DireWolf

Roadmaping? Brother with the time they had to work on this they should've been done or 3/4 done with Ronda update they had plenty of time.I love this dev, I've been following him since the very beginning but eventually patience runs out and just now they gave us some type of explanation of what's going on but they literally said nothing, no time frame or why this has taken this long or how far Rhonda update is rn NOTHING.

PredatorAce69

Just gave us a massive one with a promise of more, stop acting like it it's so frustrating in the meantime. These guys make quality work and they want it, especially for the time it takes, to be flawless.

DireWolf

Dude they redid all of the art with animations to match, not to mention adding in completely new content. You know how long fluid animation like that takes? We're not talking a few scenes here, not three or four, we're talking all of them. Give them a break and stop complaining. We just got a massive detailed update with a promise to get one every month. It's probably been hard enough working on this in such depth and detail, so give the guy a break. I can wait for this, I know you and plenty of others can too.

DireWolf

I beg for a quick release or not to provide information on every update that is made, just let me know

Felix

Krakatoa64

Well, no. I myself voted for Tech Update. ANd most definitely "over 50%" voted for Tech Update.

WitchHunter1750

I still can't play the game on my Google pixel 7 pro... Any plans to fix this!?

Darren Stratton

I’m down with some new Becca content!

OneHistorical

That probably won't come until the game is finished and releases on steam

THA ULTIMA

But why do we care?

Amore

I would like to point out that whilst the first part of the main story update was released 3 years ago, they finished the main story releases closer to 2 years ago. Which according to your suggested time line puts the dev team towards the end of your "acceptable" time frame. I won't deny that the game hasn't changed basically at all in a very long time, but while they're rebuilding the game they have also been roadmaping the next CONTENT updates.

Quorum

Yep, it's just a list of things that you did, but only you know how much is left, so this info is pretty much useless for us, since we still don't have a release date, and can't even approximate it, so i understand it like this, you just noticed people unsubscribing, and decided to give at least some info, just to keep interest, it still doesn't mean, that you will put more work into it. My opinion is like this, pretty sad.

Triangle George

Honestly you said monthly so Im assuming it's gonna take a long ass time for no reason. Just release bits at a time and don't massively change art and animations during so it's quicker like seriously it's getting ridiculous

Demac227

I can wait.

captkiro

Waiting since 2020 for this and no real updates since then. Just to remember everyone....

Jirina

But they said after this update the rest of the stories should release a bit faster giving the new code let's see if that was also a lie or we should get updates more frequently. But the Rhonda one shouldn't be taking that long giving the fact they had 3 years to work on it on the side while they were working on the coding for this update if not well what a waste of time.

PredatorAce69

It's been like 3 years since we had a big update and people still can't seem to realize there's no way in hell this should've taken this long 1 or 2 years sure but 3 c'mon and that's nothing wait until people realize they have to wait another 4 months on top of this update to get actual content because this one doesn't have anything new on it, yeah sure new places and improvements with existing animations but besides that nothing.

PredatorAce69

I know why me and over 50 % voted against the Tech Update back in the time. But you had to betray us and do it anyway......

Jirina

I agree

Jordi Ale

Any plans for saving to the cloud?

Carlos Victorino Jr.

It's been too long since the last update. Not expecting much to happen anytime soon.

Avman72

Im interested in a bit more Mia because she has a whole quest but only like 2 scenes? Daam

SenpaiSinon

It's good cookie! Glad to see ya doing the best ya can

LolcatBravo

Speaking for myself, the updated art looks great. I took coding in high school and college and understand the painstaking amount of work something like this can take. Good luck to you and your team, I look forward to the tech update when it finally comes out. 👍

core1015

Click "about" say update 80% like months.

Matt

awesome. cant wait!

Tsubasaj2

It’s actually much more transparent actually seeing progression like this. Wish we had a release estimate but oh well. Just more Odette and Ronda pls

Bear

So still no time frame for this?

Spoopy

Gonna have to play all routes when the tech update drops and see the new art. Looks nice!

omegashrn

When update ?
