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

I guess lack of updates on what's going on.. most also don't know they tall more on their discord than they do here

Omen zazu

Lmao I mean they still do twitch or discord drawinga...they update there more than here

Omen zazu

think they forgot about the update download for the game

david onan

Looking forward to this location in the update! I'll keep my sub to $1 until it's released....

Tony

they continue to update status for member that have 10$ and 20$ will retrieve more so that not much of the problem. those who 1$ member please wait duel to this time I see they update a lot (they almost remake every thing). So I will wait for 20.17 for new update to see if they correct with promise of a lot of changes. Duel to they tell me few more month so give them around 3 month to see. if not like they promise we could cancel at any time. (Even there bug) please release it too. We could be you QC too you know. I am not good at English if any one hard to understand.

Thanh Phong Phạm

Thank you for your hard work. I hope to play the new update soon.

why the negativity people????

raul

same now its like we wait a yr for anything

david onan

Remember when I first found this game , the updates were like with a few months of each other. It seems. Like the devs got greedy . It doesn't bother me any more how long it takes be cause I stopped my pledge a wile ago. I'm sure this game is already finished in it's entirety they are just string it along

eddie

think they fell asleep and forgot to drop a update or something seems all creators are being extremely slow at posting in the last year like what's the point in paying for updates when there is none

david onan

Seriously is this update being released in 2029 cause that is how long it seems to be taking

give us a release date to look forward to that update please

david onan

How would it be a scam when the game is free 😂

summertype

Its a scam because its a scam. Simply as that. Its not easy to to just walk away when over 100$+ spent on a product expecting good faith return since the announcement of the "tech update" which we all voted to prioritize instead of new content. I'm a coder as well. A good one. I work solo. In that 2 years i've updated 4 homegrown major appliances and apps that run billions of $'s in transactions across them all along with dozens of small to large coding/migration projects. Am i special? Not even a little. 2 years is just a lot of time to work on *one single project*. I make really good money....not 2 mil a year like DarkCookie...but good money. Walking away now means those that gave money in good faith get nothing. That sucks. But Dark Cookie looks to be the next "MilfyCIty" dev and watched that go down without repercussions so why not take advantage of your patrons. Its almost impossible not to find a flat out scam artists on patreon anymore.

Christopher Martinez

I find it hilarious that for every negative post you respond to, you get *exactly* 3 likes on each. "Stephanie".

Christopher Martinez

When is soon

kingkrazy

Thx, C Parker for your invite and I also have been playing sine Judith's first stall encounter. But as you said, they are working on furthering her story line, even though there's an option for more. Honestly I am going to be hanging on for a bit longer. I really want to get to prom night. I really like how this game is playing. I have not found a another game anywhere like this one. The animation on this game to me the best I've seen so far. If you know of better or close to this one, please let me know?

William Coles

Its because I feel as though DC is the epitome of procrastination. AAA console games will release a quality adults only dating sim on modern consoles before development has concluded. I've been around for the game since the first Judith bathroom scene AND THAT still hasnt gotten addressed. I mean, she is a shy, insecure, bullied nerd who deserves more than to be giving blowies and tugs in the can. In his defense, there is an incredible amount of potential AND he is a working family man. But how much time that he truly invests into this project is beyond me. But he is now WELL PAID and we demand a quality game that is finished. Hell, I'd go as far to say it is finished, with it being polished and side story arcs being addresed. On top of that, I even offered my writing talents to him for the project, pro bono I might add. To hell with this game, I say. I sank more than 30 dollars into it. I don't feel cheated or like my money wasnt worth it. But DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH...You'll suffocate if you do.

C Peter

I thought new staff was added to help speed up the progress. We still have not seen any changes in the status yet.

William Coles

I keep seeing all for the changes that is supposed to be in the next release, but the status has been on 80% for over five month. When will we see any movement in the status?

William Coles

if you look at the list of processes to be accomplished it will become apparent that a change is larger than one line of code. there is a lot to fix. chillax

Skeeta_bite

Maybe they want to surprise everyone when it finally releases. ;-)

Chris W.

it constantly says changes have been made but the percentages never changes kind of fishy

Travis Nickerson

I forgot i was still pay this. 😂

Summertime saga is all hand drawn then coded into the game so to get the amount of detail the game has its going to take time and the last real update was around the first few months of 2021

xg08

If you have a problem about paying then either reducing the payment down to the 1 dollar patreon tier or just cancel your membership

xg08

It's bot fraud in any way and you are not forced to pay if you have such a problem then way even still have the patreon dumb bitch

xg08

You could just do the 1 dollar membership

xg08

Over a year and a half since the last actual updated version. Just a bunch of teasers and wallpapers. Complete scam game at this point

Shott1e

That's why we all are here moron

Tomekish

Aaaand we all know you're still going to play when it come out.

Justin Love

When I left late 2019/early 2020, the tech update was the next step in the roadmap. Still not done, incredible, inexcusable.

Vall

Bahahahahaha

Sky

Game development can be costly and usually takes a great deal of time, even with a large team. I truly like your work, but that tech update has been feeling like forever.

Matt

more than enough to finish the game, that's for sure

I've been a paying patron since Debbie's Route was still in progress. At this point, I'm just gonna cancel and report you guys for fraud as there hasn't been a usable, genuine update in months. Fucking get your shit together.

Aaron Heath

Turn off or reduce the price of memberships if you're not going to update. You're not thieves, so have some respect for your patrons.

Right. Even the patrons who used to shout down the people "complaining" about the lack of progress have quit.

War-Son

agree. It's unbelievable that its been years and barely any girls in the school can be impregnated.

GR63

I’m out. Donating gave me no benefits I could harvest.

Now the full update has already "birthday" 1 year of full update time has now passed. But progress is so slow. that I, as a character, didn't want to get pregnant here. It's great that since Christmas there has hardly been any progress. even in the "changes in the last 24 hours" not much is going on. A pity. At the moment, even the best paying "patrons" get nothing for their money. It's a shame.

Ralf Krumpas

when?

Triangle George

cant wait for something new been waiting for months they should unlock all females can get pregnant and you can get with all of them not just a select few

david onan

beautiful work on the lighthouse i cant wait to see what's in store for it but as for now i will be removing my sub for the game at least until something more comes out. have been subbed for a few months now and got a handful of new scenes which i appreciate but feel as if i probably could have paid for the game, whenever it comes out.

how much per month (after he paid the taxes)? Think about it this way

Patyk

I would just like to see an update some time soon. A real update, prim and proper.

Julian Miranovič Štefanič

Its not a scam, you are not forced to donate wtf 🤣

summertype

averaging around 1% a month, so if you are realistic about it, 2025 at the earliest.

CJ

milking the patreons.

CJ

they are saying it's a scam because he has earned almost 2 million USD and hasn't released an "official" update in almost 2 years.

CJ

I have been playin this game for so long and supported on and off for i dont know how many years .. im seeing perfect updates regarding the game i have no idea why some poeple online are saying its a scam .. i support you dark cookie all the way .. the game you already have now is more than enough to satisfy anyone .. cant wait for what youll release in the future ❤️

news on the update?

KaiTarasu

Lowkey got some Gorillaz Floating Lighthouse vibes from these pics lol

Poopypoop

I don't want to be mean, but what's taking so long? I check the progress daily and there's barely any change. Don't you have people that work for you, with all the money we give you? I really like you're game, I've been a fan for years, but lately it feels like you're making fun of us. I hope it's just a feeling, tho... Hope we'll get to see the Tech Update soon, we've been waiting for so long... :(

Samuele Persichini

*should*

C. Y

Not sure if I downloaded property

How can I play

Im hella excited, im gonna play the whole game all over again when this update comes out

Hernan Flores

I just hope that when all of this update is complete, we get some fire content

Jamal King

Will 2023 be the year you finish this game 🥵 ?

looks rly nice

Thank you for the update GMagoo. I wondered how he could be giving new pics but the percentage hasn't gone up a point in how long????

War-Son

Hopefully tech update is soon

Looks great 💕

Mushi

Thanks Dave. I feel like I walk a tightrope between showing my appreciation by asking for more great content, and sounding like I'm complaining (which I'm not).

Auburn Zero

The comments section between here and WaL are such a night and day difference.

SilentG

Great but when

Zehir1995

Great update yet again. Really glad we waited a month for more stills (which btw were worked on/completed back in late 2022 for those not aware). I'm sure everyone is really happy that you've given a really in depth update on progress of Tech Update and appreciate that those who don't have time to watch all the live streams are sufficiently informed.

GojoMcgoo

100% agree. It's hilarious that people are still thinking that SS is better, enjoy your 2025 pre-tech update whilst the tracker is still stuck at 80% scrubs

GojoMcgoo

I lost count of the amount of years this tech update has been in progress.

billy orr

Great... so Release date???

OneSuperSheardy

This Biker bar, it is the one Crystal works at?

great work

Patyk

When will it be possible to play there?

get a life

summertype

Awesome!

nightster

I keep seeing people pushing What a Legend. The art is nice, but not the quality of SS and the animation isn't even close. SS is definitely superior. I understand people getting tired of waiting for the update and hopefully it won't disappoint, but there is no way Legend competes with SS at this point.

William weatherby

One of the WaL developers was very sick in the ICU. That's why they are behind

Krakatoa64

After checking out the lighthouse I do see a potential for some hammock sex!!! 🤠👍

Paul Beck

They're beautiful! BTW: Any plans to further flesh out, or complete, stories for Aqua, Thotbot, Pink Cyclone, or Odette in the cemetery? Making new locations is great, but finishing or rounding out what was already introduced would be cool, too. (I see you're already working on wrapping up Ronda's story, and I'm looking forward to it.)

Auburn Zero

I tried playing What a Legend when it was in 0.5 and it was more of a story than a game. The interface was clunky, the animation wasn't great. Unless they made some massive changes no thanks.

Hug Me

I love What a Legend too, as I love Summer Time Saga. The stories in both and graphics are really amazing. DC post every day a video on My Kompas VOD. I do not need words I can just watch the videos where I can view the dayly work. What a legend have the same problem. I think it is almost 6 months since they not post any upgrade. Just weekly reports in words every friday. No videos. Both games are amazing with amazing stories and arts. Some day they must work together to make more games. Keep working.

GOBOY

In the What a Legend discord you have a DAILY update tracker were you can more easily see the game growing, this is something I miss here in Summertime Saga, in may tier i have access to SS "update tracker" but it never seem to metter what they put there...next month I will move my patreon to What a Legend.

Túlio Leitão

Why is the tech update still in 80% !?!? In 3 months didnt advanced at all... I feel a little disappointed, please DC, give us any details of the progress, please man!!

jose hernandez

Real talk though guys check out “What a Legend” I think the patreon creator is named “Magic nuts” or something but it really is good. I noticed someone mention it in the comments of one of these past posts and I checked it out for myself and DAMN was I surprised by how much I liked it lol! Apparently it’s a married couple making the game with just the two of them instead of a whole team and they much more frequent updates apparently. I can’t confirm that last part because I just started following them and I’ve only played the most recent release but everything else I heard about it was true so I have no reason to be liege the people in the comments were lying about it having much more frequent updates then Summertime Saga. This isn’t a bash against Dark Cookie. Personally I’ve come to believe they’re purposefully stretching out updates to make more money for longer simply because they realized they struck gold with this game. But I also reeeeally enjoy summertime saga lol. At least the one or two real updates you used to get before they started this tech update everyone voted for and since we’ve only gotten mini updates which although appreciated have to slow down the tech update even further. Point is even though I feel like they’re stretching it on purpose and sort of scamming people in the sense I feel they could speed this up and save some people money in the long term if they truly wanted…I don’t really care anymore lol😂. “What a Legend” is basically the same if not better quality of and art style of Summertime Saga with apparently more dedicated and attentive creators that give you faster updates with a good deal of content. But I guess I’ll see for myself when I play their next release. So I just pay the bare minimum to Dark Cookie to stay updated and play the game I love when it eventually comes out so they don’t take all my money when I feel they’re purposefully dragging their feet to make a little extra. Then l’ll just actually put my support into “What a Legend” while I wait for Dark Cookie to get it together. And hey if I’m wrong Dark Cookie the I’m sorry for being a dick I guess lol and more power to you guys for working on making a great game. But now I can have something to enjoy for however long it takes for this tech update to finally come out. And before you guys say it no I’m not a plant or a plug for What a Legend 😂lol. I’m just mentioning it because I was out on to it by a comment from a previous Dark Cookie post and I’m it turned out great for me so I’m tryna to push it forward and maybe put others on. Its free btw too and I haven’t pledged to them but after playing this release I’m def going to become a patron while I wait for Summertime Saga just because I appreciate the hard work where I personally feel(like I said I could be wrong) Dark Cookie is failing. Anyways check it out guys. Or don’t idgaf lol😄

Billy bounce

Looks good!

Daniel

Hope the tech update is going smoother.

Anime

You keep replying, so it's clear you're just paying to complain at this point.

DioDa

Do your thing. I'm hoping for more preggo action and dp,even put them together 😃

JLYS-3

These look stunning! Can't wait to see them in their full glory. 😁

spectacularstyx

Cool.

Joseph

ElectionVariant24

I would just like to say that this tech update was announced in 2019 I'm pretty sure

dehydrated monkey nipples

Work on the tech update has just begun let's goooo

Seriously is this update being released in 2029 cause that is how long it seems to be taking

ObsidianDevil

M15T3R_GL1TCH
