Status update!

Sorry for the lack of news this month, we've simply wrapping up the next batch of scenes and continuing work on the Tech Update. I fell ill with a cold last week and couldn't stream but I'm back now!

When will the next batch of scenes be released?

We were planning to release it by the end of September (now), but it looks like it will be in October instead (soon). It will include new animations of Liu, Eve, Diane, Crystal and Jenny.

When will the "Tech Update" be released?

The development of the tech update is still ongoing. It's definitely been a grind going through all background extensions, re-exporting every asset, re-posing the entire game, rebuild the code base from ground up and so on. It's going well and you can watch the daily live stream to see the work being done.

What we have to decide shortly on a potential 3rd batch of scenes for you guys while you wait for the Tech Update to be done. If we so, it will have very little dialogue and simply be new angles to existing scenes. We have to keep the team focused on finishing the Tech Update, but we also understand fans are eager for new content and don't want to wait for releases.

Poll?

I will be posting a poll to see what type of content you prefer in our updates this coming week. Something that will help us narrow down the things you enjoy in our releases.

-------------------

Thanks for being patient and sending us your feedback/suggestions on how to improve our game!

Status update!

I'm 7 months late in replying to this but it's nice to see see such a smart response. If you feel you are paying for nothing why are you still paying!? Just quit and come back when the game is done! It's not hard! Honestly so many people who use Patreon don't seem to understand what it actually is...

Mav

Reminds me of Rockstar with GTA V. On the 360 and ps3 lol.

He streams almost daily, that's more than enough "news" for what you pay for.

Justin Love

I've been in game development for more than 10 years doing things from Q&A, to 3D modeling and animation, to coding, and almost your entire comment...is wrong lol

You're wrong, there is no obligation attached. A sailing channel SV Delos has a 3/4 million subscribers and their patreon page says "Buy us a beer", that doesn't mean those two parents and a toddler are obligated to drink $25.000 worth of beer every month. I challenge you to find anything in the patreon terms that dictates that the creater has to meet donators expectations.

I love summer time saga and I know it's not easy following the story line and keeping the characters up to snuff when updating. I would rather wait for a quality update than a rushed hodgepodge. Keep up the good work, the art is great and the story line is even better.

It's a donation. Those who receive donations are obligated to respond to what they are doing. In this case, the payment is made once a month, so there must be news once a month. What kind of work is being done, even if it's not an update. The update gauge is meaningless because it hasn't changed for months. Let's say you donate money to orphans. Those who receive donations should respond to how the money is being spent. Donation is not a one-way, but an interactive action. The donor wants the money to be used properly, and the recipient of the donation must meet expectations. It's just absurd to say, "You gave me the money at your disposal, so shut up how I was spending it."

appreciate people like you, well said :)

I see people complaining, what a surprise... comments like these : "milking money is all they are doing. I hope more and more people start leaving. this is not million dollar+ game." "He made 1,5 mil $ with it" You guys go educate yourself about the cost of making games before whining about that amount. For what i know, there are about 7 people on the team working on that game, it's a story heavy game and these are basically the worst in terms of budget And even if you go as far as to consider that not a single cent went back into the game (i mean come on...), you still end up with a barely decent annual salary for each member of the team. You supported darkcookie for a while and now you're angry cause you didn't get anything out of it? Then go, it's okay, in a few month or maybe more, there will be an updated version of the game with added content, and your money is gonna be in there, even though you stopped in the meantime, it helped them before, helps them now and is going to help them later. I stopped my membership yesterday cause i consider i paid a decent amount of money on that project because i think it deserves it, but i'm not gonna complain that stuffs are not being added right now, who the hell thinks that way seriously… You didn’t order a big mac, you supported a creator and his creation, which is exactly why patreon exists in the first place.

MoonYeah!!

"Soon" is apparently a very flexible term. 🙃

its 22nd of october and still waiting

A matrix

milking money is all they are doing. I hope more and more people start leaving. this is not million dollar+ game.

I dont know anymore... this game is in Developement since March 2018 or even longer. He made 1,5 mil $ with it. All the litte treats here and there aside... 7 Month for 58% is pathetic. And dont come at me with " this is difficult". With 60K a Month from your Community..... I cancel my Membership now and maybe come back in a year or so.

yep last proper update was march 25th, i dont count the shitty ass PRE TECH UPDATES

MR20B

wait is this accurate? 7 months for 58% ?

Bryant Reed

7 months so far just for a TECH UPGRADE lol

MR20B

I am about to cancel my membership and then rejoin when there's an update.

Ken Floyd

I think it's because of the quality that the new animations play, you can see in newer animations they are at a higher framerate.

Patryk

threesome with Tina and Liu is what I expect

A matrix

you say you understand and then you write things like this. do you understand or don’t you?

Skeeta_bite

It's on the Kompas website's Dev Tracker page (if you're a patreon and log in to it)

Volé

how do you know this? is it on his stream?

Bryant Reed

I agree. I think the same could be said of Tammy and June's routes... there's no logical reason as to why you couldn't technically have both of them.

Bryan Ungurath

Currently they're working on things like #892 Quest Mapping Main Story and #886 Re-pose Debbie. I imagine either of those will take a long time to complete.

Volé

I don't know about anyone else but I'm getting tired at the lack of progress . Keep the wallpapers and add some more content to the game . I understand it takes time to write all the content but the status bar has gone up 2% in the last month or two .

Lenny Hefel

Make it so Judith thinks only about Dick!! she see Dicks in everything! She cums with every touch but she has never had the real thing ,,,,, and its driving her crazy,,,,,, she want it in every hole and is willing to do anything for the right one!!!!!! Just a thought!!!!

A threesome scene with MC, Maria, and Tina would be amazing

Verynice

Polls make my pole hard...

Leif Conti-Groome

Yeee, Definitely high-key want to knock up Judith. Just saying ;D

Alexander Anderson

Can we please work on decoupling the Mia and her Mom stories? Making them mutually exclusive paths is just annoying.

FrequentFlyer

Definitely need more Judith for sure.

Michael

i just want to see some Judith content especially the pregnant content

PinkKOalaPrime

If you want that happening, you need to relay that to DC in summertime saga discord. He might be open to that idea. which is having K-bot transfer her intelligence into actual full size robot.

WitchHunter1750

Like Roxxy? or her friends?

WitchHunter1750

I would like it if you would go back and add some pregnancy options for some of the "older" characters who didn't have it enabled yet. That would be outstanding. Knocked up cheerleaders anyone?

... and hey DC... I signed up as a $5 patron and it got kluged up. I then submitted a second registration for $1. I sent a message about it. We need to fix it.

Ghost Indian

I am new to this game. Just finished the first run through. I was surprised that Jenny remains a b**** even after having her life saved. But I get it... changing content is a challenge. Just my $.02. Really like the game though. Looking forward to future content.

Ghost Indian

that would be ...........**

A matrix

I kinda wanted a threesome with eve, roxxi, and mc at school, because they both kiss mc in front of the other, but neither has brought it up

Jack Reaver

with jenny its her way of hiding that she really does want a relationship with the MC she just hides it with the pay to date thing, classic tsun. Mia's story really needs work because most of it is based on you not helping her family stay together, because if you do help her family stay together you get a half-baked ending with her, while making the family split leads to a more satisfactory ending. kind of like the jane endings if you choose to steal ur friends potential girl you get a decent ending with the character, if you choose to hype ur friend up he gets the girl, and the 3rd choice is a lacking threesome that i personally feel needs work.

RebornJm

MC,Jenny, and Roxxy also needs to happen as well

RebornJm

Naah probably friday or saturday

Then use the cheat mode. That'll help beat the game.

WitchHunter1750

I agree entirely. Although, I really do want Rhonda's Storyline to be completed first.

JF

You'll have to wait for it to get to Annie's Update. The TECH UPDATE is almost finished. Then Ronda's Update.

WitchHunter1750

Don't we all?? You can do that in Annie's Update, where is after Ronda's update. It will be about the AFTER SCHOOL NIGHTLY SECRET CLUB AT the school. But you'll have to wait for that to happen.

WitchHunter1750

5th of October and still waiting

A matrix

Grace needs to have a definitive resolution to her ambivalence to the MC (she likes it but feels bad for Eve). Find a way for both Eve and Grace to be OK sharing, or pick one over the other (you'd have to have max charisma to pull off convincing both of them to share the MC). If Grace ends up getting her own route, that' be cool, too. Other than that, Annie, Ronda and coach all need their own routes fleshed out. Jenny? Not a fan. She needs to be brought down a peg or twenty. Maybe do something post gf experience that makes her realise the MC should be treated better. While I think of it, Mia needs more content, for sure. Her story feels minimal. Also, if the MC keeps Howard and Helen together, their telescope scenes need to be adjusted to take into account their new attitudes to each other. No more Helen ragging on Harold. That alone makes me want to send him sailing off into the sunset with Yumi.

Pete Andrews

except Grace

A matrix

I'm curious about K-bots future, I think it be a fun side story to get her A.I. into the maid bot so shed have more functions.

James Woolsey

Maria is not loved enough definitely, Superbad! Idk where to go with her though, Tony is the dad we wished we had, feels weird sharing Maria. From her scenes I’m not sure Melonia can handle being on top lol should be able to take her in the ex-mayors office on his desk!

GreyWarden

Curious you guys feel like there are any.. “sacred cows” in game? Like chicks or situations you don’t feel right getting into; IE Sara, would feel wrong betraying Capn Terry. (Though it also felt wrong giving Maria the extra marinara, but that made sense)

GreyWarden

Knocking up Becca & Tina at the same time.. Visible sweat lol. The Roxxy one will hit different. Selfish but I was to see Coach Bridget get knocked up, after a sparing match of course. New meaning to “Summerslam” haha

GreyWarden

Lol almost forgot about Sister Kim, gotta continue to dunk on her bro after all! The Rump clan are interesting I wonder if the characters that could have real life counter parts will be expanded on..

GreyWarden

I don’t doubt the warehouse girls are coming, foreshadows hard. Priya needs proof those fertility pills work! Yumi will probably be an alternative choice against Harolds wife. Veronica is practically throwing herself at the MC she will be in the fold soon enough. We need some Jane, after they teased the addictions, MC should be making her relapse lol

GreyWarden

Tbh I would like the upcoming poll to exclude the winners of the 2 previous polls

CL_Overlord

Could someone tell me what should I do when Diane tells me “gardening in summertime hardly feels like work. greenfingers earning greenbacks”

Angel Atencio

At some point a 3 some with MC, Debby and Jenny would be hot

Ben

I think a chance to bang yumi and sarah is needed

My vote would be new angles for grace and odette

Kevin Tucker

that would be too much to Harold, Wife, Daughter and Girlfriend.

A matrix

I like Yumi the police officer

she does have a scene but...common she's worth more ;)

I'm saying it, y'all are thinking it. SISTER ANGELICA. PLS DC 🤣

Syahmi Haziq

I also support the idea of a poll with minor characters who have had little or no scenes so far and will not be considered in the following updates either. First and foremost, I am thinking of the warehouse girls. But also nurse Micoe, Priya from the hospital, Yumi the police officer, Lily, Kassy and Veronika from the mall. Thank you for your efforts D.C.

Marco

I'd honestly like the removal of having to choose between Mia and Helen

Drachenbar

We have Roz

PkmnTrainer

MC has a great beach condo. It would be fun for the MC to be able to invite each of the teachers over to the condo in separate scenes (of course MC would have to do something to unlock the possibility)

Perry

In the Debbie and Diane threesome scene it would be neat to add the use of a strap on to have each of the ladies be able to do DP. Or just give the option of the MC to alternate between ladies and all 4 holes available.

Perry

What?!

A matrix

Do something for the poor teachers before they’re revisited a few years from now. Just have either or both the art teacher & music teacher turn around while having sex. There’s too much back in both their scenes and not enough boobies and facial expression.

Randy Daytona

When having day sexy with Maria at the pizza parlor, choice between bending her over the oven (which we have now) or setting her on the prep station, she’s sitting & MC is standing having sex with her face to face while her titties fly free and bounce around.

Randy Daytona

If there is going to be additional scenes and you want Eve and/or Jenny in the poll just auto include them. Don’t even both with the illusion of choice. It’s democracy but the people are retarded. After that hurdle maybe have the poll for the unsung ladies, like Melonia where she either rolls the MC over and goes cowgirl or MC flips her over for missionary. Or while bending Tina over the desk MC could have the option for butt stuff too. But you should 100% without a doubt have more Maria content. Always add Maria. Always. Add. Maria.

Randy Daytona

I would like to see some new/old characters get scenes. Annie,Judith,Beth, Lily, Kassy,Lucy, Micoe,Tammy, Anna, Veronica, Sarah, Jane and Angelica etc there are so many characters in the catalog I feel we should see more of them and add diversity to the already great game.

i really want to see the progress and the animations with Anne, such a good girl to be fuc*ed hard

It won't happen with Patreon's incest rules

Yatantal

I’m more hoping for some mommy daughter threesomes like Jenny and Debbie, Annie and Lucy, Becca and Tina, Roxxy and Crystal, Judith and beth, Martinez and Consuela, Mia and Helen, and Iwanka and Melonia. Even some eve and grace, we gotta get them incest wincest points!

I had the same problem, there are some save files, but what i did is a bit easier. You can click on the wifi logo on your phone to access the cheat menu, you can add anything. I than just turned on “skip” and steamrolled through the game. It takes like 15 minutes to finish if you use the menu and the “skip” option. Even less

She's due to get a teacher-length route, but not until the 'schoolgirls' at least are finished. She is said to have some walk-ons in Rhonda's route but nothing lewd with MC

Volé

mc should have a granny for more fun

lurchxx

I was wondering about a Coach Bridget storyline because out of all the teachers she is the only one without one? But everyone keep up the good work on the game

I'm definitely looking forward for more Evie content. I dunno why but I just love her/s Storyline and apart from being aroused by it, it also touched me quite a bit. Also the involvement of Grace to mention it. Honesty I would want to have a threesome with Evie and Grace - but first the tech update please :) Thank you for your hard work.

is there any chance i can get a save file i got a new pc and lost my file with everything completed

Mordrake

Mrs smith anal scene would be dope

New scenes with Ivy and Micoe

I want Mrs.smith

i want the shemale to pound the players ass

vincent pasquariello

I'd perfer Anne

i wanna get my hands on that Principal, and just dominate her, wanna make her my slave

OneSuperSheardy

please no more jenny, she is the girl with more scenes in the game

The sure thing is that between new animated scenes, tech updates, future animated scenes, the times obviously lengthen considerably. When you take the survey, can you please insert the possibility to go directly to the tech update without going through new animated scenes? At most, if possible, insert the new animated scenes in the tech update...

Chip Guru

im on the fence with her but i agree with the grace idea lol

Black prior

just please NO MORE JENNY; I never liked her

A matrix

Jenney, Debbie and Diane foursome. And then Grace on the bike and finally have a secret relationship woth MC and that will be perfect👍👏💯

A matrix

I'd love to see more Maria and definitely more Helen.

I hope you care about your body while outputting high-quality content

I don't know about y'all, but I need more CONSUELA love!!

Chris Houston

I'm good without a third batch of scenes right now. I really want to see the Tech update go all the way and come to us.

Bill R Pearson

Why is Missy left out? Why not vote on 2newer characters and one older character. That way you stay fresh and still enhance older story arcs!

A few more anal scenes would be great, especially with Jenny and possibly a scene or 2 with Becca where Roxxy isnt involved.

Robert Martinez

The best choices for the new batch of scenes : Odette on the couch, A threesome with Svetlana and Nadya (for Katya and Khadne, i hope we can have their scenes with Priya story arc), The Terry and Sara voyeur scene and new sex position for Josephine, Iwanka and Melonia.

dragonangel59

I'd love to have an actual route for grace and Odette! Hell what would be awesome of they had a foursome scene with eve, grace, and Odette.

Give Debbie a real POV Anal scene! Not the hitting it from behind with MCs ass thrusting back and forth.

Matt Bailey

I'd like to see more Becca scenes that are independent of Roxxy including pregnancy

ivanhunter- johnson

Grace would be cool to have her own story route

Robbie J M🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I’d like the next poll have new options for new scenes like Mia, Nadya, Micoe, sister Kim and Iwanka. To have more variety.

PkmnTrainer

True. Forgot about that, they did win in the poll.

JSteeze

Best Girlfriend Ever

RamLock

Roxxy is my Dream Girl I Just Can Not Get Enough of Her!!! 🥰😍👍

Paul Beck

What happened with the Maria and Tony scene? In the last post they won 🤷

Grace would be wonderful.

I want to see more Grace with story implications, maybe her own route! More Becca and missy or why not Veronica or the yoga girl

Robert Van Buhler

they win because that is what the majority of people want to see, why deny the people what they want...? I am on the opposite side of this, give eve every scene.

kptkickass

It's me? Yeah, it's me! pantyhose upskirt!

smackline

Exclude Jenny and Eve from the poll, please. They have already enough scenes and it's getting really annoying with them winning every poll. Edit.: In 3rd batch it would be cool to use chars, who lost the last 2 polls. Give them another chance, please.

Nah, people are just overly obsessed with Jenny and Debbie, even though their catalogue of scenes dwarfs everyone else's

Licorice Lain

Another round of extra scenes? Hellyeah

Licorice Lain

Hear Hear!

glrider

May we suggest winners of past polls be excluded from new polls?

Thom Cate

Even if you start with skills up, for the fight with the Russian you need to train up to max

DarG

Would love a missy, becca and mc threesome.

Maharg

Can Mans get a Debbie and/or Jenny scene fam?

Lokela

Pregnancy for Debbie, Roxxy, and her friends would be nice.

Rexkless

Agreed. As much as I love all of those characters, it would be nice to see characters who haven't gotten as much love get a chance in the spotlight.

Yokhana Abraham

Pregnancy scenes Dabbie, Roxxy and her friends?

Гней Марций

Can’t wait for more Jenny she’s the baddest (maybe Roxi counters) Crystal should be interesting MC might not make it out without a scratch. I know Liu isn’t popular for some reason, but she’s got some of the best looking scenes.

GreyWarden

I'm not a big fan of the fight with the Russian. Arrows are too randomized and far apart so its damn near impossible to beat.

Michael

Me too, but MC, Mia and Eve would be nice too.

Jarbarian

You should eat more veggies and fruits. That could help to avoid getting sick.

PervMASTER

Soon. Its all good man everyone gets sick, take your time!!

MC, Eve and Grace threesome? Naughty, but hey, I'm a disgusting pervert.

DC just said on Picarto that Tony and Maria are still in the about-to-release scenes. He forgot to mention them in the post

Volé

Im waiting for a 2girl, MC scene!

Jarbarian

If I can make an suggestion for the poll can we Exclude Debbie, Diane, Eve and Jenny. These four have the most content out of all the others. Other than that I’m patient this game is worth it keep up the good work.

Ognij

I like to see better FPS on the "good stuff" animation. I know it's 2D graphics, but it's not processor intensive as I can tell. Why not make the frames match what i'd look in real time?

Jarbarian

Keep up the great work, it's a FREE game and it's worth the wait.

Some scenes I'd like to see: MC standing up, making out with a girl while she wanks his dick to a cumshot. MC and Erik doing a DP on his landlord, Erik in the rear. MC doing so much more with the nurse at the hospital.

Biff Edwards

I have been playing on a Kindle Fire but I have largely stopped because it is so unstable. Will the tech update help fix the constant crashes?

Mia is queen!

More love for Roxxy! 💙💙💙

Beast

More maria content!!

Verynice

Please take your time. I will wait eagerly but patiently.

I'm hoping for another Halloween surprise.

Allen Lewis

Worth the wait you never disappoint

Jorge Perez

Quality over quantity. Release it when it is ready, and not because fans want it now.

Branden Bellows

Keep up the good work guys we will all still be here no matter how long it takes

Hungry Fox

Honestly I think after this batch of scenes I'd rather y'all focus on the tech update to get that done faster. But that's just my opinion.

Zulthat

update for mac ?

gianni

Do not mind waiting for quality. Besides, this is another chance to get a solo Missy scene! Really want to complete the trio of girls for tech update.

VNOverlord

Will the mayor rump's house be unlocked to

Thanks for the update, DC -- looking forward to the new scenes :)

Am I eager for new content? Yes. However, I would rather have quality content over a quantity of filler. The last batch of scenes were a mixed bag (mostly good). Becca and Eve's were great; Roxxy not so much. If a third set of scenes would be closer to Eve and Becca's, I'm all for it. Not so much if it's like Roxxy's though.

Joshua Gouge

On picarto.tv, look for dc there. He annouces it every time he goes live on Discord

Arboris

Can't wait 😁

Salted_Caramel_Dinosaur

Don't worry about it, better to release solid finished content instead of buggy rushed work, keep up the good work, any updates are always appreciated, the streams are already a good window into the progress of the game!

Can’t wait for this update I know it’ll be worth the wait

kevin mosley

All good.

Arcmay

Funny enough, last night I was thinking "it's been awhile since we've gotten a status update"

There's a stream?!?!? Where?
