60k a month! Have a new wallpaper guys! F*ck you c*ntcookie

Mikool42

Bro just admit you're lazy and promise you will do better, I'm 99% sure most of your fans would understand and forgive you

The Green Duckie

seriously dude. If you are upset with the speed DC releases content then just unsubscribe. Don't go around being a dick and start insulting people

Wayland the Smith

These are nice but progress *is* slow, so I'm going to cancel my pledge 'till the update comes out.

SirFlappy

A little too hard. But it's true that it can't work that way. Honesty would help if you're going through a bad phase.

fun

That is insane, I’ve seen multiple different games with great stories and ideas. But struggling to make at least 3k a month.

SirFlappy

For people who only follow Patreon, it's hard to understand what's going on.

Edgardo Rivera

Glad I'm not paying anymore for just some wallpapers I'll continue my subscription after the tech update is finally released. I would suggest everyone do the same

SirFlappy

That was more of a general statement. ^^ I have no idea either...

Verynice

Could we get one with maria

James Mick

I truly wonder what year this "tech update" will finally be complete. At around 1% progress every month or three, it could be a few more years.... and these wallpapes aren't even posted.

GojoMcgoo

"Here's 3 improved stills from an existing version of the game" Yeah can't imagine why the Tech Update is taking such a long time... $$$

Jonathan Lane

Games never getting done just gonna un patreon at this point

Perfectvalor

Thanks for letting us know Jonathan.

Frank Bartlett

So, where exactly do these get leaked to? I have yet to find any of the high rez ones. To all Y'all bitching about how slow things are taking, why dont you make your own game? Then let us know how easy it was for you.

Louie Raphael

Using them in game improving existing stories? <3 How much I'd love it! Cool, for example Grace definitely deserves her own little route ;)

Mister Glitch

the new wallpapers don't seem to be on the kompas website actually...at least as of this comment.

캔 요우

Well of course! Another fckin Wallpaper!

MrG

Agree 👌

MrG

It will be the most deceptive think ever

Leonardo

I’d rather have little pieces of information about the tech update or any when’s the possible release date

Big Leafy

Seeing alot of asses in the comments, as far as i can remember all the updates before the tech update came out relatively fast. Plus you can tell that the devs realise they are taking a long time because they gave us what, 3 or 4 pre tech updates with new scenes and they do theyre best to keep us updated so you can tell theyre trying. Unless you can do better you really have no room to talk🤷‍♂️. The games a great game and theyre doing a great job as far as im concerned.

Pockets Russel

Yeah it is a pretty awesome game right now as it stands. I'm fine waiting and not complaining. It doesn't even need updating with all of the cookiejar scenes, so any updates are just icing.

Big Leafy

Totally agree the main story is finished now, they couldve called it off then and started something new or dropped it but theyre still giving out content

Noduolc

I don't see them on kompas... do they take time to get released? Keep up the good work :)

Randy Daytona

To the STS team: Ignore every other comment on this post except this one!

Prentiss Malone

No showing up on kompas as of yet... Keep up the good work.

GreyWarden

If it isn’t already intended, gonna need that MCxGracexOdette ending, can’t romance one without the other

jose hernandez

Agree with you, grace and odette are perfect to me together at this point, but the MC addition would be a perfect icing. Oh and Eve, could be the crown gem!

jose hernandez

I think updating us with the advancements of the tech update at least bi-weekly would be beneficial for our anticipating butss!!! it coul help the anxiathy

Chief

The comments here are hilarious and pretty vicious lol. Truly, you can edit your pledge or cancel all together before the start of next month. I recently changed my pledge because I want to be more financially sound this year but the delays factored in too. I think it’s fair to express yourself but do something about to it too.

Arc

I don't see these when going to the Wallpapers page. Have they not been added yet?

Morazain

I find myself also being alarmed at the length of time this phase is taking. Its not being impatient I can only hope this product I am supporting does not fold up. This wait time has me concerned.

Lemon Life

"Complaining about Game Updates for Dummies" can be found in the Library.

Mark Blythe

I can't find them on Kompas

Wyper

It's definitely great that this game is making $65,000 a month, as it is deserved, but the time issue with the tech update needs to be addressed as it is not a minor thing when it was close to 4 years when the players voted for it, to think that with such a huge budget (which was even bigger at the time) that it wouldn't take this long.. yet to even have a release date.. while we get Wallpapers.. . While there are other games that are putting in just as much work and releasing new content regularly while barely making a fraction of that such as What a Legend. It's not a lack of developers and even if it was that problem should have been dealt with at that time knowing that such a big update was voted for. When others are making just as well thought out stories & characters and also art for 5% of what you are given at hand.

Lenwezzy

I don’t even care for a tech update anymore I just read all the complaints and find joy in their suffering. Money well spent

William Coles

How come we get all these new wallpaper's when the version to see them in has not been released yet?

William Coles

I understood that new people were hired to help get the next version out to us, but it's taking longer to receive the next release?

Paul Beck

I'm Definitely a Very BIG Fan of this project as a matter of fact the Roxxy storyline is my idea of {"Happy Ever After Until The End Of My Days"} unfortunately due to mortgage and car payments I'm only able to contribute at the level I contribute, once the economy turns around (Please Dear God Turn Around) I will happily upgrade my pledge in order of getting this new update to progress faster and Bug free, until then I can enjoy what I have and wait patiently. P.s. please bring forth the update as quickly as Ya'll can while Keeping the game Stable Thank You Immensely!!! 🤠👍

Patyk

end of March or April?

Adrian

Not asking for much but just weekly update post cause most of the time I don't have time to join the live streams to see the progress.

Vilexa

Talk about major scaling issues. For 65k a month, you should be able to churn shit out with proper management.

Mario

The Green Duckie he has every reason to be upset since he is giving money for his game and developers release so less and are posting update once every month which is crime considering how big this project is and how much they earn

Horusx6

now i want to see really soon tome update in the progressbar

Mert Çelik

yeni güncellemeler artık gelsin lütfen.

War-Son

Wow, end of the month. Time for another payday and bam! Another tidbit.

Saaaassy

Either drop the tech update or give us an honest answer why it’s taken so long

Chaos_Alfa

For updates I recommended checking the streams or the Discord server

PerilComics

Diane.. Diane.. what a slice... so nice.

Link Papa

Some of us work during the live stream, can you gives us the daily cliff notes from the streams?

vincent pasquariello

i agree with saaaassy. when will the tech update be out its been over a year almost 2.

Mrpeace

We gonna have a conversation after we had sex with eve not the same thing

OneSuperSheardy

i just hope for his sake that the promise of faster updates is true after the tech update, or i can see support for this project completely drying up

Chaos_Alfa

Streams are archived so you can watch them back I'm not up to date with the latest happenings, but I was reassured by an explanation on how tedious having to redo every scene again is to make it work with the new system I do think it would be helpful if this stuff would also get shared on Patreon even if it's thought of being too technical. Fans with technical expertise will be able to translate it for the less technical minded fans Here are the VOD of the streams: https://picarto.tv/DarkCookie

Chris W.

All you people who are saying "65K a month, DC is getting rich" are idiots. There are NINE people on the dev team now, all of whom need to get paid. Nobody's getting rich on that. And I've been a programmer longer than most of you have been alive. Taking a game that has as much animation as this game does and converting all of that from standard to widescreen is a HUGE job, and I doubt that anyone understood how big a job it was going to be before they started it. If you're getting bored with this game, quit bitching and go play some other games for a while.

OneSuperSheardy

I DO understand how big a job that is that's why I've been patient, and i know COVID hit everyone hard, but its getting silly now. with 9 people doing it it shouldn't have taken this long

Whisper9191

With nine people, they're still bringing in over $7,000 per month each. The tech update has been moving at a crawl for over two years (voted on in December 2020), with NINE people on the team. In the two years since it was announced, each team member has brought in roughly $168,000. They're NOT hurting for money. Understand that nobody was asking for the game to go from standard to widescreen, this is something the development team decided on their own. That is not the fault of the supporters, though they'e the ones paying for it. Every month they drag it out is an additional $65,000 coming out of the pockets of the supporters, without tangible results. "Pre-Tech" updates are smaller, and aside from them, it's been excuses and "teaser wallpapers". Every person who supports the game monetarily has a right to question the product that they're paying for. They're here because they WANT the game to succeed, but the developers actions aren't exactly inspiring confidence these days. It doesn't help when people see other developers create (and complete) bigger games, with better graphics, for less money, and in less time. On a side note, your programming experience is comepletely and totally irrelevant.

M&MndaAM

Go jerk off for while bud

Zachary Quinteros

Damn bro your speaking facts, plus its fair to say they pulled in even more money. They have lost a lot of subscribers over this 2 year venture, but I would say on average they have been pulling 72k a month maybe more.

Adickhitus

As much as I REALLY want to agree with you chris, I think the people at least deserves a CLEAR explanation as to why its taking so long, with that lack of clarity I really do think they are just milking the lot of us, but great game regardless

War-Son

I agree with Adick. They can't give the paying customers any explanation??

CJ

it's coming up on 2 years and 2 million dollars, that's just insane that it has taken this long, with that kind of money, they should have a team of at least a dozen working on the "tech update"

CJ

at it's current rate of less than 1% a month, it's looking like 2025 maybe

CJ

just some interesting food for thought, when the tech update initially started, he was making 90k a month!

CJ

ROFLOLOLOLOL, it is averaging about 1% a month, so no joke you are looking at 2025

Atyan

This game its been under development for yeeeeeeears and the funny thing there is another fame that is not announced

Patyk

half of month may?

Djma Draws

From what I've heard, they've recently finished the redone art and hired two new code monkeys to speed up the process. I'm guessing we're about a month away.

Chaos_Alfa

My guess is still 3 - 6 months

GojoMcgoo

If there's anything we can all agree on, it's that visual novels definitely take the longest to develop. Screw all these other indie developers innovating with something new and developing them faster for less money, they're obviously all wrong and not doing it correctly. They don't appreciate how difficult it is to re-align an object in a scene from one side to another AND add text too. Takes literally years and $69k+ to get that right. Fantastic work as usual, can't wait for the 2050 Tech Update to get released, it'll be life changing.

Mr Boss

$7000 lol bro, average programmer makes 5 figure per month…7k is not enough for them

Travis Nickerson

The status on the main page says 26 changes in the past 24 hours. But all the percentages are still the same for the last couple months. So I guess that means they changed nothing. The 26 changes are them changing their mind about updating

DarkJaqb

Depends on country, where i live its average from 3k for junior to 5-6k senior if you go with dollars, looking at data from last year for US 7-9k is average less than 25% have over 10k

ObsidianDevil

Bruh, I feel like this tech update has taken forever and this game is starting to fall off. At this point I don't feel like we're getting this year at all. I might have to go else or just wait for the update on the zone.

Wyper

You should try out What A Legend it has the same type of gameplay as this game and the art is amazing

Chaos_Alfa

It just means there is so much work to do that 26 changes are not enough for 1% progress

CJ

well we are coming up on the 2 years anniversary of the last official update before tech started. it is currently moving at less than 1% a month, sooo we have about 3 years left at it current rate.

ObsidianDevil

LOL🤣😂🤣. You wrong for that but at the same time it's so true.

GojoMcgoo

Someone has posted about What A Legend and they're not joking about how much better it is. They have weekly updates and the game looks phenomenal at the stage it's at. Bear in mind one of the updates included that one of the team (of 2 total) recently got discharged from ICU. Yet they still post very regular and detailed updates. When I say detailed, I mean more than 58 words. I'll let you come to your own conclusions from there.

WitchHunter1750

After the Tech Update, who wants to vote for the new update?? I want to see Debbie with a new pregnancy!

Dragononon

After finding this game last year and wanting to support the creator, I subscribed immediately. Since then, there have been almost no new updates. I appreciate the game that you made, but I'm not in the business of supporting content creators who don't create content. I've enjoyed the stories, but after close to a year with little movement on it, I don't really even remember them. I think I've contributed enough for now. Best of luck!

Ms. Black Fire

dude he is making a game and have decided to wait to update the game until the Tech update instead of posting small ones it is understandable if you don't want to give money just to support him but you could always just go to the lowest rank and then increase the rank when they update is out

Dragononon

dude that's cool and all but I'd rather not continue supporting what is seeming more like a money grab. If they really wanted to prove that they were releasing the tech update in good faith, then they could dual track a secondary game release plan "SS Tech Build 0.0.1", and release consistent updates on it, even saying "this is an unstable build", so that there's at least some transparency on the state of things. This black box of "we can't show you anything until its complete" is shady, especially with how long its taken to do. For now, I'd rather fund other projects from content creators who are actually creating content.

Adam Ghost

Yeah Ive been following this creator for a while and Ive followed many who do similar work, I can easily conclude that this is 100% a money grab. The creator knows it though, He knows this is a particular kind of niche and there is clearly a massive group of people that do not care either way and just want to content when they can. Its sad, I have reduced mine to a dollar, I shouldve stopped a long time ago, but then again, I used to be a 20 a month patron. I guess why would you give up a good thing you got going when clearly the majority still support him anyway. His patrons go up every month. It would be an awful business practice and terrible relationship building with his customers in any other field almost, except this one, he gets away with it and I can guarantee he does not care. Hes making that $$$$

JimF51

Seems a typical "I want it right now" complaint. I've had this game for years, and it is way larger than the original. A lot more content, some nice update/changes to the 1st versions, and have never had any bug issue, unlike many games one spends big bucks on, only to have to update a number of times before game runs right. I have yet to find a similar game like this one, with this much content. But, each to their own. $10. don't break the bank, so I'll stick with it.

Dragononon

I mean, this depends on what you mean by "it", really. Assuming that "it" is "transparency and regular updates on what is going on", then yes I do want that right now, and that is a legitimate concern. There's a pretty big difference between wanting transparency and updates versus wanting more work done than is reasonable and trying to rush the creators to get more out. Is this concept that difficult to understand? One of these things is easily defensible. The other is not. How hard is that to grasp? No wonder these guys don't care to release content, when they can just sit back and have tools fund them and and (poorly) defend them against real concerns. To each their own, as you say.

bill Clinton

say what you want. I agree this does feel like a money grab. but it is what it is

Paul Simpson

In DC's defence it was the voters that gave him the green light for this upgrade, however, it could have been phased in better.

OneSuperSheardy

I voted for the tech update, because in the explanation post it was touted as being easier to do faster updates etc... but the amount of time its taking is excessive

Arkay

Excited for the tech update and future Annie update.

mikeinson

In my opinion the biggest point of friction is the lack of information on patreon. Only few people follow the live stream but want to know at least some kind of status/progress. It would be rather easy to fix this problem if there was just a small dev blog from time to time. I am sure many would understand the situation and would react with patience. But to neglect the major part of the paying community like this, is just a way to say: I absolutely not care about anything people say.

Mark Maek Mark

I mean if we dont get the tech update in the next 3-7weeks it kinda sucks

Rob

They also mentioned this would take about 6 months. Not 2 years...

Paul Simpson

Totally agree, also. there seems to be an unreported problem with the update. I don't know what it could be, however, a bit of honesty would not go amiss, perhaps one of his followers would have a solution.

OneSuperSheardy

i reckon where will be another Halloween update before then... he says he has a team doing the work, but if he has then some of them need replacing because its been 2 years, we aint talking COD here thats a 2-3 year game to develop this aint that level

William weatherby

Same, I'm hoping the tech update is the foundation for a whole bunch of awesome updates to come. I'll wait for the upgrade.

William weatherby

It seems like the kind of game that can hold you over until the next saga update, but Summertime Saga has me hooked and I always come back to it. Legend's art is amazing, but nothing like what DarkCookie is doing and the animation isn't close.

marion a turner

im kind of hoping they give the ability to get roxxy pregnant

Atyan

With the current progress ( when the game will be officially released and 100% completed??????)

mikeinson

Is this question rhetorical, or do you honestly expect an answer to that?

Atyan

🤷‍♂️

marion a turner

why not both can try to get them both in the delivery room at the same time but it will probably be awile before that happens because that would be a perfect time to move them into the beach house and i have been told it will still be around a year and a half before that happens

marion a turner

why widen the map just mak 2 maps that way they dont have to keep making it larger everytime they make changes to the area

GR63

I hope we could also get Mia pregnant as well

SNW

You guys waste a lot of time doing minor updates instead of finishing the technical update.

Auburn Zero

I think the story of the MC's father was the main game. Everything the DarkCookie team does now is just side-stories and bonus material that keeps the world alive (and the money flowing). So, in a way, the game is 100% complete, unless I've misunderstood.

Paul Spaulding

Yeah I know it's been at 80% for about a month maybe a little more

Bone

More like a year at 60k Usd a month

Clark Kent

I would LOVE to see more sex scenes with Grace. Her story is so hot

Chris Wreker

I feel like there is so much more to Grace's story if they develop her a little more.

Smith

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

Chris Wreker

Odette and Eve's sister are so hot
