Wow can't believe this is still ongoing

 

[FamousPotato]

Let it go, brother. It's been a year

It's called feature creep and they bit off more than they could chew... but yeah I understand that the wait has dragged on for too damn long.

 

[fd13333]

best normal game in my op

 

[DavidTiff]

game will be finished in 10 years at this pace

I still remember when DC said this update would only take a couple of months to implement, but feature creep and not getting more people involved in completing tasks like Posing and Coding are really dragging this down. It's such a shame, because the game is really fun, but its reputation is marred by this Tech Update that's taking so long to make, even ICSTOR managed to finally release the 'final' version of his game. Maybe things will change when the Tech Update finally comes out, but I think it's unlikely the wait will be worth it

My only solace is that after the tech update.... and the following bug fixes, what will be left is nothing but posing and writing for the other patches, since DC just kept going with the art while they did their coding shenanigans.

What do you guys think is going to happen if everyone that paid him every month stop at all the same time do dc going to high speed process or stop and abandon the game?

 

[Janneke]

This game was so good at the beginning. There are just too many characters. I wish they would just focus on Debby, Diane, and Jenny (and maybe his neighbor's mom). And I wish Debby would wear gloves, like a proper housewife.

That is true. Rhonda is supposed to be next, and I remember watching a few streams where he was working on some of that art. Makes me wish this update would move faster so we can finally spend time with her.

i believe he's doing the game as a main source of income, right?

 

[TsavoriteKitsune]

I still have faith this will be finished someday.

How is a game with zero updates in 18 months not listed as "Abandoned"?

Because he streams almost every weekday working on the game. Can't call a game abandoned if it looks like he's doing work, however slowly it may be

 

[GrouseZero]

One of the best adult games ever made in my opinion. Can`t wait for the update!

 

[laredoyj1988]

played a long time ago and was awesome, going to try again

 

[User_39146]

Looking forward to next update

 

[macfinn99]

When DarkCookie started this game, saves weren't compatible with the updates and required a restart every time. He's done a virtual ton of artwork that he has never put in the game and he keeps redoing existing artwork. DC needs to hand the management of the game development over to some competent people that know what they're doing and just concentrate on what he's good at, the artwork. It's been a year and a half and a knowledgable and competent team could have rewritten the entire game from scratch.

I saw the update on here and I got really excited all of a sudden. I had been following this game since updates were coming out weekly....then monthly...and now not even yearly. I hope this will be updated at some point but with Patreon being so lucrative as it is, there's no real incentive to finish this. Oh well, at least the game as it is has been really good so far

 

[norwegianwood]

LC coins? change? any spare change?

 

[kekerovkeker]

I spent a lot of time playing this game, I don’t regret anything
