Well then, you're the sucker then.
I've not paid a penny to any developer here.
Never have, never will.
Do the saves compatible with prev versions yet? Every 4-6 months when this game released it would make old saves unusable. Is it the same case?

many saves v0.20.16 and earlier work on v0.20.16.
v21.0.0 has new code and variables and saves prior to v21.0.0 are not compatible

The Coding Problem was Real, what Dark Cookie should have done for the Tech Update is hiring two to three Coders that work together and keep one of them when the Tech Update is done.
What Cookie did instead: fired the Coder who fucked up and just hired one coder for this Project that now needs to bring everything back alone. That was stupid.

The Discord also exists, where all these types of criticisms are deleted by mods. Where there is only "positive" talk about the game. So if it really bothers them, they can go there. But they don't. I wonder why?
Progress is nonexistent, they're purely re working most of the scenes and coding, maybe one or two new scenes. As far as percentage, given its been almost half a year since content started coming out, and we pretty much only have jenny and debbi done, i'd say MAYBE 5-10%
I really don't get why people still give money to this poroject...there are other creator making good games that could use the suport...
To take a dump on his throne.
Let's say the code is the unholy mess that everybody claims it is. Sure. I bet it's awful.
If you sat down and rebuilt this game from square one, having full access to the scriptwriting and art assets, it wouldn't take 6 months. There are no systems at play here that are complicated or unique. You have an inventory system that's out-the-box for Ren'Py. You have basic timed puzzles like the gardening one, the pizza delivery one. These could literally be replaced with any minigame, they're indepedent little systems in a bubble.
The actual meat of a game like this is the interconnectivity of the character stories and player reactivity, and those are basic as well. Most exist in cul-de-sacs, completely divorced from each other. The ones that do interact are in very basic ways, i.e. you can only unlock the Cow Girl if you advance Diane's story to a certain step. Since this is a harem game, very few routes are closed off or change based on the player's actions. Eve's gender is, programming wise, a superficial choice since it merely triggers different images and dialouge. The overall story is the same. Every pregnancy is simply a different character portrait and a few restricted options on a timer before things are returned to a default state.
I don't buy the coding problem being as severe as it was made out to be. This is not a complex, systems-driven experience. It's a regular ass Ren'Py harem game. It's technically unimpressive, carried completely on DC's signature art style. If he dropped a $20K fee on a programmer of passing talent, he'd have the entire thing remade in a month.
Probably more reworked animations for may
I think I played this game once in 2017, didn't understand why people liked it so much, and then never touched it again.
Now, in 2025, this game is my entertainment, but it comes in the form of scrolling this thread. Best money I never spent!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but with that level of income/patronage, why doesn't he (temporarily) hire a couple more coders to pick up the pace and build a solid foundation?
I imagine he has some great ideas that he wants to draw and implement but he's been "stuck" for years.

Because being stuck for years makes more money over a longer period of time than actually solving the problems the game has.

People who don't understand why others keep giving money to this project and some similar, need to read about sunk costs fallacy.
Came to check the update, stayed for the memes 
Maybe I'm dumb, but why Can't I access most of the routes? I paid the $1 patreon, but still can't do the Roxxxy, Mia/Helen, Diane, Eve, Odetta, Aqua, Daisy, and Consuela's routs? How do I access these?
I tried and doesn't work ! Could you share your save files, friend?So FYI, because DC and his crew aren't the sharpest tools in the shed these aren't in the cookie the jar.
However, upon completion of the current content, visiting Debbie in the shower will allow one to access 3 preview scenes:
Blowjob
Sex in the shower (now at a much worse angle)
Sex after the shower
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The kitchen evening sex scene has also returned.
That is how DC gets away with telling people that this update would include sex with Debbie.
At the rate this shithousery is going, there will almost certainly be a 5th Debbie update, but that's pure speculation. To be honest, it wouldn't be unfair to speculate he goes a 6th update, and we make it a full year of Debbie.
To think, these Debbie updates are only happening because DC tried to sneak 8 (now 9) year old art into the first release of his tech update after vanishing for nearly 2 years, and people quite reasonably mocked him for it.
If I am going to give credit for one thing, DC's team that compiles the updates (putting together the code and the art and such), are actually beating the allegations that it takes them 1+ months to put it together. Stuff DC drew a week ago on stream is appearing in the updates. So well done for no longer being completely shit.
See everyone again in 2 months.
