I think I saw a post stating that the tech update was voted for by DC's patrons. Ain't gonna argue there.
It just feels kinda " my chicken sandwich is being replaced by an updated bread ".

Understood.
Also, the tech update was going to happen - what patrons had a choice between: Tech then R(h)onda or R(h)onda then Tech. And DC thought it would take only 3-4 months, same as a regular update like R(h)onda's...
But then, well, he realized there was a whole lot more that he wanted done in the tech update...

As I understood it, the game is still going to be as playable it was before the tech update.
The changes will be specifically situated around Debbie, Jenny and their story, adding in the expanded scenes/dialogue etc.
Other scenes, specifically the animated ones not tied to their stories, will be present in the game, but they'll still be in the original aspect ratio, because some of them will be either reworked, or changed entirely, depending on any future story changes. Think of Mia and her story line and how DC says he wants to redo a lot of it.
The rest of the backgrounds should also be in widescreen format throughout the game, but I'm uncertain of the posing for the other characters.

I think you misunderstand, unless you got that from something specifically from DC or one of his team in the past 7 days... it is not going to be a combination of the new version of the game and the old version. It's only going to be the chunk of the tech update that they are going to release...
From his 30 April 2024 Patreon end of month report: The initial Tech Update release will only consist of the main "home" stories (Jenny and Debbie), 1st day at school and minor locations. Despite having the majority of the game converted for the Tech Update, this will be the first "part" of the game to be released publicly.
From his 28 April 2024 Picarto stream: No, no, no. We can't have the old design or the old game part of the new game because it's a completely different framework.

It seems that they made things too complicated for themselves, which has left supporters more frustrated than excited. When they voted in favor of the tech update, I'm pretty sure none of them knew what was coming.
from the sounds of things the tech update is less an update but more of a remake.

GaRbS makes a great point. the tech update should be called Summertime Saga: Remake and get a new thread because this game is abandoned and will stay abandoned

If he remakes it, I hope he actually makes incest an option in the options menu or something.

I'll help jog their memory.
DarkCookie already removed that content in order to stay on Patreon in v0.15.0 – 15 April 2018. He cannot do what you want and still remain on Patreon.

At this point the "tech update" is basically a full blown scam.
Yes.Hold up, so your saying the update (that's supposed to add newer content to what the game already has) is going to strip off content which it already has???
I think whats about to happen is the opposite - he will remove all hints of incest and even the incest patch wont be able to fix things. Why else do he need to "rework" Jenny and the Debbie content. Same goes for Eric and his "landlady". Not that i give that much of a fuck . For me this game is about to implode on itself. Too much ambition , too much bad decisions . Remakes , ramakes of remakes. He had plenty of time to finish the game. This whole "tech update" is uncessesary .

The opposite, honestly. Seems like more people joined the thread.

It's entirely possible you're correct on that.
My confusion over this comes from the stream on May 2nd, 2024 starting at 45:31, where he's telling someone about what is and isn't widescreen, including the animations.
