with the 'house' stories being the first done upon release. So Debbie and Jenny. Which, I guess many people actually only care about because incest.

Even so, wouldn't the incest patches be broken? Or did the writing get 0 touch-ups as text/code? I don't think the "family" crowd would be thrilled to replay two already completed storylines without the part that satisfies them. Then again while skimming through the last page I saw "new art" mentioned and unless you're all just mentioning the wallpapers it could be enough to draw fans in. (Edit: actually isn't aunt Diane the only one retaining the "aunt" in vanilla? And her story is not gonna be included so the relative-loving fans are getting shafted either way)

To everyone complaining about mods being sell-outs, I'm personally waiting until it's the 1st. Not a fan of Morado but he knows the site rules and has been mentioning May 1st a lot of times, there should be a reason or precedent he's seen. If the whole 1st goes by and there's still no tag then I'll join the anti-mods riots.

Ok I have been reading the Discord server for a while today and I found some interesting details that, in good faith, can explain why all this process is been a mess for 3 years. I hope this could help the public here to understand the situation of the development of this infamous Tech Update and have other comments about this subject other than "DC is a scammer" or "the team is a bunch of lazy people", that to be honest have become quite boring and repetitive.

This is from user Fabby on Discord:

Thank you for bringing something new here.
So, in addition to other problems, the coder isn't only unprofessional / lazy whatever, but also aggressive and toxic? I would call it classic to be honest, I think he should be paid more.
But this information doesn't really change anything.

To be clear, Dogeek was the former coder, he was fired years ago for this behavior.

There's no way this guy is going to also update character arts. If recoding a fucking 2d porn game is taking years redrawing most female characters is getting finished in the next decade, doesnt matter though, most dudes will keep stroking their dicks for the same shit for 10 years

I don't think the gravy train is crumbling, a year ago they had 26k Patreons, they currently have just under 30k. Maybe someone on the team grew tired of being lazy?

Reuploading this, but you are sadly right.

Basically, the game has made more money in these last 3 years than it ever did before. So the game made more money while we didn't get a single update. It's sickening.

while Debbie remained with mix match art. I REALLY hope it will be her whole story to include pregnancy, but I won't hold my breath for that.

If I can't get Diane pregnant (WITH PREG SEX INCLUDED), I'll kick this game away.

But with AI, technically you can make SummerTimeSagaAtHome :KEK:

I feel like people overestimate the influence this thread has on the game. It helped a lot earlier on, but even if the mods for some reason decided to remove the game from this forum I don't think it would affect him that much. But yea by deciding to release an update now, he is definitely not beating the milking allegations :KEK:

lets think for a moment, DCs business model is patreon. Would people start canceling their patreons for Summertime Saga at masses just because F95 put abandoned tag? When they can see he works on the game every day on his streams, and put news on his discord etc. I really dont think so.

either you lads are huffing some very high grade copium, are shilling for DC or y'all severely underestimate f95zone,

this website is no longer a simple gooner forum, hasn't been for years now, it's consolidating its place as the main western hub for porn games.

there are wayyy better websites out there but f95zone is on the podium, like it or not it won't change. if you can't understand what it implies well do a 360 and walk away.

Also watching the damage control in this thread is hilarious, the script has now changed to just dogpile everything on the coder, poor darkcuckie dindu nuffin

To me, it sounds like the project was entirely fucked code-wise and would have necessitated a literal remaster of every single scene, asset and art in order to bring it up to date. This is not a few months worth of rewriting and recoding. That's literally years of remaking absolutely everything except some arts and backgrounds. Quests lines, trackers, UI's, interaction points, etc... You basically need to remake a game that got 4-5 years of contents updates in one go.

I don't believe DC actually knew what the hell he went into, considering all the drama with the ex coder. Something tells me it's one of those "Aight, we just need to clean-up a messy house, repaint it and we should be good to go!" except the house in question is a massive manor and was made by a bunch of monkeys and lived in by a horde of hoarders, with a few feets of garbage and detritus EVERYWHERE.

Which, to be fair, basically leads up to a very difficult decision;

1. Either backtrack the promises made for the Patreons and basically go "Yeah, that won't work" or "Guys, we need to basically remake the entire game from the ground up."

2. Keep the promise and try to fix the backend code and bring it up to date despite the hellstate of the programming and knowing it will take a MASSIVE amount of time.

They went with number 2. Which is okay on it's own. The problem was that they never addressed the state of the issues they had, never explained the scale of it and just went along the ride. Which is why after almost 3 years, we never got a meaningful update.

I fear that what i've been suspecting for a while is true sadly... They got too comfortable with the massive passive income they got by sitting around and doing the bare minimum. What's the point of actually working when you can't be held accountable for it anyway?
