Status update (August)!
Added 2023-08-26 01:50:28 +0000 UTC
To better help fans understand the ongoing development, monthly status updates are being posted here on Patreon (at the end of each month) with a listed summary of all the work that's been done for each department. It won't list every single small change, but at the very least show the broad strokes of what's currently being done. This will paint a clearer picture of the development progress and perhaps get a feeling of how close we are getting to a release each month. Hopefully this will make some of you feel at ease with some of the questions you've had.
That being said, here's the status update for this past month!
Art:
- Various Diane character overlays fixed.
- Two existing cutscenes have been reworked and improved (now also used as wallpapers).
- New TV channel with 6 pro wresting scenes (Pink Cyclone VS Toxic Terror).
- Jenny visiting Anon at night in his bed now has a new variant (slap!) with new art assets.
- Old anon body assets converted to the new art rig (body stretch, etc).
- Extra Anon arm variants for when he's in underwear.
- New Anon faces (4).
- New Veronica arm asset.
- Multiple assets renames to function with new codebase.
- Continued assisting the Code/Posing devs with optimizing art and fixing inconsistencies. Such as unused art assets , missing shadows, missing character button variants and so on.

- Daily live streams for art won't be happening this coming week but will resume the following week. They will be active as usual (week days) starting around 2:00PM Eastern Time (ET) where you can watch me work and ask questions.
Code:
- Wired in Jenny's night-time repeatable bed events.
- Wrote logic to allow Jenny's camshows to be repeated.
- Implemented the logic to underpin the TV's Pink channel repeatable scenes.

- Relaxed the definition of a flow to allow any entity to act as one.
- Prevented use of incorrect container close up when viewing inventory.

- Undertook a boatload of housekeeping to ensure speed and consistency going forward.
- Allowed more than one event to attached at once.
- Revisited post-shower clean up, and consolidated it for all NPCs.
- Fixed a latent bug in reservation checking that could result in soft-locks.
- Updated various bits of internal documentation for quick-referencing quests.
- Resolved numerous timing inconsistencies in Jenny's route.
- Made her laptop interactable when snooping in Jenny's room.
- Fixed some navigation issues in a Debbie repeatable event.

- Verify and request art corrections and issues with missing art. This includes Anon, Daisy, Diane, Harold, Mia, Missy, and Roxxy, and related shots, cutscenes, and prop issues.
- Identify art issues that need special handling in posing; including Angelica, Aqua, Crystal, Helen, Ivy, Jenny, Melody Dewitt, Mia, and Tori Okita.
- Add staging for Main story part one dialogues, and fix structure issues to permit reposing.
Writing:
- Currently assisting Code with re-wiring story flow.
- Few Jenny dialogue additions and padding around existing content.

Why haven't you packaged up the screen expansion and some of the story line updates into a smaller update then release the other story updates as they come online?
Edward Elliott

Yeah I’m out. This is taking way too long, 1 year for any new update is pathetic.
2023-09-20 06:47:04 +0000 UTC
I don't know about you guys, I have sadly cancelled my subscription, iit's been almost a year since we got the last secret mini update. and that stupid progression bar that always stays on 82 percent. If I felt like my money sped up any process I'd have gladly kept my subscription. but it feels like nothing happens. maybe stopping subscription will speed up stuff?
2023-09-19 19:09:29 +0000 UTC
I’m still a fan of Summertime Saga. There’s a lot of potential in this game and lot of people loved it. I cannot wait for the upcoming Status update for September.

Lot of crybabies about the game here. They think own the rights to the game. Which they don't. The game is FREE, y'all. If you don't like it, then find another game to play,Just STFU about it. I'm tired of whinners. They're really causing me a headache every time I come to check.

I still don’t understand why so much people still whine « Huh… the guy gets so much money, and yet no progress so far!!! I want my tech updaaaaate! I’m enough dropping 1$ a month.. it’s so much when I’m only making 5k$ a month fapping in front of my computer… ». Guys it just a game. Most of us play for free. That’s probably not the developers main job and I’m sure they are doing it on their free time ! So f* off

why aren't people banding together and forcing the update? we should all just cancel or pause our monthly payments, give them a reason to no longer take their time. we're basically just paying their income and for their life. they have the equipment to do the job so the only real expense is their time.

I guess not? Still, I know it's a game. But at least, one can be honorable. But it's also a game where I can do whatever I want. REAL LIFE IS NO JOKE. If one is an idiot and fucked so many women, that he got so many alimony. There was a case in the US, where a black man fucked so many women, that he got them pregnant and he got so many alimonies. When I read that he asked the court to not force him pay so many alimonies. When I read that, I lost my respect for this idiot black man. I was, maybe you should've kept it in your pants, and you wouldn't get so much alimonies to pay for. Because now he's fucked. This is why I play Summertime Saga. Because I can do anything i want with no consequences. But in real life? oh shit. Real life is no joke. There's karma and consequences.

i’m liking all the new additions DC! biker bar, missy’s house, museum, lighthouse, etc. especially cool considering we get more interaction with characters (new and old). sounds like the coach interaction is going to kick in along with the improvements (art and otherwise) to all the characters. keep up the great work! thanks for sharing on the streams, its good to hear you planning and talking out details for future updates.
Skeeta_bite
2023-09-09 16:57:49 +0000 UTC
The question is not especially the details of the areas but the interest to do them now while it is even area will be used in 5 or 6 days ago. because there is no scene attached to it at the moment. it would be a shame to lower the quality of the areas. It would really be necessary to concentrate on updating existing content and only that.
sam
2023-09-09 07:33:30 +0000 UTC
Man I love what you’re doing and keep it up but honestly more scenes and less interior details and tbh it the scenes we are more anticipated for but good work tho hopefully many scenes in this one 🙏
2023-09-09 02:14:57 +0000 UTC
please say the things that are wrong then! i'd really like to know as i feel the same way as OP
2023-09-08 09:38:18 +0000 UTC
In addition I do not see the interest to add all the interior of a house and other buildings or there will be nothing to do once the technical update out. ok it is well we little visited. but zero interet in game at the time of the technical update same thing for the bar ... if it is added the building has the map why not after when a update or there will be content in this place it will still be time to work on it
sam
2023-09-08 09:05:13 +0000 UTC
I am almost sure that in fact the update is already ready for a long time but that it holds it to earn more money like many creator but I still wonder how many years will pass before they are satisfied
sam
2023-09-08 08:59:19 +0000 UTC
Will it come out at all this year?

1$ is not a big deal however it does start to add up esp since his game isnt anything crazy and he makes way too much to not be making constant ground for content

Well it feels like Dark Cookie is okay doing whatever he wants because he is making so much bank 🏦 from this game, he doesn't feel as inclined to finish it. That or he & his team is already brain 🧠 storming a new idea for a new game?
Chris Wreker
2023-09-06 22:22:56 +0000 UTC
Roxy did see the MC more than just a dumb nerd 🤓 and not to mention she was pretty astonished by his big d. With Becca though, i guess in some ways it was weird with her as she was okay with the MC zoinking her mom.
Chris Wreker
2023-09-06 22:20:20 +0000 UTC
Would that really matter though?
Chris Wreker
2023-09-06 22:17:16 +0000 UTC
small wonder really, it might be 1$ but add 1$ here 1$ there, i'm a patreon of 20+ creators and im not earning in dollars either, so inned to take account of conversion rates + tax for each pledge. At least from most of creators im getting smth back on regular basis. Some of us here are really long time patreaons too so you know, understanding is one thing but there is also the issue of trasparency and communication
Radoslav
2023-09-06 11:55:28 +0000 UTC
True. And she wants to have MC's babies, when Roxy and Becca didn't care for him (up until Roxy and Becca have sex with him on separate occasions, and it was so weird).
WitchHunter1750
2023-09-06 05:34:19 +0000 UTC
I mean, you can have sex or have anal with Mia in the end. But Mia really, really prefer anal. Because she wants to keep her virginity.
WitchHunter1750
2023-09-06 05:31:58 +0000 UTC
The facts here still remain the same!
-We have not had an update in a year
-The Teach update is closing in on 4 years now since it's announcement
-We have no estimation date or projected deadline
-Teach update was introduced as a 3 month process
-They have been getting +$60k each month with nothing to show for it
-oh and they have 9 people working on the Teach Update!
We all should understand what is happening since it has been happening for so long that it makes it obvious. We should have gotten the Teach Update long ago and at this point it's just silly.
Wyper
2023-09-06 02:44:41 +0000 UTC
Yeah but she was nice to the MC in the beginning compare to Becca & Roxxy.
Chris Wreker
2023-09-06 02:05:46 +0000 UTC
Well that is...anticlimactic...?
Chris Wreker
2023-09-06 02:05:08 +0000 UTC
I have no idea. Yet they're friends with Roxy? Missy, Roxy and the freckle bitch I can't remember, are apparently a team.
WitchHunter1750
2023-09-06 01:55:44 +0000 UTC
Actually, when I was doing Mia's update last time, I felt her ending (after I got Mia's mother back together with her husband) was left on a cliff hanger. I felt there's more to it with her relationship with MC. But that was all the story there was in the Mia's update.
WitchHunter1750

Chris Wreker
2023-09-06 00:12:09 +0000 UTC
pretty sick how we haven't had a new build in a half year now right! keep thinking it's just $1,- but this is getting annoying man, you're getting thousands of dollars per month and all we've been getting for the past half year is updates on what you're supposedly doing. start coming out with some real stuff.
2023-09-05 19:11:29 +0000 UTC
Glad Missy is getting more focus.
Chris Wreker
2023-09-05 18:01:29 +0000 UTC
We definitely need more Mia her story still feels so unresolved.
Chris Wreker
2023-09-05 17:53:52 +0000 UTC
Once Judith's Update is finished and gets released, I would like a couple of new updates: Debbie's Update, Erik's Update, and Mia's Update. Or Roxy's update (with her friends, and her own mother too). There's so much potential with this game!
WitchHunter1750
2023-09-05 03:11:08 +0000 UTC
If after Judith's update, I hope we can have a Mia's update, because Yumi, the asian police officer should be with MC. That is, if Mia's mother has rekindled her relationship with her ex-husband Harry, MIa's father, (Or Henry? I don't remember). If this is the case, then MC should get with Yumi. I actually wanted some sexy police action with MC.
WitchHunter1750
2023-09-05 03:04:56 +0000 UTC
I can't wait for TECH UPDATE! But really, I'm excited for what's after TECH UPDATES. Ronda, Annie and Judith is still needing a new story update! One of my favorite character is Debbie. Now, Debbie really needs a new update rework. I talked to DC, and he agrees that Debbies needs a pregnancy update! I have other favorite characters, like Iwanka and Oddette. Right now, MC is friends with Oddette and can get her pregnant.

2023-09-05 01:19:52 +0000 UTC
they do best they can think in other way when all this update done, new updates will be more smoothly and easier for future lets be abit more patience and keep our belief, this is still the best game

I really enjoy the game, wish there was a way to keep an accurate track of who you have kids with and how many you have with them, but that's neither here nor there. I will say this though, this game has inspired a bunch of clones and in the time it has taken to build this update, the wait has allowed a bunch of others to come in and grow in Summertime Saga's place. Still, I really have enjoyed my time with this game and the community.

this was in the april 28 update. sounds like when the tech update comes out, a lot of new places will open up. possibly some new interactions with new characters. : The biker bar will be open to visit in the tech update with potential minor dialogues. It will then be used intensively down the development road when we populate it with more content.
More added locations should have interiors finished for the tech update: Lighthouse, Rhonda's house, Judith's house, Missy's house, Stadium, Bowling & Arcade, Museum, Woods Cabin, etc.
I will be improving and adding new content for the tech update these coming weeks as well (with added wallpaper shots).

I know you guys are just trying to give us the best product possible. But it's literally been years that you have been working on this update and nearly a year since your last pre-tech update. Yet we don't even have a release window let alone a date. I want to pledge more money, but I don't see the point.
Summer Dixon
2023-08-31 19:01:23 +0000 UTC
this is from DC’s May 29 update in first paragraph. : The progress bar is not currently displaying an accurate progression of the work being done due to the nature of the Tech Update requiring a heavy amount of back and forth with content implementation (and testing). It makes it hard to "close" tasks until the update is stable and ready to ship. It also explains why art tasks were faster and simpler to close, while Posing and Code seem to trail behind. The majority of the art meant for the Tech Update is completed, yes. However I'm still improving and adding content while the remaining Code/Posing work gets wrapped up. The progress bar will be more reliable once we get back to the regular development cycle for stories and gameplay. Hopefully this will help.
Skeeta_bite
2023-08-31 17:32:06 +0000 UTC
If it happens that somehow new content appears I would really like to see some more of Iwanka. I feel like there should be more about this girl or aren't there any fans of her out there?

The quicker The amount of Money they get from subsections goes down, the quicker they will push out the tech update. For the past almost 4 years they have been getting ridiculous amounts of money monthly without giving us anything in return that is worthy of the time and money given to them. Now everyone Can make this all change very quickly if we all just come together and lower our subscriptions down to Just $1 Dollar a month as that should be equivalent for the wallpapers they love to roll out instead of the teach update each damn month. We all want this to come out as soon as possible and this is the only way to get what we are all owed!

Cookie and team are chasing a dream. Yes it's a porn game and the fappability is waneing like a hardon after one too many rounds in a day. But .. I mean if you look at what bg3 did with publishing when it was ready... maybe this will be the baulders gate 3 of porn games?

well blaqueOK, there is a reason it's getting old, it's because it's been so long since any actual update other than pictures, this is not a summertime saga issue, this happens everywhere, when people are exited and actively expecting something to come out, be it a movie, tv show or a game, any delay and lack of progress is stressful and prone to questioning, people have a right to lose interest in something that has had no real progress in years, if you are still giving them the benefit of the doubt that's fine, i'll keep the 1dll pledge as pretty much charity since i can, but i'm under no illusion that the game will ever come out, based on the evidence that is, to each their own i guess.

I've been working as a freelance editor for a US based company for 5 years... fuck off, it's not that complicated to find people that wants to work, have technical knowhow and "know the language" like english is this fucking lost language or something, the devs just don't mind taking a month to make 3-5 pictures and continue charging the patreon subscribers
which it's fine, a shitty thing to do, but legal and in their right if they choose to do so, as is in the paying supporters right to stop payment or ask questions, calling yourself a "true follower" will not give you special powers or the dev's appreciation, it's pretty obvious they don't read these XD
also, "true follower" sounds cultish... are you that sad and alone that you need to adhere your self-esteem to a fantasy that by defending someone online you'll be rewarded? just take it as it is, I know I'm wasting my money and don't expect the game coming out, it's more charity than a pledge at this point, when I can't afford to burn that income anymore I'll unsubscribe, that's it XD

the wait is genuinely astonishing. Bootlickers who say "give it more time" are so blind it's not even funny. This multi-year long wait was not included nor described in the poll that voters chose the tech update on. This is disgusting treatment of your fans. Do better and hire more people to build this with your pile of ill gotten patreon money.

You’re making $62,974 per month from patreon. Maybe you should look into hiring a few more programmers. Even in the US that would cover it, but internationally that would easily cover an entire team. Average compensation in Indonesia is 19m IDR ($1245) per month. India? 75k INR ($907). Philippines? Not even average, but 90th percentile is 42k PHP ($740).
You could take half of your monthly patreon fees and have more than 40 coders working full time on this.

Your not entitled to anything and if the creator isn't meeting your standards, you have every right to pull your support. But Damn, this shit is getting old....every month there's one of you dildos bitching on the update, if things haven't changed, why the fuck are you still supporting him and calling people who do, "Retarded Simps" At this point the only "retarded simp" is yourself. lol.

The monthly updates are a welcome input.
However, we're here to support the developement. We do not pay you for a finished game, that's the whole point of this patreon. So just give us monthly releases. They can have bugs, they may even crash. But that's what we are here for. There is no no reason to delay it any further.

Without a reference point, the status update is useless. If DC says "We got 150 things done this month," and has 150 to go, great, but if he has 10,000 more, then it's nothing. We need a percentage, a number, a ratio, or hell, maybe a completion date.

2023-08-26 17:17:30 +0000 UTC
Ahhe Another month where we payed for DarkCookie's mortgage, I wouldn't be surprised if the house looked exactly like Missy's. The only reason this update needs more time like you keep saying is because you obviously need more time to make more money. Now that would not matter if you have only been releasing regular updates like you should be doing as the people here are paying for more than statues updates and wallpapers that we will be soon getting again next month.
We are now closing in on one year without a single content update whatsoever. Darkcuntie does not even take the time to look or even read a glimpse of the comments left by the people supporting his game which they helped bring to life, Which might sound "shocking" to a lot of you here backing this type of behavior up which only hurts the fans as Darkcunt only values the money here just as much as anyone else who's getting pumped 70k at some point.
To all the cunts here that can't stop doing tricks on it while paying for it as well, You are the problem here as the only reason Datrkcuntie feel's like he can get away with this for as long as he likes while not losing any money is because of stupid cunts like you who keep on paying for absolutely nothing but to swallow for Darkcuntie since he is not here to face any of this whatsoever, hiding behind a soundproof, seeproof wall of money.

My brother in christ you guys are being scammed, I wouldn't have a problem if DC paused payments but he doesn't, back when patreon showed how .uch the creator was making a month DC was pulling upwards of 70k......70k a MONTH since then if I can even remember that far back he has had like 2 big content updates. I have literally supported the start and finishes of multiple different VN porn games in that time frame, and they have a 10th of the budget and workforce if they are lucky and they are still better games than this. The only thing this game has going for it is the animation, I beg all of you stop wasting your money on this, move on cause it is never gonna be finished. Jesus christ there are full fledged AAA video games that have taken less time to develop, this is just an update....A SINGLE UPDATE

It's due to how the posing system works.
To save file space, every character functions like a Mr. Potato head, where you have the body, and then you can attach different arms, faces, etc. So if a character picks up an item or makes a hand gesture, that then requires a new set of arms to be drawn.

Have you ever read Animal Farm?
"On Sunday mornings Squealer, holding down a long strip of paper with his trotter, would read out to them lists of figures proving that the production of every class of foodstuff had increased by two hundred per cent, three hundred per cent, or five hundred per cent, as the case might be. The animals saw no reason to disbelieve him, especially as they could no longer remember very clearly what conditions had been like before the Rebellion. All the same, there were days when they felt that they would sooner have had less figures and more food."
These could be lists of changes that have been made over the 2.5 years they've been working on the Tech Update, spread out to fill their monthly updates. Or it could all just be bullshit, and since we aren't receiving incremental updates, we have no way to verify actual progress.

Just waiting for my sub to expire.
You can continue to get milked if you want, but you're only encouraging poor behavior by rewarding it. What incentive does DC have to push an update when they're making money hand over fist for nothing? I would do it too, until people caught on and started leaving.
We're at that crossroads right now. If you want to actually support the game and its progress, you should cancel your sub until DC pushes an update. And frankly you should only sub for months where there's an update going forward. I've certainly paid for this game and then some via my sub.
March '21 was the last major update. 2.5 years of nothing substantial. Even at $1 tier, that's $30 for some extra scenes. You can buy multiple fully realized porn games on steam at that price. Hell you could get multiple gaming classics on sale for that amount of money. And we're just supposed to pretend everything's fine?
I'll be back when there's a reason to be back.

Since It's "let bro cook" like as if Bro hasn't been cooking for so long he done made us starve, Like at this point just serve us an appetizer since the main dish is taking so Goodman long

thats exactly what I was asking myself
2023-08-26 02:25:57 +0000 UTC
So, is this all for the upcoming tech update, or should I reinstall the game now? I already have version 20.16 installed.

But at least we know a lot of work is actually being put into this unlike some people claim. Hoping that maybe they can just add some features and scenes as a Xmas present for us

The angle the human body is in when shown in a photo or drawing. Their pose, or position. Changing their pose is called posing.
