0.20 bug fixing!

We're been bug fixing the upcoming update for a stable release and it should be ready soon. I know a lot of you have been messaging me about a release date and are excited to play the new content. All the content is implemented, we simply are making sure it's a stable build before releasing

In the meantime, here's some new characters, existing characters with updated art and existing characters in different outfits!

Make sure to check out the daily live streams where I work on the next update art content:

0.20 bug fixing!

Comments

Or maybe Dewitt, Rhonda, and her mom 😍😍😍

Andrew McDaniels

Awsome

Hope Rhondas mom gets a scene

jacob

I would have opted for the Yakuza. But since the Mayor in the game is an obvious parody of Trump, who was investigated for 'possible' ties with Russian oligarchs and mafia is probably why he used them. But I get what you are saying.

Gray Metal Fox

Maxim. I feel your pain. I think the Klingons, cardassians, Borg and Romulans are all just misunderstood too.

Skeeta_bite

why russians everytime are bad characters?

I havent even seen rhondas mom in game yet is she implemented

Conor Reynolds

Love Rhondas Mom - she should spank a few girls ;-)

Those damn Generic Mobsters are pissing me off! Grrrr...

I mean that's just not safe....

SShepard

sou um contribuinte no patreon o que deveria me dar o direito de fazer o download da atualização porem não consigo acesso ao linq, como que funciona afinal.

good evening! I pay every month so when new versions of the game come out I can download them fast but I'm not able to do it if I continue like this I will cancel my subscription ok

downloading.......... 912MB

Unname

And now we wait

Tomasz

omg omg its going to be so much worth the wait!

Alrighty...@ 100%.. Deleting the old version now. Haha

Tasty

it's happening

vall

143 :o !!! Thats 1 month that i spot everyday morning and night maybe tonight that been possible to play the new saga ^^ thank you custumer the Québec is waiting ahah 🤠

Anime

I’m hopeful that we can download and play this in the next 24 hours. :)

Matt

._.

vall

I hope thats coming out today do you think thats possible ?

Get ready for release everyone

Bob Sagget

Kiki I'm just stirring the pot. I myself love the 2nd.grade bickering. Haha.

Rick stanaway

Sorry didn't see someone already said it

Peter Jensen

142 out of 145 bugs fixed

Peter Jensen

Man I'm really looking forward to this update

Peter Jensen

142 out of 145 so 3 left

Peter Jensen

142 bugs fixed out of 145 so only 3 left. Vast majority of bugs have been resolved today... Guys, it seems that we'll have .20 tomorrow :)

pilousek

Patience is the key😉

Its not a countdown dude😂

Rick stanaway

141/145. Will Maria be getting it tonight!? Haha

Tasty

Down 2 5 now on the news page

Rick stanaway

kkkkkkkkkkkk tem brasileiro até aqui pqp

Les Perdants

tive até que pagar por causa do vt tá com abstinência

bora logo não aguento mais

Anyone can tell me the features that were added in 19.5 i never played that update cause am saving myself for 20.0

Patreon one shows the date of 04-25

I'm confused, on the website there are shown 139/149 bugs fixed in the update status and on patreon there are shown 139/169 bugs fixed in the update status? which is correct?

KrusteDE

Guys, maybe even earlier... only 10 bugs left now.

pilousek

12 bugs left. I also see it for 1 week at max (more like couple of days)

pilousek

The update could at max take 1 week of 3 days... Because the of the bug fix rate

I do get concerned that the bug count might increase as they fix bugs though, so I don’t really bug fixes as they decrease. The wait Is rather torturous though. So close, yet so far... oh, and is anybody else hoping to see something sexy done with the librarian?

Matt

130 bugs fixed out of 146 so 16 left

pilousek

It shows exactly how many bugs left currently

Peter Jensen

128 bugs fixed out of 145 so 17 left

Peter Jensen

TBH, I love this game. The long wait time can be torturous, but I’ve found it to be generally acceptable. Certainly acceptable enough to donate a little bit each month. If I’m dying to get my rocks off, I can always replay, or visit a porn site. Mind you, I am really hoping for a gloryhole sex update with Cassie/Olivia. And I actually hope there will one day be an option of having sex with the red headed sex worker without a condom too. :D

Matt

Wait can you prove factually that all his funding is going to family and that his only source of income is this Patreon exclusively? Can you really say that with straight face because I’ve seen a group of 2 do more with less while holding down their own in this situation. I severely doubt this is his only source of income. You’d really have to provide sims sources. If this is his only source of income then technically it means it’s his job. Patreon isn’t just a give a donation foundation anymore. It’s a business platform and many peoples jobs to create consistent content on it. A donation and a subscription service are very different and Patreon is clearly a sub service, it’s the new kick starter now for most creators and should be treated as such

The Destiny

Yeah, soon. Soon means 2 months

Well let's see 4 months of waiting for an update hmm I wonder why people are getting impatient 🤔

Clearly some people weren’t taught patience, your parents must’ve given you everything you wanted when you wanted it!! SAD

Dwreck

"cough" A DOLLAR... "cough". Its called a tip been doing that seems I started to donate long time ago. way before I even got a job it's not that hard.

MadxWorld

At least DC isn't charging $10 just to access his game, nor does he go silent for 2 months just to reappear and say he was burned out and have zero updates on the game like another creator I know.

SuchaRiot

Pretty sure she's based off actress Christina Hendricks. Looking at her clothes I'd assume a bank manager or some kind of business woman in game.

Carlton Banks

I think a lot of frustration comes from the ~8 year timer on how long this game will take to develop. I'm a huge fan, but that's just too ambitious of a project. I've been a supporter for years. I can't support this game from age 21-29. IMO that's really the only valid excuse anyone can make for being upset. There is no correlation between money earned and amount of work produced. I'm sure everyone would like DC to have a set $50,000/year salary and just constantly upgrade the equipment and team working around him.. but that's not the way the world works. This is what he's doing for a living. He has to put his family first. The work is consistent. Just because the money intake increases doesn't mean he should fix what isn't broken. DC is paid with donations. DC is not contractually obligated to do anything. This is his project. His rules. He could scrap it tomorrow and it is what it is. In short I am bummed out, but I also recognize DC isn't guilty of any crime. Of course, everyone is entitled to an opinion, as negative or positive as it may be.

Carlton Banks

Thats what I wanna know ;) I mean I know who she's clearly modelled after but in this context WHO is she?

Almarc86

Really? I heard venting angry thoughts on the internet is quite therapeutic. Or does making dumb statements like yours improve wellbeing? Cowabunga dude🤙🤙🤙

Bumbuman

There is a trap option during "her" romance path best to save on the option before the panties come off

Jiro02Henshin

How about this then? The creator is doing a piss poor job with the time and funding from the Patreon that he receives. This either means that the project is being run poorly and incompetently, or he’s doing a Star Citizen - milking a deluded fanbase too stupid to know any better. With all the feature creep, and wasting time redoing the art design when you only have 1 artist, some of which are clearly worse than the old designs, it’s definitely just milking. Btw, phrases like “grow up” and “you’re acting entitled” aren’t valid arguments. Maybe think about what I wrote and then get back to me.

Bumbuman

I have a dumb question. How come Eve sometimes looks like she has a boner when I talk to her in her room? Just curious? I wasn't aware of any futanari parts in this game.

Jeremy Scott Duffer

Will Sara be available for sex in a future update?

Dwreck

Cassie is renamed because to avoid confusion with another character named Kassy.

WitchHunter1750

The amount of negativity here is staggering. No one here has any right to complain about how long and update takes. If you think you do, you really dont understand how patreon works. Grow up people.

Guys just chill out, Man the amount of hate in this comment section.....man thats really bad lets try to understand eachother and make peace!

They are always angry and hurt. There is nothing you can do against parasite people.

Noduolc

Soon™

Vile Bastage

Nice that it will be soon ;))

Darkcookie mate, your fans are angry/hurt. I think it would be wise to address this

Imagine Missy sounding like Snooki. Or Principal Smith sounding like Salma Hayek.

Gamesman01

"they'll never understand American thinking" , thinking like, we elect a crazy person who speaks well to our president. Who could now even cost us our lives? well then i dont wanna understand your way of thinking.

cg

now the time is delayed again for weeks to allegedly eliminate problems. How big should this update be ..1Gb or 2Gb ?? I am really curious about what we will ultimately be offered for this long development period

I thought it would be release at least on the 1st of may but no!

why is Cassie renamed? did I miss something?

Sousou Gnom

soon is like 2 months for this cunt, fucking joke

MR20B

There will be a Hotfix anyway, so why not just send it?

I've been saying similar stuff for awhile now, at the very least we should be seeing regular updates every two months. Like playable updates. Its been six months since the last major content update, they sound like their gonna drop 2.0 here soon, so quite a huge gap. Not to mention 2.0, while large, is being divided into two parts that wont drop at the same time. I keep telling people to role back to minimum payments till releases. You got people like Vren dropping updates every two months and hes doing it solo for his game. (I will saying he is using Cg though so its a little easier to work with) Basically, if they could get a more consistent update time for the game I would ship the game so fucking hard.

Kyuuzo2

His post was from April 30th. New billing on May 1st, on time. Evilly speaking, you make a post so that people continue to pay because the update is now expected.

cg

who is the girl name Hendricks? I never heard of her before

Don't pretend you are working at full capacity earning $60K+ a month, and putting out what that is actually worth. However, if you were up front with your community and let them know what is going on for real...? Who am I kidding, he would make a shit ton less., who would do that? I particularly enjoy reading "I also am in game development, and know what it takes..,blah, blah, blah..." Have you ever been part of game "studio" (I use that term loosely), and spent $300K over 5 months, only to be ok with only having a .1 added to your version?

Figuratively not Literally

If he was going to release anytime soon he wouldn't have made this post.

vall

Here is the problem... He had a baby/Covid-19/blah , blah blah... None of these creators are stepping up saying... "Listen this update is going to take a lot longer. I will release a small version update sooner (3-4 months), or you will have to wait a while to get the big update you deserve." They are not working at full capacity but don't want to tell you because they don't want to lose your patreonage. So we are stuck waiting for a single version update after nearly 5 months, but everyone sticks around for it, because... What is your other option? I just wish the creators were more up front.

Figuratively not Literally

give us a release date

Come on

Why does he spend so much time on background character art for already existing locations? It’s like polishing and waxing a door knob - what a waste of time, especially when there’s only 1 artist. Sound effects, music, animation and so many other things could be improved.

Bumbuman

DC is gonna lose so many supporters if this update doesn't deliver. He has already lost almost $5000 since he posted saying he was bug testing (which is a load of shit) I programmed multiple games in Java and I could have a list of over 100 bugs and still get them completely handled in 24 hours, maybe longer if I was having difficulties yet this idiot takes over 6 months to release HALF of an update and then says he needs to bug test which renpy is an absolute joke platform to code which is disgusting it takes them that long to fix bugs. Literally milking all of his supporters which most of them deserve because they are on DC's side thinking its perfectly normal or he is doing his best. Ignorance at its best.

Bob Sagget

Early access 0.20?

*arthur fist* 👊

Andromeda

That'll be in Ronda's update, I think.

WitchHunter1750

Who is hendicks?

Any clue on when is the update 0.20 coming :'(

Who want to see the gym teacher Bridget to have a storyline finished? She doesn't have a story yet. It would be interesting if all teachers have pregnancies.

WitchHunter1750

Gotta bang 'em all!

Gamesman01

just some parts need sound, if you include voice in all game this one will lose the imagination that you could imagine, like this fpr example think that all this time you imagine the trixie voice and adding voice guess what is not at all like you expect obviously we wont stop to play it for that but could be annoy in my opinion.

If that comes we'll get an update only yearly once :|

Who else thinks Voice acting should be included in the game? I think it'll be great idea. Some games have voice acting. So I think Voice Acting could be fun.

WitchHunter1750

Hopefully the update comes out soon I've got nothing to do til my ankle heals.

Adam L Egnor

Yeah.

Nadav Lugassy

Thank you for all the hard work you do in this game. As a game dev, I understand how long it takes to make games, especially with a small team. But I have been a fan for a very long time and cant wait for the next update. Keep at it team!

Kaimei

Agreed

Raffovic

Are we going to be able to have sex with maria?

you should slowly give the community that finances you an official published date

I really want to play this game, i would even buy it if it gives me the option but it has get updates at least in 2 month time period not a 6 month time period!

Please this weekend, Maria is calling to me! Haha

Tasty

Dark Cookie should have broken this project up into four or five separate games. He does GREAT Work, but his FOCUS is frustrating.

Tim Brown

There is a shit load of story and h-scenes connected to the new characters, but also to some already existing characters

Starless Sky

Can't wait to impregnate Cassie... I mean Olivia.

Sarut Saiklangdee

Can you give an example about a game that is produced in aproximately one year?

Domestos2013

Will it have a Spanish language too?

Roughly 5 months later, approx. $300,000 later. All for a small half update (so we do t have to wait long). the latest poll suggests patreon followers don't want wide screen yet after the results you still plan on making widescreen version soon. All for money... finishing the second half of version 20 update by December? A full year and over a half million in profits.... to get an appartment and a few hardcore scenes. Entire games are produced in that time frame. Its clearly about the profits. If you cared about your followers, you would hire more workers!!

Is this gonna be a very big update?

in how many days?

By definition “SOON” Soon suggests a reasonably short time frame. Interestingly, soon could refer to practically any time unit: minutes, hours, days, months, years, decades, centuries or even a millennium. It commits to something happening in time but the time could be very unclear or unspecific...

47

I'm curious how big it will be and how many hours of play it offers. now we have the month of may and errors are still being worked on

Still hoping to actually use her teddy bear with the webcam as teasered Interested where the 3rd can goes to though

Any reason why the patreon main page isnt working for summertime? redirects to posts

Bob Sagget

I wonder if by improving Dexter they made his Dick even smaller 😂

GamerLegend09

thanks for the news 😊

Anyways a hell of a job DC and the devs. Can't wait to play this next update. Keep up the good work :)

Aaron Wilson

Is MIA going to get new/ better scenes eventually?

Dwreck

💯

Can't wait

Tomasz

You really don't recognize her? It's based on actress Christina Hendricks. You might recognize her from Mad Men, as well.

WitchHunter1750

It will be somewhat of a big update. We still need to wait for update 0.20.5, while we get the upcoming update 0.20. Combine the two it will be a massive update.

WitchHunter1750

Bro, probably not in this update. Shel'll be able to do that in couple of update later. Maybe in 0.23?

WitchHunter1750

Cant wait

Austin Yang

I hope it will be a bigger update than it appears ... I would not have waited 5 months for 1 or 2 hours of gameplay with few h-scenes

Eduardo Vraunagre

finally the men the black suits might finally get more to do, and focus on the main story of how the 'dad' got involved with them in the first place

Nick Gabrielson

Really hope there’s more and this isn’t it considering The months we’ve waited

Fingers crossed that my girl Judith will finally get hammered by MC's huge rod, and have an eye-rolling orgasm...…….

Biff Edwards

Same here. Odette and Grace are bae

Id love if there was more Graci and Odette

Richie Conpierce

thanks for the heads up keep up the great work

Alec Cross

idm waiting man. im just saving myself for that thicc italian pizza wife ever since i laid eyes on her.

Syahmi Haziq

I downloaded this on a whim and played. Man, the amount of work that went into this is staggering. I really had fun. I mean I played this game for nearly 3 days straight before I decided to be a responsible adult again. Kudos to you.

Hentai Agent

Most likely she will be reworked, in the upcoming main story update.

Syahmi Haziq

I feel as though Debbie should get reworked. She's such an important character yet her character model doesn't seem as refined as the others.

Remil Perez

yep. 0.20 is coming very soon.

WitchHunter1750

As anxious as I am to get this update, I rather wait to have your team catch as many bugs as possible. This means I won't have to keep downloading multiple patched versions after the initial release. The streams, improved artwork, and new characters have been great to watch you draw!

Gray Metal Fox

I really don't get these statements about getting paid. You can get the game for free. Guess haters gonna hate.

Blueberry

Delaying till the first so they get paid son.

Deathshadow

You mean like an alpha or beta build? They might not want to do that because it becomes a nightmare to filter out bug reports, and make sure everyone is on the latest version. Stuff behind the scenes could be getting updated every day. Imagine trying to get hundreds, maybe thousands, of people to all be on the latest prerelease build at all times.

BonertownUSA

You know upon release the community to gonna tear this apart and find a hundred different bugs anyway. Let them get to work on it now.

Haydes

Wait, does this mean we finally get to see what our character's dad's involvement with the mob is ?

The needham

I re-iterate my comment from the subreddit that Bissette's old face was better. In fact, the subreddit was pretty much unanimous on this: https://www.reddit.com/r/SummertimeSaga/comments/g6439o/redesign_of_miss_bissett_which_one_do_u_prefer/ Good work otherwise, though.

Asterion Del Toro

Characters are looking great! Looking forward to the release!

UnitedFang

Will Mia ever get any extra sex scenes/positions besides just the one she currently has? It be great if we could at least do her in a missionary position.

Strategist G Bu Shi

In this update we can already interact in all the sexual scenes with the new Debbie?

ohhhhhh can't wait for it

Russ Jester

... they have how many known bugs posted with the progress bars, are you actually upset that they want you to play a version that wont crash or corrupt your saves or lock you in locations. were you planning to unsub as soon as the new version was out or you just complaining for the sake of complaining. its not like they gave a release date and are missing it they have always said it'll be released when its ready.

I Neeeeeeeed it!

RHar

It’s Christina Hendricks, an actress on Mad Men

I am excited asf for this because of the story

Richie Conpierce

LOL, of course there are enough bugs to push release to the next patreon pay cycle... hmmm....

I gotta say, I know there is a lot of people chomping at the bit to play the most recent version (I am included), but thank you for putting out a quality product. I play other games in the meantime waiting for the most recent versions, but they only hit the spot for a short time.

Matthew Dohmeyer

Like what I'm seeing from this angle!.. Parden the pun!. Getter done!

Rick stanaway

I have no idea who Hendricks is in game... but I know who she's parody-ing, and I love love love her. Can't wait. I'm in IT as well, and understand the need to have a good release. But looking forward to it!

Andrek

Who is Hendricks?

Raffovic

take your time men

Sweet. Looking forward to play the new update.

Can't wait...! I'm guessing we'll have a save file with the rest completed about a week after?

PervMASTER

But you know nothing! 😂🤣

Daniel D.

Perfecto, vienen buenas cosas, apesar de esta cuarentena y este corona virus, ya vendrán buenas cosas.

CRACkNALES

Can't wait

Who is Hendricks?

Allen Lewis

Looking good DC

Celtic X

It comes out when its ready, i work in software, rushing a release is never a good idea. Keep up the great work!

😗😗😙😙 luv u dc

Vestolord

I don’t see how removing the characters arms are improvements. Jkjk but I’d like to see before and after shots if possible

Can't wait to see what comes next

cooo

SithLordMethos

I'd love to get a side by side comparison of the improved char artworks with the old.

ctsrty

Sorry folks but you'll have to wait till next month to play

Jon Snow

Oh wow! This is amazing, DK! Keep up the great work! :)

Blaze2095

hope is good , i can wait

martin nix

Looking forward to this!!

I can wait, I'd like a stable build Not the end of the world.

Comrad Glory

we are waiting with excitement

Awesome work as always my dude!

Take your time. It’s obvious that you’re working hard. Plenty of time to 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
