Forever. He wants to continuously add characters and stories.
If he was actually adding shit to the game I don't think the mood around here would be so dour. I took a look into the stream for the first time in a while and he's currently re-working Diane's art as it fits into Debbie's story, which would make this like the third or possibly fourth re-work that she's gotten during development.

He'll never stop remastering his game unless someone physically takes the tablet out of his hands. Once he's done with the tech update in like three years he'll go back to Jenny and start all over again since he'll have grown to hate her existing art. For everyone who bitches about executive interference in games, this is what you get without a publisher cracking the whip: an artist who'd rather endlessly refine his work to some abstract notion of perfection rather than release something into the wild.

Leonardo da Vinci spent over a decade working on the Mona Lisa, and the only thing that stopped him from further refinement was because his hand became paralyzed a couple years before his death. It technically remains unfinished and was never delivered to the person who commissioned it. Food for thought.

And there's a rumor saying there's a penis in Mona Lisa's portrait, hidden or unfinished, somewhere

Also if that's Before and After, it's worse.
Like Picasso's self portraits over time.

I wonder if in 10 years we'll have art that would be at home in 90's Microsoft Creative Writer with McZee...

by the time he finishes remaking this, the game will need another remake lol
You've just explained why every remastered-reworked AVN is a dead project that only benefits its Dev's pockets.

Been here since 2017 and I'll tell you guys that whenever a dev either:

- stops adding new content and starts reworking earlier chapters;

or

- starts talking about his/her/its/their personal issues / private life

the game is DOOMED.

Everytime.

Again: EVERYTIME.

Just be glad DC decided not to start another project. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he does start another project. After all once the well runs dry you have to dig another well.
Of course he has been doing more projects: you just don't know which they are.

Hopefully when the tech update is done (in like 10 years lol) all the art has been updated to the new style. I like that the game is in fullscreen now and that there's a few little extra scenes getting added in existing routes but it sucks how most of the quests and routes got taken out because of the revamp. I wish the tech update would have updated everything in one swoop but I guess the team is too busy grinding money. You know, I still love Summertime Saga and I believe it's still the gold standard for 2D erotic sandbox games but it's so frustrating how slowly the game progresses nowadays. Has anyone here been following the game from the beginning? If so, was the team this slow back in the early days too? I mean there is quite a lot of content in SS but it's also been out for like 9 years at this point so.

Does anyone know why email notices for thread updates are no longer working?
If you haven't already tried - go to watched threads page https://f95zone.to/watched/threads?unread=0
Checkmark this box:
1741273454406.png
Then disable email notification.
1741273503818.png
And click GO.

Then repeat, except this time enable email notification.
See if that clears up your problem.

Also, check your spam?
trying to play the wip version but all i get is a white screen crash on startup any solution to this?
What are you trying to play it on? Are all your drivers up to date? If it is a computer, are you using a recent OS? If you are trying to use mods, patches, packs - are you sure they are compatible with v21.0.0-wip.5605? If you are using mods, patches, packs - remove them all and try again. Does the game work?

If not, it might be a bad download --- delete the game and download directly from the developer for free at

Yes.
Yes (even if nostalgic players say otherwise).
