So in actual dev news Sploosh posted this the other day, it gives some idea of progress on Jenny's reposing. Most of the stuff he brings up as road blocks are either done or close to it, both the Diary and PC were listed as separate task from Jenny's re-wiring and have been closed. The flurry of activity in the "Changes over 24 hours" section of the dev tracker over the last week were for the TV and Peep hole.

The hell did they do to make the peep hole so goddamn complicated and why? I know DC added in a new shot for preggo Jenny, but otherwise it was "Jenny asleep", "Jenny masturbating", or "nothing", depending on the time of day. The same goes for the TV and the laptop, there wasn't much to do there because it was window dressing to provide a bit of amusement in the middle of their respective events. What possessed them to tie them into a new system so complex that they need to constantly find "creative solutions"? "Creative solutions" are what got them into this mess in the first place!

Far from future-proofing their code, I'm genuinely worried that they're building something so full of spaghetti bullshit that each new update is going to be even harder to incorporate. I'd be thrilled to be proven wrong, but the more they disclose about the dev progress the more it sounds like they're developing a Ferrari engine to drive a go-cart.

I guess the problem in general happens because they want to please those, who want to get as many girls as possible in one playthrough and as such don't want to block content and because they want to enable pregnancies for everybody. If they'd simply create mostly liniear storys (aka one playthrough per one main girl) without x dependencies on other stories and limit pregnancies to 2 or 3 girls, these problems likely would't exist.

Removing choices and connecting stories was a bad deciscion from the get go (actually my reason why I stopped being a patron years ago) and now it seems to haunt them again.

Then again, as long as DC is drawing stuff in the meantime, it ultimately doesn't matter that much.

The fact they are choosing to insert "creative solutions" in a tech update that was supposed to iron out all the previous creative solutions that had turned the code into spaghetti implies that they have learned nothing.

Alright so I'm not crazy right? I remember some event where you spy on a neighbor with someone (Erik?) and their mom invites you upstairs to the bathroom (her name was like Mrs White or something and looked like a pornstar). That was a thing right before right? I looked through changelogs but couldn't find any mention of it. If anyone knows, can you refresh me on the event and if it still exists?

This game used to have black bars. When I tried it previously. I think it was a resolution issue. Can anyone who played the latest version tell me if that thing is fixed or if it's still there?

The black bars you are talking about are visible if you are playing it full screen on a modern 16:9 / 16:10 monitor because the art was made using the standard 4:3 display ratio that was default for Ren'Py years ago when Summertime Saga was first made. Or if you are playing on a mobile device.

It's one of the reasons the Tech Update has taken over 2 years... and will take longer... all the nearly 20,000 images either needed revised or reposed - or both - from 4:3 to 16:9 display ratio. Until the Tech Update is released, the black bars will be there if you play on a mobile device or full screen on a modern monitor.
