Surely there are some content ready for an update, why not release it? Are they waiting for the complete version in 2030?
What you're asking is similar to saying "surely there are some new parts ready for the next model of the BMW, so why not release it?"

The tech update isn't about new content. It's about code, posing, art, mechanics, etc... The code is being reworked. Minigames are being tweaked. The image layers would work for some art backgrounds - 16:9, if the layers have been posed properly, 4:3 if the layers have not. Also, because the layers are still being updated in their naming consistency, there would be a lot of "error: can't find image XXXXXX." They haven't even begun playtesting it to find bugs, yet.

I hope this has been informative.

Meh we already have the mom and the aunt for the taboo stuff. For me she is just an annoying bitch.
As mentioned before, she became popular because she's MC's sister and people expected (some may still expect that, actually) her to go down the Roxxy route and become a lot nicer.

I think he should just replace Roxxy with Jenny in the game logo at this point.
Roxxy acutally happend to be the first character DC created, before SS wasn' even supposed to be game. Hence MC's head is squeezed so awkwardly into the logo, because DC only added him later on.

It's such a strange piece of history, that she was only added as a game character a bit later and didn't even feature in the first versions of the game.

Yes, it was. It will be the complete version then. Fortunately, it's not a car.

I like both tbh,Jenny has some hot sex scenes is hard to hate her.
I had some hopes that DC would make her more likeable when he released her story, but after playing it I just am not able to like her. It's one of those characters that if he never made new content for her, I wouldn't really mind.

My advice is for people here is to just come back next year. Only by miracle, will they be able to release the update before the end of the year.
The remainder of the "Tech" update is mostly back end coding. If people are waiting on content they're better off waiting for the Ronda update possibly in 2025-2028.

what's the date when the abandoned tag can be applied?
That date is 25-Sep-2022. That's when 18 months have passed after SS' last normal release, which was over 3 years ago, on 25-Mar-2021.

Between 25-Mar-2021 and 31-Oct-2022 there were a couple of ridiculous superficial releases, each with VERY little content. No new stories, just a bit of filler content added on top of already existing scenes. These happened because back then DC still feared paypigs might not have what it takes to keep paying just for seeing him act busy, put out a few wallpapers / month and serve all the bullshit they can eat.
When other devs (e.g. ICSTOR) tried the same (i.e. putting out superficial releases to avoid being flagged [ABANDONED]), F95 rightfully slapped them with [ABANDONED]. "Inexplicably", SS is immune.

In Dec-2020 DC sold the Tech Update to his paypigs as something that will take 3-4 months to complete. Paypigs voted for the TU based on this lie. Today it's 37+ months since work on the TU has allegedly began in full. But today, 37+ months into those promised 3-4 months, SS is long past the moment when it had any kind of direction or believable status updates. It's dead in the water. Today SS doesn't even have a (tentative) release date for the TU.
You'd think the above more than qualifies SS to have been flagged [ABANDONED] long ago because it's a project that broke its own promise not once or twice but TEN TIMES OVER while having THE biggest budget in crowd-funded adult game history. Again "inexplicably", SS is immune.

So don't be surprised if "inexplicably" strikes again before May 1st when 18 months will have passed after 31-Oct-2022.

P.S: SS actually made more money ($2.2 million and counting) by not delivering the TU in the past 3 years than it did in the 5 years before that (~2.1 million) by delivering all the stories that make up SS.
I'm sure DC used that money most diligently, to pay thousands and thousands of professionals in his team to work tirelessly, round the clock, on the TU. It would be insane to think DC just pocketed a vast majority of that income, spending strictly what was needed to keep the scam going. People can't just do that and then vanish without soiling their good name. Besides, people who keep their word just don't do these kind of things.

Clearly, Summertime Saga is on hold, not abandoned. That's the tag it should have right now.
(It's neither)
Here's the thing. If DC was worried about F95's influence, he could have requested the thread flagged as on-hold, but then he would have had only 6 months to put out an update until it gets flagged as abandoned, no matter the amount of communication on social media/platforms.

Whereas, DC not requesting the on-hold flag, that is why it is 18 months of wait time before the thread is flagged abandoned, because he continues communication on social media/platforms.

As you can see, it really doesn't benefit any developer to state they are on-hold. In fact, they're held to a tighter deadline by doing so.

Again, these are simply F95 flags - it doesn't actually affect much outside of F95, if a developer is reasonably established outside of F95's influence.
