Damn, just me want a complex story with Sara? I do not see anyone mentioning it anywhere. She is one of the hottest in the game.
For those who do not remember her ...
View attachment 345116

I know she's kind of Captain Terry's girlfriend, but come on ... a story with her would be fantastic, there's a lot of potential in that.
That's where that boat could go down in history.

What if Capt. Terry abandoned her for another woman, and she needed someone (MC) to comfort her? it would be interesting.
Well, I love this game, the only flaw is that the updates take a long time.
No way! Bros before hoes, remember?

I think seeing the main story progress would be nice or maybe even finishing it in a foreseeable future, then adding all the other pointless characters. Having option and lots of things to do is nice but I think it should feel like there is a 'purpose' since it's a game and not just porn pics.

Hey, I'd say she has a better chance than you might think. She's blonde, slim and from what we've seen has a good personality. The one I wish would get updated is Annie, and given the fact that she's a cranky bitch I would say she's the more likely option for 2024.
No, Annie, Judith and the principal is a major part of MC's school story. So I doubt it would take until 2024 for that one. Maybe late 2021, give or take. But then again it's up to the patreon fans who votes what goes next. I believe What's hurting the Annie and Judith release is the principal herself, no one likes her and she's ugly as fuck both in appearance and attitude, no redeeming qualities. I wanted the Annie update not because of her, but her Mother Lucy, man she's bae, my fave waifu in this game.

Is there a chance someone can invent a time machine and bring this finished product back from 2075. Ill be dead by then and I'd love to play version 1.0
Devil's Advocate: How can you be so sure that DarkCookie even plans to finish this game??? What if he might just bail out with all the patreon bucks and ditches us. As a creative mind/artist myself, I have artist block where I just wanna quit and I get tired of doing the same thing. That's also why Hunter x Hunter is in hiatus. So, that's a fucked up scenario if DarkCookie quits and bails. Just sayin'

You say that, but we're averaging two proper updates per year. Which means at best two characters get a storyline per year and in 2019 it's only going to be one new major storyline. Think about that for a second. That means in 2020 we get two characters, in 2021 we get two characters, in 2022 we get two characters, and there's no guarantee that DC isn't going to go back and redo previously completed storylines. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the updates next year is an expansion of the teachers storylines instead of giving characters who have had no attention whatsoever proper storylines. 2024 is an exaggeration of course, but a lot of characters are going to sit by the wayside simply because DC is drip feeding a content drip feed. He spends months working at a snail's pace, while other games that take in far less cash per month easily lap Summertime Saga in terms of quantity and quality of content.

Patreons should never have input on what's covered next, just little pieces here and there. There's a reason most professional game developers tend to ignore the fans.

  • v.20 - Maria, Iwanka, Melania Rump and maybe Hillary?(eww pls no) - Early/1st half 2020 release (which makes sense, election year)
  • v.21 - Rhonda, Cassie, Gym teacher? (not sure) - Late/2nd half 2020 release.
  • v.22 - Consuela, Latina chola friends (not official, just a guess based on the recent content poll, this came in 2nd to Rhonda choice of release.) - early/1st half 2021 release.

Yeah, I'll believe it when that actually happens, but think about what that poll means for a second. It means they're intending to keep this game in development for at least two more years. At least. So at the absolute earliest it will be done in 2022, which means it'll have been in development for a bare minimum of five years. If you tackle all of its content at once you can do everything Summertime Saga has to offer in a couple of hours. I typically don't concern myself with the game all that much, but in what world does it make sense for him to take a minimum of five years to make a game that has so little content? The first piece of the Final Fantasy VII Remake will take less time than Summertime Saga and it's been a laughing stock for quite a while due to how long it's taken. It will be thousands of times larger than Summertime Saga and it was an internet meme for years before Squeenix got its act together. DC is scamming people and will keep this gaming going as long as he possibly can. We waited six months for 1.8 and it was ten minutes of content.

Personally I think there should be a "lifetime ceiling" to how much gets pumped into these, even through Patreon.
This one currently makes over $600,000 a year. Another 3 years of that is almost $2 million dollars, and that's ignoring what's already been spent on it. An overall budget of $2 million to make one of these, even something as relatively deeply layered as SS, is pretty overboard for a 2d game that doesn't even have any voiceover.

I mean I can't really hate & if I was DC I'd be tempted as FUCK to endlessly milk it too.

Hey, you guys may want to try out my mod if you are interested in a condom surprise for Ivy :)
I don't know if it's a result specifically of you mod, but i installed it and Jenny's story gets broken when you go to Pink. you go through the dialogue, but then there is no way to leave the store, there is no "exit" or "leave" icon to click on.

Honestly though, If this happened, how mad would you really be? The game has a fuckton of content, it's excellent, and it's more feature complete than 99% of the games in the genre. And really, what's missing than anyone could legitimately complain about? The main story needs a conclusion but do any of us REALLY care about that? Seriously, I think DC could take his patreon bucks and go home right now and be pretty well justified in doing so.

a little spoile for the next version.
warning: keep in mind that this spoile include sex scenes, and all this pictures has been found only on the internet.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Most of that stuff, except the last picture of Odette, is indeed fan made and not part of the game.

dc needs to put mia back on the poll, she'd win the next one easily
Given how unpopular those last reworks have been I'd guess he'll take another round of new stories first. Though I'd be really happy to see her story.
