I am stuck with the Diane's Story.
1)I have made her pregnant but can't upgrade her story.

2)2)Every time I meet Dr.Priya there is no update for it. :(
Her being pregnant is why you can't update her story. It won't proceed until after she not only gives birth, but stops holding the baby 24/7, which takes about an extra week. It's a long process.

DC uploaded and overall schedule some days ago . At this point the game is officially ~45% done which means 2 to 3 more years is probably a good guess. That said, those missing 55% are what DC thinks the game needs to be seen as complete, while it is certainly possible to add more content afterwards or in surprise updates in case people actually want it or DC thinks it's a good idea.


DC said a few days ago that Kevin likely won't get "his" content because nobody voted for him and it's indeed either a somewhat full update including sex or no update at all - that's why he isn't included in the new development overview. So you'll likely be disappointed, unless "public opinion" changes, but in that case I'd expect a full update including sex.
mmm...okay, 2 to 3 years is about what I figured but feared something like 4 to 5 years. Although with the money they are pulling in, I wish they had another game in production. It would be great to know if summertime saga, is not their one hit wonder and I can see them repeat their success with other games in different settings.

why can't they make updates so that we can use old saves? i don't get it. after making the game for so long do the developers still need to tweak/change earlier scenes or mechanics after every single update such that old saves don't work? i obviously have no knowledge on Ren'Py but no other game/VN i have played has this problem(not unless there are drastic changes in the game mechanics). is it really that hard?

Yes, it is that hard. To put it simply the way SS is being build they improve and add new content to all parts of the game: the beginning, the middle and not just at the ''end'' side of the code like many other games do. A save file is like a road map and when a game not just adds new roads but also changes the old ones, you need a new road map.

There's a whole post by the programmer discussing the problem .

yes i understand that much. what i don't get is why are they continuously changing the 'beginning' and 'middle' parts. i mean surely before a scene is made or story added, the developers have already planned it out and would make them accordingly. so why is it continuously being changed? maybe they are just perfectionists. anyways thanks for your input. also someone linked a subreddit on this matter so hopefully it will make things clearer. :)

Because the dude's earning more than 45000 $ monthly from SS. Is it enough, or should I add some more unnecessary words?

what I have learned from this games is that it doesn't matter how much of a loser or a nerd you are, as long as you have a big dick, you can get all the bitches.
That's pretty much the premise behind virtually all porn games with a male protagonist though... And most of the common/cliched porn scenarios in general:LOL:

As a community, we're overpaying for this. DC made 0 efforts to hire another artist, which is the only way progress would accelerate.
DC likely doesn't want anyone else drawing because he views the characters as his own creation. It's a common territorial thing with artists, especially for small projects like this compared to large-scale studio workplaces where multiple artists work on the same characters.

I see that side of it and maybe some of it's true, but I'd say more likely than not he just wants all the money. I mean, if Patrons aren't going to force his hand to increase update speed then why would he?

His art style isn't special or anything and I'm sure he could find someone who could do an identical job that works even faster than he does. It all comes down to greed though in the end, and if people are willing to wait for his snail paced small updates then hey, he should do it. You know the saying... "there's a sucker born every minute..."

If save compatibility ever comes, maybe people will start to clearly see how small these updates actually are, and how absurd it is for someone to be making that much off so little content. It's straight robbery from foolish people really. I stopped pledging to DC a while ago, and have no intention of ever doing so again. Just felt like my money was better off being given to other creators who deserve it more.
