people should brace themselves btw. Reading DC's release plan for the tech update, the game is effectively going to lose content. There may be changes to the storylines and new scenes here and there, but until all of the tech update parts are out the game will have substantially fewer routes and finished characters than the current version

definitely wait - especially with any of the work that has been done revamping older assets

.....that being said, it still might be a serious wait

It's going to be absolutely infuriating. He'll have a big new map with all these new/updated characters and you won't be able to do anything other than listen to their canned lines and then sit on the railroad tracks of the one or two characters that'll release with it. 95% of their routes will be identical to the game we already have, with maybe a few fresh sets of animation and poses on already-existing scenes.

Someone's going to have to take a hard look at the code when the first one version comes out, because I have a sinking feeling it'll release without any of the fancy new additions and will just be a linear set of A -> B -> C quests that a competent coder could throw together in like a week. Also, does anyone else see the cruel irony in announcing that they want to "aim for a release cadence of roughly 2 months" for new characters? It's the same development schedule as 2016! Why the hell didn't they do that in the first place?!

Just do it man there's absolutely no reason to wait if the reason you're waiting is for more content/whenever the game gets "finished" since that will take years, and i think no matter which perspective you ultimately take on this development saga the time passed speaks for itself.

I think it's an infinite project at this point, since the main stuff got done ages ago, and the way i see it everything since then is just people paying for dlcs, or rather the promise of dlcs. With the proven track record and incentive I'm guessing that this could continue for at least another 4 years, before the team runs out of stuff they can throw into it.

Anyone wanting to play or replay this game should just do so and consider what's there for the complete experience, and then on a yearly basis come back to this thread to kek and see if anything's changed.

You struck a deeper cord than you know. LOTS of essential past content has to be permanently removed IF the TU/Remake even happens at all and I hold strong: that's a big IF.

It's because of Patreon's latest dive into mental illness with regards to which fantasies are correct and which are not correct and will get you banned with any retort summarily suppressed (it already happened to a lot of major titles in the past few months).
Patreon's Fantasy Police is now out to protect from any exposure to an incorrect representation of consent in fantasies. Consequently, SS now runs a major risk of being insta-banned right after their first TU release.

An essential part of what made SS hot was how MC conquered his bratty sister. He basically keeps pushing her and even though she formally rejects him (i.e. NO CONSENT), she's eventually betrayed by her own desires and submits to his insistence and big dick. That's now more than reason enough to be banned.
Quick rundown (from years old memories) of violations of Patreon-consent:
- Any spying on sis/mom/neighbors/etc. via telescope, via slightly opened doors, via holes in the roof, etc.
- Stealing underwear without consent
- Giving any pills to anyone without consent
- Any moves during sex that go beyond conservative and weren't explicitly consented to beforehand: e.g. slapping ass, breaking cuffs to go turbo mode, cumming inside, initiating sex while he/she sleeps, putting dick inside even though he said "just rubbing", etc.
An impossibly difficult issue is everything that has to do with the highschool setting:
- Teachers making pets out of students? => ban.
- Teachers fucking students? => ban.
- Highscool applied to the above? => turboban.
The whole highschool setting needs to be removed. What will even be left?
Without the above SS will go from a funky vanilla with some spice (as far as I'm concerned) down to... I don't even know what to call it. There are telenovelas with much hotter content daily watched by hundreds of millions of normal school girls, I can guarantee that.
However, NOT butchering SS to make it compliant with westoid 21st century (a)sexuality means a ban is practically guaranteed due to the massive wave of complains the woke will raise to make a point out of the #1 game on the platform.

As I explained a few weeks ago, DC's best strategy to milk max. $ for min. work from what's left of SS would've been to just ignore everything and keep performing his busy theater as he did for the past 3+ years. We don't know why he failed to keep the scam going like that. Maybe too many paypigs switched their monthly tributes to $1.

His best strategy is still is to delay the TU as much as possible because trust me, if he manages to start a remake with only correct fantasies, you don't want to play that. Nobody does.

Oh and also, there was no work on any engine or anything like that. Not only will we all be able to show it by decompiling TU and exposing the fraud but even the most brain dead will be able to see it because, AGAIN, SAVES WILL NOT WORK across releases. You can bet on that.

Yeah I am usually not a fan of RPGM games but NTL's are the exception for me.
I said something similar in a review of mine of one of his games, it's not that I don't like RPGM games. The key is, I don't like bad games and it's just veeeeery easy to make a bad game in RPGM, even if the art is great. *cough* Warlock and Boobs *cough*

Some of you are emotionally invested in this disappointment it seems.

Me I am expecting the partial tech releases, no more no less. If eventually we get more it will be a nice bonus. The odds of us getting more have just gone up just because the dev is now doing something other than wallpapers, limited time streams with no end in site. At the end of the day there are now better 2D games on the market.

I just would like some closure for the main characters at least, if that finally happens one day it will be good. If it does not I will not loose any sleep over it.
At the end of the day people still really like Summertime, otherwise they wouldn't have any investment in it in the first place. I think its fine to be invested in a game, even if its porn, just don't become obsessive over it I guess.

There's some good 2D games out there but I have yet to find one that's better than StS. I'd like to hear some suggestions from you.

From his discord,2 days ago. I don't think its abandoned tho.

When will it come out?
All game developers dread this question, but If testing goes well, we hope to release the first build towards the end of the coming month (May). As always, patrons will have exclusive access to a high speed download ahead of public availability.
does not say which year
