I think the last thing we should do now is hate the game. It has received a tech update and DarkCookie will now gradually bring back the old content in a new edition. Anyone who has played the old content will see that a lot has changed in terms of the story. For example, when you meet Erik for the first time, Mrs. Johnson comes out of the house and hands him the lunchbox. These scenes are drawn with great attention to detail. Or when you meet Mia for the first time in front of the school, how the picture then takes on a new perspective and you see Mia looking at the bus, then she turns around and looks at the main character. These scenes turned out great and correspond to the quality of a DarkCookie.

To be honest, I thought that DC would copy every scene 1:1, the fact that they are inserting whole new scenes into the story is just a great thing. And yes... DarkCookie took a long time and the update is still not completely finished. You can go into all the buildings, you can buy everything. It's basically been remade at the beginning, just with more content in the initial story.

Unfortunately, the Ronda update will come much later, if he now delivers the old content in a new version every 2 months. But then he'll at least have a basic framework and will then concentrate on the new storylines. And if he dares to do another poll about whether he should do a 4k tech update, then stop voting for it. We don't have DarkCookie to thank for the tech update, but his Patreons who voted for it and it got the most votes. So DC was just trying to implement what they "wanted". A game that was so far advanced... well... let's put it this way... it should have been clear to every Patreon that such a tech update would take time. With the new scenes, he has redeemed himself for me.

I've supported him again on Patreon. But... if he doesn't deliver in two months and it takes longer again, then I'll stop it immediately.

Never in my life have I seen someone who likes to suck a dev's dick more than you. And you're paying him for it too.

And in the end, he won't "deliver" anything, but he will shit in your mouth afterwards.

You are the problem. You are the reason he's doing this. You enabled this.

Way to release garbage to get rid of the abandon tag and to keep that money coming in. This is like the desperate cash grab EFT tried to do and its going to go tits up. How many years? For this? yea game has been long dead to me now and just seems its gonna stay that way. Dont get me wrong if you haven't played the old version definitely worth a once through. But once you do that and run through all the content. And it takes 2 years to do this, with piss poor if not non existent community interaction. Guess he did do those streams once upon a time not sure if those are a thing anymore. But yea just a greedy cash grab now.

Wtf is it with the sudden review bombing?
Dev has been milking his patrons for years now, released an update with about 98% of the content removed in exchange for about 1 new scene and a couple old scenes slightly cleaned up.

2 years of dev time and this is what was produced, it's pretty pathetic.

I mean, summertime saga is and always will be one of the best games on this site, and the full version is still available for free even on the dev's own site... and since this is really just the beginning of the updated version people are completely overreacting but... it's hard not to observe that the patrons are really being taken advantage of. The ones still paying for it have to be completely deluded or just forgot they are still paying for it monthly. It's really an embarrassment for what is basically the biggest income for any porn game.

funny thing, this 'release' has 1.2 GB, almost EXACTLY as the previous one. With only 10% content. Oh man, their code must be a mess.
no, well it might be, but another user here looked into it, all the old art is still there but not usable so that is the reason why it has it's size.

You don't optimize for size early on, that comes later when everything is done, size is basically only relevant for mobile these days. If anything STS is lightweight because it reuses a ton of stuff.
I'm sure there'll be a compressed version with lower quality assets down the line.
