You know there's a dedicated functionality to search thread titles only regardless of sort order, right?

Obviously, but on default sorting you get lots of results with mods for the game, or fan threads, or "looking for games like X" before the actual game thread in my experience.

Let me get this straight. The dev spent their time making a new source code and it only has 1st school day, new locations, Debbie content and Jenny's content? Instead of using the time to add the locations into the already fine game? Waste of time if you ask me.

It’s wild that DC hasn’t slapped him with a copyright infringement/reported this to Patreon yet.
porn "parodies" are protected.
if they were NOT protected this game would be shut down for using the likeness of various people without their permission.
also much of the porn industry would likewise get shutdown for copyright infringement.

They are not protected. That is the common misconception.

There is no such thing as "protection" against copyright infringement cases. There are affirmative defenses which can be made in a legal setting - but if an IP holder decides to make a claim of infringement, simply saying "its a porn parody" does not stop the action. It still requires legal decisions which a respondent would need to show that their work transforms the original in such a way that it does not infringe on the rights of the IP holder (parody, education, or similar possible defense). That requires legal counsel, discovery, depositions, and the like should the IP decide to take the respondent through the full steps should the respondent fail to cease and desist in their actions.

Most respondents cannot afford legal counsel and all the fees that go with defending their claims and typically cease their work when challenged by IP holders.

Didn't he actually do some animation work for previous builds of the game anyway?

That's basically as much of a go ahead anyone will ever get.

> Anyone can sue you, even if they lose.

Protected does not mean "nobody can sue". it means "you will win the lawsuit".
Nobody dares to sue porn parodies thus far. because losing a case is costly. (as you can be held liable for the lawyer costs of the defendant)

Someone should really do their own version on this game and add the incest back, the artstyle of the faces is the only thing this dude has. someone just copy the art and make a new game, pls.

Again, a common misconception. It depends upon the jurisdiction. For example, in the USA each party is held responsible for their own case and attorney costs. If an IP holder wins a case, they can request in their claim for compensation of attorney fees and the like - or if it is determined by arbitration or mediation, it could be part of the agreement between the parties. A respondent must file a countersuit or subsequent action in order to attempt to receive funds for such compensation. As such, it would need for the respondent to show that the original claim by the IP holder was frivolous, or similar.

That would be something which is actionable for DC to claim IP infringement. DC has held at least one other developer accountable.

Here's a funny story.

I was just glancing through one of DC's streams, not long after this "update" came out, and I just happened to scrub through to a point where someone asked about if Debbie pregnancy will be put in the game.

In response to this, DC goes all snarky, saying that there wasn't enough time to put in new content or update the art with everything they've done.

Okay, I knew there wouldn't be any new additions, but the dude is just casually admitting that one of the main sales pitches for the tech update, updating the art, he didn't do it. AND he's being snarky about it.

DC just wanted to draw backgrounds and wallpapers of his characters, whilst keeping the cash coming in.
I'm predicting that whenever the Patreon money actually does dry up that he announces that development on Summertime Saga is ending effectively immediately, and that v0.20.15 is the "final" version he always intended (since he never finished the "tech update"), and will claim it's because of [insert excuse here] when really it's because he doesn't want to actually have to work for income anymore.

My money is on him blaming AI training on allowing people to easily rip off his art and him getting all melodramatic with the "Woe is me, the artist, whose talents are no longer needed thanks to AI" spiel.

If they manage to make an update after this flop I personally am hoping for some content like fuck Tammy in front of Erik or June in front of Erik or a threeway with June and Tammy and Erik watching optional. Honestly based on the rest of the games vibe it shocked and disappointed me when not only was that not an option but you actually had to choose one or the other even though he is pretty much a voyeur/ cuck character and this is a harem game. I mean harem games seem to be a pretty simple equation to me make all girls/ fuckable charaters available but up to player choice to view the content. Also a Trans preggo Eve would be a funny addition, along with Debbie and even Roz well shit just about every character without the option should be given the option to be pregnant, though atleast you didn't do the number 1 fuck up of all devs and pregnancy by making it the fucking epilogue.
