What does the tracker actually "track"? Sometimes I got there check, it says "7 changes in the last 24 hours" but nothing really changed on the percentage meters.

why are ppl so fascinated with this game? 1 second loops for all animations. 2d gfx that are well out dated .. its like a 90s parody trying to fill itself with as many pop culture references as possible in an attempt to seem "cool" and "relevant". how many "not implemented yet" parts are there? as if that part of the game was just added as a tease and never worked on therefore abandoned but to lead you to hope it will eventually happen? I have read this game has been being "developed" for like 5 + years? lmao ...I just do not get it ...
Sounds like a multiple account again.
I like it very much yes the story is something of its own but tastes are different, right?

The animations are high quality and fluid, there's not many 2D games that have the same quality animations, and there's no games that have as much content as SS with these animations. 2D art doesn't really get outdated in the same sense that 3D renders would. There's art from ten or even hundreds of years ago that's better than modern art. I'm not sure how you would classify this art as outdated unless it's competing with itself.

I agree with the references and especially the unimplemented content. Not sure why you're saying "developed" as if there's barely any content though, this game has plenty of content.

It comes down to big game with nice art/animations and decent gameplay, it's not hard to imagine why people like this game.

So at the start of each update they make a big check list of everything that needs to be done, doesn't matter if it's an art task that'll take two hours or reposing an entire route they're all one box that needs to be checked and that's what the tracker keeps track of anytime they tick off a box on that list it goes up (When it's not broken, which happens a lot.). When you see x amount of changes in the last 24 hours that's them logging changes made to the task that make up the boxes.

The game is quite literally a parody of 90s teenage romance movies. I thought that was obvious by the time Roxxy's route was made.

Besides, let's not act like many of the 3D games are doing much better than this game. A renpy game is a renpy game at the end of the day. And all the other super big non renpy 3D games have their own fair share of problems. Like Subverse for example.

I'm trying to do a Roxxie run but it looks like i can't get new content with her anymore. It was super short if that's the case. Once i become her official boyfriend nothing new happen. I can't even seem to be able to invite her in the beach house to live here ?

Just curious: did someone tell you that it was possible to have any of the girls move in with you? The plan is that, someday, you'll be able to take one of them to the prom. I doubt there will ever be marriage or cohabitation.

They added a few new scenes with Roxxy (at her trailer) in the tech updates but at the moment the only content the beach house has is with Consuela. And I don't know how the beach house plays into future updates sadly :/

the categorisation of things-to-do into "tasks" is completely arbitrary. 1 task might be something as large as "repose Mia's questline", or something as small as "fix bug #1247 -- image of Tony not appearing because ren'py is calling the wrong filename"
this is partly the reason why progress appears so slow even by Summertime Saga standards; if all work is being done on a few big tasks but they're not done yet, the tracker is marked as no progress even if the coders are making decent headway
I think patreon subs have the more granular tracker that has the actual tasks listed -- hopefully one will post a screenshot of it for you

Exactly. Also, new tasks get added alongside the completed tasks, making it seem that there is no progress overall.

As for the more detailed progress tracker it doesn't give that much more information as the majority of the tasks are censored for spoiler reasons.

Not troll..it just still in the middel not stretch to full screen
It's android version

I hate when 4:3 content gets stretched to 16:9. Everything is 1/3 wider than it should be. The girls get 33% fatter. Circles become ovals. Squares become rectangles. Cats become dogs. It's madness!!!

Anyway, I'm not sure if that's a thing that Ren'Py can do, but you're probably better off.

I_Need_An_Adult For me it's a combination of above average writing and characters, and a unique art style. And then you add into it mechanics that are like 25% as grindy as other titles, along with, what is by now 118 years since the game launched, a fairly good chunk of content, and it is for me the best h-game out there.

This game started life as a Wincest title and only went to the 'Landlady' route after Patreon cracked down on that content from creators on their platform. So that's the game I want to play, and I mod it accordingly. It has what I think is pretty much the most believable story of all the Wincest titles I've played (meaning how MC comes to bed all the women in his family), and that goes a long way towards enjoyment.

But in a Wincest game, there are only so many possible options. Once you get them, that's it. That's the game; it would be a little disingenuous to suddenly introduce a grandmother or half-sister, or something like that at this stage (unless they could somehow be introduced earlier in the story). So anything else, meaning 'bangables' outside the family, is gravy. The teachers, Mrs Johnson, Mia's mom, Roxxy and her friends, Maria............. they're all basically just DLC as far as I'm concerned, so I don't care that updates come out once every 15 lunar cycles. It's nice to have all that content in the Summerville Universe, and I will gladly play any updates when (or if) they do come out, and that will be a fun way to spend half an hour that week, but that will be that. I don't care at all about the pregnancy stuff or dating, and I certainly don't care about sending MC to prom, or who killed his dad.
