Are you talking about a quest related to Jenny's story, where you already found and read her diary? Then the door should not be locked. Or are you talking about Master Somrak wanting you to bring him panties? In the second case, proceed with Jenny's story first. Otherwise, you could attach a savegame here and I can see what is missing.
What's the plan with this game in terms of the final 1.0 version?
If updates are being released in 0.01 increments and it's taken 3.5 years to get to 0.2, am I right in thinking that we'll get 1.0 in 2034 at which point the devs will have earnt approx $10million ($60k p/month) on top of whatever they've already earnt.
My math right? I'm kinda being sarcastic, but at the same time do actually wonder wtf the plan is...

The plan is to make as much $$$ as possible from the game. Yes, that's a cynical point of view, but look at the money they are making and compare it to what non-porn games take to make...

The numbers are somewhat random, so the game isn't really meant to reach 1.0.
As to the plan, there's a detailed roadmap available and the game is currently at about 50%. I did some math on my own some time ago based on that roadmap, just in case you are interested. In short: It's probably going to take at least about ~3 years from now on until everything DC plans to do is done.
As to his earnigs? Who knows how they'll develope, but yes, he's got a global playerbase with a huge fanbase in the south asian region and europe. As far as I'm aware he mentioned that north america comes quite a bit behind those when it comes to downloads from his own server. And sure, once you do something right on that scale, you'll make good money. Especially considering that he's got many $1 donors who will be more patient compared to others.

Do you actually think any of this makes sense?
No, it's not a counter starting at 0.01 and ending at 1.00. The game gets updates story wise as makes sense, then at one point it might switch from 0.x to 1.x. Or continue to get 0.x updates.
Or none. And DC surely does not have everything planned out right now to the minute of the day.

All those people who realised "Best" is completely subjective in this case and have a different opinion.
I don't mind Judith, but I also don't find her a number 1 priority. To each their own.
I must say though that I wish they'd finish current characters before adding new ones.
Fair enough - thanks for the breakdown, most informative thing I've seen. Still, 7 years development is a long time so I get why the devs are shady af about being upfront about that.
No I don't - that's why I said I was being sarcastic. It was just a prod to see what the actual situation was, which someone else has kindly had a guess at.

Well, there's literally a tracker on his homepage which says that "Summertime Saga is approximately 50.29% complete", so everybody who can add ~3+3 should arrive at 6 to 7 years. I don't really know how much more upfront DC could be?
Just had a look on the website and the patreon.....not seeing anything saying 50% completed? It's definitely not made very obvious. I can see the progress tracker for 0.2, but then that brings us back to 0.2 not actually being 20% but just some arbitrary number cos who cares. Also, under the FAQs on the website, as an answer for when will it be completed, they've put "Hard to say. We still have a lot of content left to make and the game is very open ended." So yeah.......
I'm not really here to debate, was just bored and wondered if anyone had a logical answer. Kinda thinking not. Fully aware of the average patreon supporter mindset here though, most would just give the dude a blank check and he'd happily rinse them dry. No-one's convincing me that the last update (which was 3 months work?) was worth $180k contributions, but there ya go.
Kinda made me laugh when I had a look on his patreon and the latest post was about being too ill to work for a bit.....that's a new one!

Well, yeah, it's a feature for patreons. So everybody who pays will see it:
There are older full versions in this thread somewhere.
I think DC's deal is pretty much clear by now. He'll draw the game on his own and what he can draw is the content we'll get. The game is free and people give what they want to give. It probably doesn't matter, whether he earns 30, 60 or 100k a month, the speed won't change, given that it's ultimately limited by his drawings. To me that's fine, because by drawing everything on his own it's consistent in style and quality. I don't mind waiting a bit longer.
You can follow his streams 4 to 5 times a week and he was certainly sick, given how much he coughed and sneezed.
As said, those who don't want to pledge, don't have to. The game is free, the streams are free, so if people think he's earning too much they can pledge less or nothing. I personally gave him 20 to 25 bucks a year for the last 3 years, while this year i'll probably settle with $1 month. It's still a good deal to me.

I know it's probably coming across like I'm shit stirring and maybe I am a little, but I'm only poking fun really. I have my opinions on the devs of the majority of the games here, which extend to 'DC' also, but I'm sure he's a nice dude and it's great he has a supportive community.
I do STRONGLY disagree that it doesn't matter how much money he's making, because that's the motivation for him to be doing this and it allows him to keep it as his full-time job. It's in his interest to draw this out as long as possible (within reason to keep his supporters happy). Why bust a gut, when he can earn just as much taking his time?
I'd bet all the money in the world that he'd pick up the pace if his patreon numbers started dropping. I mean, I feel like the majority of the content came in the initial updates when he was (presumably) earning much less and has slowed down the more support he's had.
I just wish the community would hold devs to a higher standard when they start taking the piss, which (IMO) DC is doing. $60k p/month just doesn't stack up with the amount of content he's putting out, but there ya go - fair play to him honestly. I'm not gonna sway the masses.
