This guy is really making this game all over again, it would be better to just complete the game, start a new project with all the intended tech update and improved resolution, I am sure the players want to see new storyline and characters.
Is too late now,the moment to realize making a sequel would be better was 2 years ago.
Now we are stuck in this tech update limbo for who knows how long.

Not quite my business for other people L's. I'm wasting my time if i try to convince people to get out of the hole when they're not even want to get out.
I mean, this entire thread is an endless cycle of:

*Status update*
*some people comment on how good it looks/how excited they are etc*
"wait, you cannot enjoy it or be excited about it since I hate the creator and the update is taking time wah wah"
I swear, some seem more invested in the game's downfall than its development, and it's sad.

Looking at the progress bars, I don't think it will be too much longer, my best guess is late September, only 20 posing updates left, and then some 40% of coding which in all honesty should not take that long. I do feel for the Pateron supporters though.

They did all the "easier" tasks first... the ones that remain appear to be the more difficult, time suckers. See the copy of the progress bar updates from my FAQ, that I have tracked 88 times since February 2022.

Wait, did you mean late September 2024? Then, you may be closer with that estimation.

The problem is that each posing task is an entire character story or route, which historically took up several weeks at best during a normal update cycle. DC isn't helping matters by continually adding new artwork and fluff to the Jenga tower of work to be done, either. Like the several movie theater scenes he was working on a couple weeks ago, or the background/cutscene art, or apparently every single static character pose that was made prior to 2021.

The whole messy tech update is the culmination of DC's continual dissatisfaction with his earlier work and penchant for redoing shit that was fine in the first place. Without anyone to reign him in he'll keep tinkering and tinkering until it's absolutely perfect, and anyone who knows that kind of artist knows that it'll never be perfect enough.

why is he even doing this stuff? complete waste of time just like when he worked on the lighthouse interior for weeks. if he hired 5 more artists he could tell them to do stuff like this but as long as he is the sole artist he should focus on the stuff that people actually play the game for. he could have finished the art for the ronda, annie and judith updates a long while ago. just draw additional h-scenes if those are finished.

sucks that there is nobody to reign him in, his patreons appearently are still okay with it though.

2021 - 60% (Let's get to work!)
2022 - 16% (Work, again?!)
2023 - 3% (What job are you talking about, better pass me the beer!)

This dynamic inspires...
It seems that in 2023 the developers are completely fat and lazy.

Eh, I'm glad some of the old art gets remade to be honest. It looks better and will be more consistent with the rest of the game, even though I personally don't like some of the design changes, it's worth it overall. Whether its a good choice to tack all that onto an already messy tech-update is another story.

What design changes do you not like? I'm curious because I have ones that I don't like as well. I HATE HATE HATE the new Jane artwork. I thought she was hot before and now I think she looks strung out. Not sure I dig the new Mia either and I prefer the old Eve to the new Eve. What are the changes you don't like?

Let's be fair, until now he basically hasn't touched any content that that was actually created post 0.17. Most of the things he is changing now were made in the early 0.10s and they kinda deserve some attention. The school, for example, is one of the most used places in the game, yet it featured some of the the worst/simplest background art.

It has been clear for years that a lot of content that was created before 0.17 and especially before 0.15 would have to be reworked (heavily) and he's basically just doing that.

I'm not saying one has to agree, but it's not like it's really that unexpected.

The needle moved I guess
now its showing 82 percent.
So optimistically speaking we are seeing a late 2026 update here

I agree on this one.
He(DC) could have Made another Game with Another Story and a Main Character instead of Cramming them into SSaga.

This has exactly been my thinking as well. He didn't need to "remake" Summertime Saga. Just complete the game, declare it as done and move on. Use your new tech for a new game with new characters. Maybe in the future you can go back and remake SS.
