It's entirely possible that the art also isn't finished because DC is continually working on small improvements while he's waiting for posing and coding to be completed.

Mrs. Smith, Aqua, Zoey, Jenny, Debbie as well as background and art updates to game items have been in recent streams.

The more I read these complaints, the more I get the impression that a lot of people don't even bother to look in on the streams and actually SEE the work being done on a regular basis.

For any game you are interested in, wait for it to fully finish then binge play it all if you like it. Playing update by update is blue balling yourself and makes no sense; you get less enjoyment from the little playtime and long waits.

Hard disagree. For all any of us know we could walk outside tomorrow and get brained by a toilet from the Space Station plummeting to Earth. Life is too short to pass up on a potentially promising fap on the off-chance that it might be made marginally better by waiting. And if it leaves my balls blue, I got plenty of other ways to relieve the tension while I'm waiting.

Plus, Summertime Saga has been in development for nearly 8 years at this point and will likely be in development for at minimum 4 or 5 more, if not longer. That's on the extreme side, but other than the ones done by NLT and Faerin most of the really good games on this site will take longer than the average bachelor's degree to see completion. I dunno about you, but that seems a much bigger blue-balling than simply finding enjoyment in what you can play right now.

You know, that's essentially what's going on right now, right? And that's exactly one of the reasons why it's taking that long? #75,309
i'm saying it shouldn't take this long. the art and dialogue/texts exist, you have a functioning model right from the start as a reference to how things should look even if you change all the code underneath. the project itself has been going on for ~7.5 years, and it's been 3 years of pretech. it took 3.5 years from zero assets to main storyline completion, how could it possibly take almost the same amount of time to remake the game?

Summertime Saga is a game with great ideas and potential, but made by the wrong people.

If it took 4.5-ish years to write all the code (it actually took longer, but...) through to 31 March 2021 and almost all the code is being reviewed, revised, or recoded - updated and augmented for new ideas to incorporate capabilities now available in the latest version of Ren'Py while still attempting to write code for some of the things DC and Sploosh have visions for in the future, PLUS revising the code written for the implementation of the 7 pre-tech updates from 31 March 2021 to 30 October 2022 - it's going to take quite a bit of time.

Hmmm... and I have an impression that many people (like me) have another things to waste time on. I would LOVE to have 50hours per day with no-sleep cheat, but I guess we have what we have.

But hey, if somebody (like you) have time for these, you people can post a brief retelling here after each stream. I would appreciate it much.

Guys no one mention anything about the almost two-year update or the mods will remove it in a thread with 759 pages lmao

Some triple-A games get finished faster than this but let's be real if any of us were making that much money from basically nothing you would prolong it too. A few more years and his entire life is paid for.

He's making $65K - $197K a MONTH

One of the many reasons I stopped supporting or paying attention to this. He should have a team working on it for the cash he's bringing in....

Yeah that's an excellent idea but I feel like a big issue would be getting people who can still fit into the theme/style of the game.
