In the end it's probably "now" or never, each further update will make it harder and harder. It has always been a historical "flaw" of the game, but correcting it will certainly take quite a bit of time while it's technically not really neccessary. I personally don't really mind but I can already see why people would complain. Unlike those reworks before, this is indeed a luxury update - though it will comfort mobile players quite a bit.

Widescreen conversion poll! (ADDED INFO)
Would you be willing to post-pone a future update by 1 or 2 months in order to switch Summertime Saga to widescreen resolution? It would mean extending (make them bigger) all backgrounds, including locations/minigames/sex scenes/etc.
The upside of making this change:
- The game would fit better on mobile device (and most screens).
- Backgrounds and environments would look nicer.
- Characters would have more room on screen.
The downside of making this change:
- We would need to pause the development for a month or two while we fix all backgrounds and animations to fit the new widescreen resolution.
EDIT:
Clarifications:
- If we did make a widescreen transition it would be certainly after 0.20.5 (or later)
- It would apply to all platforms (OS), not just Android
- The map would also be affected, and potentially open some room for additional locations.
Polling options:
1. I would like the widescreen change! I don't mind pausing content development for a few months.
2. I don't care too much about widescreen and prefer seeing the continuation of content development.
