They are slow, but hand drawing the art is going to be way slower than doing it digitally. And they don't really charge for anything, so it's not like they are holding people hostage for pledges.

Exactly. The game is free. Unlike other games you dont even need this site to play it. Do t her me wrong I love and apareciate the community but just be patient The update will come soon. To pass the time go play other games on this site or bit the gym. Keep your fap game strong.

Until now the art has become the main problem. Only when the art is finished the finial posing/coding etc. can be done. And finding someone who can draw things to a standard DC likes without him having to rework everything to his taste and who is more or less affordable hasn't worked until now.

DC is indeed working a lot but if you follow his streams you'll see that even smaller scene/setting/background/pose can take hours to draw, even though he's already very efficient while drawing at it.

So all we can basically do is hope that he'll fine someone who can really emulate his style and fits into the team well.

Now that the art is done, new version should be up in a day or two.

Yea, right... Posing + Coding + Audio + Testing

Now that the art is done, new version should be up in a day or two.

Try more like two weeks since coding can barely do a task a day and you still need bug testing and posing.

 

[anonnom]

unless you want to help find bugs, i would wait for the bug fix version that usually follows a release.

Not true.. most games have little things to be implemented. take big brother or Dreams of desire for example.. Each update is MUCH smaller ( in terms of mb and gb) than SS updates.

And it will take AT LEAST 1.5 weeks for them to finish it. Not 2 days lol

 

[rle68]

i asked this question once before and ill ask it again.. if your not contributing to DC .. why do you care it takes time to update? i can accept some complaints if you donate but if your not.. then ease up its a free game why are you complaining?

one of the best games out there and i dont like everything about it but its still the best i have seen so far

[Re-4Andrew]

I don't thinks it 's people complaining. But they do insist on mentioning updates. The game is no different then any other I play when it comes to updates, usually takes DC and the team a month to release another version. It also depends on the content added, DC will sometimes add extra content for future quests. And the next update is a revamp involving the mother, so that is going to take time.

And DC is generous in making the most recent update public. Something a lot of developers refuse to do, and yes I get why they choose to do that.

I don't think that it's taking too long but I think your point is very bad.

You're assuming the people complaining aren't contributing but most importantly constructive criticism is always valid.

Someone made a point that it takes long compared to other popular games. What other popular game has this much detail per update?

I remember when the maker of Queen Opala had this ongoing excuse for about a year that there where delays because they couldn't get much sleep because of construction nearby, what an awful excuse, imagine going to your employer "sorry I've barely been working for the past few months but there's construction going on".

what games are being updated faster than Summertime Saga?

 

[Obuttma]

yeah.. agree we shouldn't rush good projects like this game.

We all know how that mentality works with commercial games (for those who dont know, rushing is not good for the quality of the game).

Busy yourself with something else for a while. Learn Japanese for example.

Japan has been pumping a lot of H-games almost everyday.

 

[User_215882]

Apart from DoD, Summertime saga is one of the few games that comes out with minimum bugs and a quick fix. The only negative for me is having to replay the game from scratch. Which is why I wait a couple of updates so that theres a nice chunk of new stuff.

 

[PatreonTed]

what games are being updated faster than Summertime Saga?

SS is my favourite game, but I find the updates quite slow. Other than the surprise Halloween update, there is at least 6 weeks between updates.

 

[j4yj4m]

what games are being updated faster than Summertime Saga?

Most of them to be honest. Usually devs try to squeeze in at least one update per month to keep their patreons who pay every month happy. DC usually needs 6 to 8 weeks per update.

In his case he's providing almost daily streams though and lets viewers decide a lot of small things which is something at least I value a lot and that's something I like to spend some money on.

 

[jcamby]

The main issue with the length is probably the art. He draws it all himself and it's all pretty well detailed. Other games can just crank updates out faster because they either use 3D model assets that they can just pose and move on (most of the other games on the site) or have WAY less detailed art [COUGH] A Town Uncovered [COUGH].

I don't really have a problem with the update size necessarily. From what I've seen on the streams, this update should be a nicely sizeable chunk of content for Mom, and she's my favourite route in the game. I'll never say no to some more build up and scenes in her route.

But yeah, I will admit that when it comes time for an update for a character/route that I don't particularly care for, then it could bother me, but it hasn't yet. So whatever. I'll shut up now.

This is a good point that should remain on everyones mind. also I felt wierd about the blue skinned fish girl. I'm not really a furry but.....ever since Mass Effect sorta shoved my foot in that door femine blue woman kinda seem to do it for me.

Also come on. Christmas....I wouldn't put it past them to sneak in a simple christmas outfit on someone for a bit of Krampus Rumpus.
