What the hell happen here. I knew this game since 2018 and considered playing it. This game hasn't been updated for a year? Anyone knows why?

This game has been in a patreon milking state for years now. It just doesn't have the abandoned tag due to F95 rules and that's it. I would advice you to play it now.
You can also wait (potentially forever) for an update.
Or you can count percentages on the Patreon progress bar, it's very entertaining, even more so when it's counting backwards.

Is there more? Gifs and videos? In there are about 70 diferent mini videos/or gifs, but they had numbers as names as from 280 to 325. This means theres other 280 more older animations not present in that kimono link?

There is 2 more mega links as patreon replies but they didn't get imported to Kemono, only the published posts of Dildorog did.

You must be registered to see the links

Have to Lock it because that ain't happening. I'm waiting till the mods finally put abandoned on this thread and we can all move on

People won't move on though, they'll keep coming into this thread whining that they haven't got the new update for free yet still even after a forum that DC doesn't use marked the thread for his game as "abandoned". It's the same stupid cycle with all games that have long "development" times and entitled whiny children who want things for free as fast as possible.

I decided to replay this classic, but I think I messed up. I'm at the mission with Aunt Diane where I'm supposed to buy pesticides for her garden. But unfortunately I had bought them previously and I can't buy them again as long as I have them in my inventory. How do I overcome this problem? Do I have to replay it from the beginning?

Thanks

There will be no more releases for Summertime Saga.

(...)

Now consider this date and remember that he sold the TU to paypigs as something that'll take "3-4 months to complete".

(2) Across these 3 years the number of paypigs dropped when he nearly stopped simulating the project is alive but once he started putting on the theatre of wallpapers, word salads, empty words, etc. the imbeciles came right back. Today he has MORE supporters than he did when the TU vaporware started.

(...) He can break his promises not once or twice over but ~10 times over and the paypigs won't budge. They will cling to hope like a drunk to his bottle so there is no end in sight to how much can be milked out of them. DC literally made more money by NOT delivering anything of value over the last 3 years than he did by delivering the whole of SS' stories in the years before that. So paypigs provide a STRONG financial incentive (we're literally talking millions of $) for DC to continue doing what he's doing and continue delivering what they actually paid for (i.e. hope).

At the same time, there are continuously rising risks in ever delivering the TU or any other future SS releases.

(5) The expectations his paypigs now nurture for the TU & future releases are now so intense they're practically bombs. There is no way in Hell these expectations can be met. If the TU is delivered as promised (i.e. no new story, just a behind-the-scenes update) the disappointment will detonate. Even with Rhonda's story baked in it will still be an immense disappointment because the paypigs will be faced with the reality of what their money actually bought. There was no serious work on the engine or anything DC promised. The paypigs will just be faced with a big turd they paid dearly for.

(...)

(...) ensures there will be a LOT of unhappy paypigs wanting some revenge while (6) ensures there's a litany of reasons why SS can be banned under the latest rules.

Instead of running the risk of releasing, DC is presented every day with the alternative:
Keep doing what you're doing.
Predictably cash in at least one more million $ in the next 1-2 years by doing nearly nothing.
Then vanish with nothing bad attached to your real name.

This is why you will never see another SS release. Either the risks or the incentive to get money with nearly no work would've been enough to ensure the project has no real future. When you combine the two there is no chance in Hell.

In fact, the best strategy DC can take is to get himself banned when the money well runs dry. Then he can say "Patreon did it", whine a bit about how he was "SO CLOSE" and then vanish.

Is it actually okay in this forum to refer to paying Patreons as “paypigs”?
They are even compared to alcoholics who can't get off the bottle.
Personally, I have never supported THIS game, but others and I wouldn't like to read
someone calling me "paypig" just because I made the decision to support a developer or their game.
Ultimately, it is a personal decision whether and how someone spends their money.

And to call the update "vaporware" is not entirely correct in my opinion,
that would be it if there were only promises without proof of progress,
but DC releases new images, even streams him painting them.
There are also progress indicators on the website.
(I know this information may not correspond to reality)

(25 Changes in the last 24 hours - sounds like they're making some progress)

An incitement to stop all payments would result in the game being
developed EVEN more slowly or even being discontinued.

There are a few sentences in manneychin's post that remind me
of statements like those made by conspiracy theorists. :geek:

If you think the devs care enough about this site to bother making false reviews, you're dead wrong. Any positive reviews left are from people who sincerely like the game. The game itself is still held in fairly high regard. The shit show in the thread is because this mother fucker hasn't had a major update for like 3 years and when it finally does, it won't add any substantial new content.

Realistically all payments would not stop purely because of the amount of people who have just forgotten about their sub. Now its been shown alot of times that if a devs subs drop a lot during milking they usually release something faster to recover not what you suggest.
Yes some devs stop development when their subs drop too low but this game is not in any danger of that given its current numbers.
