I'm sure there are more complete collections, but these are a few images from various sources to compare:

Man I forgot how they looked in the beginning
I like that the new style is different but subtle

Yeah, the old stuff was pretty inconsistent and really rushed. Some girls were way too orange and DC didn't bother at all drawing legs or so. I'll be really happy once all of this is replaced.

 

[Poggersq]

Do you people really think that DC cares about f95? For real, I think this is related to the fact that the abandoned tag is after two years without updates... and well... they also now that they have not release any update in the last two years

well: if he didnt care he wouldn't have said that he'd put the tech update in increments/parts.

So if it's two months per character route that's already in the game, it'll be at least 16 months of recycled content if I counted the right amount of routes (Diane, Roxxy, Mia/Helen, Eve, Teachers, Erik/Tammy, Main Story, and Maria/Tony). I'll probably check the first new update out to see how much is actually added and then forget about this game for another two years if it doesn't add anything significant.

 

[DaedusWolfe]

I came, I saw, I chuckled and then I went back to waiting for the update.


nah .. not really. I've really lost interest. I'm just here to watch the circus.

 

[Shadesishere]

To the people saying DC doesn't care : then why was DC on the site? the very day it gets slapped with an abandoned tag (before the tag hit) after being inactive for so long?
DC is aware that a site like this declaring it abandoned is going to have a knock-on effect, hence the sudden "oh we are about to drop (an extremely stripped down partial) update, see look how hard we've been working for the last 2 years..."
Couple that with his own subscribers on discord kicking up a stink and suddenly (magically) things are happening.

As I understand it, DC won't be releasing the tech update for at least another two months? That doesn't sound like anyone's rushing to get the release out.

On the plus side, at least people have their abandoned tag so maybe they can exhale and relax a little? I'm doubting they will, but there's always hope.

 

[PayneToTheMax]

And you're underestimating how much impact this site has to coomers. This isn't 2016 where F95 is some literal who website in the corner of the internet, it's a big site known to even obscure Japanese devs at this point. I'm sure DC himself doesn't give a shit, the man has a established patreon base who gives him his monthly free paycheck. But optics is important, if someone looks up Summertime Saga chances are they'll end here and when the see that "abandoned" tag their interest will drop. It's happened to every other game on this site with that tag, SS isn't immune to it.

Call me again when this place has more users than Pornhub and Youtube.

 

[PayneToTheMax]

Let it be known that I was here when this game received the abandoned tag and let it be known I will be here when DPC rushes out an update to get rid of tag

I didn't know DC and DPC are the same person. Guess that makes sense

 

[AR21]

Maybe the abandoned tag should've been slapped a year ago, this internal testing bs can't be a coincidence

Every "two months" lol you better expect delays in this pre pre pre tech update releases too

 

[FGM01]

Ah so we have a brand new tag eh? I would've yanked my support if I was a patron once I saw the recent release history, surprised more people haven't. Of course since I haven't paid a cent I can't really complain. I'll just check back again in 50 years when the game is finally done.

 

[cloud77777]

Lmao that's why I said at least 16 months. I fully expect this to take another 2+ years since it has taken them three years just to get the game to where it is now, but that's just my opinion.

 

[AkaiZero]

Oh shit it actually got the tag. I am sure the thread will die now and people will stop complaining

Hopefully

All I expect the two-month release schedule to be is minor code tweaks towards the "tech update" that should have been done years ago at this point. DC will string those out for as long as he can. People need to accept that it could be years before the Rhonda update drops, if ever.

Glad to see this game get the abandoned tag it so rightfully deserved. Will it change anything? Debatable, but it will help new people coming to the site and searching for games know the status of it.

 

[Last69!]

If we are fair it's the lack of competition that keeps this game and others like it alive.

 

[dkatryl]

Well, i guess the question of would WaL release the next update and remove its abandoned tag before this one got applied has been answered.

If I was betting, I'm not sure if I would have made or lost money on that one.

Truth. Go visit the fan art sub for this game. There are people using AI to churn out some seriously good images. I've mentioned it over there, but if anyone used that art as the foundation for a game and dropped consistent out-of-the gate releases, they'd make a mint.

 

[Envy*]

WTF..... It's the domino effect, too many games abandoned for some time now

I doubt you could actually monetize it, though, given that these AIs seem to be trained using DC's art. As of now these questions are still somewhat unanswered, but there's a huge risk that such a project would be taken down sooner or later because of copyright issues.
