Any news since the abandoned tag was applied here? Been a while since I played and it's such a shame, even though MC hooked up with pretty much anyone on 2 legs, there was still a lot of interesting potential for character stuff.

Like, sure we hooked up with everyone but a lot of them were in isolation. Not much crossover between the ladies. Only the briefest glimpses of it, like Eve and Roxy bonding in detention. This game needed more of that. Only girl to even meet MC's mom was Roxy. I would love to see more stuff like that. Or Eve finding out MC slept with her sister and goth friend, and all of them having to deal with that. Improving Eve and Grace's relationship. Whatshername Lin being introduced to some of the other characters. Same with Mia, who barely interacted with anyone. The nice daycare milf who you start to have a back and forth with, that needs more development. Your friend's hot mom. More Becca relationship, not just as Roxy's friend. Nothing ever came of the milking station yet either iirc.

These are the sort of things that I remember wanting to see, and the previous writing in the game would've been more than up to the challenge. Don't know if it still is.

We haven't actually hooked up with everyone, there's still many characters that have had zero or very little content, but I share exactly the same sentiment, having more characters intertwine and interact with eachother would be great for many reasons, especially potential scenes and general liveliness of the game.

It's never happening though, at least on the scale we'd like to see. DC is already having a hard time with isolated questlines.

Man what a waste. This was a legit good game. Before the hiatus I remember there being fairly regular updates, i.e. every month or 2. Loved the art and I thought the story was pretty decent. Now I just get left with sour feelings for this dev. Should be criminal to collect for an extended period of time while giving progress updates and then just abandon. Tech update my ass. Even if a release happens, less than double or triple the content would not make up for it.

If there are then they're all slipping my mind. Except for that thicc classmate from early on, she's the only one I can remember who barely got any attention. I remember there was one teacher who had a thing for Mia, maybe she could also be interested in some of the other students.

Has DC said he's having trouble? I'm sure there are a ton of people who'd be happy to come help with the writing if necessary.

There's some other characters like the moms of certain school characters, characters who have a little content but need more, like the lifeguard and the nun, and there's also recently added characters that don't have any content yet.

So there are plenty of characters we haven't hooked up with. It's going to be very long before Summertime Saga is feature complete.

Overhauling the game has taken them close to 3 years (?) and isn't going to be done anytime soon when it was supposed to only take ~4 months. DC has never been good at managing, in fact he's terrible at it and admits he just wants to draw.

The struggle is self-evident. We're never gonna get anything other than isolated quests, at least with the characters that already have content.

I think you and a lot of other people on here underestimate just how ambitious the game really is. If were really that simple why aren't there more? Name 10 completed 2d sandbox adult visual novels of the same quality. Hell, name 5. Hell, name any.

DC is the top adult game developer on Patreon in terms of the number of paid subscribers. There are a couple who rank higher in terms of dollar amount.

DC does not bring in $2 million per year. Per data collected by Graphtreon, based upon past performance of average subscription amount per paid subscriber, DC has never made even $1 million per year from Patreon subscribers - his single best month was about $80,000.

I am not denying the thrust of your post - I am simply making sure that there is a better understanding of the data.
Right now, there's no significant change. It's within expectations based upon the performance of his numbers over the past year.

Not counting Japanese games. Name 10 western-made games, same requirements. Also, cannot be from the same series. You have 1 so far.

This is silly.

1. Players can tell good AI and poor AI art apart. It's easy to tell who is relying entirely on AI, and who is using it to improve on their work;

2. You're not against the second, because every developer uses it. Every digital tool is using AI and that precedes the emergence of AI-generated art;

3. The overwhelming majority of porn games is 3D, relying on Daz, Koikatsu and Honey Select, among other tools. In the majority of cases, devs are basically playing with dolls. I don't see why 2D devs should be put to a higher standard.

4. It's a porn game. It really doesn't take that much talent to jack one off. There's enough devs out there who seem to forget this simple fact.

if DC is lazy, despite drawing all his shit himself, then what would someone be who doesn't even put in the minimum effort that DC does?

I don't want to rub one out to something a fucking computer made. How hard is that for people to understand? AI has no place in porn OR human art in general. I will never accept AI art, deepfakes, or AI voice overs in any capacity. These things are not a tool, they are a crutch, a cost cutting scheme and malicious in nature.
