Am I actually seeing this correctly? Update 21.0.0 is basically a reboot and all saves from 0.20.16 are useless?

Also, this "new game" only has a few scenes at the beginning?

They have scrambled to release what little conversion they've actually done over the last two years and, surprise, turns out it wasn't much.

Now watch people make Pikachu faces when the plan of "releasing it in parts every couple months" turns out as accurate as the original "the tech update will take us 3-4 months to complete". :sneaky:

I think the last thing we should do now is hate the game. It has received a tech update and DarkCookie will now gradually bring back the old content in a new edition. Anyone who has played the old content will see that a lot has changed in terms of the story. For example, when you meet Erik for the first time, Mrs. Johnson comes out of the house and hands him the lunchbox. These scenes are drawn with great attention to detail. Or when you meet Mia for the first time in front of the school, how the picture then takes on a new perspective and you see Mia looking at the bus, then she turns around and looks at the main character. These scenes turned out great and correspond to the quality of a DarkCookie.

To be honest, I thought that DC would copy every scene 1:1, the fact that they are inserting whole new scenes into the story is just a great thing. And yes... DarkCookie took a long time and the update is still not completely finished. You can go into all the buildings, you can buy everything. It's basically been remade at the beginning, just with more content in the initial story.

Unfortunately, the Ronda update will come much later, if he now delivers the old content in a new version every 2 months. But then he'll at least have a basic framework and will then concentrate on the new storylines. And if he dares to do another poll about whether he should do a 4k tech update, then stop voting for it. We don't have DarkCookie to thank for the tech update, but his Patreons who voted for it and it got the most votes. So DC was just trying to implement what they "wanted". A game that was so far advanced... well... let's put it this way... it should have been clear to every Patreon that such a tech update would take time. With the new scenes, he has redeemed himself for me.

I've supported him again on Patreon. But... if he doesn't deliver in two months and it takes longer again, then I'll stop it immediately.

I'm going to try to say this with all the respect in the world, YOU, people like you are the problem, people like you are the reason Darkcookie can spend 2 years just scratching his own scrotum and pretending he's developing something.

Shouldn't we hate the game right now? Did DC draw "new" scenes and with extreme detail? Friend, have you seen the proportions of some characters like Jenny? She looks like the worms from the movie MIB with two hot air balloons attached to her body, and with fingers so thin that they could be used in prostate exams for those who give money to this crap game, not to mention scenes that are literally just mirrors of the original or that are only the template for the highlighted character.

Unfortunately Rhonda's update will come later? Friend, forget Rhonda, forget Judith, forget any character for the next 4 years, do you really want to give money to this guy who in his last post said in so many words "I don't care about this shit", if you want to spend money that bad in breasts, I recommend you look for a prostitute, I guarantee you will have much more fun than with this game that has no sound, no gameplay, no content, no dialogue and no love.

Everyone knows that the "UPDATE" came out just because of the abandoned tag, they want to keep their simps and stole all the money they can while they can. its sad because a lot of people is still defending this scam for some reason, they still have a lot of patreon.
is like if someone was paying for prime video and they had 5 tv shows on the platform and they say "oh yes, we are going to realese 2 more tv shows soon" and you wait 2 years paying the subscription waiting for those 2 new tv show and instead of that,they delete 4 out of the 5 tv shows... (i dont know any that dumb to pay for something they are not consuming anymore...)

My honest opinion is DarkCookie hadn't the slightest idea what a tech update would actually look like in the grand scheme of things, but once you are years in, it's almost just a sunk-cost fallacy at a certain point.

I think he should have done as some devs do and if the technical limitations are being hit, you break the game up into multiple part exes. I know that kills some of the sandbox of the game, but it has to be better than remaking the game from the ground up. Oh well, here is where Dark Cookie is at and he is going to have to make some tough decisions.

I think old reviews should be removed, after 8 years, the devs trying to create a new game.

I think this game should receive the titles it deserves, some moderator should put the abandoned tag back, leave the title as Summertime Saga 0.20.16 and then create another thread with the name Summertime Saga Reboot version 0.1.0. or Summertime Reboot Saga.

Some people here dont seem to know why this tech update happend.

Its a attempt by DC to fix his broken game issues and to update the engine and have a larger screen.

Was this all worth the wait? NO. He should have finished the game how it was. People just want character routes finished and a end for the main story line.

For me it hurt the most seeing Mom debbie with 8 year old art and no pregnancy YET. While Jenny the devs little cunt princess has new art with a already finished story line with new art.

If he was going to do all this he could have atleast fully fixed Debbie I dont care she lost a vote on patreon 2000 years ago.

Conclusion DC has no clue what he is doing and does not want to hire extra help. This game is going nowhere.

Every site i checked thinks this update was because of the tag here,even 4chan.
The cultists fanboys will tell you otherwise through,"the game is popular because of pornhub" btw:KEK:

Yea... I always thought he didn't care about the abandoned tag here, but with how rushed this whole thing feels it's really hard to argue against it.
