Not OP, but I code Summertime Saga. You have no idea how much work it would be on sploosh's, catbug's, and my part to implement all the little interactions that could and should happen between the different characters. We do add little changes to dialogues here and there, but we can't do everything for each update, they take long enough as it is, and we want to release fairly regularly.

All those minor additions will be done as part of the beta for Summertime Saga, it's just polish, and as long as all the stories are not wrapped up and final, we could make polish additions that would end up being scrapped in a later update, we don't fancy working for nothing, you see.
Like I said, it is in the quote as well, I am not disputing that there is a lot of work, I 100% certain you guys are backed up with work loads. I do respect that and thanks for clarifying and updating us here on some insights of the teams's work process.

j4yj4m:


Whether someone sees the end or does not depend on expectations about content.

For example, I am interested in history and what are my options in the game as a player. And I do not see any chance that at the present pace of DC's development, it will even come close to what I expect from the SS.
Besides, I always looked at the so-called big picture. And here the SS is not defending, at least not for this moment.

Too many things need an explanation to make the whole story have some sense. Some players are completely uninterested in this, but for me the story is essential.
It will decide if for me the game will be very good or even outstanding for a product of a small amateur studio or just not bad.

@Fullcrum:

Well, one should have realistic expectations. After all it's a high paced, light hearted, high spirited (and at times a little absurd) game, so we won't go balls deep into really long dialogs, drama, murder and worse. I guess it's realistic to expect a story about similar as Roxxy's for each schoolgirl, a more or less conclusive main story and a nice prom, maybe a harem feature and a lot of fun around all those things. I mean, it's perfectly possible that it won't meet what you'd expect from a game but then again most games likely won't (except maybe some real VNs).

Has anybody considered the possibility that the main story qualifies for a phantastic cliffhanger to SS 2?

Probably not. As far as I'm aware DC said that his next game will have nothing to do with SS and nobody knows if "SS2" will ever happen.

Well from the patreon page:
DarkCookie [...] plans on doing a lotwith this game by continuing to add quality content and expand the universe (potential story expansions) over time so he's in this for the long run!
I don't know what he said recently, but this is what he said from the beginning.

Hm, I always understood it as expanding the story within the game, which is basically what happens every update. After all the text hasn't changed for years by now and we got quite a few new characters, monster girls, etc.

On stream he sad quite a few times that he's got more games in mind and that the next one won't be "Wintertime Saga" or something similar. Of course we'll know, once it happens. Though I'd personally guess that most people would be happy to get a new concept etc. once the game is actually done. It'll likely have been half a decade or more by then.

Ok, flame me but this thread is 1750+ pages. Is incest a big/central theme in this game or sort of a side/afterthought? I love me some quality incest games.

It's implied but not overt unless you use the incest patch, and even then it's only three of the dozen or so characters. So in either case I'd say no, not a central theme, but certainly present.

Well, you've technically got a mother, sister and aunt, including a threesome between mother and aunt. But as mentioned, there's no focus on incest and since the incest isn't official at the moment, there are no story elements/taboos which revolve around all the stuff that's actually connected it. So by that standard, the incest is pretty bad.

Ah. Thanks. I may still check it out given its reputation. Vanilla stuff doesn't really get me anywhere usually though.

Yeah, I mean, it's obviously a good game, but indeed quite vanilla on almost every level. It touches quite a few fetishes, but doesn't really take them that far.

There's still too much prequelitis going on right now. I'd love a whole new concept... Once Cookie gets around to it.
Seeing as DC loves the whole fantasy/monster girl thing(i.e Aqua and Daisy) you think we might get a more ethereal fantasy themed adult game from DC next?
