It is listen on 20.8 on the news page of the site, that:

"

20.8 status update:

You're probably wondering why some of the progress stalled about 3 weeks ago and the reason is one of our devs (Posing) had to suddenly step away from the project. It unfortunately happened as we were wrapping up the content and had to halt the progress until we found replacement.

The good news is we tested new candidates and found 2 new devs who will be starting this week! Hopefully we can get the update back on track to wrap it up as soon as possible for you all to enjoy.

Art was done a little while back and writing will be done this week so we should be moving on to the following tech update in the meantime.

Sorry about this delay, I'm aware some of you are anxious to play the new content. :<

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Map changes in tech update:

The image above shows what I've been working on during daily streams (for those who haven't watched). The tech update changes the game widescreen ratio which opens up room for additional locations on the minimap.

We've added:

  • Lighthouse
  • Bar
  • 3 homes
  • Museum
  • Arcade and Bowling hall
  • Stadium
  • Expanded trailer park and forest area
In contrast with the very first minimap (0.01), things have changed a lot! Most locations were not even accessible .^-^

I will be streaming all week for future update content, so tune in!

-DC <3"

Well, yes, the next update will be 0.20.8 and the new map will be part of the tech update, which is the update that will happen after 0.20.8. Just as is written in the text you are qouting.
Is there a town hall or does the museum act as one?
As far as I recall it DC didn't really want a town hall. I mean, Rump's part of the story seems already done by now and the new map will only be released after the main story is fully done.

So how does pregnancy effect the game? after the progress is done, everything is gonna be allright with that pregnant character? So only problem is that her route stops for some time?

Pretty much so.

Character getting pregnant.
Can't have sex for a while. Except some characters like Maria that include preg-sex.
Labor.
Can't have sex for a while. (Mom and Baby interaction).
Baby sent to Lucy's daycare.
Can have sex again.

For those of you following closer than I have been:
I get that the art will need to be adjusted for the tech update, but is there a bunch of other stuff that also needs to be done? I imagine re-posing a lot of things, but will they have to do a bunch of code work for it?

Make your bets when, April fools day?
Historically testing takes about two weeks I believe.

^ Coding the girls shouldn't be that hard. Re-coding most of the game to fix the save comp and the rest of the stuff listed in the poll will.

They're going to have to re-pose virtually the entire game to account for the added screen space, which I imagine is why they brought on two new posers to replace the one that left. That's characters, mini-games, dialogue boxes, the works. They also need to convert every character to the rig system so that they get rid of all the awkward moments where characters change appearance between conversations. That includes like 80-90% of the MC's art and at least half of the total cast. I haven't done any programming in years, but I'd bet that the coding team is going to find it easier to rewrite the game from scratch rather than leave the Frankenstein-like construction that SS has turned into.

Basically, plan on getting the tech update sometime in early-to-mid October.

yeah it should only have an effect on your penis if you're into that sort of thing. seeing nude preggo grace in the bathroom is honestly one of the best sights in the game and it's entirely missable

I'm almost sure that's not planned for the tech update. The art, which is still not on the rig will remain as it is, until the remaining stories get their rework - that basically includes Debbie, Erik, Mia, the teachers, Roxxy and Aqua.

Else DC already hinted that they may keep the old sex scenes of these stories in 4:3, too, until they get replaced.

You’ll get part 1 of the Tech update in early-to-mid October.

I'm looking forward to this update, if they finally deliver it as I hope they do, I will return to fund the dev (stopped a long while ago).
