Next to that you may have a look here to compare a few more characters.

Feels like a blast from the past. On the one hand, spend more than a few seconds looking at OldEve and you can see exactly why she had to be redesigned: terrible proportions, lousy shading, dead gaze, and so on. On the other hand, she actually looks like someone that could be your classmate, as opposed to the airbrushed Hot Topic model that is NewEve. That's without getting into the radical personality flip that changed her from a confident member of a gang of street rappers into a wilting wallflower.

It follows the trend in DC's redesigns, unfortunately. The new characters are artistically superior, but lack a certain charm. Maybe that's why I prefer Grace over Eve, since her redesign stuck closer to the original model:

If by charm you mean a year of meth. Seriously, that's the difference between the redesigns of Grace and Eve and what they used to look like. Take the new designs, apply meth, bang you get the old designs.

if you haven't played in 1.5 years congrats, it's the same game still

 

[soyjari]

[kjj308]

Wow, every now and then I take a peek in here, and STILL no update. It amazes me there are probably still people giving them money, lol. Like, when will they learn?

Old characters had something. They had character. Remade ones are polished Disney random bland cute nothingness.

GTA 6 will be released in a year and 8 months (if they manage to keep up with the deadline). The infamous tech update alone has taken more than that.

 

[LEIFdl]

Idk the history of this game or anything, but when it was active how did he decide which character to do next? It seems crazy that there isn't Annie content.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that DC didn't really have a real concept for her story back when he added her and the whole rap mini game. I'd ageee that it would have been nice if they had made the effort to recreate Eve's connection to that group eventually.

Eve is certainly the most extreme case, but when it's about the others, I don't really get that vibe, tbh. In general I'd say there's a a differnce between these very early designs, like most main girls and those, which were introduced a bit later, like Grace. As such there was a lot less to change, as the later characters were actually designed a lot better in the first place.

Especially when it comes to Ronda or Annie the reworks were desperately needed and I don't understand how anybody could prefer the old design for any reason.

Edit: I mean, that ( see below) is just nothing, you could seriously release in 2024:

His patrons do get a vote and as such Annie just wasn't popular enough. Once the tech update is done, the following updates will be for Ronda, Annie and Judith, though.

Patrons' poll.

And one fine day Patrons voted the tech-update, because the Dude told them: "it will be a fast update - just a couple of months. Pinky swear".

I'm not joking.

 

[srksrk 68]

But don

No one's directly paying DC for a product. Summertime saga is and has always been free. It's crazy how you people just can't seem to comprehend that simple detail that changes this entire discussion.

If you're gonna regurgitate the same surface level complaining then at least do it right.

But don't you see? If people would not constantly complain over and over and over and over and over again, this game would not have been abandoned for only one but three years already. Seriously.

You may not be joking but you are not quite right either. People did not vote for tech update in the first place. But he'd let them vote again and he did do the tech update nontheless.

And yet, you are. You use quotation marks as if you are quoting the dev, but you are simply being cheeky. You're being facetious. His own words damn him enough, but you don't use them, do you? So yes, you are joking.

Actual wording can be found here: #51,839, but here's the 'short version.'

For those who watch the daily stream, you've most likely heard me talk about a potential "tech update" that would convert Summertime Saga into widescreen, expand the map a bit and solve a lot of gameplay issues.​

​

The game needs this, but it requires a bit of time to implement and the sooner we do it, the better. However, that would obviously mean that we push back the Rhonda update.​

​

So, which update would you rather see be done first?... [list of initial goals of the tech update and Rhonda update]...​

​

Both update choice will take roughly the same amount of time (3 to 4 months) to complete.​

​

The benefit of the tech update is that it solves issues now, instead of more to fix later (but also adds some sex scenes to existing characters). The benefit of Rhonda's update, is a lot of new story content.​

​

Make sure you read all the content for both updates and cast your vote!​

​

Thanks for your input ^-^ <3​

-DC​

Yes, DC was ridiculously naive or unaware of just what this tech update would entail. And yes, his own words damn his intent and his inability to estimate expectations.

returning here after years, is the judith path completed?
