Right now the biggest bottleneck is Stray/Coding that said there are bottlenecks within bottlenecks. Case in point the posers and QA are all part time so they can only work on the game a few hours a day if they have any time at all.
They're also all over the world being from across the U.S., UK, Russia and New Zealand, so coordinating the team isn't easy with all the different time zones, work schedules and family lives.
Also the way the game's built as it was explained by one of the posers once that there's a lot of dovetailing wherein it goes pose> review> fix> coding> review> fix> back to posing and repeat.
So at any time you have a guy who works 3-5 hours a night handing off work to a QA tester who might not wake up for another 6 hours who's also part time, who will then either A: toss it back to the poser for fixing or B: toss it to the coder and hope he's not to busy unfucking the code to be able to work on it at which point when he's done it goes back and maybe the poser isn't now to busy working on his next task to be able to work on it again.

Now if you're thinking "Gee that production pipeline's fucked they should fix that.". Well unfortunately the only one who can fix it would rather doodle than lead his team, a man who fully believes that because this system has worked for years there is no reason to change it and yes this is how things have always been done. It was just far less noticeable because One: They always had less work. Two: The team wasn't as big and so the system never had its gaping flaws exposed.

The reason DC & Sploosh haven't been working much on upcoming stuff is that they know they need Stray to reel them in and remind them of what they can and can't do in the game which is a massive problem with them where they'll cook up insane plotlines and scenes only for Stray to point out they can't make it happen with what they have, in fact a large reason for the rebuild was the feature creep was straining the game to it's very limits it simply wasn't built to handle the rig system, achievements and pregnancy system. That last one apparently was a massive issue with the coder at the time it was added so fed up of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole that he just grabbed the metaphorical sledgehammer and brute forced it which as you can imagine causes all sorts of issues with the code later on.

Which means that DC continues to produce art for the game as shown with his streams it's clear that the tech update and perhaps future updates will happen a lot faster as not only will the game be updated on a level that makes it far easier but either the next few updates afterwards will be bigger or there will be a constant stream of 1-2 month updates, if one looks on the bright side. Ofc it seems like Stray has become the real MVP given that he's the one working on the critical problem while DC and Sploosh are trying to drive off an incomplete bridge.

What IS taking so long has DC even said ? I mean truly, i have tried to scan through the post but 1000's of pages is a lot to scan. so maybe a status up date on the first page would help.

That's what the end of month status reports on DC's Patreon since May have been about - all easily found using the search function on F95. Also, these could help you:

and here's a breakdown on the original goals of the Tech Update. Here are the end of month reports for Feb 2024, Jan 2024, Dec 2023, Nov 2023, Oct 2023, Sep 2023, Aug 2023, Jul 2023, Jun 2023, May 2023 that I mentioned at the top of this post.

Cuck a doodle doo!
What's the word?
Let me guess it's almost done. Just one more billing month to go.

The one who's rewriting all the code only works 2/3 hours a day... on weekends, probably even less than that. Pretty much expected, since they're not working full-time on this project.

Judging from the previously reported monthly progress, this "tech update" will not be released anytime soon. Q2/Q3 2025 might be a potential release date.

I was wondering that question but

Summertime Saga is the game on Renpy with the most content that exists, right?

I don't think I've seen another game on renpy that's so "huge"

and with a beautiful artistic direction in terms of drawing

You have to wait a little more and have some patience for your free Summertime Saga version.

They are working hard in their studio, even if some people dont recognize effort and quality in a... fap game...

well i didn't say that because i want a new version fo the game but it's been a couple of months that this stayed in the same version.

just wanted an update, that's all ! no need for sarcasm...

i have seen so many porn games left by their developpers because they were getting tired of doing this

i like this game btw and i think it's a great game

There isn't even a paid version at this point and that includes people who waited patiently for years at this point.

The funny thing is the whole time they could’ve gotten a Unity build out that would solve a lot of the issues they face in rigging 16:9 resolution support to so many damn scenes that accumulated over time. Renpy is not built to be functionally friendly for a library’s worth of sandbox scenes.
