Unpopular opinion :

- the main game is finished since years with the end of the main story and consists in a solid 9/10 porn game with a unique art style, sex scenes well balanced between teasing and lewdness, good writing and a lot of humor.

- Tech Update is just the remaster that no one asked, released 15 years later... but instead of being announced 15 years later, it was announced right after the end of the game development, which a marketing $uicide.

- Rhonda+Annie+Judith stories are just extra free DLC, exclusive to the remaster, but they are, and will be totally avoidable to enjoy the actual game.



People here are mad about a guy that created one of the best game on this platform, just because he takes time to enjoy the result of his work. A lot of people here seem to forget that between 2016 and 2021, he consistently updated his game with fresh quality content. 5 years working on a porn game, when it was first a solo hobbie, that became his full time job, just for you to fap.

DC never forced anyone to give him money, his game is technically free for everyone, and ppl are still complaining about how slow it is. And to be fair, if there are still ppl who subscribe his Patreon for nothing new in years, then maybe their money is in better hands with DC, because he's clearly a smart man who has understood how to win decent amount of money as an artist without forcing anyone, without promoting his game, without being rude to anyone, and without burning out.


That being said, I'm frustrated like a lot of ppl here because there is no quicker progress on this tech update. And I can understand the disappointment because it was supposed to be 6 months 1year max, and we're almost 5 years for half an update. But on the other hand I never gave him a single penny despite having played this game for 30-40hrs overall. So where my legitimacy to blame him ?

I'm not especially defending him. I'm just saying that outside the jokes on the slowness of this update, people should not forget that the game is already finished, that there is no reason to get mad about him or the game on the enhanced version he promised so far, because it honestly doesn't interfere with the original release, and again : the game is free.

There is a proverb in my country, saying "don't look a gift horse in the mouth". If you're not giving DC a single cent since 2016, and if you're not one of the 33,153 patreons, then why are you complaining exactly ?
Couldn't have said better myself.
Either stick with older version for now or just be patient.

What I find so amazing about this game is when I started playing it (2016), I was living with my parents still. IN the time between then & now, I've moved out, has two long term relationships, moved three times, bought a condo, lost the condo in a breakup, been homeless, got my dream job, recovered my life, and own a house...

and we're still at Debbie giving out handjobs on the couch.

Game was never finished. The main story has always had 2 parts: mafia and prom. Mafia was done. Prom wasn't. There were also a cast of "main girls" that were planned, being a harem and all.

Rhonda+Annie+Judith are all "main girls" and are also part of the prom storyline. They're not, nor ever were "DLC". Far from it actually.

Idk where tf this "20.16 is a finished version of the game" coming from.
I mean I guess you can close your eyes and pretend?
If all these characters weren't in the game or if they were done with their stories but the prom story wasn't done then maybe you could say it's a complete package? But that's not the case here.

20.16 is good but it's a work in progress that got abandoned. You're bending the frame around an unfinished painting to make it look finished.

You are 100% correct. I almost forgot about the prom by this point. So yeah, unlike what the guy you quoted said, the game was never actually finished. It's a shame. Should of finished this one and used new tech and such for a new game. What a long waste of talent.

You could probably start learning how to draw right now, become extremely good, make your own game, finish it, make your own game studio and start your second game and STILL this shit wouldn't be done.


Which isn't like...something I'm considering at this point...like...at all....nah, no way....or maybe...?

No, the main story was one part: to find out the truth of the death of Anon's father and that was finished 25 Mar 2021:

As as has been posted here ad nauseum, there have been 3 goals for the Summertime Saga:

1) is completed near the end of completing:
2) which is completed.
3) is not completed and is a major reason for the tech update because the coding was barely holding on as it was and...

So, to a point I agree with you. To a point I agree with the person you replied to.
A summer that lasted almost 10 years.
That's the dream, ain't it? A summer that lasts forever? Sunny days. Warm weather. Frolicking on the beach in the surf. Partying on the beach in the moonlight. Sex. Sex. More Sex.

i just thought of something with this family being ok with incest when the mc has children with all the women he's going to have in this, will his children hook up with each other, will the daughter's want to be with their father?, or will the kids breed out the incest and choose people they aren't related to?

Officially, Summertime Saga has no incest content. It was removed in 2018 with v0.15.0 so that Dark Cookie could remain on Patreon.
Also, Anon's children (whether as minors or adults) will not have lewd content. Anon could have 1, 100, 1000, etc children with the NPCs in the story - but after they are born and initial introductory content, they simply will be referenced in baby counts on the in-game NPC bios and shuttled off to the nursery never to be seen again.

Can someone give me the latest save?

And again from the previous page:
If you just want a gallery unlock, that is done without needing a save. The in-game wifi symbol. If you have further questions - See my FAQ: #80,537

the wait is always killing me, but this was a good addition again, worth waiting for those free updates !
would it been nice to have it all up and running already? sure... but hey, my life at least is busy so when it drops in minimalistic pieces I take it and just enjoy the 5 to 20 min of play every two months.
