You was claiming high costs, even stating exabytes, and me calling that out isn't being contrarian.

I never claimed high costs - I have always claimed costs, period. Costs that people don't consider when they start their whinging on and on about how much DC's Patreon account brings in. You called me out on petabytes, not my other claim of possible exabytes. The exabytes claim which I already admitted I made a mistake about because of doing the math in my head and misplacing zeros, at the same time standing my ground on petabytes. I showed my sources from how I got my estimates - you didn't refute them then once I showed you, but do so now. You didn't offer any sources or any numbers to refute. You keep moving the goal posts, I get it. I get it.

I stand by my estimates based upon the data I have found. You simply saying "I don't believe it" without offering any sources in opposition doesn't further the conversation nor does it seek to find a common ground between the sides - we're at an impasse and so I won't waste any more of my time. Enjoy your day.

Projection is a terrible reflection of ones self-evaluation.

Nope, it wasn't supposed to be 3 updates per year. It has always been about releasing an update when they think it's ready.

After the 6th pre-tech update, they decided to nix them and focus strictly on the tech update.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
They've decided to share monthly written reports on Patreon about how the tech update is going until it is finally released. No, they don't know when and the subscribers know that it is going to be awhile. In the meantime, DC continues to stream regularly on Picarto working on art for other updates and ideas for the game while the poser and coding staff work through their bottlenecked tasks, since the art is considered complete for the tech update.

Finally, see #10 here for the link to 29 May's report: #71,087

I see you know a lot. I've been wondering for a long time where the Summertime Saga website's server is. I like the structure of the website, but I don't see the developer, the location. I have seen websites with a similar structure. The site must also allow adult content.

The tech update, while probably being necesarry at some point to implement, has been and continues to be a shitshow and a pretty big embarrassement.

I'm at the beginning of the game. I saw that there are also new scenes in the technical upload. What's wrong with the scenes?

The tech update isn't released and is taking (so far) 4 to 8 times longer than initially expected. That is why it is considered a shitshow and pretty big embarrassment. There isn't expected to be new content in the tech update when it is released, but some new locations and some select reworked art - as well as the display ratio changed from 4:3 to 16:9. Read #10 in my FAQ here: #71,087 to find a link to what was originally planned and what the 29 May report says is the current status of the tech update.

The nameserver for both the public website and the supporter website (kompasproductions) is Cloudflare - and most likely at least one of the servers the website hosting service uses would be in the United States with redundancy servers in several other countries, as is usually the case with web hosting companies. The adult content that is seen in Summertime Saga is legal and allowed in many countries around the world, so hosting the site wouldn't be an issue. Anyway, the content

Is the dev still working alone, or has he hired someone to help with the more tech stuff?
Click to expand...
The developer hasn't been working alone for quite a few years (years before the tech update was started) including a writer, several art posers, and a coder. Is this simply asked for one of your three posts required to be able to post links in the forums?

Unless he changes his mind, he's at the level of staff he wants to work on the game. He's had several coders in the past (including himself) which have created a hodge-podge of code - and one of the tech update goals is to bring the code into one style, etc which hopefully makes it less of a hassle to continue to add new code for new content. At the same time, there is the mobile market he is considering since it's his largest audience share - so there's some consideration in the coding for that, as well.

I was truly curious. I should have checked first thought, but yeah, it was also the three required posts.

People are acting in here like this is Innocent Witches where after 7 years there's barely ANY content at all.
Click to expand...
I agree that since they've started on this tech update endeavor, there's been barely any NEW content at all.
As for the entirety of the project, there's a mountain-load of content. I remember when I first played this, it took me over three weeks until I ran out of routes to clear. Other games I've played here only lasted a few hours, maybe an afternoon.
Don't know what you played, but it wasn't SS.

He has always tried to save time (because time is precious). He can't be sick every eight days, so there is the "tech update", which will let you be well as he have to :)
