The author seems to belong to the club where founding members are Aorta and Lemonkey ( Secret and Mirror mine).This is a restyling that rhymes with milking however new, old problems remained, Let's expect at least 60 updates before the end, if that will happen

Yes, but most links are broken. I only have versions 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5. That's why I'm asking this question. The early versions, 0.1-0.10, including betas and test versions, are not available on the site. The Mega links are broken, and the pages started versioning from version 0.15. Instead of suggesting to 'Google the links', please just ignore my question.

We don't know what you have already done. Had you prefaced your question with what you replied to my response ... you would not have gotten my initial response.

We deal with so many people who do not do the initial legwork first before they ask for others to spoon feed them that we start with the most basic response and the vast majority of the time, that is what the person needed. This is not the first time this question had been asked, by the way: #63,209 is just one example and it is obvious they hadn't done the first step themselves.

Most links are going to be broken. File hosts don't usually keep files that people don't download after certain periods of time. But not all of them are going to be broken.

Had you stated up front what you had and what you are still looking for - I would have likely ignored your question. Or offered this:

You must be registered to see the links

​

Now, quite a few of the links are dead - however. you can find still live file host links for v0.10.0 and up. Not v0.1.0 - v0.9.0 - but it may fill in a few holes. Also, there is not that much difference between v0.5 and v0.10 (same with missing v0.2.0 and v0.4.0).​

​

As for pre v0.10.0 - you might try to seek fans in their discord by asking properly about sharing historical versions for archiving purposes, because I would assume asking for downloads prior to v0.15.0 is a no-no in their discord channels.​

​

Or hope that McSlut sees your request -- because of all the people who chat in this thread, they are the one most likely who would have archived all the releases through all their various previous identities.​

DC doesn't make fun of anyone, just he takes advantage of idiots and this capitalist world.

Why finish a game when you've proven that you can effectively start the whole thing over from scratch, work as slowly as possible on it, and still have people pay you dividends?

Thank you for your help and response. What I meant was that when making any kind of query, of any nature, it's not necessary to go back to a Linux forum from 1999. I had forgotten about the Wayback Machine - I searched on Archive.org but there were only current builds and releases. I started with this game around 2022, 2023, and as a software developer, I like to see how things progress from their beginnings. I will recopilate the releases I have in a Google Drive in case you'd like to collaborate. Thank you very much.

Wait a minute.
I haven't followed this game in about a year and now I see it's being redone?
Am I understanding this correctly?

Yes. As it has been for the past 46 months.

Yeah, he started in 2022 with the "new tech update", here´s the summary;

Is trash.

DC is just milking the patrons, im quite sure it´s not easy to draw good quality pictures, but c´mon.... one pic every two weeks? it´s like he´s fapping while doing the stream, he´s taking too long, the main story is already over and we are only waiting for the update of the other characters, but all of sudden he´s saying "ooooh, we need another tech update, it´s not working", bro, there has been other programmers who looked at the game code and even the new tech is bad, here´s another yandere dev guy who loves free money.

Imo DC is getting scammed when it comes to programming. His main programmer/posers don't really do their job.. that or they're just bad at it. DC is just not competent enough to notice. Some of the features look nice, but in reality, nobody cared for them.. and implementing them first takes time from restoring storylines.. it really feels like it's being dragged out for prolonging the development. If DC is happy with whatever his programmers provide, why bother in doing stuff as efficient as possible?
That's me assuming that DC isn't prolonging this himself.. But it does look like his team is badly managed and just taking their time in doing things.. I mean, if your programmer is so slow it takes YEARS, why not replace him? I've heard about his programmer not wanting help because that would more difficult to code the game so he's going solo. Where's the logic in that? By that logic bigger indie games couldn't exist just because it would be difficult to code..

Here is my question: Were you happy with this game before he started reworking it? I know the answer, but I'm still asking. The only real reason he is doing this is to milk the patrons further. Just spend more time to essentially reach the same point in the game that he had already reached a long time back. This is why I respect NLT media even if I'm not the biggest fan of their sex scenes. They have a correct idea where they want the story to go and release updates according to a schedule. Even if I don't like genesis order, I respect their commitment
Edit: summertime saga was already popular even without any reworks. It's one of the most popular games out there. Meaning, the players like it for what it is. So this "fixing" is just stalling for time

I liked it. I mean it was a great story driven game. All I wanted was the finished stories of all characters. Don't know whose idea was to do this "tech update".. but it sure was stupid.. How about you complete the game, then.. and hear me out on this.. do summertime saga 2.. a prequel or sequel. That way you'd have a new story to play with, your "tech update" and no drama to play with..

And this is where the problem is: if the Dude wants to deliver a new character arc, well... the Dude has to work on it.

Didn't you realise that since 2018 the Dude has been making 99,99% of the game pics only while streaming?

Making Summertime saga 2 would solved all the problems,leaving the original shitty coding behind and making the new one with the new "tech".
Of course this is just a big WHAT IF,is too late now.
