if you've played through all current content, see the second option 8 posts before yours #74,671 and save as a separate save slot.

FYI after the release of tech update, everyone will start at the beginning again.

Is there a reason why we would be forced to replay the game from the beginning? Isnt the game just getting updated art and nothing else?

No. Not only is the art being updated to shift the display ratio from 4:3 to 16:9, but the entire code specifically written for Summertime Saga is being revised.

Here's a breakdown on the original goals of the Tech Update. Here are the monthly reports for Dec 2023, Nov 2023, Oct 2023, Sep 2023, Aug 2023, Jul 2023, Jun 2023, May 2023 on its status.
They've said multiple times on both stream and on Discord that there will be no save compatibility between the old version and the rebuild because they're two different games at this point and that it'd be a waste of time and resources trying to force it to work.

Interesting. Well that makes more sense and sounds like once the tech update is finish it will make it easier to streamline quicker updates to the game.

I wouldn't expect updates to be any quicker than they were previously, before the tech update began (2-5 months, with an average of 3-4 months). The original goals don't even make that estimate/promise. The "speed up" is referenced to more frequent testing... not more frequent releases. Same with "tighter test cycles". Yes, in theory, that could mean quicker releases but it very rarely works out that way in the end. Even if it means internally things might speed up there's usually something that fills the void that takes up the time saved (other ideas for gameplay, different art work, etc...).
