@Bahamut Zero:
Well, I guess it's not wrong what the dev/Dogeek said. Right now it's mainly about the time they want to spend on the game and that's what Kevin's content will depend on. At the moment DC seems to think that his story isn't worth the time and that's why it got dropped but IF he decides to implement it, it'll likely be as mentioned and there won't be choices and there won't be new women. Either you'd play it including sex or you don't. Given that DC seems to like the idea of Kevin I'd actually guess that he'll get at least a small update at some point, but that's not the official position at the moment.

At this point, if DC and crew really want Kevin's content as part of the overall story, they may be better off saving it as a one-off for after the "final" version of the game. That would probably be disappointing for anyone who was really hoping for a Kevin update but, from the sound of things, those folks are in the minority.

I really feel a void in the main story of this game, maybe not fully develop it in one new update but adding a new step in every update I think it would be great

Her being pregnant is why you can't update her story. It won't proceed until after she not only gives birth, but stops holding the baby 24/7, which takes about an extra week. It's a long process.

DC uploaded and overall schedule some days ago . At this point the game is officially ~45% done which means 2 to 3 more years is probably a good guess. That said, those missing 55% are what DC thinks the game needs to be seen as complete, while it is certainly possible to add more content afterwards or in surprise updates in case people actually want it or DC thinks it's a good idea.


DC said a few days ago that Kevin likely won't get "his" content because nobody voted for him and it's indeed either a somewhat full update including sex or no update at all - that's why he isn't included in the new development overview. So you'll likely be disappointed, unless "public opinion" changes, but in that case I'd expect a full update including sex.
mmm...okay, 2 to 3 years is about what I figured but feared something like 4 to 5 years. Although with the money they are pulling in, I wish they had another game in production. It would be great to know if summertime saga, is not their one hit wonder and I can see them repeat their success with other games in different settings.

why can't they make updates so that we can use old saves? i don't get it. after making the game for so long do the developers still need to tweak/change earlier scenes or mechanics after every single update such that old saves don't work? i obviously have no knowledge on Ren'Py but no other game/VN i have played has this problem(not unless there are drastic changes in the game mechanics). is it really that hard?

Yes, it is that hard. To put it simply the way SS is being build they improve and add new content to all parts of the game: the beginning, the middle and not just at the ''end'' side of the code like many other games do. A save file is like a road map and when a game not just adds new roads but also changes the old ones, you need a new road map.

There's a whole post by the programmer discussing the problem .

yes i understand that much. what i don't get is why are they continuously changing the 'beginning' and 'middle' parts. i mean surely before a scene is made or story added, the developers have already planned it out and would make them accordingly. so why is it continuously being changed? maybe they are just perfectionists. anyways thanks for your input. also someone linked a subreddit on this matter so hopefully it will make things clearer. :)

Because the dude's earning more than 45000 $ monthly from SS. Is it enough, or should I add some more unnecessary words?
