That is not a preview for anything. There's just nothing of relevance to see on Discord, and most of the chat seems to be about game bugs, Patreon rules, or the generic social media trashtalk and conspiracy theories.

And if this update contains 2-3 years of work, and they haven't even tested it - wouldn't exactly hold my breath.
Remember we already passed the first of 52 weeks until new year 2026.
To my understanding, the development has stopped at some point in the past, so I don't think we will get 2 to 3 years worth of art. That's why I will wait for the new update to make a decision on supporting or not the streams is a positive aspect that will affect this decision because I can see him working, and he replies to comments while he draws on his streams

Hopefully this stream thing becomes a standard for other developers if we all help this game get more popular, that way scummy developers can't hide behind bullshit excuses.
That's not really a guarantee of anything though, especially in the case of Summertime Saga...

That's why in the first post I say we all know how porn gave devs can be, and I say hopefully the streams can become a positive trend. Personally, if I can see work been made and the updates are coming to a reasonable time, considering he works alone, I will start paying. The moment the progress stops, or he disappears, I stop paying, simple as that.

What do you imagine 2-3 years of work would look like in your opinion?

Well said, as literally everyone should.

The new version was sent to testers, we've been going through all the content, raised some bugs, and the devs are just working on fixing and polishing. Not sure what you guys are expecting to see here. Just wait, it's not that you're paying for getting anything in return :)
any updates?

Still fixing the bug.
After revamping the entire game.
The game is much steadier than the old version.
But many code bugs still linger around.
Currently, fixing is a main priority and many of us give opinionson how to fix and how to improve combat in the future.

:D
Some bud is very funnier...when the city guard is much worse than bandit in the map lol.

Three weeks later...

TBH after seeing that five streams - each probably 2 hours long - were showing the same scene being edited and animated? I'm not really surprised how long the update is taking.

One thing when working professionally is that you need to find a medium ground between quality and quantity. Otherwise this game still won't be finished before GTA IX and half the playerbase is old enough for a retirement home

I agree with what you say about quality and quantity. Tjop's style is hyperrealistic 2d art. And although it's beautiful, it takes a lot f time to draw one scene, let alone animate it. Personally, I'm happy to wait for high-end quality drawings and if the result pleases me, maybe starting supporting him again ''if he doesn't despair again''
PS: I asked him wtf dose Tjop mean, and apparently it means ''The joy of painting'' and if you look at his art it tracks.

Any new updates on the game so far?
Most recent comment on the discord server.

"Sorry for the slow response. We collected a ton of feedback from the testing. Most of the code and visual bugs have been fixed, around 10% is left from the list, mostly of which is typos or minor bugs related to the combat. I rewrote and optimized most of the code in the forest area. From what I understood Tjop touched up some art and added some sprites and scenes for Helena. He's been sick for about a week now, very bad case of the flu. So I'm unsure when he's planning to stream again."
