Upcoming updates and what to expect! (Patreon)

There's been some confusion as to what's been released, what's coming up and the future content. I think I should do a quick breakdown of our development schedule. 

Here's the upcoming update releases in order:

1: The "Tech Update"

• The Tech Update is the one we are currently working on at the moment and will be next to release.
• We originally had the Rhonda update next in line, but felt like the Tech Update was more important. We also made a poll a few months back where fans and Patrons also felt the Tech Update was more needed.
• This update will expand the game into widescreen, which means bigger backgrounds, art and assets. It will fit better on mobile devices (Android) and give additional space for gameplay.
• The Tech Update is where we introduce the new map, in widescreen with new locations. Some of those new locations won't be yet accessible or with story, but will be on the map.
• The game will be released in higher resolution for PC/MAC players.
• The Tech Update adds new scenes for 6 existing characters (Eve, Grace, Jenny, Debbie, Roxxy and Becca)
• Large code base rework and improvements that aim to support the final scale of the game.

2: Rhonda's Update

• Rhonda's update includes all her story, her parents (Jackie and Earl) and the lifeguard (currently named Cassie). The story will be about Rhonda's athletic training, her competitive nature and her relationship with her parents.

3: Annie's Update

• Annie's update includes all her story, her parents (Lucy and Richard) and Mrs. Smith (principal). The story will be about investigating the secret underground cult at school!

4: Judith's Update

• Judith's update includes all her story, her Mom (Beth) and the Latinas. The story will be about Judith's struggle with fitting in at school, bullying and how you can help her (or not)!

5: Secret Updates?

• Yes! There will be more secret updates along the way that will introduce new content for everyone to enjoy. Monster girls or minor characters will randomly be released between the major updates planned (as we've done before).

But DarkCookie, when will you release the updates?!!

We don't know yet. We try and task everything in our development cycle each update and show you how the progress is going via our progress bar (on the Patreon page and our Website).

You can see the progress bar here:  https://summertimesaga.com/news

Okay, so what version is the Tech Update?!!

We stopped labelling updates by version and will use naming convention from now on to avoid confusion.

Tech Update -> Rhonda's Update -> Annie's Update -> etc...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you almost done the Tech Update>?!1

We're not done yet and still have a lot of content to make for it. We're doing good progress however. 

The 6 new animations have all their art done. I've converted quite a few backgrounds into widescreen already and will keep streaming weekdays to show you some of the work being done. Keep an eye on the progress bar, as stated above!

Thanks to everyone who's been supporting us, sending great feedback and been patient with the releases. <3
