Summertime Saga was born as an incest game. In DC's mind, the whole game (which was veeeeeeery small compared to what it is now) was around the family member. So the most old and loyal fanbase of the game was of incest-fan. Thtat's why of all the poll for the updates always won the incest option. The aunt, the mom, the sister, the mom of the friend (which had some incest too), the mom revamp, the sister revamp (which will not happen right now) and I bet the aunt revamp would have won for the next .5 poll. I'm no fan of the incest and no fan of mature women, so this game has for me little to none interest at all, for now. When it will be finished (my bet is no less than 2 years from now, and I'm being generous) it will obviously worth a check.

Polished is probably the last word I would use for STS.
Its all relative...in this case I mean polished compared to other Renpy hentai games. STS has a clean interface, high quality artwork, and generally intuitive gameplay. I'm not comparing it to Skyrim.

using skyrim as a good example of polishing and all isn't something i would do, since it took massive bug fixes (from the community) to even make it run somewhat smooth, and all the content bethesda scrapped also had to be made up for by enthusiastic fans doing it for free.

So ... yeah, compare it to something with a good reputation or something thats more closely related to the game and engine in particular, other VNs, perhaps.

Man, the game lacks some of the most basics features of renpy games. I agree on the artworks, but no, fucking no, it's not intuitive at all. You have to do steps in exact order for a character arc, and these steps are not obvious at all. You will either spend lot of times trying each location at each time of the day, or look for a walkthough. If you forget about something (because you are doing something else at this point), there is no quest log or something to help you. Also, contrary to some game, STS doesn't tell you when the current content with the character is over, so you are also trying for things which can't happen, wasting a lot of your time.

I'm not saying the game is bad, far from it. But it's not polished.

^ Most of the end-game content consists of MC's dick entering random girl. Also once you get a menu to choose where/how to do said entering, the girl's route is probably completed. And the occasional giant gear telling you it's not in the game yet could help you.

I played the new content. Its really good as usual. Mostly its centered on four of the teachers...although there are various other additions including a bit with the principal and her minion Annie.

I hit a game-breaking bug with the mother/daughter, but I've seen that stuff before and was able to load a previous save and salvage the run.

It looks like the crew working on this has been expanded so hopefully the next patch doesn't take quite so long.

^ Be less inquiring and more vague about where/how you're bugged

How is anyone supposed to tell you what the patch does, when you don't even tell us what patch you are talking about?

This post made me realize that I dont' even really like any of the characters and I just play it just to play the actual game part of it.

is there a way to skip the poker scene? Getting frustrating when you can't progress because no matter how good YOU are at poker, Erik being utter shit at it ruins it.

(edit: brute force got past it, was more posting in case there was a way to get by it otherwise, or if the suggestion makes its way up the chain.. like the guitar hero sequences being skippable if you fail them enough times)
