Small 0.20.10 update (Pre-tech - Part I)
This is NOT the "Tech Update", but a small update containing new scenes for various characters already existing in the game. So the new map and widescreen is not part of this small update, but will be in the upcoming Tech Update (see progress bar). We are still working on the Tech Update in parallel with these new batch of scenes.

New additions to Summerville's Gym!
With the upcoming widescreen ratio expansion that allowed for more background room, we added a few more rooms to the gym such as a locker room and a sauna!
A new character will also be appearing in the gym as a student of Master Somrak! She will have a few dialogues in the upcoming tech update but no extra scenes just yet.
More to come!

Upcoming updates and what to expect!
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

20.8 status update (delay) and upcoming changes to map!
20.8 status update:
You're probably wondering why some of the progress stalled about 3 weeks ago and the reason is one of our devs (Posing) had to suddenly step away from the project. It unfortunately happened as we were wrapping up the content and had to halt the progress until we found replacement.
The good news is we tested new candidates and found 2 new devs who will be starting this week! Hopefully we can get the update back on track to wrap it up as soon as possible for you all to enjoy.
Art was done a little while back and writing will be done this week so we should be moving on to the following tech update in the meantime.
Sorry about this delay, I'm aware some of you are anxious to play the new content. :<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Map changes in tech update:
The image above shows what I've been working on during daily streams (for those who haven't watched). The tech update changes the game widescreen ratio which opens up room for additional locations on the minimap.
We've added:
- Lighthouse
- Bar
- 3 homes
- Museum
- Arcade and Bowling hall
- Stadium
- Expanded trailer park and forest area
In contrast with the very first minimap (0.01), things have changed a lot! Most locations were not even accessible .^-^
I will be streaming all week for future update content, so tune in!

Entering the last stretch of development! Art is wrapping up and so is writing. The update is quite large in terms of content (Art and Writing) so it's taking a bit longer than expected to gel all the content but we're almost there!
Thanks for being patient and supporting the development. <3
