Summertime Saga FAQ
1. Where can I download the game?
Visit the "Download" page on our website for the download links! We support PC/MAC and Android.
2. How often is SS updated?
Every month or two, on average.
3. When will the next update be released?
The progress bar on our website should indicate how close we are to a release. (soon™)
4. What kind of content is planned for the next updates?
The roadmap on our website shows the planned content for the next updates!
5. How is the content for future updates decided?
Each time we release the main update, we often post a new poll on our Patreon page where users can vote for what they would like us to work on. The option with the most votes is then placed on the "Roadmap" as a planned update.
6. How can you vote for future update content?
You have to register a Patreon user account and be a Patron (pledger) for Summertime Saga.
7. Will my save files carry over to the next update?
This is the most asked question and the answer is no, it cannot. Unfortunately, the Renpy engine deals very poorly with handling old save files in new versions of our game. A lot of things get changed each update and it conflicts with the savefile information. It is the reason why we added a cheat mode option when starting a new game and we are sorry you have to start from scratch each new update. If you want, you can wait for 2 or 3 updates before testing the game again and not have to go through the beginning each time!
8. Where can I report bugs?
You should register/login to our website with your Patreon account so you can use our bug tracking system and edit the wiki page! Otherwise, you can post bugs on our Discord server (But it's better if you use the bug tracking on our website).
9. How often does DC stream and when does he?
DC streams as often as he can. Depending on the content and how much work he's been doing it can be a day stream or a night stream if you want notification you can either check his Patreon every now and then or follow him on Picarto/Discord and have a notification sent to you via email.
10. What should I do if I missed a stream?
If you missed the most current one then it'll be up on his Picarto under the Video category if you missed any of the others then we keep an archive of all the past streams conveniently listed by month and year.
11. I don't know what I'm doing or I don't know how to complete an event where do I go?
Have a look at our wiki page which is now user supported. You can also visit our Discord server and join the #help channel for specific questions!
12. When do I know I've completed all the content within an update?
The game is still at an early stage of development so much of the content is still missing, but you can check our wiki page for information about the current stories available to play.
13. Can I join the development team or help in any way?
We are currently not looking for new team members but you are free to message DarkCookie on Discord with a sample of your work and he will contact you if things change.
14. Do you need translators?
It is too soon for us to spend time on translating the game into multiple languages. When we are closer to a final release of the game we will look into doing translations. Too many dialogue/stories change each update and we would waste time having to redo translations constantly. When the game is complete and the dialogue is final, then we translate and less time is wasted.
15. What does QA mean?
QA stands for "Quality Assurance" but in the context of game development, it means having people go over the gameplay and make sure no errors/bugs are occurring when playing. We have a small group of users who test our updates before release to make sure it has the least amount of bugs before it reaches the public.
16. When will Summertime Saga be done?
Hard to say. We still have a lot of content left to make and the game is very open-ended. Once we finish all the student stories and the main quests, we will be close to being done and can focus on polishing.
17. Do you plan on making more games after Summertime Saga?
Yes, there are 3 other projects planned but our priority is to finish Summertime Saga first and make it as good as we can.
18. Who makes Summertime Saga?
DarkCookie is the creator but he also has a team of developers who now help him! You can check our "About" section on our website to see who is currently taking part in the making of Summertime Saga.
19. Who is DarkCookie and where does he live?
He is a french Somalian pirate. That's all we know.
20. Who's the trap?
The trap is delicious.
