LemonIsLife: /* Roadmap */

The future content of ''Summertime Saga'' is submitted to Patreon pledgers’ opinion through {{strong|polls}}. The proposal that received the most votes from the community is retained and added to the {{strong|roadmap}}.

== Roadmap ==

The roadmap is already set for the next major updates; 0.21, 0.22, 0.23 and 0.24. Upcoming minor updates are not disclosed. The tracker that monitors the game development is a benefit starting from tier 2 membership.

== Content polls ==

Only tier 2 and higher pledgers are allowed to vote in the content polls on the studio’s website, each tier conferring one or more additional tokens. However, the content can be imposed by the team members if the game development requires it. Minor updates are not subject to polling in order to keep their contents confidential until their public releases. These polls are usually done after the release of a new version

=== Update 0.22.0 ===

The poll was proposed on October 19, 2019 and results were announced on October 20, 2019.

Roadmap and polls

2021-03-28T13:35:51Z

LemonIsLife: /* Roadmap */

The future content of ''Summertime Saga'' is submitted to Patreon pledgers’ opinion through {{strong|polls}}. The proposal that received the most votes from the community is retained and added to the {{strong|roadmap}}.

== Roadmap ==

The roadmap is already set for the next major updates; 0.21, 0.22, 0.23 and 0.24. Upcoming minor updates are not disclosed. The tracker that monitors the game development is a benefit starting from tier 2 membership.

== Content polls ==

Only tier 2 and higher pledgers are allowed to vote in the content polls on the studio’s website, each tier conferring one or more additional tokens. However, the content can be imposed by the team members if the game development requires it. Minor updates are not subject to polling in order to keep their contents confidential until their public releases. These polls are usually done after the release of a new version

=== Update 0.22.0 ===

LemonIsLife: /* Roadmap */

The future content of ''Summertime Saga'' is submitted to Patreon pledgers’ opinion through {{strong|polls}}. The proposal that received the most votes from the community is retained and added to the {{strong|roadmap}}.

== Roadmap ==

The roadmap is already set for the next major updates 0.20, 0.21 and 0.22. Upcoming minor updates are not disclosed. The tracker that monitors the game development is a benefit starting from tier 2 membership.

== Content polls ==

Only tier 2 and higher pledgers are allowed to vote in the content polls on the studio’s website, each tier conferring one or more additional tokens. However, the content can be imposed by the team members if the game development requires it. Minor updates are not subject to polling in order to keep their contents confidential until their public releases. These polls are usually done after the release of a new version

Easter eggs

LemonIsLife: /* Movies, TV series and shows */

Numerous {{strong|easter eggs}} to books, movies, and games are one of the staples of ''Summertime Saga''. These are cases where something or someone from the real world is included in the game itself for a funny intention. [[Raffles and user contributions]] during [[DarkCookie’s stream]]s are compiled on another article to ease the readability.

Fictional books:

* '''''Oedipuss''''': The book is hidden under Erik’s bed. The myth of Oedipus exists and has given its name to the “Oedipus Complex”, itself defined as a male child’s unconscious desire for the exclusive love of his mother. This is related to the close relationship between Erik and his landlady.
* '''''Secret VIP Stream… truth or myth?''''': Another mention about this stream is on the info board at the police station. Legend has it that there is a VIP stream where DarkCookie streams spoiler content only wearing a horse head.

== Games and video games ==
When players talk to players, it has to be about games!

* '''''[[Wikipedia:Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare|Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare]]''''': During the movie screening with Jenny, a grave marked with an F appears. A reminder of the action prompt “Press F to Pay Respects” from the first-person shooter.

* '''''[[Wikipedia:Half-Life (series)|Half-Life 3]]''''': On the main character’s computer, in the recycle bin, is a shortcut to ''Never-Life 3'', a pun on the name of the video game that has been long-awaited for years.
* '''''[[Wikipedia:Leisure Suit Larry|Leisure Suit Larry]]''''': Also in the computer recycle bin, is a shortcut to ''Leisure Suit Harold'', which references the adult video game series.
* '''''[[Wikipedia:Magic: The Gathering|Magic: The Gathering]]''''': Erik collects cards of ''Magic the Fappening''. Four trading cards can be found in ''Summertime Saga'', each one with a colorful name.
* '''''[[Wikipedia:Mario (franchise)|Mario]]''''': Tony once mentions his Italian friend, Luigi, killed by a turtle and doing some shrooms too; an anecdote befitting the video game’s heroes.

* '''''[[Summertime Saga]]''''': On the main character’s or Jenny’s computer, the video game ''Summertime Saga'' can be played. However, it crashes, reproducing a frequent feature of the real game during the first releases - when the code was done by DarkCookie. The logo of Summertime Saga can be found as a sticker on the main character’s locker at school.
* '''''[[Wikipedia:The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]''''': “I took an arrow in the knee”, delivered by Erik, is a memorable quote from this role‐playing video game.

* '''''[[Wikipedia:World of Warcraft|World of Warcraft]]''''': Erik, Justin and Karl are avid players of ''World of Orcette'' whose name is derived from the massively multiplayer online game. And the saying “For the Whored!” imitates the scream “For the Horde!” from the same game.

[[File:Waving_Snail.png|thumb|upright=0.40|Waving Snail]]

* '''''[[Wikipedia:Attack on Titan (TV series)|Attack on Titan]]''''': The main character dislikes ''Attack on Colossus'', an opinion shared by DarkCookie for the anime.
* '''''[[Wikipedia:Breaking Bad|Breaking Bad]]''''': When the main character has to meet a drug dealer in Roxxy’s route, he opts for the disguise of Walter White/Heisenberg. This character was a crystal meth maker and the most‐wanted criminal during the 5 seasons of the TV series.
* '''''[[Wikipedia:Captain America|'''''Captain America''''']]''''': If you liked ''Captain America'', you’ll love ''Sergeant Somalia'', ''Summertime Saga''’s version of the superhero from the Marvel Universe. The film, screened in the CineSaga Theater, is indeed dedicated to a sexy Somalian guy who can only be DarkCookie!
* '''''[[Wikipedia:Caveman (film)|Caveman]]''''': The Orcette item’s description is summed up as “Zug Zug” which is the expression from the movie ''Caveman'' for mating. It has been since adopted in several video games featuring orcs.

* '''''[[Wikipedia:Finding Nemo|Finding Nemo]]''''': All it takes is a clownfish in Saga Dealership’s water dispenser to make it look like a Disney movie.
* '''''[[Wikipedia:Friends|Friends]]''''': While they’re watching it on television together, the main character and Jenny have a little chit‐chat about the series called ''Pals''. The depiction of a group of friends living in Manhattan, and the names of the characters – Matt and Courtney – make the reference to the original ''Friends'' series more than obvious. If necessary, the plot of the episode is reminiscent of the one called “The One With All The Thanksgivings”.
* '''''[[Wikipedia:Inception|Inception]]''''': This achievement, granted for playing ''Summertime Saga'' on the main character’s or Jenny’s computer, is a clear reference to the movie, famous for its several layers of stories within a story.
* '''''[[Wikipedia:It (2017 film)|It]]''''': When the main character is introduced to Sugar Tats members, he interrupts an important discussion about the horror movies. Tuuku claims that the evil clown is the most frightening thing. The title character is also visible on posters in the recovery rooms of the hospital.
* '''''[[Wikipedia:It Follows|It Follows]]''''': In the same conversation, Grace recounts the story of a curse transmitted through sex. This is the scenario of the independent film ''It Follows''.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Keanu Reeves filmography|Keanu Reeves filmography]]''': ''[[Wikipedia:Speed (1994 film)|Speed]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:John Wick (film)|John Wick]]'' are just a few of the many movies that the priest seems to have experienced.

* '''''[[Wikipedia:Pitch Perfect 2|Pitch Perfect 2]]''''': Another promotional poster announcing the movie ''Bitch Perfect 2'' pastiches the real movie.
* '''''[[Wikipedia:Pirates of the Caribbean (film_series)|Pirates of the Caribbean]]''''': Golden Compas (that could lead you to your heart's desire, as Terry said) based on Compass that belonged to Jack The Sparrow. Sorry, Captain! Jack The sparrow.

* '''''[[Wikipedia:Scarface (1983 film)|Scarface]]''''': “Say hello to my little friend.” Chico says at the moment he uses his water gun. Also, we hear Tony shouts it, when he tells about troubles he got himself into. But maybe he had embellished it with catch-line he heard from TV, who knows.

== Food and drink ==
* '''[[Wikipedia:Goldschläger|Goldschläger]]''': The idea for the GoldSchwagger vodka - a much appreciated, but also very expensive drink - originates from Goldschläger; this alcohol does have gold flakes in it.
