Development
- For more information about the changes, see Version history
DarkCookie, the creator of Summertime Saga, worked for many years as a concept artist in the film and video game industries. He began the development as freelance during summer 2016, using the software engine as a tool to learn scripting; in August of the same year was released the very first version.
The creator cites the manga Noritaka as the main character’s inspiration, but doesn’t exclude having added some memories of his own childhood inside the game.
The initial project was envisioned as a limited test both in the places visited and in the characters encountered: the beach was the main location and Roxxy the central figure; two elements that can still be found on the game logo. At that time, it didn’t include any sexual component.
However, with the growing popularity of the game - and the insistence of DarkCookie’s live stream viewers - the concept changed to include animated sex scenes and became an adult game. The creator slowly formed a team to satisfy the game new ambition.
In response to the chronic instability of the game, it was decided to completely rewritte the game code from version 0.15 onwards. The redesign of the characters, the rework of the animations and the new posing system also began. Older stories such as Diane’s and Jenny’s were revisited. These efforts are still ongoing as of version 0.19.
Always in order to improve the quality of Summertime Saga, the release frequency was spaced, in agreement with the project pledgers. Their proposals were also formalized with the introduction of the content polls in January 2017. The official website, the stream VODs, the development progress bar and the roadmap were added later. Last but not least, wallpapers with characters in provocative poses has been also distributed regularly to the most generous contributors as from October 2018.
While the game originally included incestuous relationships, it had to back down due to Patreon's new guidelines in March 2018.
