Characters
File:Mr. Bubble Darkcookie Stream Picarto.png
DarkCookie working on Mr. Bubbles character
Many characters drawn for Summertime Saga are based on real or fictional people. The game's community is the main source of inspiration, particularly through raffles:
- Admiral Sploosh is CaptainSploosh, the current dialogue writer of Summertime Saga.
- Dogeek. The main developer of the game gave his name to Clyde's pet.
- Cedric and Pilly are based on DarkCookie's fans.
- Kass, Mr. Bubbles and another unnamed character have been created from KassyKage, ZanaSenpai and Emerald respectively, three moderators on the Discord channel. Josephine is Purt, a user of the channel.
- Konterina is an active member of the streaming chat whom suddenly disappeared for a long time. Chat and DarkCookie wondered if she would return and a missing person poster was added to the police station. She did return. Konterina is also known for greeting everyone in chat very quickly, like a bot. So the robot in Ms. Otika's office was named after her. Beep Boop!
- Captain Terry, Jaing, Titty, Micoe and Anna are based on Amens, Noce, TheTittyShit, Micoe and RavenClaw262, all stream regulars. Odette was proposed by MikeOdette in the 2018 christmas raffle. SatUrnPrincess was choosen for the character of Elena and Tukuu for another unnamed character.
Other characters come from celebrities:
- Ms. Ross. The art teacher looks like the TV presenter, art instructor and painter Bob Ross. Who is famous for his show The Joy of Painting, his very laid back and positive attitude.
- Earl is a user chosen character, and he is based on Reginald VelJohnson, an actor who is best known for playing policeman characters such as on the sitcom Family Matters.
- Tatiana is based on the streamer Tatiana Badiu, alias PureRuby87, with her permission. The character has been replaced by Lilly.
- Roxanne Clifford, an indie pop band singer, was the inspiration behind the character of Veronica.
- Roz. The lovely desk receptionist in the clinic is a human adaptation of Roz from the Pixar movie, Monsters, Inc.
Titles of books
File:Bookshelf.png
The library has some interesting books
Book and magazine titles are often used as jokes in Summertime Saga:
- The library presents a book titled Secret VIP Stream… thruth or myth?. Another mention 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.
- Another book has Soon™ written on the spin as a direct answer to the players who always ask when the next update will be released.
- Basic renpy coding vol 22 is a reference to Ren'Py, the software engine used to make the game.
- In Principal Smith's cabinet lies the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire appearing in stories by the horror writer H. P. Lovecraft and his followers.
- Erik hides a book titled Oedipuss under his 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.
- Inside Erik's locker, two books can be found: 50 Shades of Green wich is a parody of the erotic book Fifty Shades of Grey; and Orcettes Illustrated that evokes the magazine Sports Illustrated.
Posters
- A poster of Arnold Schwarzenegger is located at Coach Bridget's office on the left side of the back wall. A reference to the iconic picture of the actor holding a glass of cognac.
- In Ms. Otika's office, on the back wall hangs the famous picture of Albert Einstein sticking his tongue out.
- Another poster can be found in the science teacher's office on the right side. It shows how man evolved from apes, with DarkCookie's interpretation of how we might evolve in the future.
- In the French classroom is displayed the mostly accurate map of Yurup.
- The movie theater in the mall has a promotional poster for Dirty Harold, a copy of Dirty Harry.
Lockers
- In Erik's locker, the Dungeon'N Orcettes figures are a parody of the fantasy role‐playing game Dungeons & Dragons. And the saying "For the Whored!" imitates the World of Warcraft scream "For the Horde!".
- In Judith's locker is an obvious reference to the soft drink Mountain Dew.
- In Dexter's locker, the name "Tuuku", written on the back, corresponds to a former moderator of the community chat.
Others
The Box of Shame
The Box of Shame origin dates back to when DarkCookie was doing the treehouse location; raffles were done where winners could add any item of choice for the box. Quite an opportunity!
The first winner wanted an old pair of panties, which was at first regarded as a wasted opportunity by chat and DarkCookie. New raffles were made to find people with better ideas for the content of the box. However for some reason all winners failed to come up with any solid ideas so DarkCookie ended up adding the panties, since this was the only actual suggestion made from a raffle winner, and a pair of binoculars suggested by chat.
All the names of the winners were crossed over and the box was named The Box of Shame.
The trap
A poster and a book both titled "It's a trap!" can be discovered in‐game. They are an inside joke about the presence in Summertime Saga of a trap character — a male character disguised as a female. This rumor is a recurring subject within the community.
The apple in the microwave
DarkCookie once explained that he didn't like cold apples and used the microwave to warm them up. Since the chat thought how silly this habit was, a lot of jokes were made, and soon an apple in a microwave was added in the teachers' lounge at school.
Raven Hill
A raffle was held during a stream to choose a name for the newly added hill overlooking the town. The only name the winner could come up with was Yaya Hill, a name that made everyone laugh for its bland sounding. A new raffle was done. RavenClaw won and pick the name Raven Hill.
The 2016 Chicago Cubs Season
Located on the left wall in Erik's basement hangs a shirt similar to the one of the Chicago Cubs. This reference is an homage for the Cubs to finally end the so‐called Curse of the Billy Goat, and the longest World Series championship drought in history.
Computer
On the main character's computer, the game Summertime Saga can be played. However, it crashes, reproducing a frequent feature of the real game every time a new version is released. This was especially true when DarkCookie was doing the coding only by himself in the first releases.
The popular trading site eGay is also pinned on this screen, which references eBay.
Pickle Rick
The close‐up on the bed in Diane's bedroom displays the fictionnal character Picle Rick in the blurred background.
Magic The Fappening
Erik is an avid player of Magic The Fappening, a collectible card game similar to the real Magic: The Gathering. Four trading cards can be found in Summertime Saga.
