The first release using our new source code is finally here!
As we mentioned in our last news post, not all of the Tech Update content is available yet. We have been working extensively on all aspects of Summertime Saga and now have most key systems and art in place. Starting with this release we are switching our focus to bringing familiar content into the new engine and releasing our progress every 2 months. As well as moving over existing content, we will also be slipping in some new additions for players to enjoy each update.

Tech-Update Build
Unlocked content:
1st school day
Debbie story

Old saves will not be compatible as this version of the game uses a new source code.

• The game is now widescreen and higher resolution (varied across platforms).
• Many new locations across town have been added to the map (and you’ll be able to visit them all).
• All locations have been improved visually and extended (art, buttons, crowds, etc).
• UI, buttons and navigation improved and streamlined.
• Jenny’s story has been improved and updated with a bit of new content.
