Every few months, on average.

The progress bar on the news page should indicate how close we are to a release (soon™).

The roadmap on the news page shows the planned content for the next updates!

Each time we release a 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.

Patrons at the $5 tier or above can vote in future content polls. $5 tiers have 1 vote, $10 have 2 votes, and $20 have 4 votes. Click here to become a Patron!

Save compatibility is currently on a best effort basis, there are no guarantees at this time. Saves will usually work if the save is from the map or within MC's bedroom. If your save doesn't load correctly, you can also check the "auto saves" as a backup.

You should register/login to our website with your Patreon account so you can use our bug tracking system and edit the community wiki! Otherwise you can post bugs on our Discord server (But it's better if you use the bug tracking on our website).

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.

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.

Have a look at our community wiki. You can also visit our Discord server and join the #help channel for specific questions!

The game is still at an early stage of development so much of the content is still missing, but you can check our community wiki for information about the current stories available to play.

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.

Sure! Learn more about the translation process here.

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.

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.

Yes, there are 3 other projects planned but our priority is to finish Summertime Saga first and make it as good as we can.

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.

He is a French Somalian pirate. That's all we know.
