Thank You!❤️ + Release Dates

Hi everyone,

what a weekend, eh?!

After having experienced one of the worst moments of my life and the most difficult situation for the project, you really came through for me and Summer. The words to express my feelings have never been uttered before nor have they even been invented yet. Your support and love left me speechless and filled me with joy rarely experienced before. Okay, okay... I'll stop being so cheesy. But I mean it, I truly do! I could go on for hours like this, but I'll spare you for now. Just know that I'll be eternally grateful for having the honor to be part of such an amazing community. Hmm... I can't stop, can I?

Alright, time to look forward and leave the past behind. I'm still a bit shook with everything that happened, but I'm already back to picking up the pieces and working on the final stretches of Season One. Besides finishing this season, I will also have to revise some plans I've made prior to this whole ordeal due to the sudden loss of the expected income I would have made on Steam. This hurts quite a lot because it restricts me from realizing some of the visions I had for the continuation of Summer In The City as well as cool things I had planned for the post release period. Let's rather say I'll put them into hiatus for the time being until I'm able to generate a steady income again. Let's hope the censoring situation will get better before it gets worse.

Let's also hope GOG will become Summer's new home base besides Patreon, SubscribeStar and itch. This would most certainly alleviate the worst parts of the situation. I'd like to quickly thank everyone who voted and especially those who left a story. I've read and I will keep reading every single one. I even teared up the other day after reading them. You're all so damn sweet! Oh, and in case you haven't voted yet... may I provide you boldly with a link?

Now, let's get to the new launch dates. Since Steam is off the table now, I thought rolling out the full game in the classic tiered release format would be the best course of action. It might be able to bring in new supporters which are sorely needed right now, and it gives me more time to polish things for the very final release version. I still have to get rid of some Steam specific code as well as adding stuff back in I had to remove besides other smaller fixes and taking care of things caused by the Steam fallout. So here are my plans for the rollout:

• Shitballs Deluxe: September 5th

• Shitballs: September 7th

• Friends With Benefits: September 9th

• Masters Of Shenanigans: September 11th

• Besties & itch.io: September 13th

I hope this works for you all considering the circumstances.

Now it's time for me to dust off and head right back into work. But before I do that, I would like to thank all supporters and some very amazing people first.

Special thanks to DSquared for not only the biggest tip of my life, but also the very special reason why. Special thanks to Hollandnavigator for setting up the GOG Dreamlist page, kicking off an amazing campaign. Special thanks to Spanky McGilligan and Knight Of The Lance for being friends and supporters sticking with Summer from the very beginning of this journey. Special thanks to Minnie for being super cool and supportive and extraordinarily generous. Special thanks to Deadpool and Frost Rabbit for spamming the meme and nsfw channels, thanks for laughs. Special thanks to all our dev friendos HanakoX, Amomynous Games, Asia The Magical Gurl, DogCat Studios, Paper Tiger Games, The Sugar Ray, Sexy Shelly, Xell. And basically everyone on our Discord server keeping the place alive. Always fun having a chat with y'all.

Well, I feel like you're going to hit me if I say "thank you" one more time. So, yeah... you're dismissed. Much love! ❤️❤️❤️
