A note from RealBite

Hello, and thank you for stopping by.

RealBite is a one-person independent studio. Second Semester is RealBite’s flagship original game, set in Bellhaven. It is the world I can build, own and grow for the studio’s future.

Summertime Saga: Realistic Remake brought many people to this community, and I am not abandoning it. It continues as a free, unofficial, non-commercial fan project and is not funded through this page. The links below support Second Semester and other RealBite-owned work only.

And if now isn’t the right time, that’s completely fine. Playing, sharing and saying hello mean a great deal to us too.

P.S. the remake stays free and separate from contributions

Where it goes

What your support helps fund

Every contribution goes into RealBite’s own games: the credits, tools and time behind them.

  1. Time to build Second Semester

    RealBite’s flagship original game, set in Bellhaven, a sunny coastal college town. The Day One prologue (v0.1.0) is complete. The day-and-map loop, where you choose where to go and who to see, starts on Day Two. There is no public build yet.

    Support helps create this original project and the world around it.

  2. Original art and AI credits

    New characters, locations and scenes for Second Semester and future RealBite-owned worlds. These are the credits represented by the mascot’s gold coins.

  3. Original audio and animation

    Music, voices and animation made for characters and stories that belong to RealBite.

  4. Tools for original production

    Software, testing and creative tools used for RealBite-owned projects.

  5. Future original worlds

    Room to explore new ideas that RealBite can own, develop and release independently.

A note about the remake

It’s free. It stays free.

What it is
A free, unofficial, non-commercial fan project.
Support & the remake
Kept completely apart. Contributions are not used to create, develop, distribute or promote it.
Price

It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the creators of Summertime Saga, who own the original game, story and characters. It is free, and it always will be.

Not able to support financially? That’s okay.
