Ren'Py Abandoned Summertime Saga [v0.20.16 Pre-tech] [Kompas Productions]

[J II D]

Honestly, the grind and stuff wouldn't be that bad if you can continue from old saves. It sucks that you lose all your attribute points and other things and have to redo them.

Yeah, but on the other hand.
That one time in 6 months you have to play it all over.....What's the big deal ; )

If was a game that updated monthly i could understand your frustration but so much time between updates that most people really don't mind a fresh new play-through to get back into it again.

Well, DC said that will need a 18.5 to deliver a "full jenny experience" with "new animations", i'm getting tired of thoses devs that can't deliver or be upfront, is the second Dev that say that "this update is not complete" basically, so I guess is another 2 month update, and Eve update is for the second semester, is summary, this year is only 3 updates, or truly 2 updates. Shit is getting grim...

In the end he probably simply learned from Diane's update where people weren't happy with the amount of scenes they got. He said on stream that those 3 additional scenes would take him another ~2 weeks to draw and x amount of time to be animated by AEhentai.

So I personally think it's quite a good compromise to release her story sooner and release a small additional update with some additional scenes while everybody is waiting for 0.19 in the meantime. That's basically what they did with 0.17 and 0.17.5 and it wasn't that bad to be honest - at least as long as they do indeed provide a fitting save or make it compatible.

Like that he could potentially boost the number of updates from 3 or 4 to 5+ per year - which again is what some people wanted.

Better to make a full update that take some extra time, than chopping up the update, if he need that extra time is because he knows that the "main update" wasn't going deliver.

I'd actually agree but there's a significant part of the communitiy who doesn't. Just look what's going on here at times. So it seems to be a fair compromise to me.

It is such a turn off for the characters to have such unrealistically sized tits and dicks. I don't know why people like it. What is hot is to see a normal human body. I mean, seriously.

If you want normal people then go watch amateur porn.

Cleavage is nice, but those re-works of the Principle and Beth seem unnecessary and silly. I get realism isn't the go to for this game, but yea, the old clothes designs make more sense to me.

As for the nun it just looks like she's turned sideways more than anything else. I'll miss the expression and pose of the hands on the bible in the first pose though.

@Hero1 thanks for the update.

When is the new update? More sex positions and locations for Diane please.

Diane is getting nothing in this update that we know of. It's Jenny focused, and it'll be released Soon™

 

[Jackie123]

Fuckkkkk that update takes sooo long still gona drop 23rd april.

That "Soon" triggers me so hard

 

[obibobi]

Clearly you don't understand so don't make stupid replies.

But I do, you don't, so let me explain it. You want average people, so go watch amateur porn where unpaid average looking people get it on.

 

[Somnus]

New character. I think it's the mob boss daughter. Idk, I didn't watch the whole stream, only the parts that were worthy.

Hold up...

Look at the principle one more time... Did her neck get longer?

 

[Deleted member 10214]

Are people really excited for Eve’s update? Maria is wayyyy sexier IMO.

I've seen a lot of people here complaining about how much time development is taking so consider this:

I think we can all agree that the reason we love Summertime Saga is because of the art. It's unique and hand-drawn from scratch, unlike most adult games which have 3D rendered images and characters that look similar to 3 other games out there.

Now consider the fact that Dark Cookie is currently the ONLY artist working on this and it's HIS style. No one can replicate it easily and like he said he doesn't have the time to train someone new and hold their hand every step of the process.

Hiring someone who is competent enough, can copy DC's style exactly (so that the art is consistent) and willing to work on an adult game is nigh impossible!

And at the end of the day, this game will have Dark Cookie's name and the name of the studio on it, so people will invest in their future games if they do a good job.

If I were DC I would have given up a long time ago with so many people whining. Has porn run out on the internet? Now go fap to something else and let the man work in peace.

i would rather see someone take their time and make this worth playing and viewing than have them rushing it and making it look all weird and lopsided

for one part i can agree with you,sadly,i cant agree with you in everything...while a lot of people whine like hell,there are lots of people who like his work and support him(after all,its not from nowhere all that money on patreon is coming from),so,you should be careful when you defend such view,you can lure a huge shitstorm here and while i do like reading other points of view i believe not everyone would see it so nicely....

I keep getting stuck at Dianes asking for the "tool" she says it is on the kitchen counter but when I click on a door, it says I need her permission???

well,she only asks you for 3 tools in the game,the shovel,the milker and the thermal bottle....if i remember it correctly....

Is it? Im pretty sure there's thousands of Philippinos who are atleast as good as DC and draw for 5$ an Hour or less.
I really don't get whats so special about his art. Its not like its bad, but its not very good either.
Its simple cartoonish art like anyone who can draw could draw. Its not like he has to hire Akabur or someone else of the patreon artists for 5k+ a month. Theres thousands of talented artists in low income countries who would love to work for a couple 100$ a month.

I think he´s just too lazy to look for one or two artists to support him.
