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

[j4yj4m]

This actually worries me a bit. At first it sounds nice and all, but I can't help but think she's going to lack content like Mia. Mia had the Nun and Mom that detracted from her content and it seems like DC is going to make the same mistake with Eve.

Then there's the whole "trap" thing which I hope doesn't happen to her character. That'd be two nut shots in one update.

To be fair, Mia only had a ~50 day update back then and was always meant to get another one for herself. Even if one excludes pregnancies etc. Eve's update will certainly have double the amount of time invested and thus certainly get more story/content.

Btw., right out of Discord on the topic of Eve's update:

CaptainSploosh yesterday:
It's actually REALLY obvious why its going to be huge
but spoilers and all
so you guys will just have to figure it out on your own

 

[Laziness]

An obvious, yet spoiler reason, you say..?

Now that's just fucking trolling right there with this vague bullshit

 

[Corbo]

This doesn't work for this game. On other Ren'Py games it did work fine, but not for sumertime saga. I even donwloaded a options.rpy into the game-Folder, but shift-O still doesn't open the console in this game.

UPDATE: I tried an older Version of this game (V0.14.51) and console does work there.

Honestly I just downloaded Unren and pressed option 3 to enable cheat menu. You may have to reinstall the game and try again though to get it to work though.

Eve is optionally a trap maybe? Would require double the content for Eve: girl version, and girl (male) version

 

[Genji]

The hell with Eve and trap??she is clearly a girl..whats with you guys and trap anyway,it much more better that Eve is a girl and a virgin..and trap cant get pregnant you know

 

[Beatrix Kiddo]

Obvious and spoiler = trap options

 

[Senigata]

Obvious and spoiler = trap options

That doesn't make it a huge update. Especially not with three pregnancies confirmed and if the new goth girl and Eve's sister are amongst them then the third ought to be Eve I presume.
EDIT: Ah sorry, jumped the gun and didn't see the options part. Yeah that makes it huge.
But I wonder what DC's personal canon will be?

Makes the most sense, and I can't think of anything that's a more obvious factor in size while still being a spoiler.

edit: I wonder if the STEve joke had a factor in things...

 

[Genji]

hmm.....and put more time to finish the game with that trap option...i dont think so..this game barely have updates in a years now..I ignore this thread and focus on the other games since November 2018..barely go here since DC took to much time making new update..i dont think i will play even if it come out...

Well, it could very well mean story variations, scene variations and/or even different scenes altogether. Like 50% more scenes to be made, to say something.

I wish it's not this, just because I'm not into traps. But it would kind of make sense if it's this. What else could it be that it's obvious and make the update huge? I don't think pregnancy for 3 characters makes it that huge, considering it's just a few dialog events.

well,at least they will give us a choice about the trap or not trap in the game,i dont feel like i should be obliged to bite that apple,even if Eve looked as sweet as ever...i just feel they shouldnt reduce her story just becuz they only thought in the expanded trap content...

Yeah I jumped the gun in my last reply. Doing essentially two versions of her story explains why it's the 'biggest update yet', I just wonder how it would be incorporated, a choice during her story feels jarring in concept. Or are we talking two versions of the game?

I'd actually guess that we may even get a menu option (maybe along with the choice to enable cheat mode or not) to enable/disable "homosexual content". That would give away the surprise right away but it would help for Kevin's content as well, just in case DC changes his mind. Else I'd say it'll be some kind of early on choice for MC, after which you'll either get one or the other story. I mean, Eve's story would likely be the same to for more than 50% and there'd be simply two "final" arcs. A female one including pregnancy and all the usualy sexy stuff and one trans arc which deals with everthing that's related to it.

At least it looks like there'll be quite a bit of tention until the update actually drops and I doubt the hints will get any less. I mean, it's still perfectly possible that she's not the trap after all and we won't know until it's out.

Oh I like the main menu idea.

Also first and formost I hope Eve's story leans more on the romance side of things since she seems to be a nice person overall

So, any realistic assumption for the 0.18 release time?

April 31st
I'm joking, obviously

 

[Automata]

I'd say expect 0.18 and 0.18.5 to be out and done by end of June at the latest. The earliest I'd expect it assuming they really are done with everything but the coding and bug testing is the 27th.

They changed this on purpose, you need to follow these steps:

Btw., right out of Discord on the topic of Eve's update:

Yes, but last I heard of Mia's second update, it was phrased in a way that put her character to the wayside again.

Furthermore, double the amount of time invested doesn't help anything when it's split between two other girls and then the potential "trap" thing which is going to take a deal of time for writing, dialogue, art, posing, etc.

Now if it was just the sister and Eve without the whole trap thing it'd be far less of an issue IMO.

For instance, while Roxxy's update had other girls, it was primarily just her. That's how I would think an update revolving around a character should be.
