I do find it quite impressive they did a full engine update with all of the old content + new content in that timespan
It will be, I've been following this game since release and stuff like this happened before and RNGeusEx was able to solve most of it all.
No problems that I am aware of. I just used it for convenience. Important files like "en.po" and ".dialogue" can be accessed directly from inside .exe without extraction, they are not encoded.
Renpy works well for these type of games, simply as that. You aren't developing a AAA game for Sony, you are creating a porn game, nothing more nothing less. Second, I am not defending Summertime Saga, I was even opposed when the people decided to go for the infamous "tech update" and I said that it was impossible to do that in only 4 months with the lot of problems his team had in the moment and the lot of work it could take before he finished the game. This has nothing to do with the time, is more with the necessity of doing this change. There is a lot of people angry about it and with reason. Let that sink really deep in your brain.
The problem begun when he decided to change engines without reason and you are in the way of become like one of DarkCookie followers. You are doom my friend, but i think maybe there is still time for you to change.
Just ran the windows build thru GDRE and it did load and launch in the godot (spine) editor. Didn't test very far but this is a huge win for modding, It's probably possible fix the issues with OpenGL now too
Just let the dev cook man. Godot is good shit. People's tantrums are definitely justified and understandable but it already happened, there's nothing we can do other than to trust what the Dev's cooking
The duality of man lol
Average porn game developers:
5. Make a few small updates over next 2-3 years
Too late that ship sailed. At least Summertime saga had a decent run before it's bullshit. The output these guys had slowed considerably before they did this after an exceptionally strong first release. The subsequent releases got smaller each update until we magically "needed" this engine update. The game was barely twice as large as its original release by that point too.
