Ren'Py Happy Summer [v0.6.2] [Caizer Games]

[yoyomistro]

Preemptive EDIT: This mod ONLY APPLIES TO VERSION 4.3. If you use it with any other version it WILL break your game!

Here's my mod as promised. It's a little better than I thought it would be as I took a couple hours to iron out the kinks, so hopefully it's future-proof and easy to maintain with coming updates. It's not goober-proof however, and I make no guarantees that it won't mess up your game if you don't know what you're doing. I am not responsible for any damage done to your game. There are few adjustments to the initially anticipated changelog, fully delineated below:

-Rollback at any time.
-Skip on CTRL keys, hide on H key.
-Infinite save pages.
-All non-unique events that take up 2 time slots will take up 1.
-All unique events that take up 2 time slots will take up 1.
-No grind/maintenance activities except work.
-Save or load at anytime. Access custom save menu using right mouse button or escape key. My hacked interface is confusing so be careful not to accidentally save when you want to load or load when you want to save!

Instructions:
1) Backup your game files.
2) Unpack your game using UnRen, following the instructions found in this thread:
https://f95zone.to/threads/unren-ba...compiler-console-developer-menu-enabler.3083/
3) Delete hs1.rpa and hs2.rpa in the \game folder.
4) Unpack the mod contents into the \game folder.

You MIGHT get an error screen about "map". If so, just hit rollback and it should be fine.
If the mod doesn't take effect on load hit Shift + R, or Shift + D and click Reload Game.

I tried to make the Gallery accessible in-game but ran into some issues, and didn't want to throw any more time at it. Please enjoy and let me know if you are knowledgeable about Ren'Py scripts and have any feasible suggestions for improvements.

EDIT: Updated to 4.3 5/15/22

Mod updated to 4.3.

On another note, you generally don't have to wait over 3 years to have sex with someone in other games either, lol

Played "Wife and a mother" lately? Last update brought 12 seconds of gameplay (if you can call it that), for the path I was on..
And ther is a lot of releases that keep put main characters in the backseat and just pump out more generic assembly pussy for you.

Also there is a differecne between render the same old faces you seen a million times before and throw some medicore story to go with it. Then release something you at most need to hit next to continue and create an actual game.

1. There's not much content guys, it's only a base for new events.
2. Added 1 event for May.
3. Added minigame in this event.
4. MC room after that event will be changed to May's room (be closed until next update).
5. It's will changed back only in future updates after some progress with May storyline.
6. Be careful because it's do unable to have any morning/gym events in MC room for other characters.
7. MC can sleep in living room.
8. Bug fixes.

NOW my opinion as a big fan of the game... the creator decided to destroy the game. And officially I stopped paying his patreon..

Still milking this out?

Where the story is now I suspect the minigame has something to do with the moving of May. I'm curious what it is, love it when a game does something different.

 

[Jack0h]

what minigame?

He's finally found a way to divide by zero...

Instead of sharing this mathematical breakthrough with the rest of the world he's busy slaving away at this game for entire minutes each month to ensure we, the players, have the best possible experience with each and every update. We're so blessed to have such a dedicated developer.

So, probably going to be more new characters with content for them, lol

It's so easy that everyone can do it, even you... Imagine all that milk you can get for no effort at all right?

Seeing as I also make smut games for a living, I do know how easy it is. And I'm experienced enough with Renpy to know roughly what goes into any given update for this game.

I'd love to take Caizer's approach to development, but this weird cricket that sounds like Cliff Edwards shows up on my shoulder and calls me a piece of shit whenever I try to do that.

Should I consider asking Caizer what brand of bug spray he uses?

Is in next update 0.4.4

So what smut games have you made?

 

[Tikky]

In this update, the main character found out that May was kicked out of the apartment, then he "corrected" the doctor's physiognomy...Is that all? Or is something else missing?Is this the whole plot of this update?

 

[Zuul]

The lack of a developer tag on this profile should be more than enough to tell you I'm not going to answer that. Also that's a personal and off-topic question that should've been DM'd to me if you were interested, refrain from derailing the thread even if inadvertently.

Also that MC proposes to come and live with him. That's it for this update and for this game quite big steps, starting to become full house.

Since you made a statement of making such games for a living and obviously doing better than this creator I just asked because I would like to compare your creations. If that is derailing the thread, then you did embark on doing thatl the momment you made that statement did you not? If you make smut games for a living, then hide what you make on a site such as this seems odd...

Unfortunately, Caizer is one of those devs who uses their game as basically real programming practice... there are a bunch of complex systems he uses that could be done with simple scripts, but he opts to use actual code for them instead. Not sure if he's using this as practice for a better job or if he just derives some enjoyment from it. See School of Lust for another example. Fortunately for my part, he doesn't mess with any of the base systems that I need to be in place to mod games the way I like, like some devs do, who basically do a bunch of complicated shit that you just have to figure out what's safe to delete entirely or what variables to instantiate to just make the stupid thing run like a Ren'Py game (see The Hard Way, Agent 17, Lust Hunter, etc.).

God forbid he do it to hone his skills and become better at what he doing right? Or maybe he already got a skillset so it just fall natural for him to work that way. End of the day what matters is if it works or not. There is enough games around where the creators excel at make spaghetti code and have to rework their games over and over to make it coherent.

I'm a bit biased, as I play every non-unity game on here with the game on my left monitor and the scripts/assets open on my right monitor... I've been playing these larger adult games since like 2013 when every other offering was a buggy unplayable mess, and the rest were unconscionable grinds, and when you figure out that you can circumvent someone's terrible scripting/systems design and save hours of your own time just by changing a few lines, it's a gamechanger (literally); so I guess it's a bit of a mindset thing.

Plus you wouldn't believe how many devs either forget to provide labels to access content that's available in a release already or have a path you have to do some convoluted shit to get to (like comment that you DIDN'T like a characters dress in the prologue, peek on them in a dressing room in chapter 1, and click on their shoes with a hidden hotspot in chapter 3, and it gives you access to a dress-up scene in chapter 5 or some weird shit like that lol). Sometimes devs intentionally include unfinished content and make it inaccessible--that's not what I'm talking about here. Also I don't wanna play your game 3 times to see all the content so a lot of times I'll just merge paths so they can be done in a single playthrough; I've got better things to do with my time.

Plus I like to correct grammar mistakes, etc. as I go along and if you've got some like some massive, convoluted system setup to basically do conditional checks, I just kinda can't help but roll my eyes a bit. I'm a "shortest distance between two points is a straight line" type, and if I see someone building an obstacle course for themselves between the two points I shake my head.
