RPGM Completed Scars of Summer [v1.03] [Shinachiku-Castella/Kagura Games]

[Roaring_Resolve79]

Get called doomer by simply expressing your own thoughts, modern days society is surely something. It's not like I'm not happy about the new game, fuck I'm also going ape and hype about it. But to *me*, the game author have done something that's gonna make me feel like the game could be left with a lot of bugs/unfinished feature because he might do the thing again.

Do you fully understand what I mean now? The game took 4 years to make and there are reasons.

Yes, those reasons being that:

- The Game was originally planned to be DLC for the base game. Shifted to be a full-game instead.
- He's a 1-man army, doing the programming, scripting, drawing, testing, and WRITING of the whole thing himself; during his free time while handling a full-time job nonetheless... not even mentioning whatever other responsibilities he might have.
- God forbid any of you for ever falling sick and/or experiencing a mental breakdown in your lives and being unable to do what you want/have to.
- Covid lockdowns affecting everyone.
-If anything it's surprising he didn't give up at all during this last 4 years.

As for the bugs and "unfinished" game thing: it's a DEMO. I've already said it but I'll say it again: this release is not a prerelease, beta testing (not even an alpha for that matter). The full game is going to be a completely different release once it's ready. Besides, he's already working on fixing the bugs on the demo:

Finally: yes, you're more than welcome to express your own thoughts all you want. That doesn't exclude you from people calling you out on them regardless of where you stand by in an argument. You've said it yourself already: we live in a society after all.

God.. 700mb for the demo? Lets just say that we expect the full game would b3pe about 5gb i guess?

The first game is around 1.3GB. Between animations and the Saki-route/mini-game, I'd expect SoS After to be around the 2-3GB range. I'd be very surprised if it ends up being less than 2GB but I don't expect it to be more than 3GB.

he prob didnt know how to cull stuff for the beta test, so just blocked it via scripts or something maybe.
i imagine the full release will be a bit bigger, but near the 1gb size.

ah right the saki stuff (above), yeah 2-3gb probably.

anyone have a save for this with all scenes unlocked?

I'm sure we are, and falling sick is NOT an excuse for you to do nothing for a long period of time and asking for support at the same time. We paid to support and hope that we could have the game we want. I still remember he literally closed his cien comment section and progress report, or at least changed it to only available to ppl who donate more than 500 JPY/month, and he's not making too much of a progress before that either. I thus stop donating and following him since then, and like I said before, the game took double the time to make, and he was leeching off his fan during the time.
IDK about the one man army stuff since there are more and more indie games are made by a single dev. This sounds more like he's having issues and thus the slow progress.

Post proof of you paying for his ci-en, i'm curious. Even one month is enough just post a screenshot of it

here is the thing that stop me from keep donating him back then. This post is titled: 夏色のコワレモノAfter#17 進捗ごめんなさい published on jun/30/2023



I paid 500 yen so that I can see him roast his fan. lol what a joke

 

[Proutzor1]

I tried, but I couldn't find it anymore. Either he deleted it or he changed it so that everyone can see it. The only thing I can provide now would be my plan subscription history, but it can't really prove anything I guess.

Your plan subscription history is good enough of a proof, i mean you have the date and the name of the artist you are supporting written for each plan you paid on Ci-en.

Bro, i feel so sorry for you. You spent a whopping $3 a month , which is how much your subscription costs. This is incredible money. Shinachiku probably lives on it alone.

not much, but think about how many guys out there spending $3 or more per month to support him. And I was in college back then so $3 is all I could spare to support him.

Dang, what a miserable human being you seem to be to think that falling sick is not an excuse for not doing anything...
Again, God forbid you ever being sick or mentally ill...
Donating money to someone is not the same as paying them to do something, so you're incredibly wrong thinking that being subscribed is an excuse to expect someone to work harder for, again, donations.
Also, why the fuck do you all keep saying that he's been "leeching" his supporters this whole time?! He just has a platform where anyone can willing donate to him while he works on a game on his free time.
What he's doing is still work! If you were to sum up how much he's been earning through donations, he's probably been earning the equivalent to working a second job at best, working overtime for less than minimum wage at worse for, again, working on making a game.
Like, has any of you ever thought of that? That he's essentially been working overtime this whole time? I would love to see any of you do anything like that lol.

well said, in that case stop making games. If you don't have what it takes then leave or imporve yourself, ain't this simple?
And as for the donation, I was willing to until he post those bullshit I showed earilier. That's the moment I stop donating, if you can't read Japanese then I highly suggest using some translation tool and see what he said.
Before you guys show up again and say anything. Yes, I'm happy the game is out and I'm still waiting Tina II since the moment he said he's gonna make it. But the whole thing and his attitude toward his fan base are the reason I don't feel like supporting him. Hope this is clear enough for you
