Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5091] [Kompas Productions]

[Squark ⚧❤️]

LOL@ people complaining about slow dev process.
It's like they WANT shallow, 10-minute updates rather than meatier ones.

1: I have no issue playing it in the resolution supplied, get your head out of your own rectum
2: Some Ren'Py games have save updating features, won't see it in SS for a long time if at all
3: It takes as long as it does because writing, posing, testing and sometimes silky smooth animations

Hey guys, i got stuck in the game. The game just ported me to the pizza place with 0 energy and now i cant leave because it says "Once im already here, i should go inside and check it out", but i cant go inside, because "im too tired right now".

Save file is attached. Please help me

OK, first thing as this save is already bugged, it would be more interesting how you got there in the first place. Do you have an earlier save where this can be reproduced?

Second, if in your game the debug mode is enabled, you can open MC's phone and click on the Wifi icon on top left corner, which would open the cheat menu. There you can set the in-game time to evening and proceed. If it's not enabled, I would advise to load an earlier save. Maybe you find an appropriate auto-save. They should be created, well, automatically, from time to time.

To avoid such situations, you should save often, and always in the main town map or in MC's bedroom, never in the middle of something.

Do not use the cheat menu too freely as it can also break your game.

Edit: This state is automatically triggered after being bugged by the russian guys and being rescued by Tony for the first time. Then, after you go to sleep, the game teleports you to the pizzeria exterior, where the only thing you can do is to enter, and try to leave (which does not work since the game tells you that you have to enter). There is one other thing you can do: pass the time by clicking the time-skip button at the top. This way, you can skip time to late night which brings you in the situation you now have. So, seriously, did you do this on purpose? I do not see another possibility.

Sorry for the late reply. No, i didn't save before, as i was just rushing through the early part of the game, since save files from v19.x don't work anymore and i couldn't be bothered with the story elements that i already knew.

Yes, the scene triggered after the encounter with the russian guys. No, i did not skip time on purpose. After being bugged by the guys,a big story element kicks in and I end up inside the house at night. When i entered my room to go to bed, i got ported to the pizzeria.
There was nothing else i could do, since the cutscene ended at night already.

However, thanks for the solution. Will try it out tomorrow

if we take gameplay , this game is really good. but i have 3 claims . its inexcusable for such income per month!
- low resolution ( even not 720p)
- old saves dont work
- slow developement progress.

No one cares. Go whine somewhere else.

Higher income doesn't improve technical skill. I'm sure Kompas didn't intend for this to get 65k/mo and they're not begging people to give them money. They're working on their project like it or not. You can get it here for free so why are you even bitching about money? The game isn't even that broken and they catch bugs fairly fast. At least it's not as bad as FET.

^ You can get the game for free on Patreon within 2 days after payed release, in fact you only pay to have dedicated servers and a day-ish faster. But whiners gotta whine he makes 5x their monthly income while they get a free game

please clear my doubts. dedicated servers?! why?

is it perhaps that *thing* that its on options/settings that says *link your patreon account* perhaps?

 

[Omnikuken]

Imagine about 30k dudes all jumping on MEGA the moment the link drops, pretty sure some1's gonna get mad the internet crashes. Now remove about 15-20k of those dudes by having another "private" link for Patrons and you just saved the Interwebz from melting itself

Linking Patreon account is to have your pledge tier reward on Discord and exhibit your mega E-peen there for every1 to witness how glorious it is to spend 5-10-20$ per month and have a special rank

The servers are indeed only for patrons to download the game, so they don't have to rely on one click hosters.

The option in the menue which allows access does serve a different purpose. Once you activate it, the drunk Cpt. Sploosh at the pier will start to say random lines which high tier patrons can chose and everybody who actives that option will get to read them. Given that there's no early access, it's a way to give these people something for their money. So if you are a high tier patron you can basically have your own line in the game right now via that feature.

Edit: Oh, and you don't have to link your account there. Everybody can activate it, no matter whether he's a patron or not.

they can hire pro programmers . but just milking

Every character is designed according to Cookie's own tastes. If he doesn't want his characters to be too hairy, then they won't be. Besides, there's a LOT of games out there with overly hairy ladies.
Ivanchez, I refer you back to this post: https://f95zone.to/threads/summertime-saga-v0-20-1-kompas-productions.276/post-3967364
Now compare this game to Milfy City. Which one is the more obvious scam? At least SS gets updates mostly on time.
I don't call THAT "milking". Now how about you display whatever level of maturity you're supposed to have and stop using hot-topic buzz terms?

Stop giving him attention. The more you respond, the more he bleats, the more he bleats the more people respond, the more people respond the more likely it is that others will join in on the bleating.

 

[WOMANpukumaru]

What's been the average time between updates? I know they take awhile, and not to expect one any time soon

I'm just asking if there has been a pattern set, or the schedule is just all over the place. Which is fine

Just get the mods to do their jobs once in a while and every1 will be happy

He took ~3 months from 0.19 to surprise buttsmex 0.19.5, then ~5 months for 0.20. We're barely past 3 months for 0.20.5
There's never concrete release dates, DC likes to give vaguely inaccurate time-windows and miss them. Your best bet is to check the progress bars and extrapolate from there. Then wait another month just to be sure

Her new sprite is indeed a lot more refined than the old one:

In the end the time it takes is set by the amount of content in the update. In the last years we usually either had large updates which took 4 to 5 months or smaller ones which took ~1,5 to 2.

But yeah, it'll be done, once it's done. Everything is always just guesswork and given that they quite often chose to add content during development, predictions are usually wrong anyway.

 

[Somnus]

I barely keep up with the progress nowadays but on his page all art for 0.20.5 are done. So maybe next month, new update, you know, after the billing cycle renews.
