Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.4468] [Kompas Productions]

[Hero1]

I've had character routes rollback or even reset while halfway through, events jump forwards and break my saves, and even character pregnancies either reset themselves or just cause a fatal error when in previous playthroughs they worked without any hint of a problem.

That only happens when you use a mod/tool that allows rollback (see here). There's a reason that this feature is disabled in the vanilla game.

in the last two polls for new scenes , was Sara there as an option?

Yes, but only as a voyeur style scene. So MC would watch her and Terry fuck.

In that case it sounds like the game isn't storing all values properly.

I'mma be honest, while I absolutely fucking love this VN, it REALLY shits me to see a game nearly 5 years old, and still plagued by almost game-breaking issues that's been around for at least half that time.,... I've had character routes rollback or even reset while halfway through, events jump forwards and break my saves, and even character pregnancies either reset themselves or just cause a fatal error when in previous playthroughs they worked without any hint of a problem.
All of this has me tempted to refresh myself on Python and learn how Renpy works just so I can fix the problems myself, and I just might do that, but I still can't bring myself to contribute to DarkCookie's Patreon if he's just going to ignore serious bugs like this.

Only save in 2 places and everything you listed will never happen. Also, stop trying to outcode the devs. Simple and easy to do

It sounds like you enable features in the game and don't understand what they may break.

You can try my mod which enables rollback and limits it to be safe, i.e. minimizes the danger of breaking stuff like that. However, still do it at your own risk. The mod may also be helpful in repairing messed-up saves, as far as they can still be repaired.

Guys give me some hopium, will Pregnancy of Debbie happen any time soon or at all ?

I wish the dev could add sex during pregnancy and make it so that the relationship with Jenny, Diane and Debbie changes in such a way where they are actual mothers, having the children at home.

Personally i don't really about any charachters outside of Debbie, Jenny and Diane.
It sucks so much that the routes end so fast with these charachters and that after pregnancy there is no real change in relationship and interaction. Like i wish Debbie was made aware of MC being the father to Jennys child and expanding way more on being together with them and being a father with Debbie, Jenny and Diane and them being essentially wifes together in one household.

I feel kinda depressed about there not being any continuation of the story and relationship with these charachters.

I hope the dev comes through and gives us a ton more content with Debbie, Jenny and Diane.

Yes, it's going to happen once she wins her next poll. So you'll certainly have to wait a few years or so, but it will happen eventually.

I wish the dev could add sex during pregnancy...

Jenny will get a pregnant sex scene next update.

... and make it so that the relationship with Jenny, Diane and Debbie changes in such a way where they are actual parents, have the children at home.

This on the other hand won't be the case. There has never been any indication that DC would want to change the current system.

Well, they are only 3 among many characters in the game and they were never supposed to be the center of the game. So Jenny's and Diane's story are indeed essentially done and Debbie will get a rework at some point. Sure, there may be small additions to everybody here and there, but nothing major.

Well if you really only care about those three, then I have bad news. Jenny and Diane already had their content/stories refreshed, so they won't get anything new soon. Debbie also had a fresh-up but is still mostly on old technology, so there is a chance she will get reworked later. But first she has to win a poll and I am not up-to date if she already had one and when that finally will happen. First we have the tech update and then Rhonda, Annie and Judith.

My mod adds a pregnancy scene with Jenny at night in her bed. j4yj4m also mentioned that she will get more next update. I will probably add more in future mod versions but only for Jenny and Diane since those are the only two of your favorite ladies who can currently become pregnant, and only after the tech update.

Oh god, this hurts so much bros, why make such an awesome game only to hurt us xD

Dude you're the real MVP.

I wonder, would it actually be possible for you to expand on story of the charachters in the game ? Like actually modding in new content ? Dude, i'd be your first Patreon, if you could make it happen.

ALRIGHT!

Sorry but won't happen. This is the main objective of the goal, to stick to the original game as close as possible. Just add a bit of salt here and there

I saw the last post regarding STS on Patreon was in April? Shouldn't there also be a graphics update in the summer?

Hm? The last post/poll happened about three weeks ago on june 2nd. Next to that the tech update will indeed add, among other things, a widescreen resolution. Right now it looks like we'll get one or two scene updates before, though.

 

[randomvengeance]

Do we know what the next release date is?

 

[nitram5]

Taking into account the pace of work, it will be in about six months.

 

[Omnikuken]

Do we know what the next release date is?

We never know when the release is, mostly cause DC never puts dates around anything. Your best bet is to get ahold of the tracker and guesstimate a wild range of time. And as ^ dude said, it'll probably be 4+ months before anything happens. On top of it being "split" into ~2 art mini-updates and the tech build itself > we might still be on it for Xmas

Its actually crazy this game is now 5+ years old. I just checked this thread to see how far this game has come. I downloaded the game again and played and it really doesn't feel like 5+ years of content. The quality of the art is undeniable, even if its not your style of game. Just thinking about me downloading this game upon release to where it is know kind of disappoints.

I feel like the devs are essentially incentivized to not finish the game in like 2-4 years because the monthly earnings via Patreon are so high.

It's like with the federal government giving out contracts to companies, that are big enough, to keep asking for money and the government will pay and is ok with delay after delay. Lockheed Martin etc etc.

I wonder what kind of mechanic on Patreon or what an alternative game funding platform, one would have to come up with, is needed to discourage devs from keeping development going at an inappropriately slow pace only so that the gravy train never stops.
