Ren'Py Abandoned Summertime Saga [v0.20.16 Pre-tech] [Kompas Productions]

[Qoo-Rilla]

These sometimes advertised that the save files would work even after the update. Miracle ministerial speeches and blank promises. Have they ever worked on a new update? It would be worth the point to already fulfill the promises. You can't always start this game from the beginning. 5/5 shit

Can someone tell how the new hscenes are?

Don't Complain about the slow work.
Do like me, Pledge for one month, and then cancel it, and redo it once new content is released.
i fully understand people is angry for pledging for ½ year for 20 mins added content. just pull you pledge and activate it again when you see fit

In other, continue to be a plunk

Who or what is NLT?

nlt is the guys who make treasure of nadia

This is one of my fav games, I love the art so there is also a possibility for me being biased but who cares. crazy long update schedule and the fact of being forced to start new game each and single time after the release can be a turn of for some but i personally think its worth it. crazy potential

Complete the pizzas until the end.

my god, sigh gonna get it done

 

[Sehday]

how do you get the third maria scene?

 

[ZTex]

Tried doing this and the game still fails to find it. I'm wondering if something in the game's code has changed.

It works for me. file is literally just named patch.rpa

 

[nguyencongtu]

save file pls

 

[jczs97]

Hmm this has gotta be the most underwhelming update yet. Still liked it but nothing compares to old content and Roxxy update. And ive been playing for a long time.

 

[KissKissStudio]

yeah this game has nothing more to offer. long update times and u get mediocre scenes.

 

[tonyplees]

So what do I need to do to see the new stuff? Just do the Mom and Sister story or more?

This is actually an issue with Renpy and complex sandbox games such as this one. It may not be the best engine for such games.

When DC adds a new storyline, it needs new variables to be created/set. To avoid Renpy crashes when an unassigned variable is read, they are usually initialized at the beginning of the game. However when you load a save, any new variable is not set, and then if you try to use them (being in a scene that tests for the variable to check for new events or dialogues) the you have a crash. There are ways to avoid such conditions, that were implemented for example in Bright Past, however for some reason DC did not implement it in this game.

It is stated in the OP that the saves won't work, and that's how the game works. If you are unsatisfied with this, then I suggest that you pledge on DC's Patreon and then maybe you can request that he implements compatibility features. However don't be surprised that releases take more time for no additional content.

just play a bit until you got saved by tony the owner of pizza store, it'd start there

To my knowledge (reading a post on their Patreon a while ago) they have implemented such a method. The problem is that part of the game has to be rewritten for it to work properly. One of the offending storylines, as I recall, is Erik's. But the Patreon's decide new content, and they haven't voted for it to be remade.

All of this is simply from memory from reading up about it, probably around the time the 0.19-0.19.5 dropped, so forgive me if I forget some crucial things. Or everything in-between.
