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

[Username7]

They went with number 2. Which is okay on it's own. The problem was that they never addressed the state of the issues they had, never explained the scale of it and just went along the ride. Which is why after almost 3 years, we never got a meaningful update.

The worst thing is they'll say they have addressed over and over. The problem is it was never in a way that 90%+ of the player base would ever see how many times they talked about every set back to use your house analogy a poser might mention "We found a ton of water damage and are going to have to rip up the whole floor." the problem is it'd be posted in Discord at 4AM EST and quickly buried or DC would mention something on stream and unless you were there for the 30 seconds he talked about the rat chewed pipes you'd never know they were going to be tearing out the plumbing. So unless you stalked the dev team and subjected yourself to the mild torture that can be a DC stream almost every day you'd be just as blind as someone who just found the game first time last week. Its what got me to start leaking shit a partial picture is better than none at all.

Imagine if F95 posters focused their autism towards actual scammers

Imagine if F95 posters focused their autism towards actual scammers, like banks, insurance companies, or the pharmaceutical industry. They could change the world...

Do you actually go anywhere but this site if you actually believe that, people complain about those things constantly. Also get your lips off the devs ass that you need to deflect warranted criticism.

People say the exact same shit about 4chan. Turns out most people happen to put extra effort into things they like. Shocker.

This took 8 years and 60k patrons to draw

Don't care about the abandoned tag because it changes nothing, but the fact right after that dropped some people have asap started to shit on a (bad) coder for a 3+X(?) years delay as only culprit is just amusing. Some users who code for a living already posted multiple times here they could have literally made everything from scratch. It doesn't fix the fact DC has 0 management skills and his actual coder/coders have no idea about their own job.

The tag is only going to be here for a month anyway,they are rushing that pre pre pre pre tech update release.
Darkcookie doenst care about F95 BTW

At least now DC will get their asses up and start doing some shits and stop posting bullshit on their patreon.

There are """people""" here that didn't see the writing on the wall for YEARS.

DC don't give a shit about this site . He will start working when his money flow starts to dry up . Unfortunately i don't see that happening any time soon. Just proves that the World is not a fair place. People with disposable income (who actually has the funds to support a scammer on monthly basis) are so stupid.

but they released updates (definitely the pre tech ones and the main story ones at least) after dogeek was gone right? how was this possible if the code was in such a bad state? couldn't they have finished the game more or less using the old code and then do a tech update with a seperate team after it is done (even if the scope got downgraded) while DC and the main team works on a new project?

Do you have something bigger, I can't really see those?

My bank account is $-0.27, I can't jerk off to that.

Here ya go:

Never thought I'd see the day. Hopefully this is the kick in the arse DC needs to actually progress with the game. He could get an AI to rewrite half his codebase for him and have it done in a week.

It's hard to explain but think of STS as a house of cards how well it's built is how stable it is and how much can be added before it becomes unstable. Well the main story was the limit of how big this house could get before it started collapsing and more time had to be spent rebuilding the collapsed pile of cards then adding new ones it's why what was supposed to be two updates with a few months in-between ended up three updates and taking over a year. The end result is that while yes they could keep adding to the house of cards but dev times would only increase as they spent more and more time fixing it. The pre techs being just a few new scenes added to completed stories didn't put to much pressure on the card house unlike adding a whole new floor which is what Rhonda, Annie and Judith each would've been. In fact Dogeek not leaving comments or proper labels all but assured this had to happen huge swaths of the game have no instructions on what they do or how to fix them should they fail. and yes this is one hundred and ten percent DC's fault! I won't defend his dog shit project management. He ignored the tech debt until it blew up in his face, He sat back and paid people to do work without ever checking to see if they were doing it in a way that wouldn't blow up in his face. He made this bed now he must lie in it. Also for some added context Stray was hired to be Dogeek's assistant and within four months Dogeek was fired. Coincidence? I think not.

as soon as the Abandoned tag was stamped on the game , lazy cookie move his ass to put something together to update the game.
'cause perception is a powerful weapon .
