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

[Saraf]

Hah I dunno,I kinda admire what DC has been pulling off.
Pretend working on a tech update for a(lets face it)rather simplistic game for multiple years under the guise of denoodeling your code and future proofing it.
So not just does he earn money for basicly no work but he also can keep doing it well into the future.
Its such a fantastic hussle that would only ever work with very specific consumer groups(like coomers...or cultists)that I just have to be impressed by it.

Anyway,here for the Abandoned-tag,the closest I will ever be of becoming part of history.

Thanos didn't get his wish though.

The game, for today's standards, is barely above average. The fanbase is annoying. The dev is lethargic.

So, yeah, I am hoping that the game gets finished as fast as possible. Because that means DC will leave the scene, and that's a huge net positive for the scene.

 

[Lukereds]

So is ended and abandoned?

 

[McSlut]

some dude said DC logged in here yesterday.. if that's true he definitely knows about the abandoned tag, i don't think he cares so much about it in the sense that he completly changed plans to get rid of it again but at the same time people from his discord and on picarto are going to bother and annoy him about the tag so i think he has some reason to get rid of it again

but yeah the main reason for drip feeding the tech update is probably more so that even his most hardcore supoorters are getting angry and he knows the finished tech update will take another 1 1/2 years (trying to be optimistic here)

I'm so glad his fans started to get impatient
A little positivity here but honestly most porn game devs would of ignored or just flat out ban people from servers if someone complained *cough* Bone Tales *Cough*
But the bar is so low these days lmao

Long overdue for the abandoned tag. Even if people don't pay, those who pay for something deserve more than a tech update.

Once DC leaves the scene, it will be an explosion of new supporters for other games that actually deserve the money.

looks like it got abandoned on here kekw.

 

[Oberoth]

Last night I stayed up till 3 waiting for the "Abandoned" tag, and today I woke up chill, hopped on here, and honestly expected the admins to keep playing dumb, but pleasantly surprised, ironic cuz the tech update seems to be finally coming. I just wanted them to give it the tag for forum rule purposes, no exceptions, let's be real, this doesn't affect DarkCookie in any way, but I've heard the Patreons are also livid, hence why the release of this next update, which is already a year overdue, seems to be speeding up.

 

[naoligopraisso]

Wow, Abandoned Saga got abandoned tag, nice.

The angriest hardcore DC supporter is like ''That's it, you've crossed the line, this month I will only give you half of my paycheck''

The guy is constantly at 27-28k patrons. He just can't lose enough backers for him to ever care that much. If he lost 2/3 of his supporters he would still make great money. That's the main problem, he's too big to ever care. 5k patrons? Still a good amount of money. 2k? Still decent.

I mean if the guy posted on Patreon tomorrow saying he's retiring and the project is done he would probably still have like 7k backers for the next 2 years.

Some people believe that they need to defend him constantly and pay him for the next 50 years because his content made them cum 7 times

My point is - the patreon well will never dry up because his fanbase is deluded and cult-like

Great post.
Hes just too big to fail because of the cult of both patreons and non patreon players.
The crumbs updates are going to be celebrated by many but when are we going to get actual new content?
Who knows.

Sure, inertia is a thing on Patreon, but still, people have lost the trust of their herd over stupid decisions: Silver and Big Brother / Glamour for example.

great, abandoned, now patrons cancel ur subscription and leave this scamer DC, i can't understand how people can be this foolish, this man blueballing all of you and makin it the slowest he can so he can milk more of ur money, wake up people

 

[Munchking]

The time has finally come. Go ahead, moderator who marked and deleted my last post in here as off-topic for saying what everyone else was...I'm already satisfied.

someone should ask dogeek on twitter what he thinks about DC and his team solely blaming him for this mess. they make him look like a complete idiot who didn't know wtf he was doing and there is always two sides to a story.

i still think it's sus that they let him do his thing for 2 years without asking him once why he is naming things "booger aids" or whatever. the complete lack of oversight about what his sole coder is doing is definitely on DC. i think he just didn't care as long as the patreon money didn't stop. simple as.

People who don't know first thing about programming can't be realistically expected to supervise the game's coding standards. They'd need to know better than the guy responsible for coding, if they're to realize shit is fucked.

(and having more people on the project isn't necessarily an answer -- more often than not you'll just get different opinions from them, and without knowing yourself first thing about the subject, you won't know who's in the right, if there even is the "right" at all)
