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

[Kefkatheclown]

Yeah with the amount of "wallpaper content" updates on the dev's website, the thought of them milking the Patreon money is not unrealistic, and now I'm on that boat too.

To be fair with how big his game is, it would be dumb if he paid attention to these threads

 

[Lavance]

i guarantee you if not for this being a porn game there would be many youtube videos exposing it already

thats... actually true

 

[GaRbS]

I think you and a lot of other people on here underestimate just how ambitious the game really is. If were really that simple why aren't there more? Name 10 completed 2d sandbox adult visual novels of the same quality. Hell, name 5. Hell, name any.

DC is the top adult game developer on Patreon in terms of the number of paid subscribers. There are a couple who rank higher in terms of dollar amount.

Spoiler: More, if you're interested

DC does not bring in $2 million per year. Per data collected by Graphtreon, based upon past performance of average subscription amount per paid subscriber, DC has never made even $1 million per year from Patreon subscribers - his single best month was about $80,000.

I am not denying the thrust of your post - I am simply making sure that there is a better understanding of the data.
Right now, there's no significant change. It's within expectations based upon the performance of his numbers over the past year.

he said same quality not higher quality

 

[Gzowl_LiP]

AI slop is for people that lack any real talent

Because AI is for talentless people, and being lazy to learn how to draw shouldn't be rewarded.

This is silly.

1. Players can tell good AI and poor AI art apart. It's easy to tell who is relying entirely on AI, and who is using it to improve on their work;

2. You're not against the second, because every developer uses it. Every digital tool is using AI and that precedes the emergence of AI-generated art;

3. The overwhelming majority of porn games is 3D, relying on Daz, Koikatsu and Honey Select, among other tools. In the majority of cases, devs are basically playing with dolls. I don't see why 2D devs should be put to a higher standard.

4. It's a porn game. It really doesn't take that much talent to jack one off. There's enough devs out there who seem to forget this simple fact.

if DC is lazy, despite drawing all his shit himself, then what would someone be who doesn't even put in the minimum effort that DC does?

Punctual.

Not a sandbox from what I remember, but worth to be mentioned as 2dcg western-made game.

[CUNTBLAZER420]

I don't want to rub one out to something a fucking computer made. How hard is that for people to understand? AI has no place in porn OR human art in general. I will never accept AI art, deepfakes, or AI voice overs in any capacity. These things are not a tool, they are a crutch, a cost cutting scheme and malicious in nature.

Isn't Karryn's Prison a Japanese game?

If it is then it doesn't have the tag on this site.

Annie
Judith
Lopez & Martinez
Rhonda
Coach Bridget
Mrs. Smith
Abby
Jane

There's some other characters like the moms of certain school characters, characters who have a little content but need more, like the lifeguard and the nun, and there's also recently added characters that don't have any content yet.

So there are plenty of characters we haven't hooked up with. It's going to be very long before Summertime Saga is feature complete.

Who are Abby and Jane again? I completely forget lol. But yeah, I think Annie's mom was the one I was referring to.

Overhauling the game has taken them close to 3 years (?) and isn't going to be done anytime soon when it was supposed to only take ~4 months. DC has never been good at managing, in fact he's terrible at it and admits he just wants to draw.

Then why not hire a real project manager? From the impression I get here of his success he can probably afford to.

The struggle is self-evident. We're never gonna get anything other than isolated quests, at least with the characters that already have content.

Booo, I wouldn't let him off the hook that easily. Those existing characters are the ones people have known for years and have an attachment to. It hasn't even been that long for me and tbh remembering the girls from your list, I care much less about them in comparison to the ones we already got to know deeply.

These wouldn't happen to all be 2d games? I recognize some at least and may check out the others, but I don't the 3d look.

1.Four Elements Trainer: slightly lower quality art and animation, but I'll count it: +1
2.Good Girl Gone Bad: Pure VN, traced art: -1
3.Princess Trainer: The OG, I'll count it: +1
4.Katawa Shoujo: No sandbox, pure VN: -1
5.Space paws: Lower quality art, but I'll count it: +1
6.Book 5: Untold Legend of Korra: Another Avatar game, worse than FET: -1
7.Insexual Awakening: Shota trash, taking off extra: -2
8.Friendship with benefits: Light sandbox elements, art ok, but writing is terrible. Pony game.: +1
9.My Tuition Academia: Another TwistedScarlett. Art is fine, a bit bland, writing is mid to bad.: +1
10.Karryn's Prison: Can confirm, Japanese: -1

So your grand total comes to 3, as I see it. Now the real challenge, find 7 more WITHOUT listing a parody game. I'll allow parody characters(StS has them), but not a full parody game.

This game is so fucking bad and the dev is the biggest scammer around. This is a miracle... He makes 100k a month with absolute shit. People really are stupid... or this could be a brilliant new money laundering scheme.
