Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5258] [Kompas Productions]

[PayneToTheMax]

Mainly indeed because there aren't many really good 2D games out there.
Sure, there's a ton of nice japanese VN/RPG maker games and there are some others, but there isn't really a large number of 2D games which come close to SS, once you combine all factors like amount of content, art, animations, characters, story, etc.

And worse, those who do come close or are arguably better in some/most aspects, have (very) slow releases, too.

That's why people stick around, even if it would be better for them to just let go and care for something that's actually worth their time. Those who like DC's streams, etc. at least have a reason to be here...

I personally like Aurelia a lot. That's an even more unique game on this website considering it's retro graphics to the max. But instead of playing any of those games we got people shitting up the place because they know it's easy reactions.

But considering how other threads look like on here I think it's just the general state of the website. There IS a reason they changed the rules to prohibit complaining about devs taking too long and how much they earn. Too bad the mods aren't enforcing that shit it seems.

Yeah, I think SS just covers a massive playerbase. Many people (who like 2D art) will find somethey they like and few will see something they dislike enough to not play the game.

Once we are talking about games like Aurelia, which has a specific art style, or let's say trainer games, which feature a specific playstyle/scenario, you are starting to lose a lot of people who just don't like that style and as such won't play the game (for long).

As said, even there are so many new games every month, there still aren't many which are 1:1 alternatives. To me, the fact that SS is still this popular, even though the last 3.5 years have been this bad, pretty much proves that.

Yeah, it's pre-mainstory art though. I don't recall if they'll keep it or if it's going to be removed in the tech update.

Edit: Like "my pig princess" for example is really, really great objectively, but there's no way it's ever going to be as popular as SS in the mainstream, simply because it's ultimately a furry game.

That's why people stick around, even if it would be better for them to just let go and care for something that's actually worth their time. Those who like DC's streams, etc. at least have a reason to be here...

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough, people who come here to discuss content make sense. It's the people I mention in the part of my post that you didn't quote who make no sense, those who are "trolling the thread with the same shit daily."

There's not enough mods nor too much incentive to nuke entire shitposting from threads... Look at that rule like a way to "help" the mods to discover what threads mostly the users come to disrespecting Da Rulz so, in a way they can login and directly begin to nuke

I think that is supposed to be Hillary, she was blowing him in the bathroom at the mall as well.

Stuff off Discord from a few days ago, Seems Jenny much like her personality is a massive bitch to work on. For context Vole did Main story 3 and half of Eve. Really puts just how much content Jenny has in prospective.

Are these the posers or coders?

They're two of the posers that were brought on for the tech update, Vole makes pretty fast work of what they give him I forgot to mention in that last post but he also handled Diane's first round of posing and he does a good job explaining how things work in regards to what they're working on at a given time. Toxic's a newer addition to the team, he's worked on one of the main story parts and the first half of Eve.

 

[Ghostload]

I'm impressed he managed to draw all 680 of their poses with only one hand.

Spoiler: Wait that's how one usually draws. Never mind.

The male protagonist in this game doesn't look too bad gives off a Czech / Russian appearance in the face department in other words he is HOT.

Jenny was probably the biggest route since she has the most content, right? I remember you saying ages ago that they were saving the big ones for last, but I don't know if we've ever gotten a strict accounting of what routes have actually been completed (or at least as completed as they'll get at whatever phase of development they're in, anyways).

Do you know what ones they have left to do? If memory serves I know I've seen discussion of Eve, Jenny, Diane, Debbie, and the Main Stories being worked on at various points. Roxxy has to be a big one with all the stupid little minigames woven through her route and her varying interactions with both Eve and Jenny.

Not to mention a preggo Roxxy. Of course since the pregnancies don't really have any impact on the main story or even the character routes, what I really want to see is more interactions between them. Of all the girls so far only Roxxy has even visited MC's home and met Debbie, nobody else. That oughta change.

But while I wait I should find my next h game to scratch the itch given to me by this, Daily Lives and Insexual Awakening. Hopefully something with the same great art and compelling relationships.

I honestly have no idea. I don't like doing this very often but here's the posing left to do from the detailed tracker, if you can think of something and it's not here it's done. Green checks are for stuff we've been told via Discord is either done or almost done, blue is for stuff older posers who left were working on and are status unknown other than some work was done. Everything else I have no clue on because I haven't seen it talked about. I'll also show what the "Changes in the last 24 hours" section of the task tracker on the website looks like in depth, I chose two days ago because it's a better view of what's up. Coding Jenny and bug fixing Debbie based off the QA testing.

I am aware of the many games added every day. I am aware of the number completed. I am aware of the number getting updates. And yet people keep coming in here to complain there's no new content - when there is a shit ton of content available everywhere else - why are they so fixated on this content? While this title sits in limbo with the tech update, people should go do something else instead of trolling the thread with the same shit daily.

Because this game is emblematic of a bad incentives' system that plagues kick-starter, patreon and other crowdfunding platforms. It's simply too profitable for such games to never be finished. When people complain about DC and Summertime Saga they also, by implication, complain about Star Citizen, Project Phoenix and games like that.

Not sure what to say to you man but as long as there are no updates, no content and no information about the progress, and the money are still pouring in, people would complain. After all, if you tighten up the noose then maybe in a desperate attempt to regain some trust devs would show some progress. Worse comes to worst, the game dies, but there wasn't much 'alive' to begin with, right?
