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

[Stareagle lord]

Which is fine, and I would even agree that the tech update has been a big waste of time and it will have to be seen if it was really worth it. But this is mainly a statement for people demanding the abandoned tag, which we have seen is not the case since we see him actively working on it. Now as to the worth of said work, that's an entirely different matter. But people can't claim DC is doing nothing, because that's not true.

He really ought to have gotten someone who keeps an eye on the rest of the crew though.

Might be worth it if he also were after this game, be able to use the engine to make another good game.
I think once the 'new tech' engine drops, he probably will have 2 games running or 3
and keep updating this game for a few years...

 

[Stareagle lord]

Unless something happens - the games will never finish. DC will keep adding content on to this until he gets tired of doing so. People need to stop thinking that games need to be "completed," especially games on the patronage model. There's no motivation to complete a game to get it on shelves for sale to earn revenue, the revenue already comes in monthly.
I do appreciate that DC made it very clear in that announcement that the tech update will not include the Rhonda update. Now we can stop having people try to get their hopes up about that happening so that they can then bitch about it not happening. Straight up, folks... it ain't happening. Just the tech update.

It won't have Rhonda update, but it might have added update or new stuff to former arts because the coding itself seems to be taking ages...

Is this accurate? I have been checking in on this game once or twice a year for the past... 4 years now?? A year gap seems bigger than what I remember.

If you've been checking on this game once or twice a year, then you are aware of what's going on with the tech update. If not... See #10 and #9 of the 95th posting of my FAQ here: #73,396. The 96th will be posted in the next few days.

No, he won't. He'll continue focusing on Summertime Saga.

Yes, there will be some new art - as he has already stated - including new locations. But it won't have anything significant. Any new art adds to coding as well. Any new characters or poses adds to coding as well.

Don't get your hopes up by attempting to force some dreams into it. It's only going to be the tech update and the tech update, only - nothing else but which has already been stated up front. People read these prognostications and then they get it in their head that DC said it and then come back 6 months later to bitch why it didn't happen when it never was supposed to.

It's only the tech update and any new art/locations that DC has announced. Nothing more.

 

[PayneToTheMax]

I think new art scenes in the vein of intros for the girls seems like a solid addition if only from a narrative perspective.

[/htg/anon]

Sad they never update the diane's route anymore, that's the reason i played this game bruh

Hopefully it gets addressed when DC eventually adds pregnancy for Debbie. Logically (IMO), everyone in the household should have scenes in the shower, the pool, and MC's bedroom, and Debbie should be getting pool content in the future because on one of the streams DC had her in a bathing suit.

Hopefully the Next Update won't be about "JENNIEEEEYY" again.
I know she was voted by the fans but Come On.

 

[vexx94]

honestly i'm as disappointed as you but i can't blame the guy, seriously in 5 years how much money has he made? i wouldn't be surprised if he's already a millionaire, he's probably enjoying life and dedicating 1 hour to the game now and then to keep the cash flowing. congrats to him! he made it in life just by creating a game, a dream many of us share

You and I have both been here long enough to know that bitching about the tech and Rhonda updates together will continue to happen regardless. It's just now there's something official and current to throw back at them. And even then...

 

[TwoHeavens]

Why do you think we are subbed? I haven't ever subbed to any developer. That's why I come to F95 - to get games for free, even when developers like DC already offer their games for free. Just like you. I just don't bitch about waiting for something that's free for me, for you, for everyone.

Of the 6.5 million people who have active accounts on F95 - fewer than 5% (probably fewer than 1%) are subbed to any developer on Patreon or SubscribeStar. You're asking the wrong people. Go to the developer's discord and ask.

I love when people pull made up statistics out of their ass in an attempt to prove their point lmao

Any hero for the status update?

Any hero for the status update?

Hero1 will copy/paste it when they get online, just like they normally do for every single patreon post. It's not going to tell you an estimated release date. It's going to be the same as the previous 5 monthly status reports - just giving you a rundown of what they say they've done the past month-ish.

Hopefully the Next Update won't be about "JENNIEEEEYY" again.
I know she was voted by the fans but Come On.

the next update is the Tech Update. The one after that is Rhonda. After that is Annie. After that is Judith. It's been known for years.

 

[Ayam85]

Looks like Annie, Principal and their underground cult will be released in 2026 at this rate.

hmm... that... actually looks like a fair amount done... consider me intrigued considering all the ho-ha on all sides about the tech update...

well, fingers crossed that DC actually gets this tech update out in next few months, have held off playing through a new game again as a "just in case", long enough that I'm actually starting to forget things.

See this about how that was calculated.

 

[Xupuzulla]

The biker bar having a Chilean flag instead of the Texas flag is supposed to be a joke or DC fucked up?

It's a Chilean biker bar.
