Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0-wip.5791] [Kompas Productions]

[mattius77]

So the game is good but the update?

The game is excellent in its current state. There are well-fleshed (heyooooo) out characters with distinct arcs that lead players to vicariously enjoy some form of virtual sexual congress with over 30 ladypersons while playing as the Main Character - and you can patch it so three of those fuckables are MC's family! It is well-written and funny, which makes it entertaining and engaging in a way that's not common for games of this genre. I feel it is the best h-game I've ever played.

It has not been updated for...... three years? Two-and-a-half years? A good long while. I personally regard the game as more or less 'complete' as it is, and everything that's been added since around v0.15* or so is essentially DLC. Expansion content. YMMV, but I guess that's a big part of why I don't get my ass all honked out over how much money the developer is or is not making.





* Don't quote me on that version number, the point is (for my time investment) once you can bang the family the story of a game of this sort is over. Once the main character can have a threesome with his Mother and Aunt, and impregnate his Sister......... I mean, why would you even go to your prom much less care who your date was? MC essentially has on-demand sex to choose from three highly desirable ladypersons, one of whom pays you money to bone her. You'd be too tired to ever leave your fucking house.

They are a bunch of girls who dont have sex scenes yet,Judith being the most requested one.
The game is not even close to be finished in that sense.

Thanks for letting me live rent-free in your head, but the conditions of the domicile leave much to be desired.

Also, I have stated time and again to people in this thread, mark your calendar for 30 April 2024 so that you can click on that REPORT button in the first post of this thread to request the Abandoned flag. That is the first day it is eligible for the flag to be applied, per F95 rules.

Edit: and yes, if DC were to say that, the flag would also apply... per F95 rules.

when was the last update.not watched this for a long time.18 months between updates seems a bit much in my opinion to put abandon tag on- but thats a question for f95 staff.im just curious how a team with over 30 thousand patrons performs

according to patreon last update 31 oct 2022 hence the date listed above,what was it 3 small updates in 2022(dev calls them small)this game is great,was great before 2022.shame really

 

[PayneToTheMax]

Still good enough to rub one out, and that's honestly the only thing that ought to count with a porn game. If you got stuff to wank it to, then it did its job.

Of course, if you're like one of the five people who care about Judith, well...

You can really see where last months $60-70k went! Real bang for the buck right there.

Anyway. See y'all next month on the next installment of SummerTime Wallpaper Saga...

 

[Somnus]

The new gloryhole will look awesome. When? We'll never know...

 

[naoligopraisso]

The game could just be about wallpapers, then there would be updates every month, "Wallpapers Saga".

Hold on,

"Writing:
Worked on new scenes in Rhonda's update."

This means that there is still non-code related stuff to do for the Rhonda update?

Man wasn't this update's main focus on the code/tech stuff? Why not take the long time it has taken to implement all of the new quality of life stuff for the tech update and try to finish on the meantime the writing for the next couple of updates?

My best guess is that DC has been busy with expanding the existing art into the 16:9 format, but still it seems unreasonable.

Anyway, I won't complain, I've given my money to DC in the past but since I am not giving him any more money until he starts dropping updates more often then I guess I don't have the right to complain, I got my money's worth for the time I have put into this game.

Just my two cents.

Let me see if I understand the dilemma here. You supported the dev with a monthly subscription fee for presumably a good long while, during which time he clearly misled his supporters about the timetable of the releases of updates for his game (we're now about 14 months past the release of the last update to Summertime Saga), and you as a result stopped paying him for the service he wasn't providing.

Why aren't you allowed to complain? Maybe nobody cares what you think, and maybe it doesn't even make you feel better about the money you wasted, but you have paid for your right to complain and more. If you like, compare it to the cost of Starfield. Starfield costs $70. Anybody who paid for Starfield and didn't like it has the right to complain. Well, if you paid at least $70 for Summertime Saga over the time you supported its Patreon, I think you have every fucking right to ream DC, metaphorically speaking, for his shitty business practices. I think you have the right to complain if you paid any amount for what is now clearly a scam, too, but I think $70 is a very meaningful threshold for the point where you have bought the right to complain if you're worried you're a freeloader, as it is the going price for a new and (presumably) complete AAA video game right now.

The standard that only people who are currently paying a $5/$10 monthly subscription for an indie porn game get to complain (especially since those people are least likely to complain because then they look dumb) sucks. Complain! Complain away! You have my blessing and encouragement, and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't have an opinion worth listening to.

Anyone who says some version of "stop complaining, the game is free" is a moron.

The game is only free because it's crowdfunded but it's not really free either, in the sense that people had to support it over time for it to remain free. If everyone stopped supporting it because "it's free" then the game would get shut down tomorrow.

The people who come into the thread and complain about how shitty the development is and how they no longer support the patreon, are as valid as the people who continue to give money for wallpapers

You can complain all you want,DC never comes here through.
If you want your opinion to actually be heard you should talk to him in the livestreams.

Stop complaining and wank. If you got time to bitch, you also got time to work off that frustration with your hand.

I would say that this game is realistically worth 10 euros at best anythign more and you are entering full 3D games territory.
