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

[UBOLSOBS]

Started a new game but now i can't really progress further than the part where Judith is scared to go in the lockeroom. Everytime i go out it automatically starts the conversation again but this time there's no one inside (i've also talked to all the teachers but can't talk to the Principal in order for Anne to unlock the locker) anyone know a fix?

Do what I did/
Quit the game and try again.
Ans if that doesn't work try the last save.

The network mini-game sucks. Been at it all freeking night.

Increase intelligence

 

[Automata]

18.2 version?
What does that even mean?
It's still 743mb

It means they released the entire game again with fixes instead of just the patched files. (Not sure how renpy compiles, so I don't know what files you would need for a smaller 'patch' only release.)

Their development approach was wrong from the beginning, I can't understand how there are so many people working on this and still make such a mess of everything. We had many versions with game breaking bugs. Yes, I know how development works, been doing that for 15 years. Looking at this game, with the current content, current code, a 6-month release time should extend the content with at least 33% scenes, even with code refactoring.
Even the way they redesign EVERY chars over and over (thus making save games incompatible), proves that they have absolutely no story in mind or a full vision of what this game should be.

And still, they make a lot of money, for reasons that are beyond me, while other games and developers that put much more work into their products and release way more quality games, struggle with a couple of hundred patreons only.

If you're a Patreon, STOP YOUR PLEDGES until they change their ways, otherwise you'll continue to get this shit over and over the next 5 years. A sudden 25-33% drop in their income will probably get their heads back in the game.

I agree but as for why folks may still be supporting it I think it's because the characters are amazing and the art is perhaps the best art out there in my opinion and no other game is particularly close in that regard. I do agree with what you're saying though.

Well that wasabi crap the master taught him didn't work.
Dexter kicked his ass and got sent to the Hospital.

Someone says the milk man is back his milk machine? Nah, that just normal business. Just like EA - Anthem. Making $$$$

Anyone else stuck in Jenny route where you can finally enter her computer?

I wait at night, see her Camslut profile, do the network mini-game and the MC said he can't wait to see her video at his computer. But then I'm stuck and nothing happens.

I've read that you're supposed to do the mini-game again on MC computer but when I click on the network icon on MC computer, a bug happens and it switch to Jenny's computer.

Anyone else had that problem?

 

[deivias]

Devs made over $300,000 for this update just to put it into perspective.

It honestly boggles my mind people are willing to give so much money to Patreon devs for very very little in return, even the totally garbage games that have no chance of ever being completed still can make 5k+/month.

It's easy money, if i'm raking in $54,000/month what incentive do i have to actually complete a game or do anything but the bare minimum to keep that going?

 

[The Rogue Hero]

is this game more RPG style where you can do everything in one run through/ go back to do things you missed or is it one of the games where you can miss stuff if you don't use a walkthrough or do multiple run-throughs?

Gentlemen, please. Keep it civilized. On a positive note, most if not all reported bugs from 18.0 got resolved in two days.
I don't know how may of you work in a IT related job where you create and design software but after years evolving a project redoing large parts of it always creates tremendous problems. And the argument "he gets x amount each month that should speed it up" is simply wrong. At a certain stage in development adding more people to a project just further delays it.
Also insulting does not help motivation. If you really want the project to prosper create structurized feedback.

On a personal note I like that old content got redone. After playing through SS so many times it's refreshing not to wade through 100% known content to get a few new scenes.

 

[Dole]

Have anybody aso this bug?

Play with cheat.

Under construction Game is in Alpha ... and you can play it normal further after clicking?

French classroom
Home night

I get it 2xtimes and it is only Day 2.

that's not a bug, you are remote accessing her computer, go to her camslut profile and find her saved videos

Except when it comes to QA. A project with this kind of resources(and time) should have no all-encompassing critical bugs(affecting everyone, and stopping progress). Most of these bugs should have been quite apparent early on in the progress tree as well, might have been more understanding if it was towards the end of a 30-point story line or requiring a very specific approach to occur.
Smiled when I found no player.get_money in the pizza minigame code and thought I'd screwed up when pasting something in, but nope the devs didn't add it. Meaning no one actually payed attention while(if) testing it after code change, that speaks volumes of the QA.

Thats true, but it may also cause them to just abandon the game if it becomes too unprofitable.

That's why I said a 25-33% drop in their income, not > 50% Just enough to raise some real alarms in their team.

Every time i get these....What to do?

 

[Jamiek]

Every time i get these....What to do?

Are you able to hit ignore? Usually when I get these errors in renpy i just skip or ignore. But if the coding is really bad somethings you are stuck and will have to load a previous save.

 

[Deleted member 833007]

Jesus Christ...so many frustration
of the fans regarding making the girls pregnant lol....That's something I try to avoid in game and in RL.

 

[terratest]

So I have the cant pay jenny 500 bug, is my saved completely fucked?

 

[crief]

I hate when dev release their game update/fixes/patch like this, there's only few changes/addition but they didn't provide link for the update only, you must redownload the whole games.

For those who already download the 0.18.0 or 0.18.1 version of the game, here's the update for version 0.18.2 (for PC version only). so you don't have to redownload the whole games.

You must be registered to see the links

On a personal note I like that old content got redone. After playing through SS so many times it's refreshing not to wade through 100% known content to get a few new scenes.

If it was done like you say, there won't be any need to replay it again for some new scenes, because the save game would be compatible. You know, like in all the other 99% of the games here.
But since they rework existing scenes -> bam, no compatibility.

Just for fun facts, here's what @Nenad A. is doing for his game, Willy D:
- save games are not compatible with the previous version, because of the engine he uses, Visionaire Studio. There's no way to overcome this at the moment.
- so what does he do ? HE REPLAYS THE GAME HIMSELF EVERY RELEASE. This means 2 paths (incest and non-incest), with a lot of collectibles and walking in the game and creates the save games himself so you're ready to play the new content instantly.
- releases are made every TWO WEEKS with enough content.
- if I were to count the content he puts EVERY 6 MONTHS, it puts to shame all that SS ever done.
- he's just ONE GUY. Actually no, he's one HELL OF A GUY and a pleasure to talk to him on his Discord.
- the game is at least at the same level as SS, if not better.
- he only has a few hundred patreons.

Yeah, people suck.
