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

Not happening. MC does everything or none at all. Either he gets the girl or she vanishes from him forever (June's case in particular, though that might change in Erik's remake). Even if there's a giant red warning in the route for every line of dialog, some duders will still yell NTR and throw a riot. Most "sharing" routes get raged upon already, imagine the meltdown if a girl got preg by another dude and you can't do anything about it, the internet would implode

eh...Sad but true.

Knocking a girl up definitely feels like a punishment which sucks for people who are into pregnancy. I just hope that DC drops some more scene batches in between updates or towards the end of SS's development, not only for pregnancy scenes but sex scenes in general.

Your idea for adding a girl dedicated to pregnancy content is honestly a good idea but the problem is that he will have to add yet another character which will take away from already existing characters and their (pregnancy) content. I'd rather have the current cast have a decent amount of pregnancy scenes so you'll have more variety and get to choose.

You got a solid point there sadly. And yeah it feels way more like a punishment than anything else.

Howdy there folks, I'll keep it short and on point... this is getting ridiculous. There are pages and pages of off topic here, pointless and meaningless random debates and arguments between members. This is NOT what the thread is about, you're not here to discuss the developer milking, you're not here to post far cry videos, you're not here to bicker with one another or anything inbetween. Stick to what this thread is about and that is the game itself. I just deleted two pages of nonsense, from this point onward either talk about the game or take it elsewhere.

Then mods should lock the entire thread as it seems a place made ad hoc for Omnikuken and happy friends for venting off in (dis)harmony with the counterpart. Or are we going towards the direction of WAL and its thread, that is where even negative reviews have been deleted for unknown reasons? Not going to comment further regards this topic. Cheers.

I just don't get what mods expect sometimes. The discord of porn games tend to be completely closed off, walled gardens.

If a game doesn't have content for half a year obviously people are gonna start talking other things vaguely about the game. Why is negativity not allowed?

This is a piracy site of all things and it's the place where you still can't say anything about devs?

 

[401Grem]

You deleted my post but you didn't deleted others who defending DC i dont think what you do is right . This is a pirate site you dont have right to complain about people opinion about how they talk about game you already pirating . And if someone talking about milking and you delete that post you should also delete The posts who defending DC too otherwise you just using your administrator power to defending DC. I don't care if you bans my account i had to talk my opinion
Sorry for bad english it's my 3rd language

The devs and how they do business is off topic, therefore not relevant.

how do i make the font bigger?

You can't. The Naughty Tribute Mod can.

Is there any quality of life changes confirmed in the tech update by the way? Because now is the best time to add those.

Wider screen so the phoners are happy to not fat finger the entire screen. And the code. So nothing for any1 on PC

How long does this dev plan to keep milking the subs?
The so-called tech update takes more time to release than building a skyscraper wtf...
Also, the mom route is the same for 4 years? No more story? What a waste...

Lol, how to call a nuke without even trying

So by that pro logic : either the mods are shills and do what I want or I'm magically not breaking the rules by posting my junk ....... Tinfoil hat intensifies

We're supposed to get a status update from DC at some point (according to the

) going into more detail about all the changes in the Tech Update. The huge number of added tasks, DC's caginess, and the sheer length of time this has taken makes me suspect they've gone above and beyond the original brief of widescreen and new code, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a few QoL improvements.

He's working on a new phone UI which will also add options like "story/dating progress" and other infos like locations, the player may need. Though I'm not sure, if they'll add it this time or whether it'll happen some time later on after the tech update.

Next to that the UI will be changed a bit and should be better (I don't recall what he changed, but I remember liking the outcome of that picarto poll )

Thinking about it, I'm actually not even sure what kind of qol improvements I'd want. I'd hope they'll finally get a real grip on the savegame issue and the new UIs are indeed badly needed. But beyond that, I actually kinda like that the game isn't too cluttered with information, etc. which makes some games feel a bit technical and less fluffy at times.

They did poll 3 "top bar" update ideas, dunno if any of those will be in the tech build

I think the wide screen idea wouldn't chang the size of characters, like in old version you only see 50% of the roon now you can see 80% of the room , they add some content in black area of the screen. Correct me if im wrong. I think the whole idea of of tech update was for DC and his team to make thing easier for them to do like coding but somehow they failed because its near 2 years and in this time they could have finished the whole game in old screen size we could have rhonda judith and the other girl i forgot her name by now .
Again sorry for bad english it's not my first language

Some dudes said the screen resolution got higher, so it's "zoomed out" on top of being wider. The scale would then be fucked : you got more space to fill, wider backgrounds and the girl models became smaller. Ish

"Make things easier" for future builds. They still need to redo everything now though, which is a pain and takes time. And what good would finishing the game in that time instead of the tech build bring ? You'd get 3-4 more routes, 2+ art styles for many girls, still small screen, janky to all hell code and that'd be it, since the game is "done" ...... Just accept that 3-4 dudes doing everything part time will take more time than DC wetdreamed 2 years ago and enjoy the ~33 scenes you'll have gotten while waiting

Now, there are some who would say the wider landscape will be enjoyed by PC players. I mean, this means more locations and some people want to immerse themselves by going full screen without having black bars on either side.

[swextal]

yes. it is a big waste of time

Ehm, no. It's not a waste of time. It's a rewrite of "some" code to open for new directions without bothering to add new stuff.

 

[swextal]

Has the dev given any reasons for why a tech update is necessary? Like what bonuses will it provide? Will it speed up future development time? Will they be able to add animations they couldn't do before?

It's as simple as rewriting and reviewing code to open for future updates and close paths that doesn't work out. If you don't know what a tedious task that is, even with well documented code, I simply won't explain it to you. Because you wouldn't get it anyway.

As a single developer, you have to stop and review the code so you don't write something that paint you into a corner and have to wait for the floorpaint to dry from time to time. And review the codebase.

They also have to redo every scene taking into account the new wider screen/backgrounds and recode all of those into the game

I know it would probably never happen cause of patreon rules...but for shiggles sake, who do you think would get more votes? Eve+odette3some or MC+not mom+ not mom's not sister+ not mom's not sister's not daughter/Niece 4some? my wet dream of a vote would be for the 4some

Who do I think? Looking at the numbers of the last few polls:

Eve and Odette.

From two of the last three polls -- Eve, all by herself, has beaten Diane by more than 10-points, Debbie by almost 20-points, and Jenny by 20-points or more.

You must be registered to see the links

30% = 26+4
Debbie and Diane 10% = 8+2
Debbie, Diane, Jenny 16% = 8+2+6

Of course, because Eve and Odette has had quite a bit of content added lately compared to the other three, patreon subscribers might think it's time for something new... nah, who are we kidding?
