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

[Keitaro420]

What is "art" anyway? Is it animation? is it a scene? Is it a character drawing? a batch of drawings?

De tu arte a mi arte, prefiero miarte
From your art to my art, I prefer my art

I was referencing what it meant on his progress report.

That's like asking for the impossible to be done... Well, I mean it is.

 

[Oriandu]

People need to stop asking this its pointless with this game this dev brings 4 updates a year and there is not set date for those my tip check this game evry month once at most

Shit, if your only concern is the actual updates then you should ignore this thread entirely and just watch for the game to pop up on the latest updates tab.

One task usually indeed means a section of work. Like this time for example drawing/redrawing the whole car dealership was one task (just as were other locations), while creating poses, etc. for sections of the story or scenes are others. In the end the whole tracker isn't very precise, especially given that we never know how far the work on each task has progressed and how big it actually is in the first place.

Edit: As far as I'm aware right now, the scenes are done and two still are being animated by AEHentai. Oddly enough writing actually seems to be a bit of a bottleneck this time and DC still doesn't seem to have gotten the last detailed assets he needs to create from Sploosh (stuff like poses for characters in certain situations, them holding items, etc.) - so those seem to be last things left.
Hearing that, I'd guess that we'll get quite a bit more story this time compared to other updates, but maybe that's just me wishing things.

@ZaraMode:
There's never a set date, so all that can be done is to look at the trackers and to listen to DC's streams occasionally. I'd personally say we should get it in about two to three weeks, given what he said on stream but it may just as well be four.

 

[SavageKing]

I hope there will be a way to turn off the Trans/ Futa images an make them all normal females. After all not everyone likes that fetish.

When will be the next update?

Yes.

I really like your patience

If I remember correctly, this has been so for the last couple of updates already (art being finished first). Plus, Dogeek meanwhile quit.

Wow this game is in production for almost 4 years and they say its not milk ... right!

i have a question, i used Unren.bat to extract image.rpa file, but when i open image, a lot of photos have this problem! View attachment 570286 View attachment 570284

is that although the images are with .png extension, they are actually webp images, to use them you usually need to convert them with xnconvert for example
or with

You must be registered to see the links

: online covertor if you only need some images

I'm using K-Lite Codec standard(the webp codec of it is better than the one of win10) and irfanview the maybe best image viewer for win. I had the same problem.

Actually, that's google's webp coding, which is basically a more efficient png coding. The images are webp coded files and just have been renamed from *.webp to *.png (simple file rename) to be recognized by Ren'Py.

The Ren'Py engine has no problem recognizing that it's actually not a png encoded file but a webp file, and reads them without issue. Also, Google Chrome can display them just fine. Windows explorer and other programs are not that clever and give an error.

To deal with them in Windows Explorer, you could install

Also, I recommend installing this neat explorer extension, which can rename a bulk of files (changing extension for instance from png to webp or back) without this annoying question if you really really truely want to do this:

yeah, i tried using xnconvert, and it works very well, thank you very much

There's only one potential trans character in the game, and it's really clear when you have to make that choice whether or not you want them to be.

That's basically already in the game and you can get every trans scene in a female version, too.

If I remember correctly, this has been so for the last couple of updates already (art being finished first). Plus, Dogeek meanwhile quit.

Yeah, art has always been the first to finish, but I was more thinking about the kind of art that's missing. As far as I'm aware, it was always scenes and nsfw-stuff that was left at the very end, but this time it seems like they are still producing art for the actual story content, dialogs, etc. in quite large amounts. But maybe that's just a coincidence.

 

[JonnyPowers]

So, not sure if they've addressed this elsewhere, but have they said what's supposed to be in the game in the long haul - as in, what would 1.0 look like? I mean, there's a ton of content and a ton more planned, but it's (according to the update values) only 20% complete. What would the game look like at 50, 75%?

Well, the numbers don't really mean anthing and the final version likely won't be 1.0. but something like 0.40.

There's actually a roadmap for patreons. This is what it looks like, though this isn't the most recent version, but apart from Jenny and Eve now being both 20/20 nothing really changed:



According to the most recent roadmap the game is ~50% done right now. Having said that, there are still some reworks etc. to be done and DC may add more content in between or at the very end.

Edit: As to what the game will look like at 60, 70 or 80%? That'll mainly depend on a) which options DC enables in future polls for his patreons and b) which of those options actually gets first place in these polls.
