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

[Ranma]

For those who care, DC started to rework the map two streams ago and he'll continue this week.

Just in case somebody has a really good idea and wants to see it in the game, there's probably never been a better time to suggest something.

Hmm OK, so I though a lot about this, and these are the buildings/structures/places that I would imagine could be present in a small town like this but are still missing from the map in the game:

- City Hall (Summerville has a Mayor, and yet, no City Hall in sight)
- Courthouse
- Fire Station
- Gas Station
- Post Office (where does all this mail we keep getting coming from?)
- Museum
- Restaurant (has part-time job potential for the MC)
- Diner (has part-time job potential for the MC)
- Bar (has part-time job potential for the MC)
- Nightclub (the Bar could also be part of the Nightclub, for example)
- Theme/Amusement Park (could be a water park or any other type; interchangeable with the Fair and the Circus)
- Fair (could be a Funfair/Carnival, or even a County Fair or some other type; interchangeable with the Theme Park and the Circus)
- Circus (interchangeable with the Theme Park and the Fair)
- Amusement Arcade/Bowling Center (I saw a mention to this in one of the comments and I also agree that it would be a great place for future dating scenes along with my other suggestions for places of leisure)
- Casino (did someone say surprise mechanics? xD)
- Brothel/Strip Club (high amounts of potential for more lewd content)
- Resort (like a bathhouse, this one could be a steamy one full of lewd scenes as well, for example a spa resort near some hot springs with everything from baths to saunas to massages)
- Boathouse (well, Summerville is a seaside town so I don't see why not? only problem would be the lack of space around the water on the map at the moment)
- Marina/Shipyard (again, seaside town and all that, there's that Yatch just standing there in front of the beach, but no place where to dock it. but yeah, I know, not enough space around the water on the map at the moment)
- Supermarket/Grocery Store/Convenience Store (I was thinking that maybe Summerville would have a smaller counterpart to it's big Shopping Mall in town, another place for commerce just a bit more modest, also has part-time job potential for the MC)
- Camping Park
- Playground
- Office Building (a small one where some of the residents of Summerville could go to work)
- Retirement/Nursing Home (remember to care for your elders as well, people)
- Funeral Parlor (oof, I know, this all went dark real fast)
- Motel
- Bus Station (somewhere at the edge of the map; interchangeable with the Railroad Station)
- Railroad Station (somewhere at the edge of the map; interchangeable with the Bus Station)
- Water Tower (think like the Warner Bros. water tower but instead it could feature the game's logo on it or something relevant like that)

These are simply suggestions, of course, I know some of these can be implemented inside the already existing Shopping Mall as well, still they would create more jobs for existing (and maybe future) characters that still apparently have no place of work.
A bunch of these I feel would be really nice for the future in terms of places to go when the dating mechanics start to be implemented into the game.
And yet, at the same time, I'm pretty sure some of the others would probably be of no use for what DC is planning for Summertime Saga.

Furniture Store for your room and when you move into your own home

Nobody mentionning the 2nd trailer ...... And the lol-worthy super clean cut on the sides where the 4:3 screen ended

I thought about briniging up the fact that the new trailer lies directly in shooting range...

Last edit: And I think you are right about the area around the hospital, though it'll probably look better once he removes those 3 small houses and replaces them with one building, as all of these 9 very small houses are supposed to be replaced with normal ones.

That still leaves the lovely beach party right at the emergency entry of the hospital. C'mon, really?

Por qué no consigue trabajadores ?
Why don't you get workers?

Yeah, it's a compromise, but I haven't heard any complaints about it until now.

I don't know much DC is willing to change the legacy part of the map, so we'll see.

 

[Avengedgamer1998]

Considering the current popularity of Summertime Saga I think that DC should hire more people so that we could get updates like every 4 months. I personally feel that it would attract more patrons if the game had regular updates in a fixed time frame.

P.S. Also I am already a patron so don't start with the "you don't get to complain since you don't pay."

They've been in the same situation for the last 1-2 years without changes. It seems that DC has decided he's just going with the set up he's comfortable with.

 

[MurkyTurtle]

At the very least he needs to hire another poser. I can respect DC not wanting to become an Art Director and having to constantly monitor the work of several artists, but there's absolutely no excuse for Posing being the bottleneck on the last several updates. I know they've said the tech update will improve their workflow, but that's what they said when they moved to the rig system and the new codebase

 

[Omnikuken]

Future workflow will be mostly coding-side improvements. And the rig system is so DC doesn't have to redraw every girl 20x for each different pose

 

[srksrk 68]

And the rig system is so DC doesn't have to redraw every girl 20x for each different pose

Not only that. It also significantly reduces game size. And it makes may things easier also from a coding and posing perspective (e.g. you can do the same thing with different clothing/pregnancy stages etc.).

 

[srksrk 68]

I know they've said the tech update will improve their workflow, but that's what they said when they moved to the rig system and the new codebase

And what makes you think that's not the case?

And that is the reason why you should use Google translate to put your questions. I see you asking the same things over and over again and nobody answering you.

Wish I could see a Courtroom close to Police Station

And what makes you think that's not the case?

"Improvements to our workflow" is clearly coded as "faster and more frequent releases" when it's communicated in your status updates. There's no reason to tell us about internal streamlining unless they're trying to placate a fan-base who's wondering why a 2-part update that was supposed to take 8-10 months has now stretched out to a 3-part update that's taken 14 months and counting. So yes, they may be more efficient than they were a few years ago, but we're going to wonder where all those time-savings have gone when we see progress bars are

Unless I missed something or my Engrish has worsened, but : everything listed in the tech update isn't in-game yet. Their improvement(s) is what we got now. Anything else will come in ~6 months with the tech build

 

[lalapopoland]

Any roxxy pregnancy soon ?

 

[Omnikuken]

Only "soon" you'll get is in 4+ years with her remake that she also needs to win a poll to get ...... Would be good too if people could actually read stuff and stop asking the same thing every week, especially when said stuff is years down the road
