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

[totor83]

In contrast with the very first minimap (0.01), things have changed a lot! Most locations were not even accessible .^-^

'GIVE ME MONEY ... give me money ...'

"j4yj4m" you are so funny .....

Don't foget to say think to COVID (smile)

I'm not too clear on what 'Posing' actually is, but will Catbug's departure effect how the game will look at all?

No, posing simply means to arrange the art assets DC creates, mostly the gestures, movements, etc. of the characters you see, so they match the dialog.

I really hope they do not turn the layerd image system into something completely different.

 

[Omnikuken]

Unless those new poser dudes manage to 360 noscope everything DC and coder did in the last year+, there won't be any changes. They basically just change whose name is in the credits, not how they implement stuff in-game (hopefully).

A thumbs up to the Bender avatar who managed to triple shit-post within 5 mins, grats to you

yea making fan art would become way more complex too

 

[Marphey]

LOL this is my favorite honestly, everyone goes NLT NLT!!! treasures of nadia!!! yet it's those god awful 3d models that look like clay/dolls

Their 3D models are good i don't know on what you are about. There are way worse 3d modeled games on this site and most of them are copying from each other.

 

[Arthur Curry]

You mean it’s consistently mediocre. Being able release every two weeks doesn’t change the fact it’s story is boring.

yea but I mean how many people really download a porn game for the story - sure its an important part - but he gives 3 new sex scenes - each scene involving like 4+ animations so people really just blaze through the story to get the sex

or they just use full saves like me once every two or so months lol

I personally have never played ToN - I just load full saves and see the good shit so Idk anything about the story

 

[caspian90]

Well he considers it mediocre yet can't discuss that the argument is only about consistent updates.
I never said DC is work is bad or mediocre (I became a Patron cause I enjoy the game). And I also feel bad knowing that he has kids to feed and makes sense that he can't do everything (streaming, coding etc) simultaneously at any given time.

But all I ask is from him to make the updates more consistent.


Now here's the scenario:
If after the widescreen update the next 3 updates are let's say come within 4 months consistently (total 12 months) I will go back to become one of his Patrons again cause I know that every major quality improvement updates are already done by that point and it's just new/ rework around characters.

I just wanted to know if anyone here is on of his Patrons or simply don't care.
Because I as a fan do care about both Summertime Saga and Treasure of Nadia.

And yes I am a consistent Patron of NLT since 2019.

there are way worse but 3d models in general comparatively to 2d art is awful imo, it looks like dolls/clay as I said, you're free to enjoy whatever you want there's clearly a market for it but comparing the two.... LOOOOL

 

[j4yj4m]

I mean, I don't know why we'd be talking about ToN, but NLT does really a good job. The quality is way above average and the game is very, very focussed on the release schedule and on the scenes. He certainly does take shortcuts when it comes to gaming elements/logic and certain characters at some points, but for a porn game that's totally fine. Everything is pretty simple, yet it works really well. Both games cater to different audiences and that's ok.

@caspian90: When it comes to a fixed release schedule, it's just something you won't get with SS. It never was consistent and it probably never will be. If that's what someone is looking for, SS is just not a game to support, I'd guess.

I was a patron for quite some time and I may pledge again, once the schoolgirl updates turn out to be good. I mainly stopped, because I don't really like this how main story stuff got bigger and bigger and I think DC really has more than enough money at the moment, so my pledge certainly won't matter at all anyway.

You came to this thread with express purpose of complaining. Do you feel any better?

You came to this thread with the sole purpose of bitching about other people expressing themselves... do YOU feel any better?

god daaamn. i leave this thread for 2 days and come to see a war about updates and how much does DC get every month XD come on guys can we stop talking about that already? this thread is getting boring sometimes because of that shit

We’ll stop talking about it when something changes. This thread gets so annoying when white knights like you only care to bitch at other people for calling a shitty developer out.

Lock this thread already. Tired of getting notifications and seeing it’s just people bitching about the same old shit.

Then quit coming back. Nobody is forcing you to be here.

Lol, 3 major updates in a year. Maybe back in 2017 you might have wetdreamed about it and it might have happened. No way in hell will we get 3 new girls' full builds from nothing to pregsex within 4 months of each other. Only feasible way would be to cheapshot a lot of stuff and have hugely lackluster updates (like 2 scenes per girl and nothing really new)

You can come here and bitch at DC, we can come here and bitch at you. Free speech goes both ways. Also, outside of moaning and looking like a kid throwing a tantrum, nothing you do in here will change anything game-wise. You want something to change/make DC realize his life as a dev is a huge failure ? Haul your face to Patreon/Discord and let loose at him there. You might get your point accross, or get banned within 2 mins.

Well actually you cant, moderators here are pretty big on shutting down free speech. If you arent on topic you are probably gonna get your posts deleted and receive and infraction point lol, saying this from experience in my short time here.

 

[srksrk 68]

The point is, there is no point. Everybody can bitch around and get posts deleted or even banned, or not, but nothing here will influence DC or game development in any way.

Having said that, you can regard my post as pointless as well.

 

[orrayt3x]

Expect that in the dating/prom update, whenever that happens.



Are you sure? Because the roomer mill had Catbug leaving at the first of the year.

Basing an argument on a rumor, nice. Also 1st week of January - 2nd week of feb is not "2 months".

Summertime Saga is the only game I've ever given my money to. I was a patron from April 2017 to February 2020. I have absolutely zero regrets giving my money to the team. I find DC and the team to be very likeable. DC has always been good about answering my questions when I had them and connecting with a creator is pretty cool (which he didn't have to do. what did my $10 really matter by the end?). Sploosh stays connected to the theory channel on discord as well.

I knew I had to donate to this game the moment I played it and MC found Debbie (his Mom at the time) in her room masturbating. The scene and dialogue was super hot. I feel like DC wrote the character of Debbie just for me (even though I know he didn't). I love everything about her as a character. I'm a person that enjoys the look of real breasts and DC draws them (mostly) with sag to them as big real breasts have. I very rarely get to catch a stream, but just by chance I was home sick from work one day and he was updating her art during the stream and a band of us convinced him to make Debbie more thicc and he went for it. Love love love her new artwork.

I stopped giving my money for a couple reasons. The first was I found the Eve update to be very disappointing. I find Eve's personality to be annoying and there is no choice other than her in that update (which I guess makes sense since it's HER update). I got choices in the Erik and Mia update, however. I could have totally gone for hooking Eve up with Odette and keeping Grace for me. I REALLY like Grace. I think I'm more attracted to that responsible woman like Debbie or Grace. It was the first update that I found myself disappointed in. The artwork was fantastic and the character writing was superb, but Eve just isn't for me at all and that's okay. Not all of the girls are going to be FOR me and I was cool with that.

In the next vote, DC decided to remove the chance to vote for Debbie. He wanted to knock out all the school girls, which had logic to it. I had actually planned to up my donation, so that I could throw more votes to Debbie (even though I knew she would probably lose). There was a big backlash against updating old characters. It sucked for me, because Jenny and Diane both got their reworks, but Debbie was left hanging. That event caused me to re-analyze where I stood with the game. I played every update and enjoyed all of them minus Eve. There are women in the game I think are really hot (Lily, Lucy, Melonia, Grace, Helen, Mia, Diane, Roxxy), but I truly play this game for Debbie. It's the only story I play every time. So I realized that Debbie probably wouldn't get an update for ANOTHER 3 years at least. Did I really want to donate to this project for 5+ years before I got the update that I was looking for? I totally get that there are some of you out there that have been donating the whole time hoping to get Judith and are still left empty handed. I feel for you. I just realized that waiting that long for the update I wanted wasn't worth it, so I went to being free player and that's worked for me.

Just like you Caspian, I really care about this project. To me, it's the best game in it's genre. I love the artwork and the story. I think DC is a cool dude and his team is fun to hang out with. I did donate for the month of February 2021, so I could throw votes at Debbie for the tech update. I'll probably go right back to being a free player next month. I *may* go back to donating when Debbie gets on the list for an update. I know the guys are real receptive to thoughts and ideas and I might be able to add some suggestions when that time comes. I haven't really decided on that part yet.
