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

[Omnikuken]

this is just unacceptable. you really want to make me a milkposter out of me? do you?

After the ocean of crybabies we got in here in less than a day, 1 more or less won't change much. And you don't have to stoop so low as to become a milker just cause your waifu gets shafted every update by more popular girls. You don't see me coming in here daily to moan my girl Jenny is hated by the entire thread and she got 1 scene in about a year.

 

[Bob69]

your waifu gets shafted every update by more popular girls.

UHM I think the problem RootingForRoz has is that the waifu ISN'T getting shafted by anyone

 

[Bulldozer47]

Odette was made for a dude who won a lottery during a stream, maybe DC is contractually manhandled to output more scenes for her. No1 likes Missy enough and Grace got her scene in the last batch

Yes, donations of less than 3$ per month sure is the biggest milkage ever seen

6 scenes nobody likes is still content. Story won't happen this year. About a year of pre-techs.

Woah seriously? We won't get any progress for this year huh?
I don't know what tech update means but is it really that big of a issue to stop story for that long?

 

[McSlut]

why am i not surprised by jenny being your favourite girl omnikuken lol

 

[kameohawk]

More than 100k/month and this is considered an update? Seriously the developer should ashamed and I don't feel sorry for the Patreons they must have money to waste.

It's the contractor mantra. If you can't fix the problem, there's good money to be made in prolonging it.

100k a month come rain or shine. No need to pony up any content because you know you've got a core of followers that'll light the sweat off your bike seat regardless. Not to mention the team know they can take a hit in numbers that would cripple most games because they're so large.

 

[Tkoyama]

And devs for "IT" receive almost 80 thousand a month? Fuck!!! What is wrong with this world? The words of George Carlin immediately come to mind: some people are fucking stupid!!!
I look forward to the appearance of some participants who will begin to justify the developers.
Well, or someone will immediately complain to the moderator that I offend his cuckold feelings.

Hakuna matata, dude.

 

[AleXiC94]

Jesus this game is dragging out

 

[Majordeathwish]

Wow, this update is... kinda lackluster not gonna lie. I don't watch the streams so maybe shit is getting done, but personally, I wouldn't have put out an update at all with as little content as this. Oh well, at least the game is still being worked on.

 

[MBD2212]

I dont get it? Do i have to start a new game to get the new scenes? Just downloaded the new version and jenny wont do anything with me anymore? What am i missing?

 

[j4yj4m]

i will say this though, the fact that odette has once again double the scenes that grace has is a great injustice just like missy and becca

Grace simply suffers from the fact that Eve's story doesn't have a choice and every sex scene for her seems to make her feel even more guilty towards Eve, while Missy doesn't have a home right now and will likely get "her" content once that's done.

As said before, objectively the scenes we got this update do make quite a bit of sense.
In Odette's case it was a popular demand that a girl with her lips and boobs shouldn't go without a blow/boobjob, so they added it, the scenes with Veronica/Ivy and Terry/Sara were obvious choices, too, which could be added without any real significant additional work.

What makes this update feel so bad is more or less the fact, that really all of these new scenes are scenes where you'd think "yes, it was logical to add/insert that sooner or later" but where nobody is actually really hyped that it finally happened.

I can think of a number of animations off the top of my head that would have worked better and been better received:
- Upgrading Debbie's shower scene (or really any of her scenes)
- Turning sex with Diane on the couch into a full scene
- Adding home pool scenes to any of the girls
- Having Roxxy spend the night in your room
- Giving Melonia a hot tub scene
- A Missy solo scene of any kind to match what we got with Becca (maybe school shower?)
- Scenes with the girls from the factory who want to show their gratitude for you freeing them from the mob

At least the scenes for the mob girls will 100% be part of the next pre-tech update, including (most of) their pregnancies.

Else I'd fully agree that they should have added at last 1 to 3 real highlights. I personally simply would like to have a scene for let's say Mia on her bed, given that she didn't get anything new for many years.

Edit: Please no more Melonia though, I was already annoyed that they added another scene for Iwanka until I found out what it actually was

What the actual fuck are you talking about? This game is pulling in $78,366 per month on patreon alone. If you have to say random nonsense to defend something, perhaps you're not in the right...

i don't know what that says about me but i think that just makes it more hot. corruption is my favourite thing in porn games i guess.

i think it's that dc has the bigger picture in mind when it comes to STS. the tech update and these new scenes from batch 3 are going to get really appreciated by new players once the game is complete because they are seamlessly integrated into the story but for people who play every new update they are completly underwhelming. i just wonder if DC is having a misconception about his playerbase. maybe there won't be that many new people playing the game once it's done and STS is at this point basically what the AAA game industry calls a GAAS game where every update is pretty much the "next game".

Try doing the simple math. It's simple. Really.

 

[KnuckleDragger79]

youre comparing people creating a virtual world to people making an image slideshow.

Fine. You have 2 months to write, code, render and animate a full game and post it here on F95. Go.

 

[Jun Jinseong]

Someone with the last version 100% save pls.

What each individual person might be paying has zero meaning. Like I said, random nonsense.

That's fine, I just don't think it's where they see that story going.

I don't really think DC cares about these things that much. He wants the game to be as good as he thinks it can be and he'll work towards that, while it doesn't really seem to matter thaaat much what people think. As I've said a quite some time ago, this whole tech update thing is annoying now, but in the future everybody will probably be happy that it happened. I just hope it won't damage the game's reputation too much, so that SS doesn't run out of steam eariler than necessary.

It does say something about how invested people are and inclined they are to complain. It's a difference whether you spend ~36 bucks or less a year on something that's actually free, or whether that number is at 120/240 or even higher and you've actually bought stuff.

 

[nilo_96]

Perhaps I'll just leave this picture here, whoever needs will understand.



In general, it becomes a little sad if you think about the future of mankind. Every day it seems that the predicted future in the movie "Idiocracy" is getting closer and closer. This is me not only about this game, but in general in a global sense, just look at the latest news about what is happening in the world.

It has some relevant meaning now that I actually take 60 seconds to think about it. More people paying less is better. It means thousands of people have to decide to stop supporting to hurt the bottom line. It's more sustainable. If 8 people were paying 10 grand and 2 decide to stop, that's a big deal. Kind of a similar concept to a diversified portfolio.

So a lot of smaller donations would actually make "milkage" easier. The complete opposite of the point this person was trying to make with this weird metric. Well done.

You are all bitching about how much he makes, you are all bitching about wanting the story to progress but none of you all are asking the real question - when can i finally bang Lily the cosplayer? lol

Anyway said i would not return till the tech stuff was done and i meant it. The wait continues but i'll live and in the meantime i know there will be even more scenes to check out when that finally happens. Ive personally no issue with sneaking in even more scenes which honestly most would argue should have been in the game in the first place (and it gives some minor characters some overdue love as lets be real here - the backers decide who gets content the fuck with the rest of us think - DC giving minor unpopular characters, in some of the cases so far at least some scenes despite this should be applauded IMO).
