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

[gnub33]

Her story is mostly done but I'm hoping that the dating system fills out the gaps in her personality. Seeing the "conniving bitch" angle give way to something closer to a classic tsundere would bring her up quite a few notches in my eyes. Her diary spends so much time hinting at the notion that it'd be a crime not to see that possibility fulfilled.

Roxxy is probably still best girl for me, though Grace makes a compelling dark horse. Gimme all of that "struggling small business owner just needs love" smoke. DC's got a talent for making lovable characters that you just want to see more of, even though the horrifying development hell we're currently in makes a lot of those desires look like pipe dreams.

Yeah I think DC should always be praised for the characters he created here. I thought this was just some crappy shovelware porn game when I first saw the art. I saw a youtubers I respect praise it so I gave it a shot and binged it for almost a week straight. Literally noon to 5am.

Jenny and Roxy were so much fun to watch. I love it when I hate a character at the start and the author slowly pulls me to their side. None of that stepbro/sis shit on pornhub fucks this hard.
I really wonder what's holding up the pipeline. Itd be pretty evil of he was holding back an already finished build until pay pigs roam along somewhere else. I'd rather not think that way tho.

I still believe one day we will get a continuation. I doubt DC is out of ideas or resources yet. Ill be happy to throw money at my screen when that time comes.

the dev got stuck in a developmental quagmire

Though I expect this will eventually resolve itself, unlike BlueCat's merge quagmire.

 

[DaveHoff]

ye its been stuck on coding and posing tasks in

You must be registered to see the links

for a WHILE. Tbf though those are the hardest tasks to complete in game development but its been a year since Pre-Tech Part 5 so take it for what it is. This game is stuck in coding limbo LMAO. Great game though no doubt about that

 

[epicskyrimmodder91]

Welp, The mod is officially deleting posts critical of the developer.

Welp, The mod is officially deleting posts critical of the developer.

You mentioned other games that this thread is not for - which is off-topic per the rules (2.4) for the site. You also went into tirade of a conspiracy theory - not simply criticism - about the time for the update. Both of which are actually off-topic per the rules for the site (2.7), as well as the thread (#66,232). If you kept it to on-topic, it may have remained.

Now you're complaining about moderator actions in the thread, again off-topic (2.1) for the site. If you have a problem with a moderator, you should open a ticket.

EDIT: I've also had at least one post from this thread deleted by a mod in the past hour. C'est la vie. We learn from our mistakes and move on.

Now back to on-topic, what's your favorite cookie jar scene and which character is completely overrated?

Is there a thread for fan sigs? I made this one today:

There is: both a Fan Art thread and a Post your Signatures thread.

Lol, totally missed this one:Post your Signatures thread

Hi all. I am from the future. It's 2032 now. An update is expected in December. This time 100%

Now back to on-topic, what's your favorite cookie jar scene and which character is completely overrated?

Hmm... Well I don't have one particular scene I really like I mean all of them are great but Maria's scenes are really good, this might change though cause I have not played any version after v20.8. so I have a lot of backlogs (pre-tech updates).
I am gonna say something controversial here and many like her but Eve seems pretty overrated to me, and maybe Odette as well.

What about you? What's your favorite scene, which character is overrated, and which is underrated?

 

[Senigata]

To actually say something about the game as is: Jenny is the most overrated character in this entire game, shitty attempt at making a tsundere with all the bitchiness, but none of the actual dere qualities because she's written through a western lense, which largely just translates to being a huge bitch.

Thanks for coming to my TED-Talk.

 

[Count Morado]

I'm not going to deny - I lean toward Jenny as the most overrated character, just like Senigata thinks. She's not a compelling character, simply a foil and obstacle. She has no goal, as a character, except to be a thorn and to make money through streaming. I get why she can be someone's preferred because of traditional tropes.

I really don't have any cookie jar scene that I get the itch to revisit, I would say for those that choose to follow the Eve transgender route that the scene where she reveals herself is decently done.

As for the most underrated? Missy. Probably due to her inner conflict of being interested in the MC while wanting to remain loyal to her friends early in the story line.

If only they truly reworked and refined that sub-dom route of her. That would be great.

That's indeed what annoys me the most about her story. They added quite a few choices, but they mean close to nothing and I'm not sure, if there are actually any plans to chance that. It's such a waste...

 

[FGM01]

Wait, Jenny was supposed to be a tsundere? Yeah, they kind of forgot the dere parts.

That's what I thought from the start. When we got access to her diary, I thought might be the avenue the story would use to give us a look into her true inner emotions and start evoking some more pleasant feelings. Well, her true inner emotions were shallow and vapid douche lol.

I don't think she's supposed to be what you'd call tsundere. DC basically always said that she's suppose to stay as she is and I'm pretty sure the only way to make her join MC's prom will be to pay her a good sum of money. As such I don't really like her character or her story, but I actually respect that decision.

 

[XCelesX]

Give Roxxie her pregnancy scenes already! Why is she the one you just left out after finishing the story more or less?!

Well to be fair she gets alot of extra stuff most characters can only dream of and her character developed actually over time. Especially seen with the picture of her father.
I guess over time she can be what people are waiting for. I have more faith in them continuing her story than them giving a damn about any other character accept maybe Eve who is fully developed

 

[Count Morado]

Her pregnancy route is not "the one" left out. There are several still in the works. Every eligible person able to become pregnant will have such a route. The main story goal - finding out what happened to the MC's father - is complete. However, the dating sim/date for the big dance story goal is still in the works. The third story goal could be seen as essentially complete, but the story arc hasn't been finalized and still needs development.

Finally, the development team never communicates here. If you want to suggest to them content or ask questions of them - you will need to go to their discord or picarto streams or become a patreon and do so there. No one here has any power or control over Summertime Saga development.
