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

[TaurusBR]

Was the tech update mandatory or was it voted for? Because if it was voted for, it's not DC fault it's taking so long. If it was mandatory, then this means it was planned. So why the fuck is it taking so long to re code a renpy game with a hired programmer/s? In 3 years all 16:9 BGs should be done by now.

From what I remember it was a vote, however, what bothers me is that DC is not clear in its responses and does not maintain an open line of dialogue with the community, if not those who only financially support the game. And just like that, as soon as the result was revealed, he himself said it would take 3/4 months and it's been almost 3 years. Recently, he said that he would redo the entire game (and some things have already been completed). But development is very slow, and no matter how much you try to understand, it doesn't help either. During these almost 3 years, no significant progress has been made, other than the time spent on character wallpapers and backgrounds (in live broadcasts on picarto.tv), which are still planned to come after the tech update, sometimes almost every week, sometimes no one knows when and nothing more.

While we wait just a reminder of the update order after the tech update is finished. This is likely not the only girls we'll see in each update, just the ones that we know are linked to the main girls.

Seven girls with each taking at least a year each puts us into next decade... judging from current pacing fans could see Judith in the late 2030's.

DC is creating a cross generational game here. People will have had time to get married, have kids, possibly grand kids and live long enough for them all to get old enough to beat off to the same game they did.

Vote. But the choice was Tech update now or after Rhonda, it was going to happen one way or the other. The tech update was originally going to happen back in 2019 at the insistence of the previous coder Dogeek but it was soundly rejected by backers so like any good dev DC ignored the warnings about the glaring problems with the frankensteined code even as dev time increased as every time they added something it caused the game to vomit its guts everywhere forcing them to spend more time fixing it then updating it so they reached a point after the Main story where it had to happen if they didn't want every update to take upwards of 9 months because turns out ignoring tech debt for five years while going through over a half dozen poorly skilled coders in the first three was a very bad idea.

DarkCookie and Akabur should do a TED Talk about how to become a millionaire by doing the least amount of actual work possible. It would be a fascinating seminar.

Dr Bones, Icstor, Beggar Of Net, GumDrop should be the main part of the seminar

Wrong. The Lifeguard lady is part of Ronda's update, the principal and Annie's mom are part of Annie's update, and obviously Judith's mom is part of hers. Funny that you would think each girl would get its own update there.

It is amazing how this game didn't change while my life did. I finished my apprenticeship, married my gf, our son was born, soon he will do his first steps and the tech update will probably be on 86% at that point. It's like growing up with a good friend you always check on to see if he finally did the thing he promised to do years ago.

Same. I played this game in college, now married for 5 years and the game is still in working. Been checking this thread since then.

Other than a couple new backgrounds the tech update is all behind the scenes in the code. So when it finally drops and it appears there's no new content, the coping in this thread is going to reach astronomical levels.

The underlying issue is that the "game" is merely a vehicle for people to jack off to gifs. This isn't a program that anyone is particularly invested in working well when, at the end of the day, they just want more incredibly basic content (dialogue scenes) that leads to incredibly basic content (basic few-frame sex gifs). So yeah lol, people are going to absolutely lose their shit when the supposed tech update drops.

The irony is that DarkCookie could just thumb through old issues of Penthouse Forum and just adapt those into scenes every month while changing the "I never believed it would happen to me" guy into the MC and probably keep the fanbase incredibly happy. I guess the Oedipal boulder pushing of the tech update brings in more money though lol.

Newest?

yes. you just need to put it in the game folder. If you are using a Mac, right click on "show package contents". Then navigate to "resources" them keep clicking until you see game. open it. Make Sure you don't move a short cut. You need to either move the actual file, or copy and paste it. More or less the same as windows. P.S. Ignore the haters. Let them suffer without you. I wish the admin or mods would put an option to put an "Abandoned Tag" on someone's profile that won't stop complaining for something they get for free. Like how on mine it says "Member", replace it with "Abandoned"; even though it is not.
