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

[icherwin]

The bigger issue isnt that the tech update is taking a while, its basically a rebuild. The issue is this:

2/28/24 Progress for Tech Update - Total Tasks: 660 Completed: 80.61% InProgress: 4.55% Remaining: 14.84%
10/7/23 Progress for Tech Update - Total Tasks: 554 Completed: 82.67% InProgress: 2.71% Remaining: 14.62%
5/20/23 Progress for Tech Update - Total Tasks: 553 Completed: 81.56% InProgress: 2.71% Remaining: 15.73%
2/15/23 Progress for Tech Update - Total Tasks: 553 Completed: 80.29% InProgress: 3.44% Remaining: 16.27%
11/2022 Progress for Tech Update - Total Tasks: 546 Completed: 79.49% InProgress: 3.66% Remaining: 16.85%

Over a year and they are really no closer because of feature creep. This is the kind of stuff that gets projects cancelled or stall into oblivion. Also, to me oddly convenient how it's always just a little bit away.

As soon it goes up to 82%, it will go down to 80% again.

Anyone know what the money is called in saves, to cheat with a save editor?

You don't need a save editor.
Start new game with cheats enabled.
If you have a game already saved (or starting at "new content"), make sure to back up your save and then use the WIFI symbol in the game's phone to edit.

See video below. If it is your first time using the WIFI symbol, you will have an extra prompt asking for you to respond "I UNDERSTAND" when warned about messing with anything in that interface.

Using that data, I expect the update to be done around November 2029 (not accounting for any "setbacks"), or December 2043 (if setbacks are considered). During that time, DC would earn $4 million or $14.2 million respectively.

he does makes a public patreon post every monday

He has a patreon? Well, damn, I only follow a 3rd party telegram channel that supposedly relays news from him, and that channel doesn't mention any patreon whatsoever. It's not like I'm his big fan, so I literally didn't know he was so vocal online. Now I feel stupid and I have a lot of reading to do, there's a lot of posts on his patreon it seems.

Unfortunately, it seems like so.

Thanks for the information, was thinking more so one could start at the latest content, then simply just add any amount of money, so no slog through the game

Yup, then the WIFI symbol in game is the way to go. Click the Add $1000 button a few times and you're good to go.

Happy to help.

do you get points for making the same statement over and over and over,congrats on having my last post removed.this game was great in 2021 it had everything.seems dev has gone backwards,3 small updates in 2022-relevant to this thread,then where are we.seems to be operatating to f95 rules-post on media,updates 18 months apart and it seems a mouth piece.mods by all means delete this but know this you are being played.we members should be able to call out devs who dont perform,forget the fact over 28000 patrons.you say off topic-what topic is it.perhaps its time for a rule change.

Didn't you know how DC spends all his Patreon earnings?

• Paying pirate forum white hats (40%)
  • Additional bonus for each posting repeating the same statement (varying)
• Preventing additional artists from job applications (20%)
• Finding reasons to fire developers that work too fast (20%)
• Marking pirate forum posts for deletion (10%)
• Generous revards for finding new tasks delaying tech update completion (10%)
• Baking cookies for himself and his family (5%)
  • No cookies for team members (1% for finding excuses)
• Finding additional income to cover the missing 6% (-6%)

Who broke the NDA and told you?

Hey, no kink shaming!

the abandoned tag isn't for making DC lose money or pressuring him to work faster, it's simply for informing people who come to this thread that the game hasn't gotten any updates in a ridiculous long time

as a good side effect, it also shows how far the game has fallen, summertime saga never had the greatest art or the most amazing story (at least in my opinion) but back when summertime saga started one of the greatest things about it was the transparency of the game development and the reliability of DC to release updates on a frequent basis. that has completly gone obviously.

Man it's funny that WaL got the abandoned tag faster than StS. Hope that changes soon for any of them

Hahahaha bro this shit literally blew my mind. 2030 if anything goes well! I'm not sure if the fans should cry or laugh at this point

Hahaha sorry Morado, forgive my ignorance for the last unread pages.

Oh shit, I had no idea WaL was abandoned. I played it over 2 years ago and liked it a lot, but decided to let the updates build up before playing again. That's actually sad news.

It's not really abandoned, though. It's just as slow as SS, and we'll almost certainly get the next WaL! update before DC realeases something new for SS.

Game quality is still high for western game standards but yep pace is trash now. The only other person I recall really putting in work in hand drawn 2D western games using Renpy in particular was Akabur. Thinking about it, funny how thats almost a decade ago that he completed his two Trainer games Witch Trainer and Princess Trainer. Everyone was copying him.

I miss that guy, sucks that Akabur only has one casual project nowadays

Ha! I just replayed Witch Trainer a couple months ago.

 

[mattius77]

Well, technically he's still making Princess Trainer 2, but the last news from him was in August of last year

Rule 34 encompasses a large universe of potential subjects for Akabur 'Trainer' games.

It's called being a slut
