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

[j4yj4m]

was this character cut or something? i couldn't find her

She's actually a somewhat popular social media/gaming personallity (pureruby87) and in basic terms DC probably removed her to avoid troubles and to be able to add scenes for her replacement (Lily) in the future, too.

Man, that pseudo-split was the one thing I disliked about Jenny's update. Those choices only affect the dialogue in the scenes directly after you choose, but they don't affect anything beyond that. If they did what you suggested and changed up the scenes a bit to incorporate some sub/dom stuff, that would've made that update a lot better IMO. I know DC's tastes are super vanilla, but if you're gonna bring up that kind of dynamic during game choices, it should actually impact the game beyond a few lines of text.

and its not like it was super complicated, Jenny route whole dilemma was her being unable and unwilling to find a job for herself

Submissive choices should've led to the camshows while the dominant choices should've ended in Jenny taking a job in whatever because of MC influence

My point was that Patreon's rules are a joke. They are applied very arbitrarily but on average they are increasingly insane.

Ban-abuse works, usually in silence, because the ones being abused don't usually have any way to respond.
The only blowback that can happen is once in a blue moon a PR issue is created by some side-effect. Then the company swears they didn't mean it, it was a mistake and they try again later.

If Patreon bans SS now it WILL produce a huge PR issue. DC can claim his old content was fine for 3 years under the old rules. What changed? He can victimize himself. His paypigs will side with DC. Sparks will fly. It's not the right moment.

The right moment is when a new release comes in, especially one that offers such a wide attackable area like a fully reworked game.

However, at the bottom of everything there's always MONEY vs. risk. As long as there's enough of the former and little of the latter, Patreon will arbitrarily turn a blind eye to SS breaking the rules.
When SS will slip, either financially or by stirring the paypigs into a report frenzy, the ban hammer will come. DC's accumulated money play no role in this. He won't reveal his real identity by taking Patreon to court.

god i cant wait for the milking scheme to explode in DC's face, it will be the breeding farm scandal all over again, (that is if someone close to DC actually tattles what he's been doing with the money all these 3 years)

Last news ?

Last news ?

Not looking good. Middle East is on fire. Everybody is mad and SS is light years away from getting an update. Back to you.

1. What Patreons lost? DC's been over 30k paid subscribers the past three months, not too far from his maximum counts 2-3 years ago.

DC is a greedy goblin who only cares about money

dark magic got hit with abandoned tag faster than this

So that's where the money's going

dark magic got hit with abandoned tag faster than this

Because dev of dark magic goes radio silent for very long periods of time. DC gives status updates every month. But you just have to wait for april 30th for this game to get the abandoned tag.

 

[X[]-[]X]

The abandoned tag does nothing, other than inform that a game is abandoned.
'Oh my god, if the game gets the abandoned tag, that means DC is going to get punished.'

 

[CUNTBLAZER420]

The abandoned tag does nothing, other than inform that a game is abandoned.
'Oh my god, if the game gets the abandoned tag, that means DC is going to get punished.'

It doesn't even really inform that the game is abandoned. Its mostly just a site formality and has no real authority behind it. It has nothing to do with the game being actively worked on. Its just simply an arbitrary time limit the site sets. Its a one-size-fits-all rule, but since one size doesn't necessarily fit all, its pretty much meaningless.

 

[Juice86]

The future: We are all 90 year old grandpa's on our death beds.. and still the tech update will be stuck at 81%

 

[kZelar]

The game keeps opening and closing. It won't let me play it all. Does anyone have any answers to this? Like the logo pops and then closes out.

Is just the rules of the site,personally i think is a good rule.
18 months without a update is a obscene amount of time.

Which link did you download from in OP?
What are your system's stats (OS, RAM, Graphics Card most relevant)?
Are your OS and all drivers up to date?
You might have had a problem in downloading, did you download a second time to check?
You are playing the game AFTER unzipping into a folder on your computer, not from within the zip file, correct?
Did you add any mods or patches? If so, delete all that and try to play the game without them.

Hi!

How can I become "Charisma" in this game?

I downloaded the windows one, but i am guessing my laptop is old and need to get a new one. That maybe the case cuz the specs aren't all that great.

Depends upon what you mean about your specs. Until I bought a new computer last year, my desktop from 2013 played this with no problem.

Spoiler: 2013 specs

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

But it does take time to load and run because it is preloading a lot of things before the application starts up. The older the computer and the less robust, the longer it takes. And for some computers, it does just crash, eventually. Did you look at your Task Manager after the splash screen disappears to see if the application is no longer listed - or if it is still just sitting there (either still slowly churning away or stalled)?
