Well lads, this is certainly top entertainment, I never thought DC would be gutsy enough to release this. I used to support him like 5 years ago, but stopped, once I realized the guy is an asshole. And if you're having a blast in here you should check discord. The devs are going nuts telling people off left and right and saying "why are you complaining about some free shit" people just respond saying the game is getting paid for by people backing it and that that fact alone doesn't warrant this shite. Fucking hell, this is like watching the bloody Hindenburg or the Titanic. You know this isn't going to end well. I reckon DC has enough brain-dead followers to keep some money going, but if you have two functioning brain cells, backing this shitshow is beyond question.

I remember when this game first came out: I cannot fucking believe it still isn't finished, and I can't fucking believe people are still paying this guy. Stardew Valley was made by one fucking guy over the course of 4 1/2 years for free, built from the ground up, and this motherfucker can't finish a Ren'Py game in over the same amount of time for MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Ya'll are legit stupid if you pay this guy. The fuck do you even have interest in this stale ass game anymore? It's garbage compared to some other games out on the market right now because IT'S OLD AS FUCK FOR A PORN GAME.

I'm personally very amused by the idea that it has dated topical Trump vs Hillary jokes in it, and the tech update has now been lost in the abyss for so long that Trump will be in office again by the time you can play that content in it :ROFLMAO:

I'm an average coder. Average at best. If two years ago he hired me to port his game from renpy to a bespoke, in-house engine I'd have had it finished in full no more than 6 months later...and that's stretching it and doing full debugging.

i've been saying this for years. they have a literal working model for reference, all they had to do was optimize and refactor the code.

Right! This shit dropped during the time of the 2016 election, lmao. If this is ever finished the new generation that finds it will be playing a time capsule filled with references equal to a current 24yo hearing 80s memes and references.

Problem is...This is exactly what people want. They like being treated like idiots otherwise
they wouldn't be paying $60,000 per month for nothing...or close to nothing. It's just insanity.

Not a defender, never paid for it, but you got to admit the point you make with Ren'Py is flawed. Of course a Ren'Py game which is just DAZ renders back to back can be done fast and easy. But any game using a 2D puppet system always take ages to make. Same for Witch Trainer Silver or Innocent Witches, that people are less angry about because they make less money. Which helps to make a real point for what to be angry about with SummertimeSaga : With all that money they could have hired a competent project manager and various helpers long ago and they didn't.

He could have learned Game Maker in a few months and gotten a stupid rigged 2D puppet game. Or Unreal, or unity, or any number of games that would easily support a basic point and click adventure game.

Again, there is nothing complicated from a design perspective when it comes to this game. Making a timed click puzzle is one of the simplest things you can make. His entire game design is playing dialouge and a few choices that determine which image files and text Renpy recalls.

Everybody gives him the benefit of the doubt when he spent two years reinventing the wheel.

Let me see if I understand, it's the same game but now with less content after almost 2 years of "work" and the saves are not compatible, wow, so Abandoned Saga really ended in version 20.16
