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

[Pootpootispencer]

The old version has more than enough content (aside from an official ending)

Just be happy with that and ignore this for 5 years.

One thing I don't understand though is the amount of vitriol over how much money he makes. Unless you're somehow still giving him money on patreon it always comes off as bitterness because he lucked out and got rich.

I think people keep bringing up the money he's making because they're pissed he's getting away with it.

And honestly, i'm also starting to wonder how this actually works. I've seen so many crowdfunded games going radio silent once they reach a sizeable patreon income and the backers just keep on giving the devs money despite the absolute lack of development for years. And it's certainly not limited to porn games (cough yandere simulator cough)

Is it some kind of sunken cost fallacy? Do people actually forget they have a monthly patreon payment? What is it?

I wonder if anyone ever compiled a full list of devs that started off with very promising projects and then managed to get the entire community turned against them. Long stretches between content updates is nothing new. There are devs out there like Tinkerer who only update maybe 3-4 times a year but for the most part people still like them.

This isn't me defending DC. 2 years and this is what he comes out with is just wild LOL. I'm just spitballing, why do some devs get a pass for long times between updates and others don't? Is it communication about what they're working on, the size of the updates, the perceived quality of the work, or maybe how difficult the content is to make?

Sad Crab (innocent witches) comes to mind. theres about a billion others but innocent witches is the only one i really care about because the project looked AMAZING at the beginning but the dev has made barely any sex scenes so far and they're years into the project.

The moms is not complete bro. And her art is 8 years old.

he did say "some". i think he meant "5%"

 

[HentKingdom]

Guys we made it to 4000 thread pages. Its amazing what a community can do when they come together.

 

[RheaRhe]

dont know if the revamp is changing the whole story (but i dont think so). but at the moment id say less than 10% of the old game is currently in this latest build

I've been playing this game from almost the very beginning and he's been saying back then (with everyone's suggestions) he was going to do this very same thing ,he's doing now ......... I just don't know why all the fuss when he is sticking to his words

" ah shit, here we go again ".

 

[josh963]

See you guys in 2040! Perhaps, on that time we will have full Debbie's content with her new art! That, if SS doesn't get abandoned for good, which i doubt it because of a lot of morons that still give a lot of money for pratically nothing in return

 

[Solovinomit]

I dont know what was I expecting, but this is a disappointment of epical proportions... I think the first version of the game had more content, and for the art and scenarios... two years to present us with the same art everywhere, I mean there are SOME variations, but its like "hey do you remember the wall in your room? I put a sticker on it and it only took two years, neat huh?"
Maybe I will be back in two years to see if there is some improvement

Many people simply forget they are paying for the game. Sunk cost fallacy probably applies to some people too. Add to the mix that gamers are compulsive buyers and when it comes to lewd gamers, just tick the box for one or two of their fetishes and they are sold. Game could be mid as hell, but OMG It has this one fetish I like = best game ever. If you ever wonder who these people are, read some reviews on a few games and you will spot them easily.

 

[UnBuscador]

It's a terrible downgrade... it was a good game. At least they gave us enough before the "tech upgrade".

 

[Dragon1982]

Just from today i noticed the thread's comments pages went up by over 500 due to the current update, and it's leans more towards haters dwarfing the defenders. This really is some Grade-A entertainment in the drama department, even if it's not my thing.

How much DC pay you bro I want in on the dough

 

[BigTyson]

I was here for page 4000, and I will be here for 4000 more

 

[Draconis2627]

The game feel empty xd

 

[Adoringfan]

I hope it's not around for that long. Some devs need to learn when to wrap it up and move on to a new project.

 

[DötDöt5000]

Some Hero with a Save pls ?

 

[naoligopraisso]

everyone knew that DC was going to mess up and delay with the updates, everyone knew that you couldn't expect anything from the tech-update, everyone knew that nothing new would come out of the tech-update, but holy shit, making the whole game turn into a reboot, DC has outdone itself, a round of applause for the scammer, he deserves it.
