Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5003] [Kompas Productions]

[Vibescu]

DC makes a lot of money and you don't. Deal with it.

 

[Omnikuken]

Even funnier that the ones bitching about how much money devs make are doing it here instead of the Patreon.
If you're not paying why would you care about the money side and if you are paying why are you posting your complaints on a piracy forum?

They probably know they'd get banned within minutes on Discord if they went there and called DC a milking scamlord

 

[bastaose]

people should also realize that dark cookie doesn't make all the money on his patreon, he has an entire team he pays a salary out of that.

 

[Hank Moody]

Don't bother, it's the same for pretty much every single popular patreon project.
Every update sucks, every game had so much potential but then went to shit, every dev is just milking it.

Let them bitch, it's not like any dev would read through all of this and take it to heart.

Summertime Saga was a high-quality game back in 2017-2018ish

But the hard truth is that many games have come out since then and exposed Summertime Saga as being subpar.

The only positive of Summertime Saga was the art style but even then its been getting worse and worse with each new update. They even go back and change previous character art and somehow make it worse.

Nothing worse than having your favorite character get redesigned for no reason whatsoever.

Last I checked Summertime Saga was still the #1 pledged adult game on Patreon, so a lot of people seem to disagree with your hard truth.

What similar game would you consider it subpar to?

 

[franksiinatra]

I think it's a bug

It's not a bug, literally read the changes. They removed it because it caused inconsistencies with her story, theyll re-add it when her story is finished

 

[Badjourasmix]

The update hasn't even been released for 24h and people are already complaining again.

 

[Falkfisch]

Oh, a update...
let me guess...
Saves not compatible

 

[Badjourasmix]

The update is alright. Just too slow and too little for 4 months. With near 70,000$ a month, DC has more than enough to hire more people. At best updates should take 2-3 months. I stopped being a long time high tier patron last year for this reason. Giving them more money doesn't help anymore
I've also told DC multiple times to get some help on his stream (when i watched them in 2018-19) and he still hasn't gotten a proper artist.

I know that DC didn't ask for this amount of money or support but it doesn't change the fact that it's there and now his responsibility to use that money for the project. He doesn't have to but it is expected of him whether he likes it or not.

This won't stop me from playing and I really like the game but it'd be cool if the input (money) matched the output (updates/content)

His max goal on patreon was 30k it's not his fault people keep giving him money. If he wanted a bigger team he would've hired more people a long time ago. His patrons seem happy with the content they are getting since he doesn't seem to be losing any patrons quite the contrary. So I don't get why people are still bitching about the money he makes. If you're a patron and you feel like he isn't giving you enough content, I get it why you would complain. If you're getting it for free I don't see why it matters so much how much he makes. It doesn't come out of your pocket.

Guys I am playing on android. How can I play the new patch with my save?

 

[T-dog]

What is the event that triggers Consuella and opens the rump house?

 

[Rickster82]

Spoiler allowed!

Is a new sex scene with Maria in this update avaiable for example in her apartment? I saw it is possible to meet her there.

 

[mrpopo69]

Yep I agree, good update I just hoped they put more content for Iwanka and Melonia (especially her even though she has a variation) instead of a scene for Maria who already has enough as it is. Tina had only one scene so i guess it's ok to put one more.

Those two were definitely in need of more content but I'm eh on the scenes months later. If I was in charge of story the Rump girls they would get the Eve treatment instead of a Grace and Odette like treatment. They are more unique characters in the Summertime world than given credit, they are the only rich daughter and mother you can win over to bang. Lots of untapped possibilities. You know for sure the updates for only two girls that are that large would take the whole year though. I know others hate that but I prefer the big single character-centric updates we got in the past, and only very few characters have them (Mom, Sis, Diane, Roxxy, Eve)

 

[throwawayyy13]

This update was a mess, the good girls only one scene each, no 3some with maria and tony (he lays in the couch like a corpse) tina a quickie in the bank, nothing more nothing less, melonia is a goddamn sex starved slut, for iwanka in my humble opinion we saw a little character development from rich girl to cool rich girl (no girl i know stays in a "party" after being called slut) and after becoming preggo she doesnt become a bitch like her mom does; forgot no preggo sex for no one in this update, the good thing is the police girl is now in the house, so that would be a good chance to make some story for her

There is preggo sex with Maria at the restaurant. She is only wearing an apron and asks for sex.

 

[Fapping_Khajiit]

Does anyone know if the the other finished characters will get pregnancy content at all?(The teachers, Roxxy, her friends and mom, MCs mom, Mia and so on)

 

[Strajder]

Spoiler

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

First time carrying bags for her in the apartment there was no option to have sex with her, now even after 2 pregnancies, those scene with bags are not showing anymore and also while talking to her in the apartment there are still no sex option.

Same goes with tina office sex, there is no option for that when taliking to her even after several pregnancies.

 

[Marphey]

Jenny's pregnacy is bugged. She won't get pregnant no matter what. Not even the impregnation wheel is showing.

 

[SaddamHussein]

Can you use old saves ?

He's content putting out very little content every 4-6 months and his patrons are content , so I guess who cares? I am floored that he keeps gaining patrons. I stopped subscribing over a year ago now when the milking started getting bad and he gave up on incest entirely.

 

[Badjourasmix]

Again, it's expected.

People "bitch" because they don't think he deserves it for the amount of work that's being put out.

Also because he keeps getting patrons regardless and the money isn't going towards the project so it's seen as "milking".

And sure, it's not their money but they see it as dumb and unfair (just like with rich people/corporations), specially if there are other creators that put their money to better use.

If I had to choose a side I'd rather bitch/complain/criticize than be complacent.
It comes down to the type of person you are: complacent or not complacent
If nobody bitched and everyone was content with everything, then there would be no pressure to improve and that's a big slippery slope.

It's not fair for whom? That is what I don't get, people like his game and decide to support him, if they aren't supporting other games it's because they don't like and don't want to support other games. Again if the people giving him money are ok with it, I don't get why the people that don't spend a single cent on the game, complain so much about how much he is making.
