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

[Holy Bacchus]

They claim that 0.19.5 saves should be compatible. I did not try to start 0.20.5 with a 0.19.5 save, but I started 0.20.1 with one and then took that over to 0.20.5 without major issues. But I think others had different experiences.

Well, this is what it looks like when trying to load saves:



And when I did load one of them it took me to a totally different point from where I saved it so not even going to try and start from an old save.

Story wise, the main story will reset some of you previous progress because that is required for the main story to advance (Consuela, Diane, Debbie and Jenny I think it was, maybe more).

The new content is definitly worth it, but it's not too much new content. If you can wait three more months, I would advise to wait and start completely fresh then. With Naughty Tribute Mod of course!

@Holy Bacchus:

In my opinion there's no real reasons to play and I'd wait until the main story is done, unless you've got a real urge to play, of course. Rumor has it that we may get a halloween update this year, which is probably another reason to wait until then at least.

Yeah, not really that desperate so I guess I'll just wait. Just been getting through a backlog of games that I've downloaded when their updates hit and finally got around to this one. Got plenty to keep me occupied until 20.8 including 3 other games to start again from scratch and 5 substantial games to start for the first time, plus still making my way through Crash Bandicoot 4 and got the PS5 coming next month, so plenty to do until then.

That would explain why the progress bar hasn't really moved much

Yeah, it was more or less the same with 0.19.5 back when when the tracker was really slow and this time it seems even worse.

And probably will again if that's when 20.8 is released.

It's kind of hard for me to believe they will be able to release an update in time for halloween. But I guess we will have to wait and see.

 

[vexx_]

Anyone know if I can still download v20?

 

[Omnikuken]

Not from here, and probably not on main site. Might try scrolling a few years down on Patreon and hope the link there still works. Or scour the interwebz and pray it's not a scam. Or just go with 0.20.5 since it's mostly the same as 0.20, with more stuff and bugfixes

 

[vexx_]

20.5 sadly doesn't work with 19.5 saves

 

[Omnikuken]

And ? Everything you already done in 0.19 (cookie scenes) will still be unlocked in 0.20+, unless you hit RESET or delete persistent file. You also need to start a new game since the sole purpose of 0.20 is to do the main story, which happens within the 1st week of Debbie's route, and then even if 0.19 save would work, it'd reset her route and throw you back to day 1

I guess we'll have to see. Aqua's halloween update was a 100% surprise update too and DC made her stuff while he was working on prior updates. Some time ago he talked about having prepared new monters girls, so we may get that content now.

 

[Smiruk]

On a side note, it's a good thing the incest patch work well, i (personally) think the family stuff is the most interesting of all

I remember him talking about the monster girls update and he said that it would be as big as a regular update, that is why I don't see it being released before halloween. Maybe he is just working on adding scenes for popular characters like grace.

As much as I like Aqua and Daisy, I feel like this is when the game started to lose it a bit. It's still very much a good game with the vast majority of its content, but the introduction of these mystical, fantasy creatures and the whole plotline with Diane's human milking business kinda takes this game off the rails a bit. It's not to say that this game is entirely realistic, but these things are just so outlandish compared to everything else that it almost takes some of the immersion out of it.

You know what I have 100% never in my life ever wanted? Sex with a human-cow hybrid creature. And with that comes an equally certain feeling that I do not want procreative sex with a human-cow hybrid creature.

I mean, where does this stuff even come from???

I agree but both are quite well hidden and highly optional, that's why it's fine to me. In the end this kind of choice is an up- and downside of a rather large sandbox which includes so many fetishes.

Edit: Just to add, it looks like DC pretty much planned some monster girls from the start. I still rememeber when he teased people that there was already a monster girl in the game and that they weren't looking hard enough to find her. And that was long before Aqua's update was released.

I never would have thought I wanted it either, but having had it, I wonder how I ever lived without it.

They're optional, sure, and to an extent so is Diane's storyline, but they're very outlandish in the context of the rest of the game and I still particularly find the whole "I'm gonna knock down my house to build a human milking farm" really weird in comparison to the other human characters storylines. Plus I'm still upset that we never get to fuck Diane in her own bedroom.

Yeah, the whole farm thing was is certainly odd and it's one of the reasons why Diane's update is my least favourite until now. They could have at least added a fire or something similar to have her house burn down, to add some realsim. When it comes to the bedroom, I think DC said that she'll get a room in MC's house at some point, so at least in that regard there's some hope. After all, her progress bar isn't even filled currently, so it's not like in Jenny's or Eve's case where it's really just a hope but they'll certainly return to her at some point.

Having said that, I think the plan has always been to introduce some more actual humans to the farm and to expand the business that way. So it's not fully related to Daisy.

Funny thing is, I think it would be fine if Daisy had been part of Diane's storyline, even if it's still outlandish. Like, at the point when Diane shows so much exhaustion, that's when the MC finds the first piece of her statue when doing his chores. Then when Diane's looking after her she finds out that she can produce milk at 2 or even 3x the amount of herself every day without a problem, and she can produce more when she's being bred. This would've meant Diane didn't have to demolish her house and could keep her business going and even make it better since Daisy can produce more milk regularly.

 

[passenger2054]

it would be cool where one knows about the existence of the other (harem) and furthermore they know that they have been having children with the guy, besides of course I want a greater development of all the stories, it proved to be a great game in my opinion.

Funny. That is excactly what I was saying some months ago
