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

[Omnikuken]

Well, yes, that's basically what I said. Once he had the plan to actually make the game (not looking at those first bi-weekly updates until 0.5 or so where he just messed around), it was always meant to be a visual VN/dating sim and that's literally the first sentence on his patreon page since almost the start when he started to take it a bit more serious. But since you have to start the day and the game somewhere, the house was the first thing that was there and Jenny was the first one who got show her boobs. Not really because there was a great plan to it, but just because it made and still makes sense.


I think you are mixing two things here. Yes, the game started at home and with a family because it makes sense for the plot, because it's convient and because easy to implement, but not because it was meant to be a game where it's about the incest (like let's say DMD, Light of my life or such).
Yes, the family is important and yes, incest was supposed to be part of it, but the game was never meant to be mostly about it.

It's mainly a problem of patreon development. Characters which already have content will amost always be more popular than those who don't. To me that's one of the reasons why the family characters were so much more popular at first and why they have lost so much support over time.

Edit: What I want to say is, that DC never had some kind of classic-ICSTOR-like plot in mind and then suddenly switched to the current scenario. At first he just started and when he made up his mind, what we are getting now was more or less the result.

A visual visual novel, now that's visual

@ericcha:
I think it's pretty much self evident, that the NSFW gaming community is for the most part very undemanding when it comes to plots. Of course we'll never know for sure, but there's a high chance that the vast majority of players won't care at all about that specific issue, some will like the game(s) as they are, some will say that there's too much story in any case and only some will agree with your point.

Will people appreciate a good plot? Most of the time, sure. Will they reject a game because the incest isn't as on point as you say it should be? Very likely not. In fact one could even argue that incest is a topic where it's not the worst idea to stay a bit superficial, because like that you'll like keep those playing, who don't really like incest and who else may quit.

In the end the topic is misplaced here anyway, given that SS doesn't even offcially support incest and given that there won't be real/detailed incest content until they may bother once the game is take off patreon. We may have that discussion here hopefully a few years time...

I'm just complaining to just get my opinion out there. I will still play the games. I still like them I just wish they were better.

Are you expecting that all the satisfied people come here and post in this thread how satisfied they are? And because no one does, there must be no satisfied people? That's what I call logic. Not.

And if one does make glowing comments on the forum, there weill be those claiming they are "simps" and "fanboys" because it is so much edgier to dislike something. As it appears, the complainers make up a fair percentage in the forums, while the reviews often tell a much different story. This game has 4-1/2 stars. Sounds like a lot of people actually like it.

Like a Personal Identification Number Number or an Automated Teller Machine Machine?

There's people out there who don't play VNs for the plot? Wild.

Ma used to order sushi back in the day, except she'd throw away the rice 'cause of the carbs. It's as counter-productive as it sounds, and since then I've just accepted that some folks are born chaotic.

People dislike things because they dislike things, not because it's edgy or a bandwagon. Just because someone has criticism on the game doesn't necessarily mean they dislike the game, I like the game but I have a lot of criticism for it and each update I care less about it. And honestly I see more people calling "complainers" names like whiners and crybabies than seeing people go after fanboys like you say.

i just took a look at the progress bar, how is the code still at 19/90? i thought that was the main thing they are working on with the tech update

The Tech update is about making the game widescreen, so it involves widening every background of the game. Therefore, the art is actually a lot more work. But that's what I think. Coding shouldn't be too much of an issue, I think.

 

[SSBBSNAKE]

I think the Omnikuken Police Department, should be aware that recently a high rate of new accounts have been committing crimes of moaning, scam and milking scamlord too frequently...and now those include, game marketing...

who can tell me how unlock this Scenes?

 

[jbomb]

I think on my playthrough I must have disabled the futa/trans content, and was wondering if there is a way to enable it without starting new?

One should keep in mind that the tasks don't really reflect the actual workload. I haven't seen the most recent patron task overview, but I'm pretty sure that most of the tech tasks are indeed just rewiring the old backgrounds to the new ones. As such they'll probably be finished rather quickly once the art is done. The same will probably be true for the posing tasks, too.

I don't think so but in cookie jar you can rewatch the scenes with trans enabled.

 

[Marphey]

Thanks. I will check out that site. Yeah I realize we won't get it because I believe most these devs do not understand the fantasy.

Be advised with "Literotica" that it's on level of fanfic sites and it's amature writes posting stories there and some stories are rubbish.

As stated, the tech update will have to recode the new 16:9 backgrounds with whatever new pose/girl/anything DC had to redraw. On top of a giant list of behind-the-scenes engine stuff to make saves forward compatible and other stuff. Check the wiki/poll to have an exhaustive list of junk getting updated

you guys are probably right, any guess when the tech update might be finished? is august this year too optimistic? i'm kinda losing my hope that we're getting the rhonda update this year

August was my optimistic hope but I'm not really sure they'll manage that. Most of the hard and large locations seem to be done and I've really no idea how fast they'll be able to wrap everything up after DC finishes the art.

But I'd agree, that even now the chance to get a Ronda update this year is small. It'll surely take 4,5 to 5 months, so we can do the maths.

 

[Omnikuken]

Took 3 months for lewd batch 1, should take the same for lewd batch 2, then another 4+ for the code part. No way we'll see R(h)onda this year. We might get her around April next year (big if), then Annie's around August and maybe Judith for Xmas 2022. That's being generous and without any random "0.5 bugfix patch" that take a month to release in-between

More surprising is we're ~3 weeks after release and the milkers aren't back yet. Weird

 

[McSlut]

probably still busy fapping to the last batch of scenes, they will be back soon enough especially if you’re right and the whole tech update will really take 9 months or more lol

Kind of surprised there is not an achievement for having an plethora of kids. At least I did not see one on the wiki. I got bored and hit 100 for shiggles.

I'm not into the preggo stuff, but as a goof I created a save where I got all 14 preggables stuffed at the same time over like 4 or 5 game-days. I think that should merit a trophy, if only for MC stamina reasons.

I haven't played through their terms yet, but I'm wondering how the game handles it, since there are only 4 rooms in the Summerville Hospital maternity ward. I guess there's only a maximum of 4 pregs than can happen on any one day (Jenny is the only currently preggable character I can think of that you can boink in the late night time slot (...........hehe, 'slot'...........), so I think that's the only way of having 4 birthdays on the same day.
