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

[NoScope360]

I waited, starting a new game, then realize my save slot is almost full and the update is not even close yet.. guess i have to delete them all and start a new game again..

I wonder, is there a possibility that Rhonda update will be released very soon after tech update. With this speed of progress there is a chance that DC will finish graphics for Rhonda update at the same time when coders finish their job with tech update. Also I imagine there will be not much work for coders in Rhonda update.

I guess the time should be a little shorter compared to other updates, but it'll indeed depend on how much actual content DC manages to draw in the meantime.

This is actually why I'm against a 3rd batch of scenes. DC should simply draw six scenes for Ronda instead. By now he's adding so much content to the tech update which really could be added at some other point, like front yards for every new location, ~18 instead of 5 sex scenes, etc.

I have no Earthly idea why he keeps adding front yards for every location. If the game requires it for an event or if there needs to be multiple points of egress that's fine, but there are quite a few that offer only one clickable location, have never had any characters on them, and generally just take up more game time and mouse wear. Like you said, they could really be added at a later date if ever.

Well, the yards and the different day times add a lot of atmosphere to the game and I get that he wanted them for every building to be consistent once he actually started using them.

I mean, in this case it's actually different compared to prior updates. Usually the art is the limiting factor by far, but this time DC is adding more and more stuff to the update because the rest takes so long. That shouldn't have happened.

Late edit: Looks like they actually hired another poser next to the one last month. So there's probably hope for at least some progress sooner than later.

you can speed up the work of the support only by stopping donating it. for him it is a cash cow. for such donations it would be possible to finish the game completely in a year. icstor would be jealous.

How does that make any sense ? Updates were pure trash when he started. Updates are still meh now. Him making 0$ or 80k a month doesn't change anything. Imagine he got shafted back to no income : 5 dudes get removed and you're stuck with DC doing everything alone like the pre 0.10 builds. You really believe that would improve the game ? And if by some voodoo magic assbackward way you reply "yes", please enlighten us how that reasoning makes more sense than what we get now. Or better yet, go find and play every version before ~0.10-0.11 and come back telling us how that was better. Expecting you deleting your account instead of coming back in utter shame

there are examples when in a year or two with the same, and even less budget, it turned out to make a full-fledged game. it's just that work has turned into a hobby for a person. that's all. I assure you that this year and in the first quarter of the next year there will be no updates.

Still not making much sense. This game was never work for DC, he quit his normal job before starting to make the game. People liked it and dumped $ on him.

Also GJ guessing the ~64% progress that took almost 9 months won't finish in the next 2 weeks/before year's end ......... We knew that back in August. Guess 1 dude having to recode the entire game+16:9 backgrounds+making sure every scene ever doesn't assplode onto itself takes time .......

anyone know where this comes from? Its not part of the vanilla game right?

It's only fan art, not a scene from the game

 

[Filipe86]

Did DC already told what characters get scenes in the 3rd batch?

This is some of the dumbest drivel I've ever subjected my brain to. Let's try something here.
Pick a Triple-A developer or studio of your choice and they've started work on a game.
Now imagine it's taken them three+ years to get it into a playable state.
Now think about what would happen if all the funding were to be yanked away.

No funding != better game and faster devlopment.
No funding = No game.

Bioware and Anthem

Not much difference than the epicly hot garbage we got

Never played Anthem, never wanted to. I prefer their single-player affairs... With the exception of Andromeda.

So the task traker is still broke?

It’s a damn miracle that characters like Josephine even have sex scenes and can get pregnant, when you wasted a bunch of art money on adding a trans Eve. I’m surprised you can even fuck Grace. Still no sex with the lifeguard or Lopez and Martinez, after a year and a half of not playing, but you can fuck Camila’s mom and get her pregnant?

Just work on other characters before introducing more. I can’t believe you’re even able to fuck Tina in more than one place.

So basically you got no idea how the game is made and you're just crying random girls from the main route got scenes before secondary girls in other's routes that need polls to get stuff ?

Was there too much smex with randos in the main route ? Maybe. Would it have been better to wait the entire 0.20 dev cycle (aka 1 year) with barely anything lewd cause people (like you) get mad these new randos got scenes before the other polled 2ndary girls ? Probably not, unless your goal in this is to indeed moan about girls you apparently don't like. Will any of this change anything aside point a fat finger at your weird anger ? Nope. Have fun though, it makes for a good laugh

 

[Omnikuken]

Woah woah woah ... slow down. My popcorn popper can't handle my demand while I read your rants. I'm having to outsource this to the Real Geniuses at Pacific Tech.

Just locate random corn field, mishandle a nuke, profits

You can tell the dev didn’t go to college, cause he thinks detentions and hall monitors are a thing in what’s supposed to be a university setting. Dude has proofreaders but it’s been at least a year and a half, and none of them could be assed to ctrl+r “Teachers” into “Professors” and “Classes” into “Lectures/Courses”?

I went to a 4 year university where they had us waste a year on General Studies, but even that isn’t obviously the excuse for this game.

The tattoos being too much work was also a fucking dumb excuse, cause there’s a finished game on this site, also made in Ren’py with tattoos like “Bad Bitch”, Angel Wings, a Bird, “Daddy’s Girl” and “Thug Life” so it’s possible, he would just rather spend money on more Trump shit.

Mall still looks like it has no content, other than stupid art of buyable plushies. He’s just lucky the artist hasn’t died from this covid bullshit, cause the game wouldn’t be as good in a crappier style.

So you don't like the game. May I ask why you bother playing it? Also, from your rant I did not find anything wrt/ the tattoo stuff you mention. What game are you talking about? I bet it's just another 3D assets re-use clone anyway.
