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

[jestertlw]

Its been a long time I came back to check on this game...
Look lets be honest here the game is a fine piece of work there is no need to shit on it.
The main complaint here is that for what ever reason this patreon is able to accumulate 100K of revenue per month, yet delivers so little and so infrequent. You'd expect with that much funding they could speed up the process a little faster by hiring more people or put in more dedication but here we are here.
And don't give me the shit about 'because this is the revamp update', they were this slow way before the tech update came to be.
And if you say that art takes time, well according to the past progress checker art is always the first to finish.

I think the progress will be faster when the number of patreons start to decrease

Holy shit?! You two must have invested a ton money into the game to have this kind of sense of entitlement. Since you two are investors, or at least patreons, you should reach out to the dev directly instead of on a site where the dev (almost?) never comes. Being investors/patreons - you know that the dev has a Discord with announcements/discussions and streams regularly on Picarto while drawing. Here, those of us who pay for free have learned we have no room to bitch about how long it is between releases because we haven't put our time, effort, or money into designing the game.

He came once in ~3 years last August and got his 15 posts count there in 1 sitting of roughly 15 mins replying to whatever hot garbage duders threw at him when they found out he was online .... This place doesn't exist for him (and rightly so)

Entitlement - it's preached at the highest levels. They can't help themselves.

Have the milkers evolved for the 1st time in ~4 years ? Now not only is DC making $ pure heresy, they also want the game made better with less income and it needs to release yesterday ? This is gonna end welll

Odette's fullmoon event last year was Halloween theme'd-ish. You get an achievement when Satan Claus sleighs around the town and you click on him (maybe not click, you still get an achievement with him around). We also got pre-retconned Consuela route for Xmas in 2019. But nothing (probably) this year. Blame not enough milkage

thanks man

Im sure he will survive and focus on the game all the same whatever dips or rises happen short term - i especially doubt he gives a fuck about salty pirates (who certainly are last to encourage faster updates just so they can steal them) bitching at lack of progress on the progress bar over the xmas holidays of all times lol

No stealing required. They release the game for free.

weve been waiting for this tech update to finish for what? 17 or 18 months? i just checked and they're still only at 63% completion. I've been waiting for this game for 5 years now. i don't think its ever going to get done and that makes me sad

I mean, it's taking way longer than it should have (and it'll include more content than it should have), but it's 9 months by now since the last real update dropped and they released a few minor updates in between.

Don't get me wrong, this is one of the best game I've ever played I'm a fan not a butthurt fanboy who just attacks other people just because I have different opinion not all aspects but certain aspects of the game

At this pace, I would expect bunch III of pre-tech updates by end of January, and we are quite good in schedule (except, of course, that the real tech update takes way longer than expected -- but that's why we got the pre-tech updates).

It's good to know I can find/quote this tomorrow when another person who plays the free game complains that the free update isn't here yet. Thankee.

It doesn't point out the tracker's been stuck around 60% for the last year though, they'll find a way to weasel around and blame that instead

When this two event happens

When this two event happens

Removed from the game and never. You might get the 2nd pic at random while using the telescope (if they didn't remove it too)

Another reason the OP and the server mods are a complete joke : most of the previews aren't in-game anymore, many links point out to broken junk that fucks the game and nobody does anything to fix it. Good luck getting anything done not being the MEGA link

 

[leotort]

When was it removed and why?

 

[Omnikuken]

When was it removed and why?

The Diane scene was dumped when they remade her route into the "huehue house goes dead, barn is better" update for whatever reason they thought was good enough. The Erik 1 was also dumped for whatever they came out with at random between builds (not that it matter much in this case)

You can play it again if you can find a build around ~0.16 or earlier (and witness the pure trash that was the game back then, while also possibly fucking up your gallery if you save/load around this older build and 0.20.12)

 

[Myth-x-gamer]

So what will the next update be? Pre tech III or tech update?

I'm pretty sure it's going to be pre tech III.
