Lol, totally missed this one:Post your Signatures thread

 

[Fate stay]

Hi all. I am from the future. It's 2032 now. An update is expected in December. This time 100%

 

[Omniel]

You mentioned other games that this thread is not for - which is off-topic per the rules (2.4) for the site. You also went into tirade of a conspiracy theory - not simply criticism - about the time for the update. Both of which are actually off-topic per the rules for the site (2.7), as well as the thread (#66,232). If you kept it to on-topic, it may have remained.

Now you're complaining about moderator actions in the thread, again off-topic (2.1) for the site. If you have a problem with a moderator, you should open a ticket.

EDIT: I've also had at least one post from this thread deleted by a mod in the past hour. C'est la vie. We learn from our mistakes and move on.

Now back to on-topic, what's your favorite cookie jar scene and which character is completely overrated?

Hmm... Well I don't have one particular scene I really like I mean all of them are great but Maria's scenes are really good, this might change though cause I have not played any version after v20.8. so I have a lot of backlogs (pre-tech updates).
I am gonna say something controversial here and many like her but Eve seems pretty overrated to me, and maybe Odette as well.

What about you? What's your favorite scene, which character is overrated, and which is underrated?

 

[Senigata]

To actually say something about the game as is: Jenny is the most overrated character in this entire game, shitty attempt at making a tsundere with all the bitchiness, but none of the actual dere qualities because she's written through a western lense, which largely just translates to being a huge bitch.

Thanks for coming to my TED-Talk.

 

[Count Morado]

I'm not going to deny - I lean toward Jenny as the most overrated character, just like Senigata thinks. She's not a compelling character, simply a foil and obstacle. She has no goal, as a character, except to be a thorn and to make money through streaming. I get why she can be someone's preferred because of traditional tropes.

I really don't have any cookie jar scene that I get the itch to revisit, I would say for those that choose to follow the Eve transgender route that the scene where she reveals herself is decently done.

As for the most underrated? Missy. Probably due to her inner conflict of being interested in the MC while wanting to remain loyal to her friends early in the story line.

If only they truly reworked and refined that sub-dom route of her. That would be great.

That's indeed what annoys me the most about her story. They added quite a few choices, but they mean close to nothing and I'm not sure, if there are actually any plans to chance that. It's such a waste...

 

[FGM01]

Wait, Jenny was supposed to be a tsundere? Yeah, they kind of forgot the dere parts.

That's what I thought from the start. When we got access to her diary, I thought might be the avenue the story would use to give us a look into her true inner emotions and start evoking some more pleasant feelings. Well, her true inner emotions were shallow and vapid douche lol.

I don't think she's supposed to be what you'd call tsundere. DC basically always said that she's suppose to stay as she is and I'm pretty sure the only way to make her join MC's prom will be to pay her a good sum of money. As such I don't really like her character or her story, but I actually respect that decision.

 

[XCelesX]

Give Roxxie her pregnancy scenes already! Why is she the one you just left out after finishing the story more or less?!

Well to be fair she gets alot of extra stuff most characters can only dream of and her character developed actually over time. Especially seen with the picture of her father.
I guess over time she can be what people are waiting for. I have more faith in them continuing her story than them giving a damn about any other character accept maybe Eve who is fully developed

 

[Count Morado]

Her pregnancy route is not "the one" left out. There are several still in the works. Every eligible person able to become pregnant will have such a route. The main story goal - finding out what happened to the MC's father - is complete. However, the dating sim/date for the big dance story goal is still in the works. The third story goal could be seen as essentially complete, but the story arc hasn't been finalized and still needs development.

Finally, the development team never communicates here. If you want to suggest to them content or ask questions of them - you will need to go to their discord or picarto streams or become a patreon and do so there. No one here has any power or control over Summertime Saga development.

 

[j4yj4m]

Simply because her update was the last one to happen before the pregnancy system got added in 0.17. There's really nothing more to it. She's supposed to get a small rework for the rig system and pregnancy will be part of that.

Well to be fair she gets alot of extra stuff most characters can only dream of and her character developed actually over time. Especially seen with the picture of her father.

That's true, I just think it would have been better if they hadn't added these options in the first place.

A fellow Missy fan!



I won't complain that we got some dedicated Becca content, but I was sad that we didn't get more of Missy at the same time. DC's been working on her house on stream lately, so hopefully he'll sneak in a scene or two with her sometime soon.

question out of the subject how do we keep the previous saves of a game when a new update comes out ? .. do we copy the old save file and then paste it in the new downloaded updated game or what we do .. and i talk about all games not summertime in particular

Ren'Py titles like Summertime Saga usually have saves stored in two places:

C:\...\{title}\game\saves\
%appdata%\Renpy\{title}-#######\

For example it might look like this:
C:\SummertimeSaga-0-20-16\game\saves
%appdata%\Renpy\SummertimeSaga-1234567\

So, even if you delete the directory where you have Summertime Saga or you overwrite it - the %appdata% should still have the previous saves which the new version would look for. However, things can happen - so always make backups if you really are concerned.

Renpry saves games in two locations, one of which is in your windows user files, so you never need to move saves to a new version. (the other being the indivual game's/version/release's files, which only contain the saves made for that version. The game will show ALL saves from both locations.)

Now, will those save be compatible with a new version? that is up to the developers... and to that end, it is almost assured that the tech update will break all saves. Educated guess.

Missy is cute. I liked how, because she's bit on the stupid side, she can't really keep up the mean act and is friendly to MC. It's a nice foil to Becca, who takes longer than even Roxxy to warm up to him (largely due to not being there during the moments that endear Roxxy to him)

 

[Count Morado]

I would agree. I also am in doubt that there will be the option to "start at new content" as available in current and previous versions.

I haven't played the game in so long, I don’t mind starting over, personally.
