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

[Lavance]

Bears no point as to why we are here. Which is the whole point of my comment - discussing that is fully off-topic and we aren't here to save anyone from anything we think anyone is doing on other sites.
It does not. Read the rules to the forum you are posting on - your arguments are off-topic and against the rules of this site -- and this thread, specifically. You're welcome to do so in an off-topic thread, however.
Again, it's not relevant to the topic of this thread. If you're going to be repetitious and obstinate, don't get defensive when I reply in kind.
Yup, because attempting to follow the rules of a forum and simply stating facts is sucking dick. Gotcha.
You present nothing but conjecture and conspiracy theories - I present what is shown by the history of the development of the game, what is presented in reports, with links to such, and links to rules of the site to support my writing. But I'm the one who's spouting fiction? Gotcha.

Anyone wishing to have off-topic conversations about Summertime Saga or the developer - feel free to join me in the off-topic thread I made so people can have these conversations (or arguing about these conversations) without bloating this thread where people are looking for information about the content of the title, rather than the conspiracy theories.

This entire reply actually presented nothing and i nearly fell asleep reading it.

I just liked Becca from the beginning because of her design. The redheaded farm girl look does it for me. Even though she is not a farm girl. But I was always hopeful she would get some fleshing out, and I've gotten some of my wish there.

at this rate it's going to take 5-6 trillion years before the game is completed

 

[memosabry777]

at this rate it's going to take 5-6 trillion years before the game is completed

and this is very optimistic

 

[Dragon59]

at this rate it's going to take 5-6 trillion years before the game is completed

In the year 2525
If DC is still alive...

guys the last time i played i think it was the eve and her sister update its been too long and i felt like every character story was done can anyone tell met is the new content worth it to replay and is there new scenes with jenny or debbie

 

[Bababoooey]

It has moved in the past 6 months - from 57% to 70% of completed tasks. Also at the same time, the number of tasks needing accomplished have also increased. Just like with any estimate - some tasks aren't as obvious when first considered, some tasks produce new tasks, and then the small updates released while they work on the tech update also add to the load because they need to be integrated into the new code (that code we haven't seen yet).

For what's been happening: see 9, 10, 14, 15 below.

its been a year and a half and its still at 82% hahaha, have any hope left now? just mark this as abandoned already

 

[Senigata]

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

Roxxy much?

Per F95 rules, it will be marked abandoned if someone reports it May 1, 2024 and no update by that time. Set yourself a reminder. You took my quote out of context.

You whined, incorrectly, that the progress bar hadn't moved but 1% in the six months in question. I simply replied that it had moved by 13%. I made no statement how I felt about it or my hopes. So, let's get that straight, right up. So your first "gotcha moment" is more a meh.

In the past year and a half it has moved another 12%. You are correct. I also have been saying for a little bit of time, that I don't expect an update until sometime spring 2024 at the earliest... and probably later. So your second "gotcha moment" is a ho-hum.

Finally, what does it matter if a title - any title on this sight - gets marked abandoned? It doesn't change whatever the developer is or isn't doing. It's not like they say "Oh fuck, F95 marked my VN abandoned. I might as well just dump everything in the trash" or "Fuck, now I gotta get off my ass." Some might do either of them, but the average developer won't care. And a successful developer would care even less.

Also, even when an abandoned tag is given to a game - people still go into the threads and pine for what was and what could have been. They wax nostalgic about the lost potential. They beg for the developer to come back.

And there will still be trolls who come in and bitch "update when?"

 

[Munchking]

you're not white knighting any other game developer only DC.

He's actually really active in the thread for Light of My Life (good taste), which itself can get hella salty due to long development times. In between discussions of bears and catapults and catapulting bears.

 

[vlad777sk]

hello it is possible in the next uptade threeosome with two teachers,or mrs johnson mom,or mom and teacher

Nope. Next update is the tech update. The one after that is R(h)onda. The one after that is Annie. The one after that is Judith. Also, the developer never communicates here - if you want to make suggestions, go to the developer's discord for free or picarto for free or subscribe to their patreon.

No next update yet?

 

[CassidyPRO]

Lmao.. and there are still ppl defending DC in this thread.. xD

Milfy City thread is a pretty good example lol. No matter how "bad" DC is, he'll never be fucking ICSTOR when it comes to fleecing patrons.

I don't think they're really comparable other than the objective fact that time between releases skews the same and long. Yes NaughtyRoad takes an incredibly long time but he's updating you every step of the way, you can see the progress bars (or the equivalent with that weird head fill thing he does), so I have no issue there.

Meanwhile DarkCookie has been stuck on this shit for like 3 years now, the progress bar has been stuck on 80% for like half of that time, every time progress update are asked it's usually in the line of "we had unforeseen problems with the backgrounds", his streams are usually either very relaxed drawing sessions of backgrounds or future content (which is totes ready to release after this update, by the way ) and any inclination this is actually being worked one is a case of "just trust me, bro" and, gotta say, that trust is running a bit thin.

 

[leaderginta]

Is this AAA game or some shit? 1 and a half years for 13% lol

 

[hu lover]

Is this AAA game or some shit? 1 and a half years for 13% lol

You don't think this game is promising?

 

[SonofOrion]

For crying out loud. Enough with the "It's taking too long... It is abandoned... It is never coming out" Bullshit. There needs to be a thread that they can go to, or be linked to; and get the hell out of this one.
