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

[Wattle]

I abandoned any hope for this game after the whole Dogeek story erupted. Seems like things went from bad to worse since. What a waste.

Dogeek story?

Not sure how or why you'd report it here on F95? This site isn't to blame if the game is a scam.

Or do you mean report on Patreon? Not sure that's helpful either, Patreon as a site is pretty clear about its stance that your pledges to a creator are just donations and aren't commercial exchanges for any expected product. Even if a game is the most obvious milking ever, from a legal perspective it's not a scam because you technically were never promised anything in exchange for your pledge (except maybe some perks like access to locked posts or streams).

About the only thing you can do if you decide a creator you've been pledging to has rugpulled you, is to take the L, call it a learning opportunity, and move on with your life. There's no recourse. That's by design.

Eh hypothetically if it could be proven that DC spent the money on an absurd amount of cocaine, it'd be a fraud case and possibly a class action could result

But yeah idk why people have donated for years when there's no incentive to ruin the cash cow

Once upon a time I liked this story, but due to long development period I lost interest in this project. It's surprising after all these years, that it is still in process of being production.

Dogeek story?

Honestly it's been so long and it was kind of two opposing stories, so who knows the exact truth. But basically Dogeek refactored a lot of the code of the game, but due to DC's leadership on the project that was kinda reluctant to anyone else than him making big changes to the game and giving decent pay, noone able enough for the budget of this game is working on it. Except DC himself. I wonder if it's bad leadership and/or selfish interest, but whatever it is, this game is just a waste of time and money. Loads of talented artists and devs to support out there that are putting much more effort and talent into this than the wooden hut that is Kompas.

 

[pron2021]

need to pay him for even a status update 100% scam

well idiots paid millions for NFTs so why not pay a few bucks for a few words and possibly some jpgs



im being sarcastic, of course

2 years, 7 months, 17 days. See the Patreon screenshot in the pic below.

looks like one of those Kickstarter scams

 

[Forsaken9027]

Picarto uploads its progress so I don't think it's a scam

 

[VictorMC]

It's sad what this game became, a good game turned into a milking game.

Eh hypothetically if it could be proven that DC spent the money on an absurd amount of cocaine, it'd be a fraud case and possibly a class action could result

I guess, if cocaine allows him to be more creative, that's actually ok

 

[OnyxShadow]

At this point there has to have been at least as much if not more work done on the framework for the tech update than there would have been to build an entirely new game.

And I for one would have preferred a new game to something I've been looking at for almost 10 years.

You know Voilé is doing all the work by himself, right?

 

[Gaias]

Dude has spent 10+ days drawing a classroom background and works a max of 2 hours a day.

 

[jak1165]

It's basically a scam at this point. Dunno why people argue it. Do whatever you want with your money. But if he was actually interested, he probably could have built a new game from scratch in the last 2 years instead of milking the cash cows with a tech update

 

[Cervy2pervy]

ICSTOR pulled through and DC didnt . wtf

 

[snakeplisskin]

ICSTOR pulled through and DC didnt . wtf

I am surprised by that since i kept reading that Icstor had died.

 

[atomicp]

I am surprised by that since i kept reading that Icstor had died.

At this point, even a dead guy has more work ethic than DC lol

 

[Noelle Silva]

Jenny has so much content that every status update involves some kind of work on her

 

[polishhammer83]

People can certainly do whatever they want with their own money, but I can't stand how some, even on here or Reddit, defend DC and attack or bitch about people pointing out the scam.

This was THE adult game back in 2015-16! As time has dragged on, it went from a joke, to pathetic, to an outright scam.

I agree with many of you, I wish the money flow would stop. The game isn't being finished either way, but this thief is only profiting the longer this goes on.

PS: We want Judith!

 

[randommal3]

I wonder if DC would take a Pict Request.
I would ask him for One Judith artwork too.
