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

[IdleGuy]

There's no advertisement (neither does he advertise nor does he accept advertisers), no merch, he doesn't commercialize his streams, he doesn't release updates as much as he should to gain attention (sadly), he doesn't sell the game on steam, he doesn't really charge people for early access - he indeed doesn't make people pay for the game at all.

Microtransaction would surely be predatory, but as said, I'm sure many actual companies/devs would try to add premium content into the game, if they had such a huge audience, that's obviously willing to pay.

* No advertisers would bite anyway. Unless you show ads for like body pillows or shady VPNs like they do on 4chan, most advertisers don't wanna platform on anything even resembling porn.
* No merch producers would bite either (and, let's face it, it's not like STS has super-iconic character design to warrant it either)
* Aren't his exclusive streams for his Patreons anyway?
* Steam wouldn't tolerate this game because they don't allow porn games in a high-school setting. Even if the characters are 18+.

Charging for EA is about the only thing he still could do.

Back on topic - responding to an actual question about the game:

Has the story finally reached its conclusion, or are we embarking on what seems to be an endless journey? The anticipation was part of the initial charm, but it's becoming a challenge to maintain the enthusiasm.

The main storyline was concluded in October 2020 - finding out what happened to the MC's father. There is still the storylines for getting a date for the big dance and earning enough $$$ for college.

But yes, the developer has stated several times over the past six years or longer that this game is pretty much "open ended." As long as there are fans wanting more content, as long as the development teams has ideas, and as long as they are enjoying what they are doing - even should the three storylines get completed - there could still be more content released over time.

I'm not saying advertisments and and merch would have the biggest impact, but given the massive number of downloads, I'm pretty sure there's money to be made - as with everything that reaches millions of users.

* Aren't his exclusive streams for his Patreons anyway?

No, free for everybody.

* Steam wouldn't tolerate this game because they don't allow porn games in a high-school setting. Even if the characters are 18+.

Patreon doesn't allow these games, either and that's not the official setting anyway. If the game is viable on patreon, it's theoretically workable on Steam, too. Being a DIK and others have proven that. And even if that's the case, it would take DC a few days at best to change the setting to a proper 100% university, if he'd really wanted to release the game on Steam.

Charging for EA is about the only thing he still could do.

And charging for the game itself, too, obviously.

Thank you for letting me know.

I have to be honest, the project lost me pretty early on due to my frustration.
Looking back fairly, I think my skepticism was mostly sparked by seeing the same endless development patterns from other projects at the time.

Also, when Taffy Tales came out with what seemed like a carbon copy of the storyline, it just added to my confusion.
Kinda felt like both projects merged in my head, losing their distinct identities.

Are we gonna get this patch by the end of this year? Or it will be next mid year

Highly doubtful. More likely so, or later.

This guy really loves to compare billions dollars companies with a 60k a month patreon game.

Taffy Tales is a case of following the leader due to Summertime Saga's success. That's honestly not a rarity, a lot of games on this websites copy certain aspects. Like how you can’t throw a stone without hitting a game with incest on here. There's very few games that you can say are truly unique in premise and execution, too.

Judith is one of the best girls in the game with the best tits and she has gotten no love for years. No only her but we haven't seen any more development of Diane's story or the milking business. Imagine getting Judith to come out of her shell by bringing her to Diane and having auntie turn the label of "cow" from harmful insult by school bullies into a term of female empowerment and getting Judith to join the milk company as a producer. Not just her but every well endowed girl. Your sister could be talked into being milked for a cam show. Your mom could be dragged in by Diane as a new threesome option. Odette/the principal/the nun? especially the nun, imagine tying her to a milk station and breeding her.....

The core mechanic that hasn't been touched on at all is Diane's milk business. Its the key to solving all the money related troubles for everyone's storyline in the entire town. How do you get Your mother out of debt and save the house from being taken by the bank? increase the milk business. How do you get enough money to make your gold digging sister fall in love with you and buy the beach house to impress her and all the other girls? milk business. How do you defeat the Russian gangsters and unseat mayor Rump and take over the whole town? become a milk tycoon and use the Pizza store owners Italian mob connections to bring their mafia into the town to protect the milk business and several other business in exchange for a % of the revenue. You could save and take control of every business in the entire town from the stores in the mall to the tattoo parlor and the pizza shop. Then you unlock the achievement "Breastmilk Tycoon"

I can only dream.......

Your breastmilk expansion got me thinking that the nun's product could be used as holy breastmilk. Instead of holy water, it's marketed as holy breastmilk for exorcisms. 10x more blessed by god, it's super effective.

There will finally be some content from Judith.

What I'm most looking forward to tbh.

IMO she's the most interesting unexplored route left. She is crushing on the MC hard. Even before the bathroom handjob, she's admitted to openly fantasizing and wanting his dick. If I remember right, she masturbates almost nightly to the MC. The recent wallpaper of her on her bed makes me strongly suspect she will favor cowgirl. I'm expecting the MC beds her relatively quick and her route will be about self confidence, with her growing more assertive during sex. (Think about the sex scenes in The Lover (1992) where the girl starts timid and unsure with missionary, but embraces her sexual awakening and ends with initiating passionate cowgirl at the end.)

I'm thinking it'll be the opposite of Mia. The childhood friend/crush romance, but without all the ultra religious baggage Mia has. Plus chubby nerd girls make me fucking diamonds. Especially when they are horny and go for it.

Edit: image for those requesting it.

Edit 2: I didn't even notice the cow picture in the background till now lol. Makes me curious if they will do lactation fetish stuff if you get her pregnant. DC kinda has a thing for it after the Diane route.

Definitely looks like she's getting slimmed down a bit here.

 

[atomicp]

In the end, everything just circles back to DC's milk fetish lol

I unironically love this and want to see it happen. Sadly it'll probably take years and years if ever.

As far as I recall (it's been a while), there aren't really any plans to expand this whole milking thing beyond Veronica and even that is going to take so much time. At least I'd be surprised if we'd see anybody but Diane, Daisy and Veronica - then again, who knows...

Edit:
Ultimately it's one of the big downsides of DC's approach. The game featues so many different topics/fetishes, but almost none will get as much attention, as those players, who are really into it, would like to get. Be it pregnacy content, trans content or milking at the moment. And I'm sure the same will be true for future BDSM content, harem stuff, etc., too.

That's a problem most western porn games suffer from.

So one year with no update?
Is one being released? Or is this heading towards the abandoned?
