Completely forgot this had minigames. They were also pretty bad if i recall. Might not have been a huge loss if those got cut out to be honest. Looking back I remember skipping all of them.It's more complicated than that. Yes Ren'py is designed to work with visual novels and such, but ultimately it's a Python based software that is simply tied together to make things easier for that purpose. You still have to code in all of the quests triggers (Where, when, how the quest is triggered), what kind of variable are used, where and when characters start to speak, what poses are used, super-impositions, etc...
Then you have a bunch of things like mini-games, quest trackers/UI elements, inventories, etc...
The ex-coder Dogeek was known for basically being a douche and wrote overly complex and poorly optimized code, with poor naming conventions and a lack of comments on said coding. Which is a massively unprofessional and inefficient.
Say i present you a wall with a bunch of light switches. A good coder will properly and clearly label each switch and their purposes, and will be neatly arranged on the wall (This one turns on and off the lights in the kitchen. This one activate the oven. The other one activate the automated turrets, etc...) Most, if not all the switches should work as intended. If one doesn't work, fixing it should be fairly straightforward
From what people have told, Dogeek didn't bother naming any of the switches, are all bundled up in a rat nest on the floor and you have to figure out which does which by error and trial, and cross fingers you don't accidentally burn up the whole place. Since nothing is explained, you don't know that the original coder made one switch work by tying two specific wires together, etc...
Now imagine that the quantity of switches is in the thousands (tens of thousands even).
Yeah, remaking the entire game is what should have been done. Although personally i would have just bitten the bullet, made a final update to it and move on to a new project entirely.Completely forgot this had minigames. They were also pretty bad if i recall.

To be honest as you describe it it might have been better to just extract the dialogue, simplify the structure a bit and code the options while choosing the appropriate images from scratch instead of trying to recreate it as is.
You could go through the trouble of modding the game to avoid trap content or you could just select no when Eve asks if you like dudes.Yes, yes. Abandodned tag is finally here, well deserved. DC even got cold feet and is gonna release tech update now in parts (nothing motivates like idea of reduced income). But there is more news coming!

Summertime Saga receiving abandoned label is a great opportunity to share with you this little mod. Many asked for a long time and here it is: Trap-free version of the game. This mod basically removes all shemale content from Summertime Saga and restores it to its original state, so no more trap Eve!

2 years since the last update, even longer for new content or main story progression.Somebody Can Tell Me that why this game is Abandoned?
Thanks for your kind words.
The worst thing is they'll say they have addressed over and over. The problem is it was never in a way that 90%+ of the player base would ever see how many times they talked about every set back to use your house analogy a poser might mention "We found a ton of water damage and are going to have to rip up the whole floor." the problem is it'd be posted in Discord at 4AM EST and quickly buried or DC would mention something on stream and unless you were there for the 30 seconds he talked about the rat chewed pipes you'd never know they were going to be tearing out the plumbing. So unless you stalked the dev team and subjected yourself to the mild torture that can be a DC stream almost every day you'd be just as blind as someone who just found the game first time last week. Its what got me to start leaking shit a partial picture is better than none at all.They went with number 2. Which is okay on it's own. The problem was that they never addressed the state of the issues they had, never explained the scale of it and just went along the ride. Which is why after almost 3 years, we never got a meaningful update.
Do you actually go anywhere but this site if you actually believe that, people complain about those things constantly. Also get your lips off the devs ass that you need to deflect warranted criticism.Imagine if F95 posters focused their autism towards actual scammers, like banks, insurance companies, or the pharmaceutical industry. They could change the world...
People say the exact same shit about 4chan. Turns out most people happen to put extra effort into things they like. Shocker.Imagine if F95 posters focused their autism towards actual scammers, like banks, insurance companies, or the pharmaceutical industry. They could change the world...
