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

["Download"]

You know, I dont even have to play the game anymore. I can just step into this thread every so often and observe the unending angst and ongoing 'so much money a month and THIS is all we get!' rants to satisfy my need to watch others cry bloody tears.

This game has been around for 8 years, and they're reworking the whole engine instead of finishing it.

 

[Xupuzulla]

so 3+ years and no substantial changes at all

Darkcookie is two millions dollars richer.

Make content for a very long time. Start everything over again. Issue content that has been ready for a long time at a time.
For what?

If i had to guess, bug testing
If we had to wait for them to bug test all the stuff they been implementing all this time we would have to wait another 2 years.

They release the content in waves to patreons to playtest and when its bug free they release it to the free crowd.

 

[NovelPai]

I really think this guy should have waited until he had something resembling a game to release. 3 minutes of content is more annoying than nothing to be honest.

sometimes people wanna see if they're stuff could fly at all before investing more work. I guess that's fair

 

[exsomon]

tech upgrade was unnecessary, this is a hand drawn game not 3d render

If their stuff could fly at all? The fuck?
This isn't a secret build for a new project, it's been around for 8 years, just with more content and slightly longer loading times. The tech update is supposedly over 2 years in the making so it would be a tad late for any trial balloons.

edit:
Just realized you quoted a post from 2016. Not sure why but I guess you can disregard my reply then.

I wouldn't be surprised if he actually worked on this but spent a lot of time doing some dumb shit he'll never use, he used to do that A LOT, a few years ago when I was one of his stream moderators after he made the strip poker mini-game and scene with Tammy he spent months doing some assets for a more fleshed out strip poker mini-game featuring all the girls (and Erik, as a third wheel I guess), there's no trace of those assets in the last full update archives or in the tech demo archives aside from Mia's underwear.

Always thought that was supposed to be part of the dating minigame(presumably being inserted with the rest of the system...by the present timetable in around a decade)?

 

[Davner]

Do people not know what tech build is for? The way they used to do things is outdated and now is the time for them to get it working properly. They had to rebuild the code from the ground up. It is all about optimization so when new updates come out it goes smoother.

Man, that Strip Poker mini-game was kind of an interesting concept, just really far too shallow/quick...

made an account just to say wtf lol, that really cant be it

I'm starting to think that's the only reason! One becomes a member here only to have a better point of view in order to say and really mean "WTF dude!". Highly qualified critic, IMO

2 years to rebuild the code on Ren'Py? The engine that already has 90% of the code done for them?

 

[mattius77]

As time has gone on I have come to appreciate the 'rebuild the code' line as the troll job it is. At first I thought it was the sincere self-criticism of an amateur developer who was in over their head when he created something that became way more popular and in-demand than anticipated. Now he's just plainly having a laugh. And I'm here for it.

 

[Johnny90H30]

Jokes are meant to be funny, Hopefully they fly straight into the trash can

Yeah man, you tell'em, as "their" is "no one" forcing you to read, let alone to understand and have a laugh.

Tell me you don't know how making a game works without telling me you don't know how it works

 

[Harukana93600]

i dont see any change in graphism ect lol just lost time for nothing

 

[wow2]

Why does the game have no sound?

 

[wow2]

The sound is active until the end, but no sound, no music, no effect is played?

Something me and the Summertime devs have in common then.

Better than your game. Oh wait.
