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

[Mark Macabre]

So i'll be real blunt.
The game is good, interesting story not too complicated, yet still entertaining and a bit mysterious.
Easy to navigate and a fair amount of content, with a few frames of animation (Emphasis on few frames, you can fucking count them.) All in all, as a game, it isn't bad. I'd even say it's well made.

BUTT!!! (Hehe...butt...)
Fuck me raw and call me stephanie, this has become a milking farm.
Although the game is decent, it is far from a recommendation, purely because of the dev being a farm boy, milking the sweet, sweet teat of patreon, instead of planning a second venture for the future.
Leading to extreme wait times for any update that isn't on par with ''Widescreen'' BS (We're talking years)
Lack of creative implementations or ideas.
A sour(ing) community.

What'll happen?
Either the game will be finished in 5 years or something, or people will stop supporting the patreon, leading to the game being abandoned. I can not for the life of me see any other way for this game to go.

I've paid nothing. Getting value for money.

I won't fuck you raw but I can call you Stephanie eheh
Jokes aside I completly agree with you, this developer just doesn't deserve time, money or attention. There are so many developers that are more trustworthy, do a BETTER job, DO a better job, experiment, give regular updates...etc. They deserve to be supported much much more, considering also the quality of other games is much higher than this.

I remember when I checked the patreon a year or so ago and it said he was making like +70k a month before he hid his income. It's crazy how much he's milking this game and how people keep enabling.

It's not that surprising, given the poor taste everyone on this platform has
Since this game had somehow against all odds made it big, anyone would've milked their naive fans

 

[dad.]

When a company is behaving outta pocket or scamming people, you're able to at the very least report to the Better Business Bureau.

Or put them on blast with the help of some news outlet so that people are aware of it and it tends to force that dirty company to change and get their shit together or stop.

I wish adult games, or however you chose to categorize this, had a Better Business Bureau you could submit official complaints to and hold them accountable.

Does anyone have the file for backgrounds/location_school_locker_mc_day_patched.jpg as the game has an error during the locker scene in the beginning?

Help for quest Contest Eve e Kevin. Where i found the fake guitar?

 

[Rodjrgr]

i got the naughty and the fashion magazines, where can i find others?

 

[botka4aet]

Is their way to get the mods of hair or naughty on this update? Anyone have any info on this?

it's still renpy so you can update mod by yourself

 

[LogID]

I loved this game so much that I created mods for it in 2019. They stopped working with the following update and I'm still holding off on updating them because I don't know wtf the dev is doing. There's also been hardly any new content in that time.

 

[Zohmbie]

Shit so ass it brought tears to my eyes thinking about what the actual update could've been

 

[botka4aet]

What have I missed? How many people are talking negatively about the update being on time and including the promised content?

> As well as moving over existing content, we will also be slipping in some new additions for players to enjoy each update.

• Added a new event for Debbie in the kitchen at the end of her route.
• Introduced a second Jenny cunni animation (for submissive Anon).

Surely, it's realy PROMISED content

 

[firsttry51]

"dev is slow"
"dev is milking"

 

[juice2000]

How much content has been switched over? is it missing alot?

 

[Teslaplane8]

still no full update wait for another year

What kind of mods may I ask?

 

[Count Morado]

How much content has been switched over? is it missing alot?

99 lewd scenes are in the cookie jar of v21.0.0-wip.5003

 

[fakyort]

just tell me pls,tech update is new content or..what is tech update?

Not new content. They switched to a new "game engine" to make the game more stable. Scenes from the old game are being polished and integrated into the new game. There are also new locations on the map. Over time, I hope we will see the shapeshifted versions of the content we know

 

[lexisjohnny]

i got the naughty and the fashion magazines, where can i find others?

Hey bud. Can I get an f95 sauce on the images in your sig? Cuz godamn.

 

[sometowell]

They are still using Renpy, what new engine are they talking about?
