Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5091] [Kompas Productions]

[MurkyTurtle]

Hey all i had a quick question, its been awhile since I've played summertime saga (i used to play every update when it first came out but i stopped when my computer died in early 2018) and I've read that updates are coming a lot slower than before so my question is, Is there more content packed into each update nowadays or has it simply slowed down?

There is considerably more content in each release with considerably more variation. Releases have also slowed down somewhat because the game is getting a major overhaul under the hood both in terms of code and art, which should help with performance issues and overall game size and eventually allow for savegames to transfer over.

DC is smart, Last year it was 3 updates ? it will be 2 updates this year and 1 update next year.

I think EA releases updates faster.

Of course they do, they have drastically more people working on a singular project than this does.

How many time do i have to wait for the next update, another half year?

i've been thinking about that harem feature again that's planned for the beach house you can buy. would you guys like it if each of the main girl gets to have a small story and h-scene with another girl that culminates in a threesome with the MC at the beach house? for example i would love to see mia and eve or ronda and mia have a scene together. sure you'd have to explain why they would want to fuck suddenly so each combination needs a little story to explain everything, but i think it would be really cool endgame content to have something like that in the game.

as for viable combination as i said i would love eve and mia, rhonda and judith and jenny and roxxy get paired together.

My way to explain it? They like MC, so they put up with the rest. Then when they try it, they can't let go. Grudges fade, and people bond. : P

I really love Summertime Saga, It's probably my favorite 2D adult game. My only criticism is regarding the font size. It's too small

Both photos has the same dimensions (520x315):

I can read both very well, but the larger font in Fire Emblem makes the reading more enjoyable. It's more eye-catching

Personally, I prefer Summertime Saga's font size. I feel it gives more room to enjoy the art : )

You guys can't stop whining about how slow the Devs are to release every update and you can't just enjoy what they did so far.
Ya know it's not easy to update a game with new stuff everytime,there's so much stuff to do...from drawing,to posing,writing and the thing that takes a lot time is the coding...I completely understand,you love this game as much as I do and you want new stuff every week or month but it's not going to happen and honestly It's worth it to wait such time because the updates they add are pretty amazing

That's the exact definition of updating. Are you trying to say that updating a game is hard 'cause it needs updating?

 

[PayneToTheMax]

Of course they do, they have drastically more people working on a singular project than this does.

And yet their games are mediocre shit riddled with microtransactions

EDIT:

It's probably more likely that they put up with each other to try and win over MC and the girl you take to the prom at the end will be 'the one'.

So... can I ask you if you just read only that or you read everything I said because It seems you read only that part of comment.
I said that It's not easy to put new updates with new girls(or even redesigned girls),new scenes,new poses, new dialogues and other stuff so it takes a lot of time doing it because DC and his team are working with art,poses,writing and especially coding and believe me there are some devs who are slower with releasing updates like Beggar of Net and Four Elements Trainer

So essentialy updating is hard 'cause you need to update with new scenes, new poses, new dialogues and other stuff. I honestly can't believe it.
And by the way, 4ET don't take 4-5 months to get an update. Obviously the two games are quite different and there is some difference even in the quality of the art (SS is artistically better), but...why are you making (false) comparison?
I don't like people who assault DC for basically everything (even though is a fact that he takes quite a lot of time to release an update), but I don't like people who defend him "no matter what" neither.

 

[j4yj4m]

The whole discussion about the update frequency is kind of fruitless anyway, as long as one doesn't consider the amount and quality of the content that's included within each update. In the past we had about twice the number of updates per year but compared to what we are getting now they were really rather poor.

Next to that one should indeed add that, due to the way SS is structured and because save games don't work right now, it's probably indeed better to have fewer but larger updates. The game isn't linear and there's a lot of character interaction which could affect other stories, thus they have to bug test large parts of the game again and again each update to make sure that everything works and that there are not locks etc. which influence old content. So it's probably indeed not the worst idea to only go through that process 3 or 4 times a year instead of 6 or 7 times.

Tl;dr: It's really hard to compare different games while staying somewhat objective.

You can sure talk a lot but I really wanna see if you can work better than him and his devs or you just can talk a buch of stuff withouth knowing what they actually have to do just to make 1 new scene.
BoN needed 1 to 2 months(sometimes 3)to add a new update and every update came with a lot of bugs who make the game unplayable until he released the final bug fix version,so not only the new scenes,poses and stuff needs to be done but he needs to search(or maybe his devs do that,I dunno)for every game breaking bug in the game and fix it.
I didn't assault him at all maybe I was unclear or maybe you sir didn't understand,it's either one of them but I'm obviously defending him because I know,even though I'm not a dev,it's hard to make new stuff and I know for a fact that he and his devs are working their asses off to bring awesome stuff everytime for us,like he did with Roxxy and especially the threesome between Debbie and Diane.

 

[ImagineWagons]

The last "real" updates was like 6 month ago ... 300k per update and nobody gives a shit xD

Why you so pissed off? Even though its 300k per update, the main thing, that is the game, is still free. And you have to remember, the artwork in this game is phenomenal, so it may need a bit of time before something of significance gets into the update.

The threesome b/w Debbie and Diane was an absolute banger!

Oh boy, here we go again. I'll tell you straight away: I totally can't work better than him and/or his devs. Mostly 'cause I'm not an artist or a coder. Still, I can have my opinion on his work, 'cause...well, I can. Everybody can.
I don't know what BoN is, so I'll pass on it, but I'll have my doubts since you lied with 4ET.
Oh, and if (quoting): "I know for a fact that he and his devs are working their asses off", I'll gladly like to know where this fact is.
Nah, I don't even wanna know, 'cause this is (as usual) pointless. People will criticize DC and people will criticize who criticize and so on.
Have fun.

That's optional aside from Diane.

We can tell by comparison that ss updates take to long.
The Amount of Content you get would be ready in 1 month，max 2 months.
But 4 or more Months is ridiculous.
Now the bootlickers will defend him again with crap like “But it is handdrawn”
Let`s debunk that argument...
Look at Gunsmokegames he drops SU Updates every 2 Months and you get enough scenes for that period of time.
SU is handdrawn either only one person works on Su not 5 or more like in ss and he earns 11k not like Dc 50k.
So be honest and agree that SS updates are taking way to long.

you didn't debunk shit. you just can't compare two completly different games just by the amount of updates that get released in a year just because they are both hand drawn in some way. how many different background art does SU have? how many animations? how many mini games? how complex are the scenes and the posing? yes both games are hand darawn in a way but how much are the art assets getting reused? seriously i can't believe just made such a low iq comparsion. "hurr durrrrrr both games are hand drawn so they must be completly the same." lmao

Something Unlimited is handdrawn either. Gunsmokegames drops SU Updates every 2 Months and you get enough scenes for that period of time. only one person works on Su not 5 or more like in ss and he earns 11k not like Dc 50k.
So be honest and agree that SS updates are taking way to long.

I got a question, why do you keep coming back on this thread eventhough you keep saying how dc is taking way too much time to release the updates and that there are games that are better and deliver faster?
I truely don't understand your purpose

SU is also a way shittier game, aside from the art it got nothing going for itself and I might as well just download the CG set for a quick fap. And Sunset also went back and decided to not do animations again because they were to much work.
