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

[Darkku]

Is the save compatible or you still need to make a new game again?

its compatible with a save from 0.20.5

Not trying to be one of those jealous devs, but it must be nice to pull in around 63000 per month for doing practically nothing each update. With that kind of money, he could easily hire staff for art and code, and still be sitting pretty with more content flowing each update. He's basically sitting in a chair laughing at Patreons while he draws out the game for as long as possible for more payments by limiting his releases. That's honestly pretty cheap, not at all surprising, though.



They are paying, though. Whether you want to call it that or not is up to the individual, but they're supporting under the premise that they'll see actual work being put into what they're supporting. Kinda like how people hate to pay taxes, but realize that it gives them nice things (and medicaid for most of America). If they wanted to donate, they could just buy him a coffee or send something through devs Paypal. There should be clear signs of effort being put in and there just isn't, especially when you factor in that he's literally making almost $800,000 per year.

Yeah, I think it is some major bs DarkCookies or Kompas Productions whatever they are called is making $69,000 a month. They used to put out monthly up days when they were growing. Now it a few months between updates and the content of those updates is hardly anything new. It has been like that for a while now. The goal state that at $3,000 more content. $6,000 Full Time. $10,000 Music and Coding Help. 15,000 Extra Help Lvl 1. $20,000 Extra Help Lvl 2. 25,000 Extra Help Lvl 3. Now making double that they have 7 man team.
Current team members: DarkCookie - Art, Story & Design, strayerror - Code, Catbug - TA & Posing, CaptainSploosh - Dialogue & Writing, AoiichiNiiSan - Music & SFX, Sam9 - Server side & Website, CreamyCookie - HR & Cookie Baker
That is almost $10,000 each month for each member if they split the money equally. Yet they are putting out less content than was being released everyone month back when they were making $15,000 altogether. So yeah it must be nice to get that kind of money to do practically nothing. I have seen devs making way less per month. Putting out more and better quality content.

But don't forget about what patreon takes from the amount they get plus the taxes they have to pay at some point.
And I am not saying I don't agree with you that they make a lot of money but still there are expenses they have to pay which we know nothing about+taxes + patreon cut.
Also they are still human beings and they need to relax every once in a while.
Edit 2: If you don't like it then don't support them. If you do support them and don't like what they do then comes the question: why do you support them?

U must lookout what u write. I posta 2 time same post about how many they earn in year and both post was deleted!
Let's face it, this is a huge amount of money for such a production and very rare updates.

Most of the bulk in size usually in games is in the assets used like graphics ,audio and other non code related resources. Usually game code only takes up to probably 10% or less of the whole game size.

This is no masterpiece of coding. This game is made by using the Renpy game engine which uses the scripted Python Language. While the Python language is known for its ease of use its not known for efficiency. The actual game code size for this may be no larger than 1 MB or at least below 100 MB including all the audio, video libraries used. Those sizes could be made smaller if it was done in assembly at least and stripped off those unneeded extra libraries that came with the Renpy game engine.

Dude I know that, I usually play loud music, and get drunk on fridays. Besides that, I know how ren'py engine works, I was even thinking of doing one with my ex-wife since I have over 15000(2001- 2010) images of her, lol.... Still drunk... Anyway I played games where the library of the actual game was larger than the assets, I even have a comment on Braindrop thread saying that renders mean not so much as the story. I like reading, neway Donopatay rest asured it's all good and enjoy the ride. Luv ya!

Well, first of all, this game is actually free. He makes people, who are not a patreon, wait 1 more day when he releases the game even though this site just provides it the moment the patreon version comes out. Plus, every art in this game are photoshop drawn by darkcookie himself. He goes back to his old arts and redraws them for better quality when he releases a new update. Each release finishes a big chunk of a certain character's storyline. I know, I also want to see more scenes for certain characters, but I can still understand to a certain degree. DC is a perfectionist, he wants his game to have a perfect storyline which you can see from the remake of Diane, Debbie and Jenny updates. You are saying that he used to release a monthly release, but those monthly releases had not too much to offer. Also, as the game progresses, the complexity of the coding increases.
By the way, you should not compare DC to other creators since he was one of the people that started incest type of games. After him, I saw a lot of devs popping up, and releasing a game with similar content with bad dialogue and storyline. It is like saying "Hey, I made this game with no storyline, and I want you to pay for it."
If you are not satisfied with what you get, you should not pay for it. If you are not paying for it, then you should not bad mouth for the product you get for free. People who are actual fan, and can afford to pay, they choose to pay for it.

create an account that increases your download limit amount install the windows app that increases your download limit amount install the android app and you will have a 100gig download limit amount with all of that you do not have to keep the apps installed to keep the 100gig download limit but I would keep the windows app so you will not have to keep the browser tab open

I already have the windows app and the android while using the same acc for all of them but my limit is still 5gb and for games like lily of the valley it isn't enough because they already pass it.

 

[Rex72]

For clarification, varifocal lenses has a focus that varies across the lens seamlessly, glases with two focal lengts are BIfocals please fix that in next update.

 

[Squark ⚧❤️]

StantheMan69, are you forgetting to factor in Patreon's cut and a little thing called Taxable Income?

Paranormal erection, in that case focus on compressed versions whenever possible.

 

[Rubbishcoder]

Someone pop the new character in a spoiler and say whether its worth downloading please.

I use a vpn to get around this. If you're downloading something big you may have to change the location a few times.

20.7 isn't on the tracker.
20.8 (which is being worked on) is last part of main story
20.9 is Rhonda

20.8 (which is being worked on) is last part of main story
So we either take care of the gangsters or Dexter in a do or die final showdown.
Or finally Debbie gets pregnant.

20.9 is Rhonda
What's Rhonda got to do with anything, we barely see her.
Is she finally doing the training or something or does Anon get her pregnant?
Are we finally going to get a grade for gym which Rhonda and the Coach are involved?
