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

[Omnikuken]

^ Every prior save has that warning. It's there so lamers can't come around and whine they lost their save. You've been warned and accepted the risk, deal with yourself now. Just like debug menu tells you it will screw up your game epicly, you even have to type you understand the risks. Guess what happens ? Noodles use it, fuck themselves up and then wonder why the game doesn't even start

And since about 0.19.5, just click through the save warning, let it do its stuff (even if it tells you whatever bad will happen) and just play as normal. Unless you went overboard with mods or debug menu or just saved at random (another thing said time and time again), everything should work fine

Summertime saga used to be something I looked forward to every time an update came up. However starting all over again and again is cumbersome just to get new content in the game. I still don't see why he can't make the game use old saves its been years of development and you think that be one of the basic things of any game to have. I mean this is key to make someone feel like they are making progress in the game.

The story is also very lackluster and barely seen any sort of development because the dev wants to do some short story line here and there. The teacher and roxy update were great however after that it felt like updates contain nothing. My only wish for this game is to get a decent story and ending after so long.

This is just my opinion and view of the game from playing for years. People can spend their money however they want but everyone can still critic the game.

It's more a problem with how Renpy hates itself when you go tinker back and forth in the code (and since every update or so remakes the start of the game, the code can't roll itself back with stuff that get changed before your save happens in the timeline). As long as they re-do most of the beginning every build, we'll have to either pray to RNGesus our older save just resets 1-2 routes or start a new game. Or not and just come in here to cry about how skipping the 1st week by holding CTRL for about 5 mins and then getting to the new stuff is literally the worst torture known to mankind. After 4-5 months of waiting, such horror

anyone know how to get the scene with diane of her on the milking machine like the one in the game preview?

It's not in the game anymore. Find a pre-0.18 ish build and see it there. Don't even try to cross-build save. Or if you do, don't come asking why your PC just melted itself

Event though 0.20.7 is just bug fixes, all of you mother huggers should download it and update your saves just to be sure they will be compatible with the next update. I really don't want to see a bunch pages of people just complaining that they can't use saves from the previous version when dc releases the new update.

Is that normal that the mainmap character icon disappear? It worked in v20.5

Judith still has like no content after all this time?

Judith was voted for 0.23...

Well it's not a duck...
Others here got slammed on for complains while not paying and I can understand such argument, but it doesn't prevent one for having an opinion.
Being honest can inspire a dev to improve, licking ass and say everything is dandy won't.

As far as I know, DarkCookie isn't active on F95. I don't think he'll see it. All these complaints, I mean opinions are only seen by other F95 users.

Funny, Eve's story was what endeared me to the game.

Are you a patron? If not, what's he milking you of? What's your stake in this discussion?

Here we are again.

I'm just a guy who used to love this a game a lot.

I used to follow his Picarto streaming. Everytime.

The story was funny, the dialogues were witty and humorous, the characters had character. Most of all, DC himself wrote the story.

Then, everything changed.

I think it was around the Roxxy's update that the game made a radical change of direction. A complete turnabout.

He started to remake everything in order to please as many people as possible. It became a blank slate where DC put anything that pleases his patrons and his Picarto streamers. I realized it when during a streaming he created out of the blue that shitty Kim character. He didn't have anything to do with anything.

p.s.: I guess you don't know who Tuuku and Pilly are. They are his Picarto followers: he created, taylor-made and named those characters for them and according to them. This is what SS became: everybody's whore.

He was. He used to post a few times. Some members of his team did it too.

You got to be kidding me, I have a fresh new game and now even that saved game won't work.

 

[rockety]

I know it is pretty useless to post it here. It would have been made more sense to use 20.5.x instead of 20.6 or 20.7 for smaller updates like halloween or just bugfixes.

But hey, everyone knew the next "big" update would 20.8, not 20.6. So I do not know why it is even worth to complain. DC will not change anything. Full updates will need 3-4 months and we can live with it or not.

Best way to play this game and most other crowdfunding projects is to put the game 1 or better 2 years away. To play it again after 6-8 full number upates is much more satisfying instead of getting with every update angry.

Noooo, no NTR. Do you see how much time it takes for DC to release an update. And you suggest him to add NTR content even though many people don't like NTR. It would waste his time. Let DC make a game that satisfies everyone and does not upset others.
Well actually he already upset many people with his long update schedule and releases that has unsatisfactory amount of h-scenes.

I'm still mad at his Eve redesign. She looked real before; now I can't help thinking she looks like a kitten.

I think you aren't aware that the whole character thing started way before Tuuku and Pilly and has essentially been part of the game since the start. Cedric in the gym is one of his early picarto users, as are Mr. Bubbles, Cpt. Terry or Micoe. Just because you became aware of it around Roxxy's update, doesn't mean that it started back then.

Does the patch for V 0.20.5 work for the current version of the game?

 

[V&M]

Isnt this game almost entirely driven by Patron polls? They decide what content is focused on in the future and then DC literally like some Jukebox has to come up with said content focus based on the results (so unlike most games he cant map out in his head a year in advance regarding content added or story he wants to take place as votes might go elsewhere). Its a very fan friendly approach (at least to ones not just stealing said content cost free haha) so yeah i wouldnt take it personal if any particular fave character of yours still feels kinda left out compared to others. Thats democracy for you my friend. Its also why updates take so long - kinda hard to get ahead of a curve when you dont know what direction said curve is going as your not the one steering the ship.

This is one of the reasons that I stopped supporting games of this type, where the client dictates the direction of the game,
everyone, without exception, turned into crap (in my opinion of course), meaningless, aimless, and with tastes totally different from mine.
And I think it would be a good idea for the developer to provide a complete save game for each updated version,
for those like me, if you are not interested in the update, can get the save to play the next or the later.
I asked for three times here yesterday, and nobody cooperated,
such a simple thing, but no one answered.
I'm still in this game just for Judith and the MC's mom,
the rest don't interest me.

In the end the patrons decide nothing of relevance. They get to vote in the polls DC gives them, which sometimes have as little as two or three options and they have zero actual influence on the detailed content of a given update and the direction of the game. Sure, DC creates the impression that his polls would actually matter, but all they decide is the order in which the content gets introduced. I mean, it doesn't matter whether DC decides himself if he works on Ronda, Annie or Judith first or whether his patrons do that for him.

Does anyone have a file to unlock Gallery?
And for some reasons, after editing 00console.rpy the Console still does NOT appear.

No idea, guess we just have to suck it and see, as the saying goes.

EDIT: Well I tried it with a new game and it seems to work so far. Don't know if there might be compatability issues further down the line, but at least so far I'm in line to pork my mother, sister and aunt (again).

"You can't complain if you are not a patron"

The hell we can't. Even lowering the rate HERE, or state that the latest releases are slowly turning a very good game into a sad mockery of what it used to be.

 

[Mikecz23]

it is not possible to interact with the hatch in the cemetery. And yes, Eva's story has been completed, and I received an invitation to the cemetery

 

[andreadbl]

Damn, this update was such a tease, man. So many "hints" of a possible (st)eve-Odette-mc threesome. Also left some mystery on the whole Odette story
