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

[PTdesu]

Please tell me how waiting for 4-6 months to get an update with a shit ton of build up and exposition with a bare minimum of actual sex scenes, while adding new characters when older characters haven't even gotten their 1st update yet, can not be considered milking?

The game is going at a snail's pace, and that would be okay if he just added some more sex scenes in every update and held off introducing new characters. I honestly don't care for the "milking" stuff either but there is valid criticism to be had, and calling people whiners or cry babies makes you just as bad as those who say milker this, scammer that.

I honestly don't care about the direction this game has been going for a while now, but I can't help but reply when I see comments like this white knighting for DC.

I'm not white knighting anyone, it's just my opinion on the "milking" posts
There is literally no point in coming into a thread of a game and complain about it, the people that are supporting him will keep supporting and the vast majority of people here enjoy and game and i'm pretty sure they would be thrilled if these posts were just gone, it's sort of a running joke now to be honest and people just make fun of them.

As for the waiting I don't really care.
I'm getting the game for free and my job and other games keep me busy long enough.

Considering the tracker is at 50% and the lewd batch is about a month away at best, enjoy breaking your F5 key for basically nothing

Is it still necessary to start the game from the beginning with each update?

Nope, and hasn't been since the last 3+ years (around 0.17 or 0.18)

Thanks, I played it a long time ago, but I got bored with having to start from the beginning and now that I want to play again it is good to know that it is no longer necessary.

Can someone suggest me games like summertime saga. With almost as same storyline as this. Similar art style too. Where the story is around the family and neighbours and all

You can try the Summoner School Academia by Cascadia Games.

Dude, is not only abandoned, but is also a plagiarism. The dude behind the game, stole the art of this game -_-
Stop recommending that kind of bullshit.

Yeah I get it, the posts are pretty senseless and annoying. I also don't really care about the waiting or were the game is going, it's free and if there's an update I'll see what it's about.

 

[itsyeboii]

And what makes you think you convinced anybody? Or that anybody cares?

I'm just giving my opinion on something, what made you reply like that?

There's a couple threads of people asking exactly what you're asking, you can find them easily with the search tool or even googling it. For me, A Town Uncovered could be the closest one in regards to the general mechanics, the pace of the game itself and sadly, for the pace of the developement of the game...Tons of people used to compared them for their evident similarities and small dosis of fantasy. Drop is the art, Summertime beats this game in that regard, althoug it has its own...taste, let's say.

Not so close, but with beautiful art that I totally recommend you if you enjoyed Summertime Saga is What a Legend; mechanics and storyline are not as related as it's with A Town Uncovered, but somehow I see some similarities between both of them. This one is deep in fantasy, so it has to be your cup of tea.

Hope you find it useful mate and if I remember more games I'll update this post.

Well, he's specifically asking for similar artstyle.

I mean, it's not like these things aren't known. I get that there are many who don't like DC's way of creating content and who would like to have a game that's focussed on a few characters with lots of sex scenes. BUT he's been doing it this way for more than 3 years and it's really fair to assume that those who actually give money to him voluntarily are kinda ok with the way things are going.

I mean, old characters like Debbie etc. simply lost their content polls and his patrons voted to work on the teach update instead of Ronda. So it's fine to disagree with the way the game is developed, but that really doesn't mean that it's milking. He's releasing the content he says he will. Sure, maybe often a bit slower than some would like, but in return the game is free and nobody has to pay a cent.

It's not like with other games where people may pledge to get early access and then have to pledge another and another month, because the release is delayed. These things simply can't happen here...

I'm just not sure what you really want from DC? Complaints like these basically read like "how dare you to develop the game you want and not the one I want?!" Sure, that's how everybody thinks secretly, but I'm not sure what these criticisms are supposed to change...

Mods are getting lazy lately. Last time I answered somebody about recommendations of games like Summertime Sage, the whole discussion was deleted after half an hour. Such discussion is not wanted here. Don't ask me why.

What makes me respond like that, you ask? Well, maybe the simple fact that this opinion has been given about ten thousand times in this thread already, and the observation that except the complainers nobody cares and nothing changed. Just a thought.

I never made a point about there being too much characters, I like having a diverse amount of characters and scenarios play out. What I don't like is that he drip feeds actual H-scenes and keeps adding new characters to also drip feed scenes from. Like I said, the game is as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle. I'm not gonna put my tinfoil hat on and jump to the conclusion that he does this on purpose and that this is purely a monetary scheme, but honestly it would make sense right?

And I don't want anything from DC, like I said I don't care about waiting or where the game is going anymore since I pretty much gave up on it after that fucking Diane "update". You also seem to misinterpret a lot of what I said but that's cool because I'm kinda tired of this debate already and I just can't be arsed to analyze your whole reply properly.

Don't want to come off as an asshole though, no hard feelings or anything

Mods ? Lazy ? Get real, they barely do anything worthwhile (like clearing the milkers), they prefer deleting people asking for similar games but let the 4901577456th question why Debbie isn't preg yet or why we still have nothing more than the bathroom stand for Judith around

I have yet to see anyone but me share my take on this. Just because it's negative doesn't mean it's exactly the same as all the others. And why do you write off "complainers" as nobodies? It sounds like you want this thread to be a circlejerk fan club for DC where no other opinions and discussions can be had. Mental.

I don't want to bang on about this, but how is there even a reasonable connection? Just because you want and expect depth, doesn't mean that everybody sees it that way. It's been clear from the start that girls will get their content when they win their poll and I don't see any reason, why anybody who only wants to see let's say Judith would give DC money until that happens. Sure, the game is very light on H scenes but that has been the case from day one and it's a problem with every other 2D game, especially once we are talking about real animations and not just a few static frames.

Sure, it's fine to talk about a few girls give or take here and there, but in essence the game is becoming excatly what DC promised it would be. Just read a few years back and see how many people complained that the game had no (main) story and claimed that it would never get one. Sure, DC could have ignored those and those who wanted the widescreeen to play on mobile and we'd have Ronda, Annie and Judith by now, but in the end there'll always be some who aren't happy right away. I just want to point out that all of these things were/are legitimate demands and not some some stuff really nobody wants. Unlike some other games the game really improved massively during these last years.
