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

[j4yj4m]

Debbie ist going to get a full rework just like Diane and Jenny, which will include new art, new animations and pregnancy. That has been DC's position from the start. The big problem in her case ist simply, that she already has a ton of content and as such it'll take ages to produce the update, yet but there won't be that much "new" content.

I was wondering what kind of redo the person was wanting. Some mean they want updated art, some mean they want her to have more action in the story, some want her pregnancy path included, some want the incest story line to be returned.

Because he was very vague - I was asking what he meant and that it wasn't going to happen anytime soon unless she wins polls (which has not been happening). And if it was the incest aspect, that he's got even longer to wait.

Spoiler: As for Debbie's quest, story, journey in fictional life, whatever...

I can see where you're coming from now to be honest. But still, whatever her update includes or is called, is still an update, saying it might never come out contradicts all of the above.

And if people misunderstand "remake" for something never promised, fuck 'em, people whine and shit all over this thread regardless, so trying to prevent it by getting pedantic over the meaning of remake while remake is just an umbrella term for Debbie's make-over, isn't exactly stopping arguments but rather starting them.

In the end I don't think we disagree, maybe I expect a little more than literally just updated art and scenes than you, aside from promised pregnancy and dating I would like to see a new scene or two thrown in when she gets overhauled, but that's just hopefulness and bias talking.

And as for any time you think I've been hurt by anything you have ever said, you can rest easy knowing that your barbs are as sharp as cotton swabs.

I don't actually think you've ever been hurt by what I said, but I beg to differ on that last part

Yeah that's what I'm saying. Rework/remake/redo doesn't necessarily mean new content, it just means she's getting reworked. If her story is finished and already has substantial content it's just her art, scenes and possibly quest design that will be overhauled, maybe (not expected, would just be a nice bonus) add a scene or two in there for good measure.

I don't think we're going to get her rework anytime soon, like you said, it's going to take a while to do her update for not much in return when you compare it to new character quests.

Yeah, I'd indeed say that a quest overhaul will almost certainly happen in some parts and we'll see many small additions in between, just like in Diane's update. It'll be nice for those who like her, but it'll take a lot of time.

Gotta love me some empty debate

If you are hinting that it could be released before tech update - highly unlikely.

The art appears it could have been done for a bit, already (or at least a good chunk of it). I would suspect that not a single bit of the coding or posing has even started on it - because those folks are working on the tech update.

The posing would need to be done in 4:3 ratio for the current version if it were even considered what you're hinting at. Then that posing would need to be updated to 16:9 for the tech update - making extra work for the staff and more expenses for DC to pay. Similar with the coding - it would need written to be compatible with the current code AND the code after the update or first compatible for current code and then revised for the code after. Again more work and more cost.

If I'm hinting at anything, it's that at the speed things have played out with the tech update DC is going to be done the art for Rhonda before the coding is done for tech and that should be borderline embarassing for them. Given the revenue this project brings in, it should be nothing for them to hire a couple people for a couple months tto help. Revenue which has been steadily dropping for the last ten months, presumably because there hasn't been any kind of real release.

R(h)onda's art is indeed mostly done (for what we know from the streams) and they won't hire more dudes, even if it shames them all to hell and back. $/month means nothing

$/month will matter if it drops low enough that DC has to go back to working for other people. I remember how exactly he was to get to the point he could quit his day job. Would be a shame to ruin all that just because they're not willing to make the extra effort to catch up.

His last hire goal was at 25K, he still has a long way to go before panic gets in there

the font size, can it be changed? my eyes are not very good

but I beg to differ on that last part

That's because you hold the stick end of the swab

Is the android version patched? Cuz the game won't start via Joiplay (as is the case for almost every RenPy game on Joiplay ).

I find it will launch in JoiPlay, it just takes about 5 min of a black screen before it launches.

I really hope this tech update actually fixes that.

He actually quit his job before he started SS, because he wanted top freelance from home. He said quite a few times that he'd continue working on the game, even If he had to start drawing as a "real Job" again.

You're waiting for an emulator that blows to unpack over 1GB of assets at the start

It’s fucking comical how long this update is taking. To think of how much Jenny content they could have made in this time

You mean she'd get nothing ? Her route's been done for years (so no scenes), she already has the most scenes in the game (so no need for more), she even got 2 new during the batches (including 1 of the only 2 preg smex) ..... Nice try though

Or a Jenny/Debbie/Diane 4some storyline and scenes.

Lol, keep dreaming and telling us about it

I gotta stop coming to this thread. 99% of the posts are just complaints. You got complaints you can easily go on Picarto and directly tell DC about em. Cause im tired trying to look through all the whining for information and im pretty sure everyone else is too.
