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

[ImTransAndTiny]

Believe it or not, there are a lot of developers on this forum. I now know several personally. And even more from their fans/patreons. Some use this forum specifically as public relations work to see how their product is received by the players. This means that criticism written here, provided it is formulated politely and constructively, often arrives the developers.

The developers of other games, yes. Not the developers of Summertime Saga. I'm only talking about this thread for this game. Criticism, constructive or otherwise, for this game will not be read by anyone who has the power to do anything about it.

That doesn't mean that criticism has no value. Critique breeds debate, debate breeds new ideas, and new ideas, if they're good enough, will find a way to the top. Even if DC and his team don't follow this thread directly, someone indirectly connected to them might be. Heck, even current devs or devs of games yet to be could read this thread and gain some useful ideas about what might work and might not work in their own projects. Even bad faith criticism has its own value in training each of us to recognize it and how to engage (or even ignore) it. And if someone is a consistent and obvious bad actor, it's easy enough to mute them so you'll never have to see their unhinged ramblings again.

Ideas don't form in a vacuum, they form as a result of vigorous debate and interrogation of that which we know and don't know. Is an incredible idea going to form from this barely-contained cesspool? Probably not. But it's incredibly cynical to preemptively dismiss someone attempting to engage in debate as "toxic" or a troll whose thoughts are useless because they lack the means to change things.

Yet you keep going?

Well if you read the thread you must have noticed that I haven't posted on this thread after I made that comment. Are you lonely or something? I get that we all need someone to talk but I am not really interested. Try someone else.
You're on the ignore list so keep that in mind if you decide to respond to this.

 

[randommal3]

What do you expect? I can
I can't say what I think of you but I think your story is outdated

put something like that together

Of course i am Outdated.
I'm not Here 24/7.

Crying milking daily isn't criticism though. And they could all just go to Patreon/Discord/Picarto with their "criticism" and dump it there, at least DC and co might see it. We'd then have reports of mass insta-bans and DC is a sleazeball

(I think I'm a bit late)From the looks of it, Based on the Website, DC is trying to add another Location(Lighthouse). Not sure how if that would relevant to the story.

The lighthouse is part of the widescreen map extension (next to a biker bar, stadium, museum, arcade/bowling alley, cabin and a few new family homes) and it's mainly going to be used as a dating spot in the future - and it'll be Cpt. Sploosh's house.

I had no idea that shitposting was such a noble pursuit!

I still don't see the point of debating an issue that you have no power to change. I mean, your life is yours and you can waste it any way you want. I personally think it's nobler to use our precious time in this world to make people happier rather than angrier. Orgasms being the best thing in life, I consider creating pornography a noble pursuit. I'm here to create content to help people masturbate and enjoy life. How about we all post things to make each other happy instead of bringing each other down with futile "debating"?

I honestly wouldn't be half-way surprised if some modder just used like, iunno, ChatGPT and instantly optimised SS's code at this point. We're nearing the time where that doesn't seem farfetched.

This thread is in serious need of moderation. Hundreds of post everyday but 90% of em are just hapless losers doomer posting about the dev's decisions. Even if DC is running a money laundering scheme why do you ppl care? You're clearly not a patreon if you are maldin about the game's development in here, this is just free shit for you in a sea of free shit. Just find a different hobby or a different game to jack off to. Jesus

I watched the thread so that i could get some updates or fan arts but yeah, it's one of the reasons why i don't visit the thread really often.

ChatGPT won't re-pose the ~20k asset parts into the new wider backgrounds for every scene in the game

There's a fan art thread link in the OP if that's what you're interested in

So still no new pregnancy for the many other girls at I'm guessing.
Like for example Roxy or Debbie.

Unless you never read anything in the last ~5 years, you're in for a surprise about stuff being done

I am pretty sure, Roxy will not ever get preg content.

Why?

Hi people. I am new to this game and I am not sure if it deserves to be played at this state. How complete is it? Can it be finished (the main storyline for example) and only lacks bonus content, or I should expect tons of bugs and lack of content?

You should play it.

There's a lot of content and plays pretty smooth with bugs/crashes being extremely rare. Main story is finished and a lot of girls have a completed quest, but there are still some girls and features that have yet to be developed. And a couple of quests are outdated but will get remade eventually.
