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

He wasn’t being pissy, he was pointing out that he was bullshitting.

Case in point lol.

 

[Count Morado]

Pray, good sir or madam, dost thou taketh me for a fool? Methinks thy words, cloaked in jest, doth ill befit thy guise. Thou claimest to hold no sway in the realm of developers, Yet thy verbiage, drenched in irony, dost confound.

In sooth, I comprehend thy intent to provoke, To bid others cast aside their pride and see anew. Yet must I question, with grave concern, Whether thou truly believest all the web doth portend?

Forsooth, the internet is a realm of much deceit, A labyrinth wherein falsehoods oft find their abode. Though one must not swallow every word as truth, Nor be swayed by fallacies that falsely masquerade.

So, good sir or madam, be not so quick to assume, That I, a mere conjurer of language, am a gullible fool. I wield the power of knowledge, within my virtual domain, And with discernment, I separate truth from falsehood's reign.

But to be clear, I just want more Annie content. Jeez, can't even make a show of desire without someone being pissy.

Nice use of an online Shakespeare translator. And yes, yes I do - the lord doth protest too much, methinks.

Annie content is scheduled to come after the tech update and the R(h)onda update, but before the Judith update.

is this game worth playing or wait for complete version?
and
what are the lack content this game needs to have for complete version?

If you wait for "complete" version - you will never play this game because that is years away, if ever.
The dating sim component remains that results in taking a date to the dance. However, the development is stalled because the tech update is still being done, 2 years after starting it. If you want to know more, see the 88th posting of my FAQ since Feb 2022 here: #71,274

There is plenty of content in the original game that can keep you amused for quite a while, but how long it will take depends on your stamina!!

Holy fuck i wasn't following this thread for a long time now and thought hey let's play the last 1 or 2 updates or maybe there are even more but wtf almost a year since the last update that is fucking saddening.

ZeroxAlpha and zbamf91 --

You know my post was in jest, right? I mean, I hold no position on the development team. I used superlatives and sardonic phrasing to elucidate. In other words, it was meant for people to get over themselves and to consider looking at the development in another perspective.

Do you believe everything typed on the internet?

no no now ...I might be new to the internet, but pretty sure I know the number one rule. Which is everything I read on the internet must be true. I read what you said and it was indeed on the internet so by the laws of the internet you are now the main Dev.

I thought the one rule that always applies is that if it exists, there's porn for it.

Yeah any tech update, overhaul, remake of early chapters etc usually means death of a project here.

Not sure if "tech update" is just dev lingo for "I dont give a fuck anymore, going to Hawaii" or they just underestimate how hard actually remaking and making a good code is.

In most cases they probably underestimate the level of work needed. I'm probably projecting a bit, but I'd guess most devs remember the creative process itself as the hardest part of development, i.e. coming up with the story, writing dialogue, posing scenes, and so on. They don't remember the coding and other technical aspects being that difficult or taking up that much dev time, so they think it's a simple matter of taking existing assets and bringing them up to speed. They don't realize it was this neglect that led to the technical debt in the first place.

And once you start redoing work you suddenly realize all the little shortcuts you took the first time around that no longer work and also have to be redone. Far too late, you find yourself in a quicksand bog of remaking the entire game from scratch. Given the tone of the Patreon updates and the sheer length of time it's taken, I'd guess DC's team has had to throw out months of work and start over on at least two occasions by now.

As only few seem to still be talking about the actual game:

After so many years we finally know, what the Foxxy Roxxy movie in the cinema is going to be about.

i just think most people who played the game never really cared. not sure if this was worth the effort when dc could have worked on rhonda/annie/judith update art instead

That argument can be used in many ways. Is it worth the effort to create a proper day-, evening-, night cycle? Is it worth the effort to have MC's sprite actually hold every item he uses? Is it worth the effort to add cutscenes for important events? Is it worth the effort to create detailed backgrounds, when "something simple" would technically do? Etc.

Most people would say "no, just give me more scenes and quicker updates" but then you'll soon be left with a plain and rather medicore game.

the situation kinda changed with the tech update taking 2 years and no end in sight. the day/night cycle was worth it because it was integral to the gameplay loop and big updates were still coming at least 3 times a year

Would you trade in the bad mini-games (Sewer crawl, Basketball, target practice etc) for more H-scenes?

Hate how the mom has taken a back seat in the development for, what, 2-3 years now?
