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

[Deleted member 378959]

As the dev is making about 745k USD each year (660k is the threshold for the top 1% of US earners), slow updates are not a surprise - which beach are they sipping drinks on ??? They do keep communications going on a monthly basis, and talk about new sceens in the making, but none of that makes it here unfortunately.

The status updates do make it here thanks to 1-2 passionate souls <3 but yes it's paywalled on patreon so they don't get bombarded with negative comments calling them out and to give patrons something to chew on.

Somebody asked the same thing on the last page.

The thing is they talk about the game like once or twice on 2 hour long streams which nobody with a life is willing to sift through. I tried. Most of the "game" talk is also about unimportant stuff that wont see the light of day till at least 2025 like "we're gonna add a hidden bookcase that is a door for the Annie update". Streams are mostly DC and Sploosh and/or Stray just drinking and talking about random stuff with barely any work being done.

People who've asked DC on stream about the update or hiring more people or any fair suggestion immediately got a passive agressive response or mocked. It's great.

A lot of patrons are...well...
Between the patreon, discord and stream they're in a nice cult-like echo chamber.

Which might be the whole point, tbh

"Proof of life" mean shit, if they ain't working on the game.

What lies? We're up to almost a year now without anything but our dicks in our hands to show for it. I am getting Simbro vibes. I think DC needs to present a real proof of life. Otherwise my thoughts are he's dead and they're milking it.

Please take note that you do not speak for the masses. Some of us are not hitting refresh here every two minutes hoping to see a new release. For myself at least, I'm playing other games while this is being working on.

You should have tried to max out your "not interested" skill to avoid becoming another broken record player.

Unfortunately, these types of games, (and even bigger games like Escape From Tarkov), use slow development as a business strategy. Hell, even the dev of Lessons in Love has went from 2 weeks between updates to a month and a half for each update.

It is a balancing act between prolonging development to have a salary and keeping the consumers engaged enough to keep them subscribed. That usually means 1 to 2 hours of content a month with plenty of cock teasing but no real release.

You could skip through the VODs yourself, they are available to the public on Picarto.

Haven't been on this thread in a year, and from the recent comments I can safely say this game is starting to smell like Monster Girl Island and Milfy City.
YEEHAW I'm along for the ride again

yeah, a few years ago the content updates were very frequent if not with a lot of content. but now it's just reaching milfy city levels of late.

He still streams regularly, so it's not quite as bad.
But as of late it's only backgrounds
He used to preview spicy content.

A month back i think i saw some spicy content with Judith and Jenny rework/new scenes. But after that is has been mostly backgrounds for all the new locations. What i don't understand is why are there so many new locations? I thought that this was going to be just a Tech update but it looks like there are going to be added new quests or those are locations that will be used for the planned updates that come after the tech.

They must've taken a note from Star Citizen's playbook.

£48,380/ month and it’s been almost a year since any update to the game. Completely unacceptable.

but at this point is not the dev's fault...but his subscribers being stupid...or delusional.
