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

[MurkyTurtle]

I get your point on tasks and I'm not complaining as I haven't paid anything for this either. I guess I would have to know more about what they are doing as far as the scripting goes because I've worked on larger re-write projects than this and it seems that the code tasks are taking far longer to finished than they should. 69% complete for several weeks now. Not a few .. several. Over a year to tweak these scripts (a great deal of it being small subs) to take a different set of parameters is a bit much for me to believe. But hey, as I said, I am not getting agitated about the delay since I don't pay for it. I just get a bit annoyed with my peers (fellow coders/scripters) when they seem to be dragging their asses.

There is supposedly a brand new reservation system for managing character routes that they've been trying to implement for some time. We've only gotten bits and pieces through occasional Discord mentions, but it doesn't seem to be going well and they've been resorting to cheap workarounds. The team's reticence to share coding details outside of an esoteric list of tweaks for the monthly progress report isn't encouraging, either; as you've said, this project isn't complex enough to be showing little to no external momentum for several weeks or even months at a time.

As Senigata said, the truth is probably a mixture of having to start over several times and a relatively inexperienced set of coders. Starting over again with a new team could easily add more months to an already bloated development hell.

I thought it was 12 months, in that case thtis is a fair post.

Man, 18 is a looong time. But we can make it there. Just gotta believe.

One week away from A WHOLE YEAR of Patreon milking. DarkCookie can officially teach scamming lessons to YandereDev

How long until the DC discord chats get leaked, lol.

You mean the chats between the development staff? Most likely if some drama happens between them. As for the regular discord chats, hmm, good question. Doesn't like every tier of Patreon grant you access to it?
You'd think a bunch of it would get posted here but it's not.

It looks like DC has already finished the tech update art and now working on Rhonda's update.
So, there is a chance that we may see the tech update next month.(fingers crossed)

Hasn't he been finished for like half a year now and is now merely going through the motions while his army of chimps tryna graft together something that actually runs?
But yeah, don't expect anything within a year.

Most character routes are still to be rewritten.

Rewrites aren't going to happen after Tech Update.

Well goddamn. Too bad the rate the development is going, no Smith until the year 10191 at the earliest.

This game supposed to be finished?

This game supposed to be finished?

Finished-compete?
or
Finished-polished?

Either way, no.

Finished-compete?

Finished-polished?

Either way, no.

I don't know, it's pretty polished compared to a lot of other porn games that are "in development". For obvious reasons it's not going to happen but I'd go so far as to say DC could slap together a rushed ending and call the whole thing done and the game would be pretty well polished indeed. But we all know why that won't happen.

DC/Kuntpas Productions are making WAY too much money to quit anytime soon.

Can you imagine if he had to get a REAL job? He'd never make this kind of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
63K members at $5 is $315,210 or $10 is $632,042! So somewhere between $63,042 and $632,042 per month!

I'm glad I left his patreon years ago. I switched to SubscribeStar and Mr Dots Games (among others) ever since.

If they release anything before Christmas I'd be shocked.

This thing should get the abandoned tag already.
