Ren'Py Summertime Saga [v21.0.0 wip.5258] [Kompas Productions]

[Deleted member 426398]

He needs to redo the code to make save files compatible, since a shit ton of people complain about it every update. Yes, it is his fault for not making it right from the start, but he has stated that he had no substantial knowledge of coding when he started.

Really adds to his "I worked in the gaming industry" talk.

and if he knows what the bottlenecks that needed to fix are, it makes no sense they take longer to make, than the original update they got.

The bottleneck remains the art and DC absolutely refuses to let anyone else touch it because he'd make less money if he sped that up and it gives him an eternal excuses to be slow and milk it.

Because he worked in the gaming industry he has to know how to code? Especially in Python, the language Ren'Py uses?

Well, I work in the printing industry. But I couldn't operate a Heidelberg Speedmaster nor a Fujifilm Jet Press. But guess what, the printer, the man/woman working those machines I mentioned, couldn't do my job either, namely typesetting or imposition.

Who'd a thunk an entire industry could encompass different and highly specialised jobs?!

I was only having a decent discussion on this public forum. I have no intention of trying to make DC change his ways. It is not my business to manage his game the way I want. It's solely his issue, but that doesn't mean I am not allowed to criticize it.

I only suggest that you ask him personnaly, instead of making criticisms based on only things you have told yourself?

My criticism is based on observation. I have been playing since almost the beggining, I know what I'm talking about. But sure, keep blindly defending him because he answered your discord message, oh em gee senpai noticed me. Ask him what, exactly? There was no question, I was making a statement. What the hell are you even smoking, my guy?

It's more than 100 days update though. The current update is only 65% completed, and it's been well over 3 months.

Well, not really, the "secret" 17.5 update was released shortly before christmas and they took the holidays off. So apart from some minor work in november/december they started in the first week of january. That means we are basically 60-something days in.

Yes, but that is dishonest, isn't it? I wasn't talking about when they started working. That does not matter one bit. What matters is the time between updates.

Oooooooh by the time I get to play the full 1.00 release I might actually have a grandchild by that point

So what your saying is you didn't learn anything even remotely related to your job while working at your job. Good to know.

I'm just glad this game is still up there with somewhat regular updates, great content and increasingly quality. I actually don't care how long it takes to finish, might as well enjoy the journey rather than cut it off. Although I'm really curious to see the game that will come after SS.

Annyone know what kind of gender the babies are????

 

[CassidyPRO]

I feel like people on this site go out of their way to misinform when it comes to Summertime Saga. The Jenny and Diane update are ment to moved them onto the code because the old code was shit, rework their story and move the art to the rig system, and finally introduce the pregnancy system. Also DC planing to do the same with Mia, Eric, and the mom

i think you just didnt understand what he is saying. lol

What do you mean?

Baby genders are randomly picked. Not that it matters.

What matters is the time between updates.

Yes, but in that case it's still not 100 days (that number isn't official anyway) since the last update was released 78 days ago. Sure, secret surprise updates mess with the schedule but that's kind of the point after all. I mean, else we wouldn't have had a christmas update...

Else I'd say it's fair to take some time off during christmas and new year. Way too many devs burn out despite good earnings and everyone deserves some private time. Those who are not happy can simply adjust their pledge. I'm doing that for more than a year now.

 

[CassidyPRO]

What do you mean?

I dont think he is talking about the code.. He is talking about changing the characters models.

Like their faces and all.

I don’t see how improving the art is a bad thing or a waste of time.

Depends on whether or not it's an improvement. Sometimes artists get wrapped up in their work so badly that they can wind up sticking their heads up their asses. Different is not always good.

 

[Glasglow]

So my STR and DEX are maxed out as it says in my status bar (Its full 10/10) however i still can't get the big guy to help me bench when Kevin isn't there.

Also some DEX related scenes are still unavailable as the shower Scene with Jenny, says i'm not high enough in DEX even tho its 10/10.

Does DEX/STR go higher than the displayed parameters or is it just unfinished content?

But it is clearly an improvement. I mean compare the old art and animations to the new one there is clearly a jump in quality.

The awful balloon tits from before were not better and do not become jarring in comparison to every piece of art that comes after it.
