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

[seraphimd2]

Seems to me that a better option for your attention span would be to give up on adult games, and switch to pornhub.

SS isn't exactly a puzzlegame, any and all items you need you can find in minutes if that, and how to progress in the game is literally explained to you in the story itself.

the only thing that is really,really,really,REALLY annoying is Dexter's basketball mini game...its totally unecessary to be the way it is,but its passable at least...

When is next update?

Soon™

Noob here. Starting 1st time. How to avoid incest guys?

There technically is no incest in the game anymore. If you want to avoid characters that used to be family members then avoid the two people who live in the same house as you (Debbie and Jenny) and then Debbie's sister (Diane).

I totally forgot about that :O That rly was a pain in the ass minigame, but after a couple of failures I just mashed the keys randomly and got through it. Did the same thing with the Dexter fight

Depending on your stats the fight is so much easier than the game.

1. Just to make it clear,DC adds new updates on specific characters,that means 1 character gets an update so when you start the game you can see the new stuff he added,so basically yes you will start a new game but you don't need to do everything from the start,skip all the other characters and focus on the one he added new scenes.

Unfortunately, this is not true, because the progress with the new character is largely intertwined with progress with other characters or bullshit mini games that you can't skip altogether. The last addition I remember was Harold's wife (whatever her name was) and the ordeal I had to go through just for two interesting scenes was what made me quit.

Sure, it's a great concept, I like the art, the story too, but the basic game design and development is either retarded or specifically designed to milk that sweet Patreon money. If someone is desperate enough to play a minor addition every five months with no end in sight, I can't protect you from yourselves, but what I'm going to do is focus on and support developers who offer considerably higher value with a much lower budget (Lewdlab, Stiglet, CheekyGimp, Jikei, etc.).

Like… do you even realise what an ethical and eager developer would be able to do with $250,000 in five months?! Bloody heck, that's enough for a whole new game that is longer and without bugs! Pillars of Eternity raised around $4 million and took about 2 years to complete, yet here we have a broken porn game in bloody Ren'Py with a budget that already exceeds at least half a million USD and has taken almost 3 years.

2. Why did you came back if you stopped following it about a year ago then ?

Because I looked at the top rated games here and was surprised to still see this up there.

"all those gullible idiots who actually continue to pay are the worst plague of this Patreon porn genre because other developers see this and think: “Hey, if this jerk can get away with it, then let's try to milk this as much as possible too!” first of all you are the worst plague of the world because like everyone else you can't stop whining about everything and starts shitposting every time.

So a mildly critical post after about a year makes me worse than those who support developers who are releasing broken updates despite earning in the excess of $50k per month and produce the same or even less amount of content compared to when they were earning 1% of that, thus encouraging other developers to adopt the same model? Sure, sure…

And people who actually pay DC they're paying him because SS is still one of the best games out there and people like them actually pays him because they like this game and they wanna see it completed.

Good luck! You might see progress in the main story in about five years and then maybe it will get an ending in ten years or so.

Can't you see that as soon as he finishes the game, it will likely be all over? His income will drop considerably because he likely won't be able to generate the same hype for his potential next game, thus he's motivated to keep developing this very game for as long as possible. He's found a gold mine and if he shuts it down and moves to find another one, he risks never finding it.

I cannot wait for the next update. Jenny's been getting onto me about how cumming inside her might make her pregnant for years.

 

[VirgilSteam]

Is see there is BDSM in the game. I starrted recently. With which character is it ?

There is some mild BDSM with Jenny later down her route. Helen, Mia's mom, has some as well if you select her path on Mia's route.

The last addition I remember was Harold's wife (whatever her name was) and the ordeal I had to go through just for two interesting scenes was what made me quit.

unfortunately what you are saying is not true. i recently replayed the roxxy update and i didn't have to do do a single thing with the other characters to get through her story. that's how it is for most characters. i think for the diane route you have to play the debbie route for a couple minutes (!), which you can easily skip if that's too much time for you. also as far as i know you can skip pretty much every mini game when you're in cheat mode.

Sure, it's a great concept, I like the art, the story too, but the basic game design and development is either retarded or specifically designed to milk that sweet Patreon money. If someone is desperate enough to play a minor addition every five months with no end in sight, I can't protect you from yourselves, but what I'm going to do is focus on and support developers who offer considerably higher value with a much lower budget (Lewdlab, Stiglet, CheekyGimp, Jikei, etc.).

i just checked out all the devs you mentioned and i almost spilled some coke on my keyboard because i had to laugh. none of them do hand drawn art, it's all shitty 3DCG style with characters that look like goblins. if that's your thing, that's fine but thinking that shit is of higher value than summertime sagas hand drawn art is just LOL. the worst thing is every character from those 3DCG games look the same. terrible.

Like… do you even realise what an ethical and eager developer would be able to do with $250,000 in five months?! Bloody heck, that's enough for a whole new game that is longer and without bugs! Pillars of Eternity raised around $4 million and took about 2 years to complete, yet here we have a broken porn game in bloody Ren'Py with a budget that already exceeds at least half a million USD and has taken almost 3 years.

see that's the thing with complainers. you are either just trolling or completly uninformed. pillars of eternity didn't just cost 4 million. those kickstarter games from famous developers always have outside investors that throw in millions of dollars. the kickstarter money is often just a small amount of the dev cost to proof to investors that there is interest in the game, nothing more. you are completly delusional if you think pillars did just cost 4 million i'm sorry.

So a mildly critical post after about a year makes me worse than those who support developers who are releasing broken updates despite earning in the excess of $50k per month and produce the same or even less amount of content compared to when they were earning 1% of that, thus encouraging other developers to adopt the same model? Sure, sure…

it was not a mildly critical post it was the same uninformed shitpost that we get over and over and over again. i don't know how often it has to be said but just because you throw money at something doesn't magically make the game develop faster. project don't usually scale up proportionally to their budget. even if DC made a fucking million a month as long as he doesn't find someone who can imitate his art, is willing to work on a porn game and can work on his own the game won't get done faster because the art is the bottleneck. the last patreon goal DC set was at 30k because he said that's all the money he needs right now to pay everyone and make the game according to his vision. it's not his fault that people keep throwing money at him.

Can't you see that as soon as he finishes the game, it will likely be all over? His income will drop considerably because he likely won't be able to generate the same hype for his potential next game, thus he's motivated to keep developing this very game for as long as possible. He's found a gold mine and if he shuts it down and moves to find another one, he risks never finding it.

woah how do you know so much? you already proved that you have no fucking clue how game development works so i'm not sure if i should put trust your amazing predictions.

Good luck! You might see progress in the main story in about five years and then maybe it will get an ending in ten years or so.

thanks good luck to you too! have fun with the gobbos see you in 10 years when SS is done

 

[dirgetka]

well,this probably means animations were delivered

Nah, probably not. AEHentai's work is really a posing job IIRC. I also remember the task board being posted a few days ago and the final art task there was creampie x-rays.

 

[Steve3444]

Is Judith still getting any new scenes? seems her bathroom scene has options that don't go anywhere

 

[Deleted member 10214]

It’s weird there haven’t been any previews yet? DC usually releases one close to the release date. That sort of worry’s me for this update kinda

 

[seraphimd2]

you must remember some of DC work is only completed after some of the animations are delivered(he said that himself last update when his part stopped in 98%,and that it would only be concluded after they received the animations),if he ended his part already its because some of the animations pending from before are already delivered,there probably other animations,or maybe not,who knows...

someday,when the patrons decide to vote on her,we may see something more,sadly i would reccomend you to not wait for it so soon....

it's gonna happen someday bro don't give up hope. i'm gonna vote for her even if i'm not into her as soon as ronda and mia get their updates just for you

 

[redevil70]

Jenny, but yeah. The bulk of the update content is in the 0.18 update, and the endgame content is in 0.18.5. If I had to guess the 18.5 will release relatively quick after the initial 0.18 release, kind of like when we got the .5 christmas update within a week from the release of the major update.

so is it better than 18.5?

 

[JKH18]

so is it better than 18.5?

I've no clue what you mean? Let me try again, the majority of the new content will be in the 0.18 update, and shortly after 0.18 is released, we'll get 0.18.5 which will have Jenny's endgame content, i.e. pregnancy etc.

 

[matthewrealfan]

I like this game, but I would like to finally go through it. 3 years is a long time. The creator should go to the end and here the game is constantly growing. The weight of threads builds up problems. We have v0.17.5 ... It will take 10 years to finish this game ... I would like to see new characters in the new world with a new story. PS. Mia is sooooooooooooooooooooooo boring.

 

[Steve3444]

I only found out about this game a week ago so I guess I was lucky I didn't have to wait for anything and the game was really great, but I don't think I'm going to replay it for every new version and probably wait until there's a 2-3 hours of new content I haven't seen, probably a year away or more but that's life.
This game and Taffy Tales is what I'm looking forward to in the future. A Town Uncovered too but I just couldn't deal with that artwork style

I meant to say if it is better to wait 18.5 rather than play immediately 0.18 as it is still not completely finished

 

[RedGlow]

It will be finished man. It is just.. Let's say DC will enhance the story with a couple of scenes. It is up to you to wait or not. But, i won't wait because i know myself, i will gladly play it again more than once.

thank you, we will evaluate the problem but I believe that I too will play immediately 0.18 and then 0.18.5 hoping that the rescues are compatible ...
